maintaining or servicing in (x) or (y) any product or service that,
directly or indirectly, is competitive with the products and services currently offered by,
or currently anticipated to be offered in the future by, the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) Antisolicitation.

(i) Each of the Stockholders agrees that for the Restrictive Term such
Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, without the consent of Buyer, solicit
for hire or hire, or solicit for hire or hire on behalf of any third party, any
individual who is or has been a management employee of the Company or any of
its present or future Subsidiaries, including any of the individuals set forth on
Schedule 5.7 (each, a "Management Employee"), unless and until such
Management Employee has not been an employee of any of the Parent, the

(ii) Each of the Stockholders agrees that for the Restrictive Term such
Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, without the consent of Buyer, solicit

individual who is or has been an employee (other than a Management Employee)
of the Company or any of its present or future Subsidiaries ("Non-Management
Employee") unless and until such Non-Management Employee has not been an
employee of any of the Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries for
at least six (6) months.

Stockholders from (i) owning a less than 5% interest in any publicly traded company that

Parties or any of their present or future Subsidiaries (including the Company and its
Subsidiaries).

(d) Separate Covenants. The Noncompetition Covenants will be construed to


be divided into separate and distinct Noncompetition Covenants with respect to (i) each
jurisdiction of the territory covered by the Noncompetition Covenants and (ii) each
matter or type of conduct described therein. Each such divided Noncompetition
Covenant will be separate and distinct from all such other Noncompetition Covenants
with respect to the same or any aspect of the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

(e) Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of the


Stockholders set forth in this Section 5.7 shall be construed as independent of any other
agreement or arrangement (other than this Agreement) between any Stockholder, on the

the promises and restrictive covenants that such Stockholder is providing in this

(including the Company's goodwill). Each Stockholder acknowledges that, in connection
with the consummation of the Transaction, all of such Stockholder's Capital Stock in the
Company will be purchased by Buyer. Each Stockholder further acknowledges that such
Stockholder sold all of such Stockholder's Capital Stock in the Company in connection
with the Transaction and that goodwill was a material consideration in Buyer's decision
to enter into the Transaction. Each Stockholder acknowledges that if such Stockholder
were to engage in a Competitive Activity subsequent to the consummation of the
Transaction, such competition could materially and adversely affect the value of the
business acquired by Buyer in the Transaction (including the Company's goodwill).

(g) Judicial Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this


Section 5.7, if at any time a court of competent jurisdiction holds that any portion of any
Noncompetition Covenant is unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great of a
period of time or over too great of a geographical area or by reason of its being too
extensive in any other respect, such Noncompetition Covenant will be interpreted to
extend only over the maximum period of time, maximum geographical area, or maximum
extent in all other respects, as the case may be, as to which it may be enforceable all as
determined by such court in such action.

(h) Specific Performance. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that in the event of
any breach or Threatened breach by such Stockholder of any covenant, obligation or

Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries. After the Closing, except as expressly
required by Section 5.10(a), nothing contained in this Agreement shall interfere with the
Buyer Parties' rights to amend, modify or terminate any Plan or any employee benefit

that such Buyer Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a
result of or in connection with any of the following:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of such Stockholder set forth

(f) the amount, if any, by which (A) the actual Company Transaction
Expenses exceed the amount set forth in the Pre-Closing Certificate, (B) the actual
Company Compensation Payments exceed the amount set forth in the Pre-Closing
Certificate and (C) the actual Section 1374 Tax Amount exceeds the amount set forth in
the Pre-Closing Certificate (only to the extent that such excess has not otherwise been

(g) (i) all liability for Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary for the Pre-
Closing Tax Period (other than the Section 1374 Tax Amount), (ii) all liability (as a result
of Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of Law) for Taxes of any corporation

become subject to, as a result of or in connection with:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.2;

63
099999-0968·02806-PaloAlto.2110456.1
(b) any breach by the Buyer Parties of any covenant, agreement or obligation
of the Buyer Parties in this Agreement; and

(c) the amount, if any, by which (A) the actual Company Transaction
Expenses are less than the amount set forth in the Pre-Closing Certificate and (B) the
actual Section 1374 Tax Amount is less than the amount set forth in the Pre-Closing
Certificate.

8.4 Escrow Account Offset.

(a) In the event that any Buyer Indemnified Party wishes to make any
indemnification claim under Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.2(d) (other than
with respect to any claim (i) for breach of a Carve-Out Representation or (ii) of fraud) or,
to the extent provided by Section 8.6(a), any other indemnification claim under Section
8.2, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall first provide written notice of such claim (an
"Indemnification Notice") to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representative. Any
such notice shall, to the extent practicable, set forth the basis for the claim and, to the
extent known, the amount or a reasonable estimate of the claim. Thereafter, the
Stockholder Representative shall have ten (10) Business Days following such party's
receipt of the Indemnification Notice in which to deliver notice of objection to such claim
to the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Escrow Agent. If no objection notice is given,
then the claim in the amount alleged by the Buyer Indemnified Party in the
Indemnification Notice shall be deemed to be valid and indemnifiable pursuant hereto.
No offset shall be permitted if the relevant claim is timely disputed as set forth above,
unless and until its validity is finally resolved pursuant to Section 8.4(c). In the event that
the Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to offset as a result of the final resolution of the
validity of such claim, such Buyer Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative
shall provide joint written notice (the "Resolved Claim Notice") of such offset to the
Escrow Agent. If the Stockholder Representative has not so provided the Resolved
Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the demand of the
Buyer Indemnified Party in writing to the Stockholder Representative, then the Buyer
Indemnified Party will be permitted to unilaterally deliver a Resolved Claim Notice (a
"Unilateral Resolved Claim Notice") to the Escrow Agent so long as the Buyer
Indemnified Party provides written notice of the delivery to the Escrow Agent of such
Unilateral Resolved Claim Notice to the Stockholder Representative within five (5) days
thereafter. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Resolved Claim Notice or,
in the case of a Unilateral Resolved Claim Notice, within ten (10) Business Days, but not
less than five (5) Business Days, after receipt thereof, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to
such Buyer Indemnified Party Holdback Consideration equal to the offset set forth in the
Resolved Claim Notice or the Unilateral Resolved Claim Notice; provided, however, that
the Escrow Agent shall not make such delivery in respect of a Unilateral Resolved Claim
Notice if the Stockholder Representative has prior to the date of such delivery provided
notice to the Escrow Agent and the Buyer Indemnified Party of a written objection
asserting that the Unilateral Resolved Claim Notice was improperly given.

(b) In the event the Buyer and the Stockholder Representative shall have
instructed the Escrow Agent to deliver any Holdback Consideration to a Buyer

64
099999-0968-02806-PaloAlto.2110456.1
Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.4(a), such Holdback Consideration shall be
allocated by the Escrow Agent among the Shareholders pursuant to their respective
Sharing Percentages with respect to the claim set forth in the applicable Indemnification
Notice.

(c) In case the Stockholder Representative shall object in writing to any claim
or claims by the Buyer Indemnified Party made in any Indemnification Notice as
provided in Section 8.4(a), the Stockholder Representative and the Buyer Indemnified
Party shall attempt in good faith for ten (10) Business Days to agree upon the rights of
the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Stockholder
Representative and the Buyer Indemnified Party should so agree, the claims set forth in
such Indemnification Notice shall be modified as necessary to reflect such agreement,
and such claims shall be deemed finally resolved. Ifno such agreement can be reached
by the end of such ten (10) Business Day period after good faith negotiation, either the
Buyer Indemnified Party or the Stockholder Representative may, by written notice to the
other, demand arbitration of the matter pursuant to Section 9.16 unless the amount of the
damage or 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.

8.5 Third Party Claim Procedures. Except as set forth in Section 5.6 of this
Agreement, in order for any Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for
under Sections 8.2 or Section 8.3 hereof in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made
by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a "Third-Party Claim"), such Indemnified Party
must notify the Party or Parties liable for such indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") in
writing of the Third-Party Claim promptly following receipt by such Indemnified Party of
written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification
shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying
Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon receipt of a
written notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to promptly
assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such right
shall be conditioned upon the Indemnified Party receiving written notice of such assumption by
the Indemnifying Party within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim
from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party timely assumes the defense and control of
such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be allowed a reasonable opportunity to
participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense;
provided, however that the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of
such separate counsel for the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party shall not have
employed counsel (other than counsel that is reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party)
within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the institution ofa Third
Party Claim in compliance with this Section 8.5. If the Indemnifying Party shall elect to assume
the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel, contractors
and consultants of recognized standing that are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party
and shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. The
Stockholder Representative or the Buyer Parties, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each
of its controlled Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in
the defense of any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may not consent to a settlement

65
099999-0968-02806-PaloAlto.2110456.1
of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the prior written
consent of any Indemnified Party, provided that such consent will not be unreasonably withheld
if (i) the settlement does not involve any admission of Liability or wrongdoing on the part of any
Indemnified Party, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall (1) payor cause to be paid all amounts
arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement,
(2) not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or
condition that would apply to any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party's
business and (3) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release
of any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense of any Third Party
Claim against such Indemnified Party in the event the potential Damages with respect to such
Third Party Claim, when aggregated with all other satisfied or pending Damages subject to
indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 exceed the limits set forth in Section 8.6, in the case of
any Buyer Indemnified Party.

8.6 Limitations on Indemnification Liability. Any claims of any Indemnified Party


made under this Article 8 will be limited as follows:

(a) Limitation to Holdback. Except with respect to any claim (i) for breach of
a Carve-Out Representation, (ii) of fraud or (iii) with respect to the circumstances set
forth in the last sentence of this Section 8.6(a), offset against the Holdback Consideration
deposited in the Escrow Account shall be the exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified
Parties for any Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.2(d) (a
"Holdback Claim"). In the event of a claim with respect to any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)
in the immediately preceding sentence or a claim pursuant to any of Section 8.2(b),
Section 8.2(e), Section 8.2m or Section 8.2(g) (a "Non-Holdback Claim"), a Buyer
Indemnified Party may seek any remedy available at Law or equity with respect to such
Non-Holdback Claim other than an offset against the Holdback Consideration deposited
in the Escrow Account except to the extent set forth in the following provisos to this
sentence (an "Alternative Remedy"); provided, that (1) such Buyer Indemnified Party
cannot seek an Alternative Remedy and shall be limited to a remedy consisting of an
offset against the Holdback Consideration deposited in the Escrow Account unless the
Damages sought by such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to such Non-Holdback
Claim exceeds the amount of the Holdback Consideration remaining in the Escrow
Account (net of any amounts subject to unresolved (x) Indemnification Notices, (y)
Resolved Claim Notices and (z) Unilateral Resolved Claim Notices) at the time of such
Non-Holdback Claim (the "Available Holdback Consideration"), (2) Buyer Indemnified
Party may only seek an Alternative Remedy for the amount that the Damages sought by
such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to such Non-Holdback Claim exceeds the
Available Holdback Consideration and (3) with respect to such Non-Holdback Claim,
such Buyer Indemnified Party may seek an offset against the Holdback Consideration
deposited in the Escrow Account with respect to any Stockholder that fails to comply
with any final and non-appealable judgment or decision of any court or arbitral body with
respect to an Alternative Remedy regarding such Non-Holdback Claim. If (1) one or
more offsets are made against the Holdback Consideration deposited in the Escrow
Account pursuant to one or more Non-Holdback Claims pursuant to the immediately
foregoing sentence, (II) after such offsets for Non-Holdback Claims one or more

66
099999-0968-02806-PaloAIto.2110456.1
Holdback Claims are made and (III) after giving effect to such offsets for Non-Holdback
Claims, the amount of such Holdback Consideration remaining available for satisfaction
of such Holdback Claims is less than the amount of such Holdback Claims, then a Buyer
Indemnified Party may seek an Alternative Remedy for such Holdback Claims for an
aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such Holdback Claims that does not
exceed the amount of the Holdback Consideration previously delivered to the Buyer
Indemnified Parties as offsets with respect to Non-Holdback Claims.

(b) Threshold. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the


Stockholders shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Buyer
Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Buyer Indemnified Party for, any Damages
pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) or 8.2(c) or Section 8.2(d) until the aggregate Damages of the
Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $ (the "Threshold"), in which event the
Stockholders shall be liable for all Damages of the Buyer Indemnified Parties including
all amounts below the Threshold; provided, however, that the limitations contemplated
by this Section 8.6(b) will not be applicable with respect to any claim (i) for breach of a
Carve-Out Representation or (ii) of fraud.

(c) Reduction for Insurance Claims. The amount of Damages required to be


paid for Damages will be reduced to the extent of any amounts an Indemnified Party
actually receives (net of (x) any costs of recovery and (y) any increases in premiums that
are reasonably determinable and proximately resulting from such claims) pursuant to the
terms of the insurance policies (if any) covering such indemnification claim. To the
extent any Damages may be recoverable pursuant to the terms of any insurance policy
covering an indemnification claim, Parent shall be obligated to pursue such recovery in
good faith. If any Buyer Indemnified Party receives any recovery pursuant to the terms
of any insurance policy covering an indemnification claim where such Buyer Indemnified
Party has previously received an indemnification payment pursuant to this Article 8
(whether as an offset from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 8.4 or otherwise),
such Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) if such recovery is made before the
Initial Holdback Release Date, deposit such amount into the Escrow Account and (ii) if
such recovery is made after the Initial Holdback Release Date, pay the amount of such
recovery to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, in each case
the amount shall be net of the amounts identified in the first sentence of this Section
8.6(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Parent and each of its
Subsidiaries after the Closing shall be permitted to amend, modify, replace or terminate
any insurance policy in its sole discretion.

(d) Exclusion of Certain Types of Damages. The amount of Damages


required to be paid will be reduced (or, if a Buyer Indemnified Party has previously
received an indemnification payment pursuant to this Article 8 with respect to such
Damages (whether as an offset from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 8.4 or
otherwise), reimbursed to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders)
by (i) other than with respect to Taxes, any reserves or accruals expressly set forth in the
Company Financial Statements and (ii) any payments that the Buyer Indemnified Party
actually receives from an unrelated party in respect off a claim for Damages. All
indemnification obligations will be limited to actual Damages that are a reasonably

67
099999-0968-02806-PaloAlto.2110456.1
foreseeable consequence of the condition or event giving rise to a claim for
indemnification and will exclude (x) punitive Damages (except to the extent such types
of Damages constitute Damages payable to a third party as a result of a Third Party
Claim) and (y) Damages calculated solely on the basis of a multiple of historical financial
results of the Company (such as EBITDA and Net Income) where such calculation does
not reasonably reflect lost profits or diminution in value of the Company and where
reimbursement of, or compensation for, out-of-pockets expenses or costs provides a
remedy to the Buyer Indemnified Parties.

(e) Limitation of Liability. Subject to Section 8.6(a), in the event of claim for
(i) breach of a Carve-Out Representation, (ii) fraud, or (iii) any Damages pursuant to
Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(e), Section 8.2(f) or Section 8.2(g), an Indemnified Party shall
have all remedies available at law or in equity with respect to such breach; provided,
however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no
event shall any Stockholder have any liability in excess of the Consideration and any
Contingent Payment received by such Stockholder.

(f) Joint and Several Obligations. The indemnification obligations of


_ _ _ and pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be joint and several, and the
indemnification obligations of and pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be
joint and several. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the
indemnification obligations of each of the Stockholders pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be
several and not joint.

8.7 Other Indemnification Provisions.

(a) Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be
expected to give rise thereto.

(b) Excluding (i) where the Buyer Parties are entitled to injunctive relief
against any of the Stockholders and (ii) breach of Section 5.7, if the Closing occurs the
indemnification provisions in this Article 8 will be the exclusive remedy with respect to
the breach of this Agreement.

(c) Solely for purposes of determining the amount of any Damages arising out
of, relating to or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty, the
representations and warranties in this Agreement shall be considered without giving
effect to any limitation or qualifications as to "materiality," "Material Adverse Effect" or
any other derivation of the word "material."

(d) To the extent permitted by Law, any indemnification payment made


hereunder will be treated as an adjustment to the Consideration.

Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have
independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant
contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or
covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity)

breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

9.15 Incorporation of Exhibits, Schedules and Disclosure Letters. The Exhibits,


Schedules, Disclosure Letters and other attachments identified in this Agreement are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

9.16 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim (each a "Dispute" and
collectively, the "Disputes") arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement,
including any Dispute regarding its validity or termination, or the performance or breach thereof
under this Agreement and disputed claims in escrow shall be settled exclusively and finally by a
panel of three arbitrators selected by the mutual agreement of the parties to such Dispute in an
arbitration proceeding administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS")
under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of such
proceeding, and judgment on the award rendered by such arbitrators may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. If the parties to any such Dispute are unable to select such arbitrators
within fifteen (15) days of the first notice given by any party to such Dispute to the other party or
parties to such Dispute requesting arbitration and the selection of such arbitrators, any party to
such Dispute may request that JAMS select such arbitrators, which selection shall be binding on
the parties to such Dispute. If (i) two or more Disputes arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement are simultaneously pending, (ii) the subject matters of such Disputes involve
common questions of law or fact and (iii) the independent resolution of each such Dispute could
result in conflicting decisions or obligations, such Disputes may be consolidated in a single
proceeding. If more than one arbitration proceeding involving any such Disputes are pending,
such proceedings shall, at the request of any party to such Dispute, be consolidated and settled in
a single arbitration proceeding; provided that the determination of whether such Disputes shall
be consolidated shall be determined by the first panel of three arbitrators established to settle any
such Dispute. If such Disputes are consolidated and more than one panel of three arbitrators has

72
099999-0968-02806-PaloAlto.21 10456. 1
been established to settle any of such Disputes, the parties to such Dispute shall, within twenty
(20) days of such consolidation, select one panel of three arbitrators so established to settle the
single consolidated arbitration proceeding. Unless the parties to such Dispute otherwise agree to
conduct any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.16 elsewhere, such proceeding
shall be conducted and any decision shall be rendered in Wilmington, Delaware, at a venue to be
selected by mutual agreement of the parties to such Dispute. Expenses and costs associated with
the submission of any Dispute to arbitration shall be the responsibility of the party against whom
a final decision is rendered with respect to that Dispute (provided that in the case of multiple
Disputes that are consolidated into a single proceeding, the costs of such proceeding shall be
borne on a Dispute-by-Dispute basis by the party against whom a final decision is rendered with
respect to each particular Dispute). The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and
binding on the parties to the Dispute; provided, however, that (i) by agreeing to arbitration, the
parties do not intend to deprive any court with jurisdiction of its ability to issue a preliminary
injunction, attachment or other form of provisional remedy in aid of the arbitration and a request
for such provisional remedies by a party to a court shall not be deemed a waiver of this
agreement to arbitrate, and (ii) in addition to the authority conferred upon the panel of three
arbitrators by the rules specified above, the panel of three arbitrators shall also have the authority
to grant provisional remedies, including injunctive relief. Except as required by law, or as
ordered by the arbitrator as part of a final judgment on merits of the Dispute(s), neither any party
nor the arbitrators may disclose the existence, content or results of an arbitration brought
pursuant to this Agreement (other than to the Parties and their representatives, counsel, advisers
and Affiliates on a confidential basis). In addition to the provisions for the exchange of
information set forth in the JAMS Rules, the Disputing Parties shall have the right to serve, and
