(c) Conversion of Common Stock. Subject to Sections 3.2(i), 3.2(k), 3.5 and the last sentence of 10.3(a), each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than such shares of Common Stock held by the Company or any Company Subsidiary), after giving effect to the Preferred Stock Conversion and any option exercise, including Cashless Exercises, shall be entitled to receive: (i) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Milestone Consideration less the quotient obtained by dividing the sum of (A) 50% of the Transaction Expenses, (B) the Escrow Amount and (C) the Stockholder Representative Reserve by the Total Number of Shares; (such amount payable under this Section 3.1(c)(i), the "CASH CONSIDERATION"); provided that payments in respect of shares of Common Stock issued upon Cashless Exercises shall be made net of the exercise price per share applicable to the underlying Company Stock Option; plus (ii) at the time of the achievement of Milestone 1, and subject to the Milestone 1 Price Adjustment, the Milestone 1 Shares, plus, if the Company satisfies all the conditions of Milestone 1 and achieves Customer Acceptance of at least 2,000 Product Units on or before the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Additional Milestone 1 Shares; provided, however, that the stockholders listed on Schedule 3.1(c) shall receive, in lieu of such Milestone 1 Shares and, if applicable, Additional Milestone 1 Shares, cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares; plus (iii) at the time of the achievement of Milestone 2, and subject to the Milestone 2 Price Adjustment, the Milestone 2 Shares, plus, in the event there was a Milestone 1 Price Adjustment or there were no Milestone 1 Shares issued pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(ii), the Additional Milestone 2 Shares, if any; provided, however, that the stockholders listed on Schedule 3.1(c) shall receive, in lieu of such Milestone 2 Shares and, if applicable, Additional Milestone 2 Shares, cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares; plus (iv) at the time set forth in, and subject to, Section 10.3 (and with respect to the disbursement of any amounts remaining in the Stockholder Reserve, Section 3.4), such holder's Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Payment, if any. The aggregate "ESCROW PAYMENT" is an amount equal to (I) the Escrow Amount, less (II) the aggregate amounts paid or payable in respect of indemnifiable Losses or any other expenses or amounts deducted from the Escrow Fund, in each case in accordance with Article X or the Escrow Agreement, plus (III) any amounts remaining in the Stockholder Representative Reserve. Collectively, the Cash Consideration, the Stock Consideration and the Escrow Payment, if any, payable pursuant to this Section 3.1(c), which shall not in the aggregate exceed $38,541,173.85, subject to fluctuations in the Fair Market 16 Value of the Parent Common Stock following establishment of the Exchange Ratio, are referred to as the "COMMON STOCK MERGER CONSIDERATION". At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and such shares of Company Stock shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a "Certificate") formerly representing any such shares of Company Stock (other than such shares held by the Company or any Company Subsidiary) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Common Stock Merger Consideration. (d) Company Stock Options. The Company shall effectuate, as described in the following sentence, the cashless exercise (the "CASHLESS EXERCISE"), as of the Effective Time, of all Company Stock Options outstanding that were not previously exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time so that as of the Effective Time such Company Stock Options shall be cancelled and shall no longer represent the right to purchase Company Common Stock or any other equity security of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub; provided, however, that any Company Stock Option with an exercise price greater than the Cash Consideration shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time and shall no longer represent the right to purchase Company Common Stock or any other equity security of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub unless the holder of such option exercises such option by paying the applicable exercise price in cash. Each holder of a Company Stock Option, upon such Cashless Exercise, shall be entitled to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration provided for under Section 3.1(c) above. (e) Warrants. As of the Effective Time, all unexercised Company Warrants whether or not exercisable, shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist and each holder of any Company Warrants shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, and each instrument formerly representing a Company Warrant shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Warrant Consideration, which shall not in the aggregate exceed $498,834.57. (f) Escrow Fund. At the Closing, Parent shall cause to be deposited with a mutually agreed upon escrow agent (the "ESCROW AGENT"), the Escrow Amount, which is to be held in an interest-bearing account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and Article X (the "ESCROW FUND"). 3.2 Payment of Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, Parent shall make the following disbursements, in each case in accordance with the final Aggregate Consideration Spreadsheet delivered pursuant to Section 3.3: (a) Parent shall disburse to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Amount.

(d) Parent shall disburse to each Company Stockholder such Company Stockholder's portion of the Cash Consideration; provided that prior to any such disbursement to any Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder shall have delivered to Parent a properly completed letter of transmittal substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto together with such Company Stockholder's Certificate. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, as of the Effective Time, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall pay to such holder in immediately available funds, the amount of the Cash Consideration into which the shares formerly represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to the terms of this Article III, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. All cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of Section 3.2(g) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Stock previously represented by such Certificates, and at the Effective Time the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 3.2(d). (e) Parent shall disburse to each holder of a Company Warrant such holder's portion of the Warrant Consideration. (f) Parent shall disburse to the Company for payment to each holder of a Company Stock Option, the Option Cash Consideration. (g) Promptly after (i) the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the earlier of (A) the attainment of Milestone 2 and (B) the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after Parent has verified that the applicable Milestone has been achieved (or the occurrence of the applicable anniversary of the Closing Date), Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative either a statement that no Milestone Shares have been earned or a reasonably detailed spreadsheet (a "Milestone Spreadsheet") calculating and allocating to each Company Stockholder whose shares of Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 3.1(c) into the right to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration and who complied with the requirements of Section 3.2(d), (A) that number of whole Milestone 1, Additional Milestone 1, Milestone 2, and/or Additional Milestone 2 Shares, as applicable, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article III and (B) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Milestone 1, Additional Milestone 1, Milestone 2, and/or Additional Milestone 2 Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(i), or (C) with respect to the stockholders listed on Schedule 3.1(c), the cash in lieu of shares that such 18 stockholder is entitled to receive. The Stockholder Representative shall, within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of the Milestone Spreadsheet, notify Parent of any objections to the calculations or allocations set forth therein. If the Stockholder Representative agrees with the calculations and allocations by providing written notice thereof to Parent or does not raise any written objection thereto to Parent within such ten (10) Business Day period, Parent shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter, deliver or cause to be delivered to each former Company Stockholder a certificate (or evidence of shares in book entry form) representing that number of whole Milestone 1 and/or Milestone 2 Shares (and cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any) such holder is entitled to receive as set forth in the applicable Milestone Spreadsheet, or, with respect to the stockholders listed on Schedule 3.1(c), the cash in lieu of shares that such stockholder is entitled to receive. In the event the Stockholder Representative objects to the calculations or allocations set forth in either Milestone Spreadsheet, the parties shall resolve the dispute pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 10.3(e). Parent shall have no obligation to make any payments under this Section 3.2(e) until a final determination has been made pursuant to Section 10.3(e). In the event of a transfer of ownership of a share of Company Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer books of the Company, the proper amount of the Merger Consideration (as determined in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Article III) may be paid in exchange therefor to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Stock Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and accompanied by all the documents required by Section 3.2(d), and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate. (h) No Liability. None of the Surviving Corporation, NWL, Parent or the Company shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. (i) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the payment of the Stock Consideration, no dividends or other distributions of Parent shall relate to such fractional shares and such fractional shares will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Parent. In lieu of such fractional shares, Parent shall pay to each holder of a Certificate (at such time as Parent is required to deliver any Stock Consideration to such holder) an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the fractional share to which such holder (after taking into account all shares of Common Stock held at the Effective Time by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (B) the applicable Average Closing Price. (j) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or 19 destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, Parent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would be entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(i), in each case pursuant to this Agreement. (k) Withholding Taxes. Parent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from that portion of the Merger Consideration, otherwise payable to a holder of shares of Company Stock or stock options, pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, that Parent and Escrow Agent hereby agree that they shall not withhold any amounts pursuant to the Israeli income tax ordinance with respect to any payments pursuant to this Agreement made directly or indirectly to a "United States resident" (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Treaty Between Israel and the United States (the "Treaty") to extent that the Company provides, at the time of each such payment, a legal opinion from Israeli counsel, reasonably acceptable to Parent, to the effect that the Company is not a resident of Israel and/or that United States residents otherwise qualify for an exemption pursuant to the Treaty. It being understood that nothing herein shall derogate from any liability of such United States resident to any taxes and from any indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. The parties agree that an opinion substantially as set forth in Exhibit G would be reasonably acceptable to Parent; provided, that Parent is reasonably satisfied that the assumptions underlying the opinion are factually accurate at the time(s) the opinion is given. To the extent amounts are so withheld, Parent shall be treated as though it withheld from the type of consideration from which withholding is required, an appropriate amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Stock, in order to provide for such withholding obligation and such withheld amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of the shares of Company Stock or stock option. (l) Tax Treatment. The parties agree that a portion of the Merger Consideration paid pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be treated as interest pursuant to Section 483 of the Code. 3.3 Aggregate Consideration Spreadsheet. Three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Parent an updated draft of the Aggregate Consideration Spreadsheet. At the Closing, the Company and the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Parent the final Aggregate Consideration Spreadsheet setting forth the final calculation of the amounts for distribution in accordance with Section 3.2. 3.4 Stockholder Representative Reserve. At the Closing, Parent shall cause to be deposited, in an account designated by the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative Reserve. The Stockholder Representative Reserve (and earnings thereon) may be applied as the Stockholder Representative, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate to defray, 20 offset, or pay any charges, fees, costs, liabilities or expenses of the Stockholder Representative incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The balance of the Stockholder Representative Reserve held pursuant to this Section 3.4, if any, and any income earned thereon, shall be distributed to the Company Stockholders who are entitled to receive the Merger Consideration by depositing such amount with the Escrow Agent for distribution concurrently with, and as part of, any remaining Escrow Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative Reserve shall only be so distributed when the Stockholder Representative determines, in its sole discretion, that such distribution is appropriate. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall have no liability or responsibility to the Company Stockholders with respect to the Stockholder Representative Reserve or the actions and responsibilities of the Stockholder Representative contemplated by this Section 3.4. 3.5 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (the "SHARES") that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the "DISSENTING STOCKHOLDERS"), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration (the "DISSENTING SHARES"), but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such holder's Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Common Stock Merger Consideration for each such Share, in accordance with Section 3.1(c), without any interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders' rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any such demand for payment. 21 ARTICLE IV TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER --------------------------------- 4.1 Termination of Agreement.

In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 4.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than this Section 4.2 and Article XI, all of which shall survive 22 termination of this Agreement), provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or any willful breach hereof.

Until the Expiration Date (except as provided in Section 10.3(b)) and subject to the provisions of this Article X, the Escrow Fund shall be available as the exclusive remedy to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and their respective subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents and representatives (the "PARENT INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from and against any and all Losses (irrespective of whether or not such Losses arise out of or in connection with a third party claim) to the extent, but only to the extent, relating to, resulting from or arising out of: (a) any failure of the representations and warranties made by the Company set forth in this Agreement or in any Company Document to be true and correct; (b) any breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of the Company under this Agreement or any Company Document; (c) the termination of employment of Gideon Ben-Efraim ("BEN-EFRAIM") as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, the breach by Ben-Efraim or any of his successors or assigns or, prior to the Effective Time, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, of any agreement relating to the employment of Ben-Efraim (including, without limitation, the Go Networks, Inc. At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement, the Go Networks, Inc. Executive Employment and Change of Control Agreement dated as of November 1, 2003 and the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 22, 2004), the employment of Ben-Efraim or any action taken by Ben-Efraim while employed by the Company; or 62 (d) any Tax Losses. such foregoing Losses being referred to herein as "PARENT INDEMNIFIABLE LOSSES;" provided, however, that, (x) the Parent Indemnified Parties may not recover any amount for Parent Indemnifiable Losses arising from the inaccuracies of, or breaches of, the representations or warranties contained herein unless and until the aggregate amount of all Parent Indemnifiable Losses exceeds $100,000 (the "DEDUCTIBLE"), and only with respect to such amounts in excess of the Deductible and (y) subject to last sentence of Section 10.3(a), the sole recourse for Parent Indemnifiable Losses for which the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification shall be to the Escrow Fund. For purposes of calculating Losses hereunder, after a breach or failure by the Company referred to in Section 10.2(a) or (b) has been established, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be ignored for purposes of determining the amount of the Loss. 10.3 Escrow Arrangements. (a) Escrow Fund. The Escrow Amount shall be available to compensate the Parent Indemnified Parties for any claims by such parties for any Losses incurred or sustained by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article X. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Account shall be treated as owned by the Parent and not received by the Company Stockholders in accordance with United States Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8, and all parties hereto will file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment (unless otherwise required by Law) and that they will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Escrow Amount to be treated as an installment obligation for purposes of Section 453 of the Code. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following the Expiration Date, Parent shall offset any Losses relating to, resulting from or arising out of any of the matters described in Section 10.2(c) against the Milestone 1 or Milestone 2 Shares payable by Parent to the Company Stockholders under Section 3.1(c), thereby reducing the amount otherwise payable to the Company Stockholders by the amount of such Loss; provided, however, Parent shall not offset any Loss against any Milestone 1 or Milestone 2 Shares previously distributed to Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 3.2. (b) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Period. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence as of the Closing and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., local time, on the Expiration Date (the "ESCROW PERIOD") and will be distributed to the Company Stockholders; provided, however, that the Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to 100% of the amount of any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer's Certificate delivered in good faith to the Escrow Agent prior to the Expiration Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the Expiration Date (each, an "UNRESOLVED CLAIM"). As soon as all such claims have been resolved the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Paying Agent, on behalf of the applicable Company Stockholders, the remaining portion of the Escrow Amount, if any, not required to satisfy such Unresolved Claims. For the purposes hereof, "OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE" shall mean a certificate signed by any officer of Parent and delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representative: (1) stating that Parent has paid, incurred, sustained or accrued, or reasonably 63 anticipates that it will have to pay, incur, sustain or accrue Losses, (2) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, incurred, sustained or accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related, and (3) the amount of cash to be delivered to Parent in compensation for such Losses. (c) Claims for Indemnification. Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before the Expiration Date of an Officer's Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(d), deliver to Parent, as promptly as practicable, an amount of cash from the Escrow Fund equal to the amount of Losses set forth in such Officer's Certificate; provided, however, that to the extent an Officer's Certificate alleges only the basis for anticipated Losses, no amount shall be distributed until such Losses are actually paid, incurred or sustained. If the Stockholder Representative does not object in writing within the 30-day period set forth in Section 10.3(d) after delivery by Parent of the Officer's Certificate to the Stockholder Representative, such failure to so object shall constitute an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Company Stockholders that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Officer's Certificate; provided, however, that to the extent an Officer's Certificate alleges only the basis for anticipated Losses, no amount shall be distributed until such Losses are actually paid, incurred or substantiated (notwithstanding the Stockholder Representative's failure to object in writing). (d) Objections to Claims against the Escrow Fund. At the time of delivery of any Officer's Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered to the Stockholder Representative, and for a period of thirty (30) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Parent of any portion of the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 10.3(c) unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Stockholder Representative to make such delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, the Escrow Agent shall make payment pursuant to Section 10.3(c), provided that no such payment may be made if the Stockholder Representative shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer's Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period. (e) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration. (i) If the Stockholder Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer's Certificate to recover Losses from the Escrow Fund within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Officer's Certificate, then the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Stockholder Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any 64 such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof. (ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to sixty (60) days after delivery of an Officer's Certificate, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative. In the event that, within thirty (30) days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Stockholder Representative cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within fifteen (15) days after the end of such thirty (30)-day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. If one party but not the other fails to select an arbitrator during this fifteen (15)-day period, then the parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted by the one arbitrator selected by the party which has made such a selection. (iii) Any such arbitration shall be held in San Diego, California, under the rules and procedures then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys' fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer's Certificate shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s), and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with, the terms of such award, judgment, decree or order as applicable. Within ten (10) days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to another, such party shall make the payment to such other party. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to pay such amounts from the Stockholder Representative Reserve. 65 (iv) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The foregoing arbitration provision shall apply to any dispute between the Stockholder Representative and the Parent Indemnified Party under this Article X, whether relating to claims upon the Escrow Fund or to the other indemnification obligations set forth in this Article X. (f) Third-Party Claims. (i) In the event Parent becomes aware of a third-party claim which Parent reasonably believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund, Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative in writing of such claim. The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to elect to assume the defense of such claim unless (x) the Losses arising from such claim may reasonably be expected to exceed the Escrow Amount, (based solely on the damages alleged by the third party, if any damages are alleged) or (y) the claim seeks relief which would limit or otherwise adversely affect the conduct of business by the Company. Failure by the Stockholder Representative to notify Parent of its election to assume the defense of any such claim or litigation by a third party within ten (10) days after notice thereof has been given to the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed a waiver by the Stockholder Representative of its right to assume the defense of such claim or litigation, and the Parent shall have the right to retain its own counsel, without prejudice to its right of indemnification under this Agreement. All claims for legal fees and expenses or other Losses against the Escrow Fund for which Parent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.3(f) shall be subject to the claims processing and dispute procedures set forth in this Section 10.3. (ii) The Stockholder Representative, if he is entitled to and does assume the defense, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent to defend such claim and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel with regard thereto. If the Stockholder Representative elects to assume the defense, the obligations under Article X of this Agreement shall include taking all steps necessary in the investigation, defense or settlement of such claim or litigation (including the retention of legal counsel) and holding Parent harmless from and against any and all Losses caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Stockholder Representative or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation; provided, however, that (x) the Stockholder Representative shall first consult with Parent regarding such settlement, (y) no settlement may be made by the Stockholder Representative without the consent in writing of Parent, unless such settlement (i) releases Parent from any liability in respect thereof, (ii) does not include any admission of culpability on the part of Parent and (iii) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon Parent, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or otherwise impose affirmative or negative covenants on Parent, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries and (z) the Stockholder Representative shall not enter into any settlement with respect to Taxes without Parent's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Stockholder Representative elects to assume the defense, the Stockholder Representative shall permit Parent to participate in such defense or settlement through separate counsel chosen by Parent, with the fees and expenses of such separate counsel borne by Parent; provided, however, that in the event Parent shall 66 conclude (upon the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses or rights available to it which are different from, in actual conflict with, or additional to those available to the Stockholder Representative, Parent shall be entitled to select separate counsel to act on its behalf and the Stockholder Representative shall pay the reasonable separate counsel fees and other reasonable expenses related thereto and, such fees and expenses will be paid from the Escrow Fund. In the event that the Stockholder Representative has consented in writing to any settlement, the Company Stockholders shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article X to any claim for an amount less than or equal to the amount of such settlement by Parent against the Escrow Fund with respect to such settlement. (iii) Parent, if Parent is entitled to and does assume the defense, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholder Representative to defend such claim and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel with regard thereto. If Parent elects to assume the defense, the obligations under Article X of this Agreement shall include taking all steps necessary in the investigation, defense or settlement of such claim or litigation (including the retention of legal counsel) and holding the Stockholder Representative harmless from and against any and all Losses caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Parent or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation; provided, however, that Parent shall first consult with the Stockholder Representative regarding such settlement. If Parent elects to assume such third-party claim or litigation, Parent shall permit the Stockholder Representative to participate in such defense or settlement through separate counsel chosen by the Stockholder Representative, with the fees and expenses of such separate counsel borne by such the Stockholder Representative; provided, however, that in the event the Stockholder Representative shall conclude (upon the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses or rights available to it which are different from, in actual conflict with, or additional to those available to Parent, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to select separate counsel to act on its behalf and the Stockholder Representative shall pay the reasonable separate counsel fees and other reasonable expenses related thereto and, such fees and expenses will be paid from the Escrow Fund. In the event the Company becomes aware of a third-party claim for which the Company reasonably believes it may be indemnified by Parent pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, the Company shall notify Parent in writing of such claim and Parent shall assume the defense, including all costs and expenses associated therewith, of such claim. (g) The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any indemnification claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party's obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure. 10.4 Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided in the last sentence of Section 10.3(a) and this Section 10.4, from and after the Effective Time, resort to indemnification pursuant to this Article X and the Escrow Fund shall be the exclusive right and remedy of Parent Indemnified Parties for any Loss arising out of or related to any breach of this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except for claims for equitable relief and 67 claims with respect to fraud solely against the Person or Persons committing or alleged to have committed such fraud and subject to the last sentence of Section 10.3(a), recovery from the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnified Parties for any breach of any provision of this Agreement or any matter that is otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if the Merger contemplated hereby is consummated. 10.5 Tax Losses. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, "TAX LOSSES" means any and all Losses attributable to Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including the portion of any Straddle Period attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period); provided, however, Tax Losses shall not include any amounts clearly reflected as an accrual for current Taxes (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) on the Balance Sheet. (b) For purposes of allocating income, gain, deductions and losses attributable to the period up to and including the Effective Time for a Straddle Period, (i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes shall be allocated on a per diem basis, (ii) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, will be apportioned ratably between such periods on a per diem basis and (iii) other Taxes (including income taxes and taxes in lieu of income taxes to the extent not governed by clause (ii)), shall be allocated based on a closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, a closing of the books on the Closing Date for purposes of allocating income, gain, deductions and losses attributable to the Company). (c) For purposes of determining the failure of any representation or warranty in Section 5.10 to be true and correct, in calculating any Losses thereunder as a result thereof any materiality, Material Adverse Effect, Knowledge, or scheduled disclosure qualifier shall be disregarded. 10.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Company and Parent agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article X as an adjustment to the Common Stock Merger Consideration for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes unless a contrary treatment is required under applicable Law. ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS ------------- 11.1 Stockholder Representative. (a) Upon the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company Stockholders and 68 without further act of any Company Stockholder, Nechemia J. Peres (the "STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE") shall be appointed as the Stockholder Representative hereunder to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Parent Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims and Losses by a Parent Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims or Losses, to receive payments on behalf of the Company Stockholders due and owing pursuant to this Agreement and acknowledge receipt thereof, to waive any breach or default of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement following the Effective Time, to calculate the Aggregate Consideration Spreadsheet, to receive service of process on behalf of the Company Stockholders in connection with any claims under this Agreement or any related document or instrument, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however that such agency shall apply only to matters affecting all or most of the Company Stockholders and any matter that affects only an individual Company Stockholder shall be addressed by Parent and such Company Stockholder. Such agency may be changed by the Company Stockholders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a two-thirds interest of the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. A vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative, and the Stockholder Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Company Stockholders. (b) Except for intentional fraud, the Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative. Pursuant to the following sentence, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company Stockholders shall be, severally based on such Company Stockholder's Pro Rata Portion of the Common Stock Merger Consideration and not jointly, obligated to indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative's duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Stockholder Representative. At the time of distribution pursuant to Section 10.3(c) to the Company Stockholders of any proceeds remaining in the Escrow Fund, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such income and gains included in such distribution to pay and reimburse fees and expenses of third parties incurred or expected to be incurred in connection with its role as Stockholder Representative pursuant to this 69 Agreement to the extent that the Stockholder Representative Reserve would be insufficient to pay and reimburse fees and expenses of third parties. (c) The grant of authority provided for in this Section 11.1 (i) is coupled with an interest and is being granted, in part, as an inducement to Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of the Company or any Company Stockholder shall be binding on any successor thereto and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Company Stockholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Fund. (d) In connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right at any time and from time to time to select and engage, at the cost and expense of the Company Stockholders (as contemplated by Section 11.1(b), attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, advisors, consultants and clerical personnel and obtain such other professional and expert assistance, and maintain such records, as the Stockholder Representative may deem necessary or desirable and incur other out-of-pocket expenses related to performing its services hereunder. (e) In dealing with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any instruments, agreements or documents relating thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Stockholder Representative hereunder or thereunder, (i) the Stockholder Representative and its agents, counsel, accountants and other representatives shall not assume any, and shall incur no, responsibility whatsoever (in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law) to the Company Stockholders, Parent or the Surviving Corporation by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any such other agreement, instrument or document other than with respect to intentional fraud of the Stockholder Representative, and (ii) the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Stockholder Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Stockholder Representative to liability to the Company Stockholders, Parent or the Surviving Corporation. (f) All of the immunities and powers granted to the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. (g) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative, including an extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Article IV or Section 11.6, as applicable, shall constitute a decision of the Company Stockholders and holders of Company Stock Options and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Stockholders; and the Escrow Agent, 70 Parent and the Surviving Corporation may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Company Stockholders. The Escrow Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative. (h) The Stockholder Representative has all requisite power, authority and legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other agreement, document, or instrument or certificate contemplated by this Agreement or to be executed by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (together with this Agreement, the "STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE DOCUMENTS"), and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the Stockholder Representative Documents, the performance of its respective obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all required action on the part of the Stockholder Representative. This Agreement has been, and each of the Stockholder Representative Documents will be at or prior to the Closing, duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder Representative and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto) this Agreement constitutes, and each of the Stockholder Representative Documents when so executed and delivered will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Stockholder Representative enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). 11.2 Specific Performance. The Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that the breach of this Agreement by the other party would cause irreparable damage to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and that Parent or the Company, as the case may be, will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of the Company and the obligations of Parent under this Agreement shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise. 71 11.3 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Except for matters governed by Section 10.3(f), the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Delaware over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7. 11.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such state; provided, however, that the Merger shall be governed by the DGCL. 11.5 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement and (b) except for the provisions of Sections 8.7, and Article X, are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies. 11.6 Amendment and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or changed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the Company Stockholders without such approval having been obtained. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any agreement on the part of a party to any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to 72 Section 4.1 or an amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall, in order to be effective, require, in the case of Parent or the Company, action by its Board of Directors. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. 11.7 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission) or (iii) one business day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision): If to the Company, to With a copy to: Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP 11682 El Camino Real, Suite 100 San Diego, California 92130 Facsimile: (877) 880-0683 Attention: Ilan Lovinsky If to the Stockholder Representative, to: Nechemia J.
