(b) Treatment of Merger Sub Stock.  By virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company or Merger Sub, each share of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall be one (1) share of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.  Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub stock will evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
 
(c) Delivery of Closing Merger Consideration.  The Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock (other than the portion of the Parent Holdback Amount with respect to such share) shall be delivered promptly after the Effective Time, immediately following the surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Capital Stock or an indemnification agreement with respect thereto in accordance with Section 1.9.  Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Parent a schedule, certified by the chief executive officer of the Company, setting forth each holder of such shares of Company Capital Stock and the amounts and classes of securities held by each, the Pro Rata Portion of Parent Holdback Amount and the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to such holder, the names of each holder in which such shares are to be issued and cash paid and a mailing address where delivery of such shares and cash may be made to each such holder (the “Allocation Spreadsheet”).  For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate amount to be paid by Parent to all of the holders of Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 1.5 and to all of the holders of Company Options pursuant to Section 1.6 (including, without limitation, upon exercise of any replacement options issued to any employees of the Company after the Effective Time or upon release of the Parent Holdback Amount) exceed (i) the Aggregate Cash Consideration and (ii) 48,265,731 shares of Parent Common Stock.
 
1.6 Treatment of Company Options.
 
(a) Assumption of Company Options.  At the Effective Time, each Company Option (or portion thereof) that is unexpired, unexercised, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to any vesting or termination that is contingent upon the completion of the Merger and to any exercises of Company Options prior to the Effective Time) (an “Outstanding Option”) and that is held by a Continuing Employee shall be converted into and become an option to purchase Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume such Company Option, subject to the remainder of this Section 1.6(a), in accordance with the same terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the Company Option Plan and the same terms of the stock option agreement by which such Company Option is evidenced, except as such terms may be modified (all Outstanding Options that are assumed pursuant to this Section 1.6(a) are hereafter referred to as “Assumed Options”).  All rights to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under Assumed Options shall thereupon be converted into rights to purchase Parent Common Stock.  Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (A) each Assumed Option may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting number to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (C) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Assumed Option shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest one hundredth of a cent; and (D) any restriction on the exercise of any Assumed Option shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Assumed Option shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the assumption or replacement of such Assumed Option; provided, however, that: (1) each Assumed Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further proportionate adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, issuance of bonus shares, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time; and (2) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option. From and after the Effective Time, holders of Outstanding Options shall have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.6(a).
 
 
5

 
 
(b) Optionholder Bonuses.  Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay to the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash equal to (i) the Common and Option Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock that was subject to a Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Within two (2) business days of receipt by the Surviving Corporation of such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall pay, to the holder of each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the Common and Option Per Share Cash Consideration with respect to each share of Company Common Stock that was subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, it being understood that (x) such payment shall be made notwithstanding that such holder is a Non-Continuing Employee (as defined below) and (y) if such holder is a Continuing Employee, the Surviving Corporation shall make such payment through payroll.
 
(c) Termination of Certain Options.  Parent shall not assume any Company Options (or substitute any Company Options with an equivalent option or other right) held by any Person who at the Effective Time is not a Continuing Employee (each, a “Non-Continuing Employee”). Each Outstanding Option held by a Non-Continuing Employee shall be cancelled and terminated at the Effective Time.  From and after the Effective Time, Non-Continuing Employees who hold Outstanding Options have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.6(b).
 
(d) Form S-8.  Parent shall file with the SEC (no later than 20 Business Days after the Closing) a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form), if available for use by Parent, relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to Assumed Options that are eligible for registration on Form S-8.  Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to keep such registration statement effective.  Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
 
1.7 Payment of Transaction Expenses.  Contemporaneously with the Closing, the Company shall pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred by it relating to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses payable to the Company’s legal and financial advisors (the “Transaction Expenses).  The payment of such Transaction Expenses shall not reduce, set off or otherwise affect the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock or any portion of the Aggregate Common and Option Bonus Cash Consideration.
 
 
6

 
 
1.8 Dissenting Shares.
 
(a) Effect on Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected such demand for appraisal of such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost such holder’s right to such appraisal (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the applicable Merger Consideration, but shall be canceled and shall cease to exist and shall represent the right only to receive such rights as are granted by the DGCL.  Parent shall be entitled to retain any Merger Consideration not paid on account of such Dissenting Shares pending resolution of the claims of such holders, and the Eligible Stockholders shall not be entitled to any portion thereof.
 
(b) Loss of Dissenting Share Status. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.8(a), if any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who demands appraisal of such holder’s shares under the DGCL shall effectively withdraw or lose (through the failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to appraisal, then as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, as and when payable pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect the current level and scope of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as in effect at the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time covering those persons who are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that if the aggregate annual premiums for such insurance at any time during such period exceed 200% of the per annum rate of premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance on the date hereof, then Parent will provide the maximum coverage that will then be available at an annual premium equal to 200% of such rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.2(b) by procuring an equivalent six (6) year “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, the equivalent annual premium for which “tail” policy shall not exceed 200% of the per annum rate of premium currently paid by the Company for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance; provided that if the equivalent annual premium for such “tail” policy exceeds 200% of the per annum rate of premium currently paid by the Company for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, then Parent will provide the maximum coverage that will then be available at an equivalent annual premium equal to 200% of such rate and in doing so will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations pursuant to this Section 4.2(b).
 
(c) The provisions of this Section 4.2 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Persons to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.2, and his or her heirs and Representatives.  The provisions in this Section 4.2 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and/or agents of the Company by Legal Requirements, charters, bylaws or agreements.

4.3 Parent’s Board of Directors and Officers.
 
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the size of the Parent Board shall be fixed at eleven (11) directors, such that, as of the Effective Time, at least four (4) vacancies will exist on the Parent Board.  Effective immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the individuals named on Exhibit D under the heading “Company Nominees” (the “Company Nominees”) to be appointed to the Parent Board.

69

 
 
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling former stockholder of the Company, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls Parent within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for Parent, any underwriter, any other former stockholder of the Company selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other former stockholder of the Company, against any Damages to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such former stockholder of the Company expressly for use in connection with such registration; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.18(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Damages if such settlement is effected without the consent of the former stockholder of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 4.18(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such former stockholder of the Company.
 
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.18 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4.18, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action or proceeding, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4.18 to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.18.
 
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.18 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Damages referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that (i) no contribution by any former stockholder of the Company, when combined with any amounts paid by such former stockholder of the Company pursuant to Section 4.18(b), shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such former stockholder of the Company and (ii) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a former stockholder of the Company’s liability pursuant to this Section 4.18(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such former stockholder of the Company pursuant to Section 4.18(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such former stockholder of the Company (net of any expenses paid by such former stockholder of the Company).  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
 
70

 
 
4.19 Certain Bonus Payments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company in its sole discretion may pay, from its available cash reserves, cash bonuses to any of its employees, officers, directors or consultants, not to exceed $450,000 in the aggregate.  For the avoidance of doubt, such bonuses shall be in addition to, and shall not reduce or set off, (x) any portion of the Aggregate Common and Option Bonus Cash Consideration or (y) any ordinary course compensation otherwise payable to such persons.

(c) Damage to Parent.  The parties acknowledge and agree that, if the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as a Parent Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of equity interest in the Surviving Corporation, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach (it being, understood, however, that the Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover more than once for the same Damages).
 
(d) Calculation of Damages; Insurance Proceeds and Tax Benefits.  For the purposes of calculating Damages indemnifiable under this Section 5.2, Damages (i) shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Damages constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreements and (ii) shall be reduced by the amount of Tax Benefits attributable to such Damages.  The Stockholder Indemnitors shall not be liable under this Article 5 for any Damages relating to any matter to the extent that there is included a specific Liability or reserve relating to such matter in the Unaudited Interim Balance Sheet; provided, that the Stockholder Indemnitors shall be liable for any Damages in excess of the amount stated in the Unaudited Interim Balance Sheet. Parent shall not be liable under this Article 5 for any Damages relating to any matter to the extent that there is a specific Liability or reserve relating to such matter included in the Parent Financial Statements.  The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 under applicable insurance policies covering such Damages or from such other Person alleged to have responsibility therefor, if any, and the amount of any Damages payable under this Article 5 by an Indemnitor shall be reduced by any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnitee under such insurance policies or from such other Person alleged to be responsible.  If an Indemnitee receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, subsequent to an indemnification payment hereunder, then such Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitors for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnitor in connection with providing such indemnification payment in the amount received by the Indemnitee, net of any expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in collecting such amount.  If the Indemnitee receives any payment from an Indemnitor in respect of any Damages and the Indemnitee could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall assign such of its rights to proceed against such third party as are necessary to permit the Stockholders’ Agent, if the Indemnitee is a Parent Indemnitee, or Parent, if the Indemnitee is a Stockholder Indemnitee, to recover from such third party the amount of such indemnification payment.
 
 
73

 
 
(e) Duty to Mitigate.  Each Indemnitee shall take all action required by applicable Laws, and shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts, to mitigate any and all Damages for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, including enforcing any and all other rights or remedies which may be available to such Indemnitee against third parties (including insurance providers), promptly upon becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages; and no Damages may be recovered pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof to the extent that recovery may reasonably practicably be made from such third parties following the expenditure by an Indemnitee of commercially reasonable efforts.
 
5.3 Limitations.
 
(a) Deductible.  Subject to Section 5.3(b), (i) the Stockholder Indemnitors shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i) (solely to the extent directly related to any of the matters referred to in Section 5.2(a)(i)) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Parent Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Parent Indemnitees has or have otherwise directly or indirectly become subject, exceeds $500,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) Parent shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(i) (solely to the extent directly related to any of the matters referred to in Section 5.2(b)(i)), for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Stockholder Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Stockholder Indemnitees has or have otherwise directly become subject, exceeds $500,000 in the aggregate. If the total amount of the Damages referenced in clause (i) or (ii) above exceeds $500,000 in the aggregate, then the Stockholder Indemnitees or Parent Indemnitees, as applicable, shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed only for the amount of such Damages in excess of $500,000.  Any claim for which an Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 involving Damages of less than $25,000 shall be disregarded for all purposes of Article 5, including for the calculation of any deductible.
 
(b) Applicability of Deductible.  The limitations set forth in Section 5.3(a) shall not apply: (i) in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud; or (ii) to the matters referred to in Section 5.2(a)(ii), Section 5.2(a)(iii) or Section 5.2(b)(ii).
 
(c) Parent Cap.  Except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the total amount of indemnification payments that Parent can be required to make to the Stockholder Indemnitees pursuant to this Article 5 shall be $15,000,000 (the “Parent Cap”).  All payments made to satisfy any indemnification obligations to the Stockholder Indemnities pursuant to this Article 5 shall be paid in cash.
 
(d) Stockholder Cap and Other Limitations.  Except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the total amount of indemnification payments that the Stockholder Indemnitors can be required to make to the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to this Article 5 shall be limited to the Parent Holdback Amount.  The aggregate maximum Liability of any Stockholder Indemnitor for any and all Damages shall be limited to such Stockholder Indemnitor’s Pro Rata Portion of the Parent Holdback Amount.
 
 
74

 
 
5.4 No Contribution.  Each Stockholder Indemnitor waives, and acknowledges and agrees that he shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Merger Sub or the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which he may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered to Parent in connection with this Agreement.
 
5.5 Claims Procedures.  Any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 5 shall be brought and resolved exclusively as follows:
 
(a) If any Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered Damages for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Article 5 (a “Claim”) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Expiration Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Article 5, such Indemnitee may deliver a claim notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Stockholders’ Agent, in the case of a Parent Indemnitee, or to the Parent, in the case of a Stockholder Indemnitee (such recipient being, the “Claim Notice Recipient”), promptly (and in no event later than 15 days) after such Indemnitee becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under Section 5.2.  The failure of any Indemnitee to timely give notice hereunder shall not affect the rights to indemnification hereunder except and only to the extent of actual, material damage to the Stockholder Indemnitors or Parent Indemnitor, as applicable.  Each Claim Notice shall: (i) state that the Indemnitee believes in good faith that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Article 5; (ii) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnitee’s claim; and (iii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Indemnitee claims to be entitled (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by the Indemnitee in good faith from time to time, being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”).  Following the delivery of a Claim Notice by a Parent Indemnitee, the Stockholders’ Agent and its representatives and agents shall be given all such access (including electronic access, to the extent available) as they may reasonably require to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation and access to such personnel or representatives of the Surviving Corporation and Parent, including but not limited to the individuals responsible for the matters that are subject of the Claim Notice, as they may reasonably require for the purposes of investigating or resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the Claim Notice.
 
(b) During the thirty (30)-day period commencing upon receipt by the Claim Notice Recipient of a Claim Notice from an Indemnitee (the “Dispute Period”), the Claim Notice Recipient may deliver to the Indemnitee who delivered the Claim Notice a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Claim Notice Recipient: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is due and payable to the Indemnitee; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is due and payable to the Indemnitee; (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is due and payable to the Indemnitee or (iv) requests such additional information as the Claim Notice Recipient may reasonably require in order to determine whether all or part of such Claimed Amount is due and payable to the Indemnitee.  Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be due and payable to the Indemnitee pursuant to the Response Notice (or the entire Claimed Amount, if the Claim Notice Recipient asserts in the Response Notice that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee) being referred to as the “Contested Amount”.  If a Response Notice is not received by the Indemnitee from the Claim Notice Recipient prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Claim Notice Recipient shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the full Claimed Amount referred to in the applicable Claim Notice is due and payable to the Indemnitee and such amount shall also be deemed to be an “Agreed Amount.”
 
 
75

 
 
(c) If the Claim Notice Recipient delivers a Response Notice in accordance with Section 5.5(b)(iv), the Indemnitee will respond (a “Further Information Notice”) to such Response Notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Response Notice, and the Claim Notice Recipient shall provide a Response Notice in accordance with Section 5.5(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such Further Information Notice.
 
(d) If the Claim Notice Recipient in its Response Notice agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, or if no Response Notice is received by the Indemnitee from the Claim Recipient prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then (i) within three Business Days following the earlier of the delivery of such Response Notice or the expiration of the Dispute Period, (A) if the Parent is the Indemnitee, then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3, the Stockholders’ Agent shall instruct Parent to release the Agreed Amount to Parent from the Parent Holdback Amount, or (B) if the Stockholders Indemnitee is the Indemnitee, then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3, Parent shall pay the Agreed Amount to the Stockholder Indemnitees in cash; and each Eligible Stockholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Portion of the Agreed Amount with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock owned by such Eligible Stockholder as of the Effective Time.  Following a release pursuant to subsection (A) above, the Parent Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the Agreed Amount as of the date of such release.
 
(e) If the Claim Notice Recipient in its Response Notice agrees that an Agreed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, then (i) within three Business Days following the earlier of the delivery of such Response Notice or the expiration of the Dispute Period, (A) if the Parent is the Indemnitee, then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3, the Stockholders’ Agent shall instruct Parent to release the Agreed Amount to Parent from the Parent Holdback Amount, or (B) if the Stockholders Indemnitee is the Indemnitee, then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3, Parent shall pay the Agreed Amount to the Stockholder Indemnitees in cash.  Following a release pursuant to subsection (A) above, the Parent Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the Agreed Amount as of the date of such release.
 
(f) If any Response Notice expressly indicates that there is a Contested Amount, the Claim Notice Recipient and the Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith for a period not to exceed ten (10) Business Days, unless otherwise mutually agreed, to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount.  If the Claim Notice Recipient and the Indemnitee resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on all of the Eligible Stockholders, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and such Indemnitee, and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to such Indemnitee shall be signed by such Indemnitee and the Claim Notice Recipient and the amount so stipulated in such settlement agreement shall be treated as an Agreed Amount.  If no such agreement can be reached during such ten (10) Business Day period, then Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative may institute proceedings in court in accordance with Section 11.8 to resolve any such dispute.  Each of Parent and Stockholders’ Representative shall in all instances seek to resolve such disputes in as expeditious a manner as practicable.
 
 
76

 
 
5.6 Defense of Third-Party Claims.  In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against Merger Sub, the Company, Parent, any Eligible Stockholder or any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnitor may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article 5 (“Third Party Claims”), the obligations and liabilities of any Indemnitor shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:
 
(a) if an Indemnitee shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall give the Stockholders’ Agent, if the Indemnitee is a Parent Indemnitee, or Parent, if the Indemnitee is a Stockholder Indemnitee, notice of such Third Party Claim promptly following the receipt by the Indemnitee of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release an Indemnitor from any of its obligations under this Article 5 except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding.  The notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such indemnification claim, and to the extent determinable the amount or good faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom.
 
(b) The Stockholders’ Agent shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of a Third Party Claim that is subject to indemnification by the Stockholder Indemnitors and Parent shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of a Third Party Claim that is subject to indemnification by Parent, in each case at its own expense (or, in the case of the Stockholders’ Agent, at the Stockholder Indemnitors’ expense) and through counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee) if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee; provided, however, that (A) the Stockholders’ Agent shall not have the right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim subject to indemnification by the Stockholder Indemnitors if there is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it materially prejudicial to the Parent Indemnitee (in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Parent Indemnitee) for the same counsel to represent both the Parent Indemnitee and the Stockholders’ Agent and (B) Parent shall not have the right to assume any Third Party Claim if there is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it materially prejudicial to the Stockholder Indemnitee (in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Stockholders’ Agent) for the same counsel to represent both the Stockholder Indemnitee and Parent.  The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Stockholders’ Agent or Parent, as the case may be, in such defense and make available to the Stockholders’ Agent or Parent at the Stockholders’ Agent’s or Parent’s expense, as the case may be, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnitee’s possession or under the Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Agent or Parent.  Except with the written consent of the Indemnitee, or in the case of a Stockholder Indemnitee, the Stockholders’ Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Stockholders’ Agent or Parent, as the case may be, will not, in the defense of a Third Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnitee by the third party of a release from all Liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) unless there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of Legal Requirements by the Indemnitee (or any affiliate thereof), (B) any Liability on the part of the Indemnitee (or any affiliate thereof) or (C) any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims of a similar nature that may be made by the same third party against the Indemnitee (or any affiliate thereof); or (iii) in the case of a Parent Indemnitee, which exceeds the reimbursement available through reduction of the Parent Holdback Amount at the next Distribution Date, or in the case of a Stockholder Indemnitee, which exceeds the amount remaining under the Parent Cap.
 
 
77

 
 
(c) In the event that the Stockholders’ Agent fails or elects not to assume the defense of a Parent Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim which the Stockholders’ Agent had the right to assume pursuant to Section 5.5(b), the Parent Indemnitee shall have the right, at the expense of the Eligible Stockholders, to defend or prosecute such claim in any manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate and may settle such claim after giving written notice thereof to the Stockholders’ Agent, on such terms as such Parent Indemnitee may deem appropriate, and the Parent Indemnitee may seek prompt reimbursement from the Parent Holdback Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, for any Damages incurred in connection with such settlement.  If the Stockholders’ Agent does not elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim which it has the right to assume hereunder, the Indemnitee shall have no obligation to do so.
 
(d) In the event Parent fails or elects not to assume the defense of a Stockholder Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim which Parent had the right to assume pursuant to Section 5.5(b), the Stockholder Indemnitee shall have the right, at the expense of Parent, to defend or prosecute such claim in any manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate and may settle such claim after giving written notice thereof to Parent, on such terms as such Stockholder Indemnitee may deem appropriate, and the Stockholder Indemnitee may seek prompt reimbursement from Parent, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 5, for any Damages incurred in connection with such settlement.  If Parent does not elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim which it has the right to assume hereunder, the Stockholder Indemnitee shall have no obligation to do so.
 
(e) In the event that the Stockholders’ Agent is not entitled to assume the defense of the Parent Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 5.5(b), the Parent Indemnitee shall have the right, at the expense of the Stockholder Indemnitors’ (through reduction of the Parent Holdback Amount at the next Distribution Date as if such expenses were Agreed Amounts), to defend or prosecute such claim and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate after giving written notice thereof to the Stockholders’ Agent, and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, the Parent Indemnitee may seek reimbursement from the Parent Holdback Amount (through reduction of the Parent Holdback Amount at the next Distribution Date as if such expenses were Agreed Amounts) for any Damages incurred in connection with such judgment or settlement.  In such case, the Parent Indemnitee shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and the Stockholders’ Agent shall cooperate with the Parent Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Parent Indemnitee, at the Stockholder Indemnitors’ expense (through reduction of the Parent Holdback Amount at the next Distribution Date as if such expenses were Agreed Amounts), all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Stockholders’ Agent’s possession or under the Stockholders’ Agent’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Parent Indemnitee.
 
 
78

 
 
(f) In the event that Parent is not entitled to assume the defense of the Stockholder Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 5.5(b), the Stockholders’ Agent shall have the right, at the expense of Parent, to defend or prosecute such claim and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate after giving written notice thereof to Parent, and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, the Stockholders’ Agent may seek prompt reimbursement from Parent for any Damages incurred in connection with such judgment or settlement.  In such case, the Stockholders’ Agent shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and Parent shall cooperate with the Stockholders’ Agent in such defense and make available to the Stockholders’ Agent, at Parent’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in Parent’s possession or under Parent’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Agent.
 
5.7 Remedies Exclusive; Sole Recourse.  From and after the Effective Time, the rights of the Indemnitees to indemnification relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be strictly limited to those contained in Section 4.18, this Article 5 and Article 6, and such indemnification rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnitees subsequent to the Effective Time with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or the Merger or arising in connection herewith or therewith.  The release of amounts from the Parent Holdback Amount shall be the Parent Indemnitees’ sole recourse for all Damages, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 5 and the provisions of Article 6.  Except as provided in this Article 5, no claim, action or remedy shall be brought or maintained by any party against any other party, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misstatement or omission respecting an inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any of the parties hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement.
 
6.   HOLDBACK
 
6.1 Purpose of Holdback.  An aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock constituting Merger Consideration shall be withheld from the Eligible Stockholders and retained by Parent following the Effective Time as security for any indemnification payments required pursuant to Article 5 hereof (the “Parent Holdback Amount”).  The shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Parent Holdback Amount shall accrue dividends as if such shares were issued as Merger Consideration as of the Effective Time, provided that no dividends that would otherwise be required to be paid on such shares shall be paid unless and until such shares are released to the Eligible Stockholders in accordance with this Article 6.  The Parent Holdback Amount shall be reduced from time to time as set forth in Section 5.5, Section 5.6 and this Article 6 and shall be delivered to the Eligible Stockholders at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 5.5, Section 5.6 and this Article 6.

6.2 Delivery of Holdback Merger Consideration.
 
(a) Promptly following 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Expiration Date (the “Initial Distribution Date”), the Eligible Stockholders shall be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (A)-(B)-(C), where (A) equals the then-remaining Parent Holdback Amount; (B) equals all shares constituting an Agreed Amount that have not already been distributed to the Parent pursuant to Section 5.5; and (C) equals any outstanding Claimed Shares (excluding any shares constituting an Agreed Amount that already have been distributed to the Eligible Stockholders pursuant to Section 5.5) (such aggregate amount, the “Initial Distribution Date Amount”).  Each Eligible Stockholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Portion of the Initial Distribution Date Amount with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock owned by such Eligible Stockholder as of the Effective Time.  Following the Initial Distribution Date, the Parent Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the Agreed Amount as of such date and the number of shares distributed to Eligible Stockholders with respect to such Initial Distribution Date.
 
(b) After the Initial Distribution Date, promptly following the date on which any Claims with respect to any outstanding Claimed Amount as of the Initial Distribution Date are fully and finally resolved pursuant to a Final Resolution (a “Post-Initial Distribution Date”), the Eligible Stockholders shall be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (A)-(B)-(C), where (A) equals the then remaining Parent Holdback Amount, (B) equals all shares constituting an Agreed Amount that have not already been distributed to the Parent pursuant to Section 5.5; (C) equals any outstanding Claimed Shares (excluding any shares constituting an Agreed Amount that already have been distributed to the Eligible Stockholders pursuant to Section 5.5) (such aggregate amount, the “Post-Initial Distribution Date Amount”).  Each Eligible Stockholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Portion of each such Post-Initial Distribution Date Amount with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock held by such Eligible Stockholder as of the Effective Time.  Following a Post-Initial Distribution Date, the Parent Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the Agreed Amount as of such date and the number of shares distributed to Eligible Stockholders with respect to such Post-Initial Distribution Date.
 
(c) Any shares of Parent Common Stock required to be delivered to the Eligible Stockholders pursuant to Section 6.3(a) or (b), shall be delivered by Parent directly to the Eligible Stockholders, provided that the Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver to Parent an updated Allocation Spreadsheet setting forth the Pro Rata Portion of such shares to be delivered to each Eligible Stockholder, the names of each Eligible Stockholder in which such shares are to be issued and cash paid and, to the extent any update has been received by the Stockholders’ Agent, a mailing address where delivery of such shares and cash may be made to each such Eligible Stockholder.  Upon delivery of such shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Stockholders’ Agent’s certificate, Parent shall have no further Liability to the Eligible Stockholders with respect to such shares.
 
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article 5 or this Article 6, any Stockholder Indemnitor may elect, in his, her or its sole discretion, to satisfy any indemnification obligations owed to a Parent Indemnittee under Article 5 in cash rather than shares of Parent Common Stock.

10.   TAX MATTERS
 
10.1 Consistent Tax Reporting
 
.  None of the parties herein nor any of their Affiliates will (i) take any position on an applicable income Tax Return that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as an integrated transaction characterized as a merger of Merger Sub into the Company that constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) the Code, other than in connection with a Final Resolution following a challenge by a Taxing Authority; (ii) knowingly take any action or knowingly fail to take any action which action or failure to act would prevent, or would be reasonably likely to prevent, the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
 
10.2 Tax Covenants.  From the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, the Company shall:
 
(a) prepare, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice (except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Law), and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by it on or before the Closing Date (“Post-Signing Returns”);
 
(b) consult with Parent with respect to all material Post-Signing Returns and deliver drafts of such Post-Signing Returns to Parent no later than ten Business Days prior to the date (including extensions) on which such Post-Signing Returns are required to be filed;

(e) promptly notify Parent of any material federal, state, local or foreign income or franchise Legal Proceeding or audit pending or threatened in writing against or with respect to the Company in respect of any Tax matter, including Tax Liabilities and refund claims, and not settle or compromise any such Tax matter or Legal Proceeding without Parent’s consent;
 
 
86

 
 
(f) not make or revoke any material election with regard to Taxes or file any material amended Tax Returns;
 
(g) not make any change in any Tax or accounting methods or systems of internal accounting controls (including procedures with respect to the payment of accounts payable and collection of accounts receivable), except as may be appropriate to conform to changes in Tax Laws or regulatory accounting requirements or GAAP; and
 
(h) effective as of the Closing Date, terminate all Tax Sharing Agreements to which it is a party such that there is no further liability thereunder other than any Tax Sharing Agreements solely among the Company and any of its Subsidiaries.
 
It is the intention of the parties hereto to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the consideration payable pursuant to Article 1 for all Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax Laws or a final determination.
 
10.3 Tax Audits and Contests; Cooperation.
 
(a) After the Closing, Parent shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any audit, claim for refund or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax Liability or refund with respect to the Company (any such audit, claim for refund or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax Liability referred to herein as a “Contest”).  Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Agent upon receipt by Parent or any Affiliate of Parent (including the Company after the Closing Date) of written notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date for which the Company may be liable under this Agreement (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Matter”).  Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any Tax Matter that adversely affects or may adversely affect the Tax liability of the Eligible Stockholders (as of prior to the Closing) or any Affiliate of the foregoing without the consent of the Stockholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Parent shall keep the Stockholders’ Agent fully and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any Tax Matter.  The Parent shall, in good faith, allow the Stockholders’ Agent to make comments to Parent regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.
 
(b) The Stockholders’ Agent shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Company as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns and the preparation, prosecution, defense or conduct of any Contest.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent in the conduct of any Contest or other proceeding involving or otherwise relating to the Company (or their income or assets) with respect to any Tax and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 10.5(b).  Any information obtained under this Section 10.5(b) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Contest or other Tax Action.
 
 
87

 
 
10.4 Preparation of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.
 
(a) Parent shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), and timely file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns of the Company required to be filed with any Governmental Body after the Closing Date, and shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns.
 
(b) In the case of Tax Returns that are filed with respect to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period, Parent shall prepare such Tax Returns and shall deliver any such Tax Return to the Stockholders’ Agent for its review at least 30 days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed.  If the Representative disputes any item on such Tax Return, it shall notify Parent of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection, and the Stockholders’ Agent and Parent shall negotiate in good faith for 15 days following Parent’s receipt of such notice to resolve such objections.  If Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent are unable to resolve all objections during such 15-day period, then any remaining disputes, and only such remaining disputes, shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm.  The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve any such remaining Disputes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within 30 days after its appointment.  The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated equally between Parent, on the one hand, and the Eligible Stockholders, on the other hand.
 
10.5 Conveyance Taxes.  The Eligible Stockholders and Parent shall pay all sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, excise, real property transfer or gains, or similar Taxes incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the Stockholders and Parent shall jointly file all required change of ownership and similar statements.

11.   MISCELLANEOUS
 
11.1 Stockholders’ Agent.
 
(a) Appointment.  By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement, the Eligible Stockholders irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the agent and true and lawful attorney in fact of the stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Agent”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Eligible Stockholders for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that the Stockholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate to carry out the intent of this Agreement, including any claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Article 5 and any amendment to this Agreement following the Effective Time.  Shareholder Representative Services LLC hereby accepts its appointment as Stockholders’ Agent.
 
 
88

 
 
(b) Authority.  The Eligible Stockholders grant to the Stockholders’ Agent full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of such Eligible Stockholders (in the name of any or all of the Eligible Stockholders or otherwise) any and all documents that the Stockholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Stockholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing its duties as contemplated by Section 11.1(a).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) each Indemnitee shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Agent on all matters relating to this Agreement, including any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Article 5; and (ii) each Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Eligible Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Agent, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any stockholder by the Stockholders’ Agent, as fully binding upon such stockholder.
 
(c) Power of Attorney.  The Eligible Stockholders recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 11.1(a): (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by the Stockholders’ Agent; and (iii) shall survive the death or incapacity of each of the Eligible Stockholders.
 
(d) Binding Power.  The Eligible Stockholders shall be bound by all actions taken by the Stockholders’ Agent in its capacity thereof pursuant to the authority granted in Sections 11.1(a) and (b). The Stockholders’ Agent shall at all times act in its capacity as Stockholders’ Agent in a manner that the Stockholders’ Agent believes to be in the best interest of the Eligible Stockholders.  Neither the Stockholders’ Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, if any, shall be liable to any Person for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken under this Agreement, except in the case of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  The Stockholders’ Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.  The Stockholders’ Agent shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.  Each Eligible Stockholder shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless and reimburse the Stockholders’ Agent from and against any and all liabilities, losses, Damages, claims, costs or expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Agent Losses”) suffered or incurred by the Stockholders’ Agent arising out of or in connection with the Stockholders’ Agent’s execution and performance of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholders’ Agent under this Agreement, in each case as such Agent Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Agent Loss is finally adjudicated to have been primarily caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Stockholders’ Agent, the Stockholders’ Agent will reimburse the Eligible Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Agent Losses attributable to such gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholders’ Agent by the Eligible Stockholders, any such Agent Losses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Agent from the shares in the Parent Holdback Amount at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Eligible Stockholders; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholders’ Agent to be paid from the Parent Holdback Amount, this does not relieve the Eligible Stockholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Agent Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholders’ Agent from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Stockholders’ Agent shall not in any manner exercise, or seek to exercise, any voting power whatsoever with respect to shares of capital stock of the Company or Parent now or hereafter owned of record or beneficially by any Eligible Stockholders unless the Stockholders’ Agent is expressly authorized to do so in a writing signed by such Eligible Stockholders.
 
 
89

 
 
(e) Replacement.  If the Stockholders’ Agent shall resign, be dissolved or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Eligible Stockholders shall (by consent of those Persons entitled to at least a majority of the Merger Consideration), within 10 days after such death, disability, resignation or inability, appoint a successor to the Stockholders’ Agent (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent) and immediately thereafter notify Parent of the identity of such successor.  Any such successor shall succeed the Stockholders’ Agent as Stockholders’ Agent hereunder.  If for any reason there is no Stockholders’ Agent at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’ Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Eligible Stockholders.
 
11.2 Further Assurances; Limitations.  Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
11.3 Fees and Expenses.  Subject to Article 9 and 11.1(d), each party to this Agreement shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses that have been incurred or that are incurred in the future by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with or by virtue of: (a) the negotiation, preparation and review of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) and all agreements, certificates, opinions and other instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) the preparation and submission of any filing or notice required to be made or given in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the obtaining of any Consent required to be obtained in connection with any of such transactions; and (c) the consummation of the Merger.
 
11.4 Attorneys’ Fees.  If any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement is brought against any party hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).
