Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 11, 2015, Fossil Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Misfit, Inc. (“Misfit”), Charlie Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and certain other parties pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Misfit, with Misfit surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will acquire Misfit for aggregate consideration of $250 million, subject to certain customary adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and Misfit. A portion of the aggregate consideration will be held in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of Misfit’s securityholders.
The transaction is subject to the satisfaction and waiver of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory and government approvals and authorizations. In addition, the Company has entered into employment, noncompetition and non-solicitation agreements with certain key employees of Misfit to be effective upon closing.
A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement and the above description of the Merger Agreement have been included to provide investors and securityholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Misfit or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of Misfit solely for the benefit of the Company. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure letter that Misfit delivered to the Company in connection with signing the Merger Agreement as of a specific date. The disclosure letter contains information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. Therefore, investors and securityholders should not treat the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement as categorical statements of fact. Moreover, these representations and warranties may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be material to investors and were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement and are subject to more recent developments.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 12, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing its entry into the Merger Agreement. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any shares of Company Capital Stock:
(a)    Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become, and will thereupon represent, one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with the same rights, powers and privileges as each share so converted, and will thereupon constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares will continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(b)    Company Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7, each share of Company Capital Stock that is outstanding and owned by the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Company Treasury Stock”) will cease to be outstanding, will be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor, and will thereupon cease to exist.
(c)    Dissenting Shares of Company Capital Stock. Following the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7, Dissenting Shares will be treated in accordance with the terms of Section 2.8.

-22-


(d)    Company Capital Stock.
(i)    At the Effective Time, each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Treasury Stock and Dissenting Shares), will be cancelled and extinguished and will be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Capital Stock, that portion of the Total Consideration, without interest, as set forth below:
(A)    each outstanding share of Company Preferred Stock that has not been converted to Company Common Stock (or deemed to have been converted) pursuant to the terms of the Charter Documents at or prior to the Effective Time will be converted automatically into the right to receive the Applicable Series Preferred Preference Per Share; provided, however, that if the Total Consideration available for distribution to the holders of the then outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock is insufficient to permit the full payment to such holders of the Applicable Series Preferred Preference Per Share, then the Total Consideration will be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the shares of Company Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.7(d)(i)(A);
(B)    each outstanding share of Company Common Stock other than Unvested Company Shares will be converted automatically into the right to receive the Per Share Amount; and
(C)    each Unvested Company Share will be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount equal to the Per Share Amount (the “Unvested Share Consideration”), provided, however, that the Unvested Share Consideration will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and the agreements evidencing the corresponding Unvested Company Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, including provisions with respect to vesting and acceleration. Payments of Unvested Share Consideration will be made in connection with the next regularly scheduled payroll after the last business day of Parent’s fiscal quarter in which the Unvested Company Shares to which the Unvested Share Consideration is attributable would have vested. If a holder of an Unvested Company Share fails to vest in any portion of his or her Unvested Share Consideration (including due to a failure to meet the applicable vesting requirements set forth in his or her agreement evidencing the grant of such Unvested Company Shares), then such amounts shall revert to the Management Incentive Plan in accordance with the Management Incentive Plan. Each payment of Unvested Share Consideration hereunder is intended to be a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities hereunder will be resolved in a manner to maintain such exemption from or compliance with Section 409A of the Code. From time to time, Parent will institute appropriate procedures for the payment of Unvested Share Consideration including with respect to appropriate Tax withholding.
(ii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pro Rata Portion of the consideration payable to each Company Stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock owned by such Company Stockholder as of the Effective Time will be withheld and placed in escrow pursuant to the escrow provisions of Article VIII.

-23-


(e)    Treatment of Company Options.
(i)    At the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount, less applicable withholdings, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Vested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the excess of the Per Share Amount over the per share exercise price under such Vested Company Option (“Vested Option Consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pro Rata Portion of the Vested Option Consideration payable to each holder of a Vested Option pursuant to this Section 2.7(e) will be withheld and placed in escrow pursuant to the escrow provisions of Article VIII.
(ii)    At the Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the excess of the Per Share Amount over the per share exercise price under such Unvested Company Option (“Unvested Option Consideration”). The Unvested Option Consideration will be subject to applicable withholdings and continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and the agreements evidencing the corresponding Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including provisions with respect to vesting and acceleration, provided that payments of Unvested Option Consideration will be made in connection with the next regularly scheduled payroll after the last business day of Parent’s fiscal quarter in which the Unvested Company Options to which the Unvested Option Consideration is attributable would have vested. If a holder of an Unvested Company Option fails to vest in any portion of his or her Unvested Option Consideration (including, due to a failure to meet the applicable vesting requirements set forth in his or her agreement evidencing the grant of such Unvested Company Option), then such amounts shall revert to the Management Incentive Plan in accordance with the Management Incentive Plan and be forfeited by such holder for no consideration. Each payment of Unvested Option Consideration hereunder is intended to be a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities hereunder will be resolved in a manner to maintain such exemption from or compliance with Section 409A of the Code. From time to time, Parent will institute appropriate procedures for the payment of Unvested Option Consideration including with respect to appropriate Tax withholding.
(f)    Treatment of Company Warrants. Each Company Warrant shall be cancelled, terminated and extinguished as of the Effective Time, and upon the cancellation thereof be converted into the right to receive, in respect of each share of Company Common Stock deemed to be represented by such Company Warrant, an amount in cash equal to (i) the Per Share Amount less (ii) the applicable exercise price per share of Company Common Stock deemed to be represented by such Company Warrant. Each holder of an outstanding Company Warrant cancelled as provided in this Section 2.7(f) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the cash consideration specified in this Section 2.7(f) without interest.

-24-


(g)    Withholding of Taxes. The Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Escrow Agent, at the written request of the Company, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Total Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law and be provided with any necessary Tax forms, including Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information. The Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any such withholding, provided, that such obligation shall be deemed to have been met if Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent or the Paying Agent requested the applicable payee to deliver the applicable tax form (such as Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8). To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts will be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. To the extent that any payment pursuant to this Agreement is not reduced by such deductions or withholdings, such recipient will indemnify Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) and the Escrow Agent and its Affiliates for any amounts imposed by any taxing authority together with any costs and expenses related thereto (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation).
2.8    Dissenting Shares.
(a)    No Conversion. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a Company Stockholder who has duly perfected dissenters’ rights under applicable Law (any such shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable Total Consideration for such Company Stockholder’s shares of Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 2.7, but in lieu thereof, such Company Stockholder will be entitled to such rights as are provided by applicable Law.
(b)    Loss of Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares will effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s dissenters’ rights under applicable Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares will automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10, the applicable portion of the Total Consideration.
(c)    Cooperation. Prior to the Closing, the Company will give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demand for dissenters’ rights or other payment received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of applicable Law; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), make any payment with respect to any such demands, or make a binding offer to settle or settle any such demands. Following the Closing, Parent will consult with the Securityholder Representative regarding any payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the value of the Total Consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company (i) makes any payment or payments in respect of

-25-


any Dissenting Shares in excess of the value of the Total Consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement; or (ii) incurs any Losses (including attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses and including any such fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any action or proceeding) in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) ((i) and (ii) together, “Dissenting Share Payments”), then Parent will be entitled to recover, under the terms of Article VIII, the amount of such Dissenting Share Payments.
2.9    Working Capital Adjustment.
(a)    Calculation of Estimated Closing Net Working Capital. At least five Business Days prior to 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the Closing Date, the Company must prepare and deliver to Parent a draft of a statement setting forth the Company’s estimate of the Closing Net Working Capital that is consistent with the example and methodology set forth on Schedule 1.1(k) (provided that Schedule 1.1(k) will exclude allowance for returns or defective product). At least one Business Day prior to 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the Closing Date, the Company must prepare and deliver to Parent a final statement setting forth the Company’s estimate of the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Statement”). The Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Statement must fairly and accurately present the Company’s good faith best estimate (based on reasonable assumptions) of the Closing Net Working Capital without giving effect to the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The estimated Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Statement is referred to herein as the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital.”
(b)    Calculation of Actual Closing Net Working Capital.
(iii)    Within 90 days following the Closing Date, except with the written consent of the Securityholder Representative, Parent must prepare (or cause to be prepared) and deliver to the Securityholder Representative a statement setting forth Parent’s good faith calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital that is consistent with the example and methodology set forth on Schedule 1.1(k) (the “Parent’s Closing Net Working Capital Statement”).
(iv)    The Securityholder Representative may dispute any item or amount set forth in the Parent’s Closing Net Working Capital Statement within 30 days following receipt of the Parent’s Closing Net Working Capital Statement by delivering to Parent a written notice of such dispute (a “Notice of Dispute”) setting forth, in reasonable detail and to the extent practicable, (A) each item or amount so disputed by the Securityholder Representative; (B) the Securityholder Representative’s calculation of each such disputed item or amount (if possible); and (C) the Securityholder Representative’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital of the Company after giving effect to the Securityholder Representative’s calculation of each such disputed item or amount.
(v)    If Parent does not receive a Notice of Dispute from the Securityholder Representative delivered pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.9(b)(ii) within the time period set forth therein, then (A) the Securityholder Representative will be deemed to have irrevocably

-26-


consented and agreed to each item and amount set forth in the Parent’s Closing Net Working Capital Statement delivered by Parent pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i); and (B) for all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Actual Closing Net Working Capital” will mean the Closing Net Working Capital as set forth in the Parent’s Closing Net Working Capital Statement delivered by Parent pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i). If Parent receives a Notice of Dispute from the Securityholder Representative delivered pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.9(b)(ii) within the time period set forth therein, then Parent and the Securityholder Representative will use their respective reasonable best efforts to resolve all disputed items and amounts set forth in the Notice of Dispute pursuant to good faith negotiations. In the event that Parent and the Securityholder Representative reach agreement within 30 days following Parent’s receipt of a Notice of Dispute on all disputed items and amounts set forth in such Notice of Dispute, then for all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Actual Closing Net Working Capital” will mean the Closing Net Working Capital as agreed upon by Parent and the Securityholder Representative in writing, and any such resolution will be final and binding on the parties hereto for the purposes of this Section 2.9(b) and Article VIII. In the event that Parent and the Securityholder Representative are unable to reach agreement within 30 days following Parent’s receipt of a Notice of Dispute on all of the disputed items or amounts set forth in a Notice of Dispute, then the following will occur:
(A)    Parent and the Securityholder Representative will execute a memorandum (the “Working Capital Memorandum”) setting forth (1) the resolved items or amounts, if any; and (2) the items or amounts that remain in dispute following such good faith negotiations.
(B)    At the request of either Parent or the Securityholder Representative, Parent and the Securityholder Representative must submit all remaining disputed items and amounts set forth in the Working Capital Memorandum to KPMG LLP or, if such firm refuses such assignment, to a nationally recognized accounting firm that has not performed work for, and is otherwise independent of, each of Parent, the Company and the Securityholder Representative and that is reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Securityholder Representative (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) for resolution in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Each of the parties hereto will, and will cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, provide full cooperation to the Independent Accounting Firm, including providing the Independent Accounting Firm with all relevant information, books and records and any work papers relating to the disputed items and amounts and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm must (1) act in its capacity as an expert and not as an arbitrator; (2) consider only those items and amounts identified in the Working Capital Memorandum as being in dispute between Parent and the Securityholder Representative; (3) be instructed to reach its conclusions regarding any such dispute within 30 days after its appointment and provide a written explanation of its decision; and (4) not (a) determine any liability claimed by the Securityholder Representative or asset claimed by Parent in an amount less than that claimed by such party; or (b) determine any asset claimed by the Securityholder Representative or liability claimed by Parent in an amount in excess of the amount claimed by such party except, in the case of each of (a) and (b), as may be necessary to make a corresponding adjustment to a disputed item in accordance with GAAP. All expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm will be borne

-27-


by (x) Parent in the proportion that the aggregate dollar value of the disputed items submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by Parent bears to the aggregate value of all such items so disputed and (y) by the Indemnifying Parties (by using the Escrow Fund) in the proportion that the aggregate dollar value of the disputed items submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties) bears to the aggregate value of all such items so submitted.. The Independent Accounting Firm will determine all disputed items and amounts and its decision in respect thereof will be final and binding upon Parent and the Securityholder Representative.
(vi)    During the period of time from and after the date of the delivery of the Parent’s Closing Net Working Capital Statement to the Securityholder Representative until the Actual Closing Net Working Capital has been finally determined, Parent will provide the Securityholder Representative and its representatives (including accountants and counsel) (subject to the execution and delivery of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent) with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation and the working papers used by Parent (or accountants and counsel retained by it), and access to such personnel or representatives of Parent and the Surviving Corporation as the Securityholder Representative may reasonably require for the purposes of review of, resolving any dispute related to or responding to any matters or inquiries concerning Parent’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Parent’s Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the preparation of any Notice of Dispute. Parent will use reasonable best efforts to respond to inquiries from the Securityholder Representative regarding the Actual Closing Net Working Capital Statement.
(vii)    After the amount of the Actual Closing Net Working Capital has been determined, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and the Actual Closing Net Working Capital will be paid as follows: (i) if the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Actual Closing Net Working Capital, then the Indemnifying Parties on a several basis based on their Pro Rata Portion will cause to be paid to Parent an amount equal to such excess by directing the Escrow Agent to disperse such excess from the Escrow Fund of such amount (such payment, the “Excess Payment”); and (ii) if the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Actual Closing Net Working Capital, then Parent will pay, or cause to be paid, to the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with their Pro Rata Portion, an amount equal to the absolute value of such deficiency (such payment, the “Deficiency Payment”). Any Excess Payment or Deficiency Payment will be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the party entitled to such payment, by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties or Parent, as applicable, no later than five Business Days following the final determination of the Actual Closing Net Working Capital.
2.10    Closing Payment Procedures.
(a)    Paying Agent. U.S. Bank National Association or any other credible bank selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company prior to the Closing may serve as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the Merger.

-28-


(b)    Closing Payments. At or prior to the Closing, Parent will make, or cause to be made, the following payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds:
(iii)    to the Paying Agent, an amount equal to the (A) the aggregate amount of consideration payable with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Warrants pursuant to Section 2.7(d)(i)(A), Section 2.7(d)(i)(B) and Section 2.7(f) minus (B) the Escrow Amount, which amount will be distributed to the Company Securityholders in accordance with this Agreement and the letter of transmittal
(iv)    to the Paying Agent (which, at the direction of Parent, will make a subsequent transfer to the Company’s third party payroll agent or bank account of the Company or Parent or one of its Affiliates from which such payroll agent regularly withdraws funds), an amount equal to the aggregate amount of consideration payable with respect to all Vested Company Options (such amount, together with the payment the contemplated by Section 2.10(b)(i), the “Closing Payment Amount”);
(v)    to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Amount to be held in the Escrow Fund, as may be decreased from time to time pursuant to Article VIII and distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and, at such time, Parent will be deemed to have deposited the Pro Rata Portion of each Indemnifying Party into the Escrow Fund, rounded to the nearest cent;
(vi)    to the Paying Agent all unpaid Third Party Expenses set forth in the Statement of Expenses, for distribution to the Persons identified in such Statement of Expenses promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) following the Closing;
(vii)    to the Paying Agent the aggregate amount of all Change of Control Fees that have not been paid by the Company prior to the Closing and are set forth in the Statement of Expenses, for distribution to the Persons set forth in the Statement of Expenses promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) following the Closing; and
(viii)    to the Paying Agent, the Closing Indebtedness that remains unpaid, if any, for the Paying Agent to repay such Closing Indebtedness.
(c)    Exchange Procedures. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement:
(i)    As soon as practicable (and in any event within two Business Days) after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) mail or otherwise deliver, or cause to be mailed or otherwise delivered, to each holder of Vested Company Options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the address set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Spreadsheet, an appropriate optionholder letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached as Exhibit E-1, with respect to holders of Vested Company Options who are subject to income or employment Tax withholding by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation and who are to receive their portion of the Closing Payment Amount from Parent (or the Company’s third party payroll agent), or Exhibit E-2, with respect to holders of Vested Company Options who are not subject to income or employment Tax withholding

-29-


by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation and who are to receive their portion of the Closing Payment Amount from the Paying Agent (collectively, the “Optionholder Letters of Transmittal”). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and upon receipt by the Paying Agent or Parent, as applicable, of such Optionholder Letters of Transmittal and any other documents required pursuant to such Optionholder Letter of Transmittal, the holder of such Vested Company Option will be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent or Parent, as applicable, that portion of the Closing Payment Amount to which such holder is entitled, less any applicable Tax withholding and without interest. No portion of the Closing Payment Amount may be paid to the holder of any Vested Company Option unless and until the holder of record of such Vested Company Option has delivered to the Paying Agent or Parent, as applicable, the appropriate Optionholder Letter of Transmittal and any other documents required pursuant to such Optionholder Letter of Transmittal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent, in its sole discretion, may elect to make all payments to the holders of Vested Company Options through the payroll system (including through a third party payroll agent) used by Parent or its Affiliates and, in such event, Parent will not be obligated to make the payment to the Paying Agent contemplated by Section 2.10(b)(ii).
(ii)    As soon as practicable (and in any event within five Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Paying Agent to mail or otherwise deliver to each Company Stockholder a stockholder letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached as Exhibit E-3 (the “Stockholder Letter of Transmittal” and together with the Optionholder Letters of Transmittal, the “Letters of Transmittal”) to the address set forth opposite such Company Stockholder’s name on the Spreadsheet. After receipt of a Stockholder Letter of Transmittal and any other documents required pursuant to the Stockholder Letter of Transmittal (the “Exchange Documents”), such Company Stockholder will surrender all certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock to the Paying Agent for cancellation together with duly completed and validly executed Exchange Documents. Upon (and in any event within three Business Days following) surrender of such certificates and Exchange Documents, such Company Stockholder will be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent, by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds (as identified by the Company Stockholder in the Stockholder Letter of Transmittal), the cash constituting the portion of the Closing Payment Amount to which such Company Stockholder is entitled (it being understood that such amount will not include the Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount, which amount has been deposited with the Escrow Agent), less any applicable Tax withholding and without interest. The stock certificates so surrendered will be cancelled. Until so surrendered, after the Effective Time, each stock certificate will be deemed, for all corporate purposes thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the consideration provided for in this Article II.
(iii)    The Closing Payment Amount will be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the written mutual consent of Parent and the Securityholder Representative, but no gain or loss thereon or income or loss generated thereby will affect the amounts payable by Parent pursuant to this Article II. Earnings on the Closing Payment Amount will be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and no part of such earnings will accrue to the benefit of holders of Company Capital Stock or Company Options and such holders will not be responsible for Taxes owed for income thereon.

-30-


(d)    Expense Fund. At the Closing, the Paying Agent shall distribute the Expense Fund Amount to the Securityholder Representative, which shall be maintained by the Securityholder Representative in a segregated account. By virtue of this Agreement, each Indemnifying Party hereby agrees that a Pro Rata Portion of the Expense Fund Amount shall be withheld from the consideration payable to such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement and be delivered to the Securityholder Representative to serve as the Expense Fund.
2.11    No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. All consideration paid in respect of the surrender of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.
2.12    No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates will be liable to a holder of any shares of Company Capital Stock for any shares transferred or amounts paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. At any time following the last day of the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent will be entitled to require its agent to deliver to Parent or its designated successor or assign all of the Total Consideration that has been deposited with such agent pursuant to this Agreement and not disbursed pursuant to Section 2.7, and thereafter the Company Securityholders will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to the terms of Section 2.7) as general creditors thereof with respect to any amounts that may be payable to such Persons pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section 2.10.

The Company must deliver to Parent, at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, executed payoff letters or final invoices, as applicable, from each lender, creditor, noteholder or other counterparty to which such Closing Indebtedness is owing (whether or not then due and payable), in each case (a) that sets forth the amount to be paid on or prior to the Closing Date, together with wire transfer instructions; (b) evidencing that the payment of such amount would result in the full repayment, satisfaction, release, and discharge of all current and future obligations of the Company (and, in the case of hedging, swap or similar agreements, the complete unwind and settlement of such arrangements) in respect of such item (except obligations for indemnification and reimbursement that expressly survive repayment in full) and of all current and future Liens relating to such item; and (c) contemplating the delivery of UCC-3 termination statements and mortgage releases that when filed or recorded, as the case may be, will be sufficient to release any and all Liens relating to such item.
6.15    Joinder and Waiver Agreement. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Joinder and Waiver Agreement to be executed on or prior to the Closing Date by the holders of at least 80% of the shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming the exercise of all Vested Company Options and Company Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time).
6.16    Post-Closing Employee Matters.
(c)    Compensation and Benefits. For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Continuing Employees base salaries that are no less than those that are provided by the Company to Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.16(a) shall require Parent to provide substantially comparable equity and long-term incentive compensation. Without limiting the foregoing:
(iii)    With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to (without duplication of benefits), assume the liability for such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time in accordance with the practice and policies of the Company.

-76-


(iv)    Parent shall be solely responsible for all termination and severance benefits (which benefits, for the avoidance of doubt, shall either be provided under the plans of Parent or its Subsidiaries, or the Company Employee Plans), costs, charges and liabilities of any nature incurred with respect to the termination of any Continuing Employees after the Effective Time, including any claims arising out of or relating to any mass layoff or similar event under applicable Law occurring on or after the Effective Time.
(v)    Parent agrees that all Continuing Employees shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Surviving Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 6.16 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any such health or welfare benefit plan at any time, and (ii) if Parent or the Surviving Corporation terminates any such health or welfare benefit plan, then (upon expiration of any appropriate transition period), Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Surviving Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans to the extent that coverage under such plans is replacing comparable coverage under a Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time. To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility, vesting or allowances (including paid time off) under any health or welfare benefit plan of Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation, then Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such health or welfare benefit plan shall, for purposes of eligibility, vesting, allowances and benefit accrual (including paid time off), credit Continuing Employees for service prior to the Effective Time with the Company to the same extent that such service was recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding health or welfare benefit plan of the Company. In addition, Parent shall in no event apply an eligibility limitation, waiting period or other condition under any group health or welfare plan with respect to Continuing Employees and the eligible dependents of Continuing Employees, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such individuals to the extent not satisfied as of the Effective Time under the corresponding Company Employee Plan. To the extent that any Continuing Employee or any eligible dependent of a Continuing Employee is transferred during a plan year from coverage under one or more of the Company Employee Plans to coverage under a successor group health and welfare plan, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the affected Continuing Employee, or eligible dependent with credit for any co-payments, deductibles and offsets (or similar payments) made during the plan year in which the transfer occurs for the purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, out-of-pocket or similar requirements under any such successor benefit plan, program or arrangement.
6.17    Management Incentive Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall adopt the Management Incentive Plan substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Management Incentive Plan”), which will become effective as of the Effective Time.
6.18    Indemnification of Company Officers and Directors.
(a)    Indemnification. For six years following the Closing, Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor all rights to indemnification for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former officers and directors (including, if applicable, their directors, officers, partners, employees, agents,

-77-


spouses and controlling persons) of the Company currently indemnified by the Company under the agreements between the Company and such Persons existing as of the date of this Agreement and set forth on Schedule 6.18(a) (such Persons, the “Company Indemnitees”), including any provisions existing in the Charter Documents as of the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors will (i) be subject to any limitation imposed by applicable Law and (ii) not be deemed to release any Company Indemnitee who is also an officer or director of the Company from his or her obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement. No Company Indemnitee has any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors with respect to any Loss claimed by any of the Indemnified Parties against such Company Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a Company Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement. The foregoing will not in any way limit any Company Indemnitee’s rights to coverage under the Tail Policy.
(b)    Tail Policy. The Company must purchase prior to or concurrent with the Closing a prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability policy or policies (the “Tail Policy”) that will remain in effect until the six year anniversary of the Effective Time the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are comparable to those of the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, except that, to the extent that any payments with respect to such Tail Policy have not been made by the Company prior to or concurrent with the Closing, then such payments will be deemed to be Third Party Expenses or Excess Expenses and Fees, as the case may be.
6.19    Transfer Taxes.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, excise or other Taxes assessed upon or incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne equally by Parent on the one hand, and the Company Securityholders on the other hand. The party required to file any Tax Return related to such Taxes shall file such Tax Return and pay such Taxes and the other party or parties shall reimburse the paying party for its share of such Taxes within 10 days of written request. Parent shall have the right to claim from the Escrow Fund any such Taxes to be borne by the Company Securityholders.
6.20    Further Assurances. Each party hereto, at the request of another party hereto, will execute and deliver each document expressly required by this Agreement and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, then Parent, Merger Sub and the officers and directors of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub are fully authorized, in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise, to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing survival periods supersede any applicable statute of limitations applicable to such representations or warranties. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 8.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 8.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.
(w)    Parent’s Representations. The representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement, will survive the Closing and the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect until the Survival Date; provided, however, that if a written claim asserting a breach of a representation or warranty is delivered before the date on which such representation or warranty ceases to survive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the claims specifically set forth in such claim will survive for the benefit of all Company Securityholders beyond the expiration of the applicable survival period for such representation or warranty until such claims are resolved.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Charter Documents or any agreement between the Company and any Company Securityholder to the contrary, in no event will the Surviving Corporation, as the successor in interest to the Company by virtue of the Merger, or Parent or any of Parent’s other Affiliates be obligated to reimburse, contribute, advance expenses, indemnify or hold harmless any Company Securityholder or any of the Company’s directors or officers for or in connection with any Losses claimed by any Indemnified Party under this Article VIII, other than as permitted pursuant to director and officer indemnification insurance policies.
(k)    Materiality Scrape. For the purpose of this Article VIII, only when determining the amount of Losses paid, suffered, incurred or sustained by an Indemnified Party as a result of, arising out of or in connection with any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of the Company or any failure by the Company or any Indemnifying Party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to it that is qualified or limited in scope as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect, such representation or warranty will be deemed to be made without such qualification or limitation (but such qualification or limitation will be taken into account in determining the existence of any breach, inaccuracy or failure of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement).

(iv)    if an Indemnified Party’s claim under this Article VIII may be brought under different sections of Section 8.2(a), then such Indemnified Party will have the right to bring such claim under any applicable section it chooses in accordance with this Article VIII;
(v)    nothing in this Agreement will limit the rights of any party hereto to apply for equitable remedies to enforce the other party or parties’ obligations hereunder; and
(vi)    nothing in this Agreement will limit the right of any Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under: (A) the Confidentiality Agreement, (B) the 280G Waivers, (C) the Key Employee Offer Letters, or (D) (1) the Joinder and Waiver Agreements, and (2) the Letters of Transmittal (the agreements covered in clauses “(A)” through “(D)” are referred to herein as the “Excluded Agreements”) against the parties thereto, provided, however, that with respect to the Excluded Agreements covered by clauses (D) the caps and limitations set forth in Section 8.3(a) shall apply.
(f)    Effect of Insurance Recovery and Other Limitations. For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses, there will be deducted therefrom an amount equal to: (i) the amount of any proceeds actually received by any Indemnified Party from any third party insurer in connection with such Losses (net of applicable costs of recovery or collection thereof as well as any reserves, deductibles, premium adjustments and retrospectively rated premiums), it being understood that there is no obligation on Parent or any of its Affiliates to pursue any recovery through insurance; and (ii) any indemnification, contribution or other payment actually received from any third Person with respect to such Loss (net of all costs of collection). The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover more than once for the same Loss and shall not be entitled to recover any Loss if and to the extent that such Loss is reflected in the calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Excess Expenses and Fees or Closing Net Working Capital (to the extent of such inclusion).
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the definition of Losses shall exclude any unforeseeable consequential damages, diminution in value, special, punitive or exemplary damages, except and only to the extent granted to third parties pursuant to a final non-appealable judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(h)    Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provided in this Article VIII, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to the Indemnified Parties with respect to any matter resulting from, arising from or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
8.4    Indemnification Claims Procedures.
(h)    Making a Claim for Indemnification; Claim Certificate. If an Indemnified Party believes in good faith that it has or may acquire a right to indemnification under this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party may make an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a) by delivering a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) to the Securityholder Representative, with a copy to the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Losses described in the Claim Certificate are recoverable by seeking recourse against the Escrow Fund), or to one or more Indemnifying Parties

-88-


(if and to the extent that the Losses described in the Claim Certificate are recoverable by seeking recourse directly against any such Indemnifying Party), (i) stating that such Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, suffered or incurred (or in good faith anticipates that it will have to pay, sustain, suffer or incur) Losses; and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail, to the extent known, the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date that each such item was paid, sustained, suffered or incurred, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the Indemnifiable Matter to which such item is related. The Claim Certificate (A) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such Indemnified Party as of the Claim Date, and (B) may be updated and amended from time to time by the Indemnified Party with respect to the amount or new facts or circumstance known to the Indemnified Party (but not by making new claims) by delivering an updated or amended Claim Certificate to the Securityholder Representative or applicable Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, with a copy to the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Losses described in the Claim Certificate are recoverable by seeking recourse against the Escrow Fund). The date of delivery of a Claim Certificate is referred to herein as the “Claim Date” of such Claim Certificate (and the claims for indemnification set forth therein).
(i)    Objecting to a Claim for Indemnification; Objection Notice.
(iv)    Following its receipt of a Claim Certificate, the Securityholder Representative (or in the case of a claim directly against one or more Indemnifying Parties, such Indemnifying Parties) may object to any item(s) or amount(s) set forth therein by delivering written notice thereof (an “Objection Notice”) to the Indemnified Party submitting such Claim Certificate at the addresses of such Indemnified Party set forth in such Claim Certificate, with a copy to the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Losses described in the Claim Certificate are recoverable only by seeking recourse against the Escrow Fund). To be effective such Objection Notice must (i) be delivered to the Indemnified Party (and, in the case of a claim for recourse against the Escrow Fund, to the Escrow Agent) prior to 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the 30th day following the date the Claim Certificate was received by the Securityholder Representative or the Indemnifying Party, as applicable (such deadline, the “Objection Deadline”); and (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in the Claim Certificate in respect of which the objection is made.
(v)    If the Securityholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) does not object as provided in Section 8.4(b)(i) to any item or amount set forth in an Claim Certificate prior to the Objection Deadline for such Claim Certificate, then such failure to object will be an irrevocable acknowledgement by the Securityholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claims for Losses set forth in such Claim Certificate, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VIII (and such entitlement will be conclusively and irrefutably established) with respect to the Indemnifying Party against whom indemnification has been sought (any such claim, an “Unobjected Claim”).
(vi)    With respect to an Unobjected Claim against the Escrow Fund, promptly following the Objection Deadline for the Claim Certificate, the Escrow Agent must release

-89-


from the Escrow Fund and deliver to any Indemnified Party that has previously delivered such Claim Certificate an amount equal to the amount of Losses set forth in such Unobjected Claim (not to exceed the amount then remaining in the Escrow Fund). With respect to an Unobjected Claim for which the Indemnifying Party is directly liable beyond the amount of the Escrow Fund, within 30 days of a claim becoming an Unobjected Claim, the applicable Indemnifying Party will make the applicable payment to such Indemnified Party, subject to the limitations contained in Section 8.3 and Section 8.6.
(j)    Procedure Following an Objection. If the Securityholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) does object as provided in Section 8.4(b) to any item or amount set forth in any Claim Certificate, then the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Party will attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be prepared and signed by the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Party and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, will be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent will be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereof.
(k)    Resolution of Conflicts.
(iv)    If the Securityholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, in the case of a claim for indemnification sought directly from an Indemnifying Party) timely delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 8.4(b)(i), then the Securityholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and Parent (for itself and on behalf of any other Indemnified Party) will attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties to resolve the objections in the Objection Notice with respect to each such claim. Either the Securityholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and Parent may, but will not be obligated to, initiate non-binding mediation of the dispute with the assistance of a neutral arbitrator belonging to and under the rules of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution. The party requesting the mediation will arrange for mediation services, subject to the approval of the other party, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Mediation will take place in Santa Clara County, California during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. Mediation may be scheduled to begin at any time, but with at least 10 Business Days’ written notice to all parties. If one party initiates mediation, then the parties will (A) participate in the mediation in good faith and devote reasonable time and energy to the mediation so as to promptly resolve the dispute or conclude that they cannot resolve the dispute; and (B) not pursue other remedies while such mediation is proceeding. If the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and Parent reach an agreement, then a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be prepared and signed by the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Party and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, will be furnished to the Escrow Agent and, in the case of a claim directly against the Indemnifying Parties, to the Indemnifying Parties. The

-90-


Escrow Agent will be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
(v)    If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation (and, if applicable, mediation) prior to 90 days following the date an Objection Notice is deemed properly delivered, given and received pursuant to Section 10.1, then either Parent or the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) may bring suit in the courts identified in Section 10.7 to resolve the matter. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate will be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent will be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and the Escrow Agent must distribute the amounts from the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
8.5    Third Party Claims. In the event that any Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) that such Indemnified Party in good faith believes may result in a claim for indemnification, such Indemnified Party will, as promptly as practicable, notify the Securityholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) of such claim. The failure to so notify the Securityholder Representative (or such Indemnifying Party, if applicable) of the commencement of any such Third Party Claim will relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability in connection therewith only if and to the extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Indemnifying Parties to defend their interests in such Third Party Claim. The Securityholder Representative will be entitled, on behalf of the Indemnifying Party (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will be entitled) at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of, or settlement negotiations with respect to, such Third Party Claim. The Securityholder Representative or the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, will have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to the other party (provided that the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such effect, including by executing joint defense agreement) and the Indemnified Party will keep the other party reasonably informed and updated as to the status of the Third Party Claim at all times pending resolution thereof. The Indemnified Party will have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such Third Party Claim, but, except with the written consent (which may be given in the sole discretion) of the Securityholder Representative (or, in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party), no settlement of any such Third Party Claim with third party claimants will be determinative of (i) the existence or amount of Losses relating to such matter or (ii) unless otherwise previously agreed in writing by the Securityholder Representative or the Indemnifying Party, the existence of an Indemnifiable Matter. If there is a Third Party Claim that, if adversely determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses, then 25% of any amounts paid, sustained, suffered or reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in defense of such Third Party Claim, regardless of the outcome of such Third Party Claim, will be deemed to be Losses. In the event that the Securityholder

-91-


Representative has consented to any such settlement with respect to an Indemnifiable Matter under Section 8.2(a), then the Indemnifying Parties will have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VIII to the amount of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnified Parties against the Escrow Fund with respect to such settlement.
8.6    Escrow Arrangements.
(h)    Escrow Fund. By virtue of this Agreement and as partial security for the Indemnified Parties under Section 8.2(a), at the Effective Time, Parent will deposit with the Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount without any act of the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(iii). Such deposit of the Escrow Amount will constitute an escrow fund (together with any interest accrued thereon, the “Escrow Fund”) to be governed by the terms set forth herein. The Escrow Fund will be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any claims for any Losses paid, sustained, suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article VIII (subject to the limitations set forth in Article VIII). The Escrow Agent may execute this Agreement following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, and such later execution will not affect the binding nature of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement between the other parties hereto.
(i)    Distribution of the Escrow Fund.
(vi)    Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund will be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and will terminate at 11:59 p.m., Pacific time, on the Survival Date (such period, the “Escrow Period”).
(vii)    Within three Business Days following the end of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Indemnifying Parties all (x) amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund minus (y) the amounts claimed pursuant to any unresolved claims specified in any Claim Certificate delivered prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period (“Unresolved Claims” and the sum of such amounts specified in clause “(y)” is referred to as “Unresolved Claims Amount”). At such time, the Escrow Fund will not terminate, the Escrow Agent may not disburse the Unresolved Claims Amount, and any such amount will not be distributed to the Indemnifying Parties.
(viii)    As soon as an Unresolved Claim has been resolved, Parent and the Securityholder Representative will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to deliver the portion of the Unresolved Claims Amount with respect to such Unresolved Claim, if any, not required to satisfy such Unresolved Claim (A) first, to the Securityholder Representative for any Securityholder Representative Expenses; and (B) second, to the Indemnifying Parties, as instructed by the Securityholder Representative.
(ix)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any property in the Escrow Fund deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Indemnifying Party such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of applicable Law. To the extent that such

-92-


amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity, then such amounts will be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
(x)    Deliveries of the Escrow Amount out of the Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Section 8.6 will be made in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Portions of the remaining amounts in the Escrow Fund, with the amount delivered to each Indemnifying Party rounded to the nearest 0.01 (with amounts 0.005 and above rounded up), except that any such amounts payable to holders of Company Options will be rounded down to the nearest cent. If the sum of the Pro Rata Portions, each rounded to the nearest 0.01 (with amounts 0.005 and above rounded up), does not equal the remaining amounts in the Escrow Fund, then the appropriate amount will be added to or subtracted from the Indemnifying Party with the greatest Pro Rata Portion such that the sum of the rounded Pro Rata Portions does equal the remaining amount in the Escrow Fund.
(j)    Protection of the Escrow Fund; Tax Reporting.
(iii)    The Escrow Agent will (A) hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, (B) treat the Escrow Fund as trust funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (C) hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms of this Article VIII and Section 2.10. The parties hereto agree that Parent is the owner of the cash in the Escrow Fund and that all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned from the investment of such cash in the Escrow Fund pursuant to this Agreement will be treated for tax purposes as earned by Parent. The Escrow Agent will pay to Parent out of the Escrow Fund, on or before the 10th day following the end of each calendar quarter during the Escrow Period, a distribution equal to 20% of the amount of such taxable income treated for tax purposes as earned by Parent.
(iv)    Each of Parent and, prior to the Closing, the Company and, after the Closing, the Securityholder Representative will use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Indemnifying Party to provide to the Escrow Agent any necessary Tax forms, including a duly executed Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar form reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent, but the Escrow Agent will rely upon (and obtain copies from Parent as necessary, to the extent that Parent has received such forms prior to the Closing) all tax forms used and collected by Parent in connection with payments made in connection with the Closing pursuant to Section 2.10(b).
(v)    Any cash in the Escrow Fund must be invested in Permitted Investments as determined from time to time by Parent and the Securityholder Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of written instructions to the contrary, funds will be invested in the Escrow Agent’s Money Market Deposit Account as more fully described in Exhibit I. Any interest paid on the Escrow Amount will be added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof and available for satisfaction of claims. The Escrow Agent will have no liability for any investment losses, including any market loss for any investment liquidated prior to maturity in order to make a payment required hereunder. For all U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax reporting and withholding purposes, the Indemnifying Parties will not be treated as having received or

-93-


contributed any cash portion of the Escrow Amount, or as owners of any portion of the Escrow Amount, including any interest or other income or gains from investment of the Escrow Amount, until it is released and distributed to them. Parent will be treated as the owner of the Escrow Fund for tax purposes and will report any income earned by the Escrow Fund, until the Escrow Fund, if any, is distributed to the Indemnifying Parties. Any cash and any income earned thereon released to the Indemnifying Parties from the Escrow Fund will be (A) treated as additional consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement and (B) composed of an interest element and a principal element, the interest element to be computed and reported in accordance with the imputed interest rules of the Code, which Parent will provide to the Escrow Agent prior to each distribution from the Escrow Fund.
(vi)    In the absence of proper Tax documentation or as required by Law, the Escrow Agent will withhold such Taxes as are required by applicable Law and will remit such Taxes to the appropriate authorities. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that (A) there is no sale or transfer of a United States Real Property Interest as defined under Section 897(c) of the Code in the underlying transaction giving rise to this Agreement; and (B) except as provided in the Spreadsheet, no Indemnifying Party is subject to withholding on payments made in connection with the Merger, other than backup withholding on failure to provide any required tax documentation. The Indemnifying Parties agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from any liability or obligation on account of Taxes, assessments, additions for late payment, interest, penalties, expenses and other governmental charges that may be assessed or asserted against the Escrow Agent in connection with or relating to any payment made or other activities performed under the terms of this Agreement, including any liability for the withholding or deduction of (or the failure to withhold or deduct) the same, and any liability for failure to obtain proper certifications or to report properly to governmental authorities in connection with this Agreement, including costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), interest and penalties, except to the extent that such amounts relate to the Escrow Agent’s fraud, intentional misrepresentation or gross negligence, failure to withhold or failure to perform any backup withholding. The foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless will survive the termination of this Agreement.
(k)    Escrow Agent’s Duties.
(vi)    The Escrow Agent will be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and as set forth in any additional joint written escrow instructions that are delivered to the Escrow Agent after the date of this Agreement that are signed by the Securityholder Representative and an officer of Parent, and may rely and will be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent will not have any implied duties or fiduciary or discretionary duties of any kind. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Escrow Agent while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel will be conclusive evidence of such good faith.
(vii)    Except as set forth herein, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all notices, orders or warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other Person, other than orders or process of courts of law, and is hereby expressly authorized

-94-


to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court, awards of arbitrators and joint written instructions executed by Parent and the Securityholder Representative. If the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, award of arbitrator or joint written instructions, then the Escrow Agent will not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other Person by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment, decree or award being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.
(viii)    The Escrow Agent will not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.
(ix)    The Escrow Agent will not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.
(x)    In performing any duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent will not be liable to any party for damages, losses or expenses, except as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent will not incur any such liability for (A) any act or failure to act made or omitted in good faith; or (B) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written statement or affidavit provided for in this Agreement, that the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine; or (C) forgeries, fraud, intentional misrepresentation or impersonations by any Person other than the Escrow Agent, or determining the scope of any representative authority. In addition, the Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel in connection with performing the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement and will be fully protected in any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel. The Escrow Agent is not responsible for determining or verifying the authority of any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any party hereto.
(xi)    If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other Person, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement or its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent may hold all documents and the Escrow Fund and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion, may be required, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for damages. Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, file an action of interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and the Escrow Amounts held in escrow, except all costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action (the “Agent Interpleader Expenses”), and that the parties agree to pay the Agent Interpleader Expenses as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid by the Indemnifying Parties on the basis of the Indemnifying Parties’ respective Pro Rata Portions. In the event any Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses, then Parent may at its option pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader

-95-


Expenses and recover an equal amount from such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent will be fully released and discharged of and from all obligations and liability imposed by the terms of this Agreement.
(xii)    Parent and the Indemnifying Parties and their respective successors and assigns agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, agent and affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Agent Indemnified Parties”) harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, attorney’s fees, including allocated costs of in house counsel and disbursements that may be imposed on or incurred by any of the Agent Indemnified Parties arising from or in connection with the performance or failure of performance of Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving its subject matter (the “Agent Indemnification Expenses”) as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid by the Indemnifying Parties on the basis of each Indemnifying Party’s respective Pro Rata Portions; provided, however, that no Agent Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent. In the event that any Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses, then Parent may at its option pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses and recover an equal amount from such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund.
(xiii)    The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at least 30 days written notice to Parent and the Securityholder Representative, but no such resignation will become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent by the joint agreement of Parent and the Securityholder Representative. The successor escrow agent will execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment, and it will, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as escrow agent. Upon appointment of a successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent will be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement, but the provisions hereunder shall inure to the Escrow Agent’s benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the escrow agent hereunder.
(l)    Fees and Expenses. Parent will pay all initial setup and ongoing maintenance fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Escrow Agent for performance of its duties hereunder in accordance with the standard fee schedule of the Escrow Agent. It is understood that the fees and usual charges agreed upon for services of the Escrow Agent will be considered compensation for ordinary services as contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that (i) the conditions of this Agreement are not promptly fulfilled, (ii) the Escrow Agent renders any service not provided for in this Agreement but that has been requested by an officer of Parent, (iii) the parties request a substantial modification of the terms of this Agreement or (iv) any controversy arises, or if the Escrow Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to the Escrow Fund or its subject matter, then the Escrow Agent will be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary

-96-


services and reimbursed for all costs, attorney’s fees, including allocated costs of in house counsel, and expenses occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation.
(m)    Successor Escrow Agents. Any Person into which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity is a party, or any Person to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, will be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.
8.7    Securityholder Representative.
(r)    Terms of Appointment. By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Indemnifying Parties, each of the Indemnifying Parties will be deemed to have agreed to appoint the Securityholder Representative as his, her or its exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Securityholder Representative with full power and authority to act for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties to (i) give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a); (ii) object to such payments; (iii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and request mediation as provided in this Agreement and comply with orders of courts and awards of mediators with respect to such claims; (iv) assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and request mediation and comply with orders of courts and awards of mediators with respect to, any other claim or dispute by any Indemnified Party against any Indemnifying Party or by any Indemnifying Party against any Indemnified Party; and (v) execute and deliver all documents necessary or appropriate in the sole opinion of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, each Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have agreed to authorize the Securityholder Representative to take all other actions that are either (A) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (B) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholder Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Indemnified Parties, except as expressly provided herein, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Securityholder Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Letter. The Securityholder Representative may resign at any time. Such agency may be changed by the Indemnifying Parties from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Parent, but the Securityholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, voting together as a single class, agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy in the position of Securityholder Representative may be filled by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, voting together as a single class. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement. No bond

-97-


will be required of the Securityholder Representative. After the Closing, notices or communications to or from the Securityholder Representative will constitute notice to or from the Indemnifying Parties.
(s)    Advisory Group; Securityholder Representative Expenses. Certain Indemnified Parties have entered into an engagement agreement with the Securityholder Representative to provide direction to the Securityholder Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement (such Indemnified Parties, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Securityholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Securityholder Representative Group”), will be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder or under any Securityholder Representative engagement agreement as Securityholder Representative while acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Indemnifying Parties will severally and not jointly (based on their Pro Rata Portion) indemnify and defend the Securityholder Representative and hold the Securityholder Representative harmless against any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fees, costs or expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and all expenses with respect to document location, duplication and shipment and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Securityholder Representative (collectively, “Securityholder Representative Expenses”), in each case as such Securityholder Representative Expense is suffered or incurred. If any Securityholder Representative Expense is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, then the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Securityholder Representative Expenses to the extent attributable to such bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Securityholder Representative by the Indemnifying Parties, any such Securityholder Representative Expenses will be recovered by the Securityholder Representative first, from the Expense Fund and second, from, if then available after satisfaction of all claims of an Indemnified Party, the amounts in the Escrow Fund prior to any distribution thereof to the Indemnifying Parties. Although the Securityholder Representative Expenses may be paid from the Escrow Fund, this does not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Securityholder Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Securityholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Securityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Furthermore, the Securityholder Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Securityholder Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Securityholder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Securityholder Representative in performing such actions.

(t)    Upon the Closing, Parent shall wire to the Securityholder Representative $150,000 (the “Expense Fund Amount”). The Expense Fund Amount shall be held by the Securityholder Representative as agent and for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties in a segregated client account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Securityholder Representative for any Securityholder Representative Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement or any Securityholder Representative letter agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group (the “Expense Fund”). The Securityholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations hereunder. As soon as reasonably determined by the Securityholder Representative that the Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Securityholder Representative shall distribute the remaining Expense Fund (if any) to the Escrow Agent (or directly to the Paying Agent or Parent if so instructed) for further distribution to the Indemnified Parties. The Expense Fund Amount shall be considered a Third Party Expense.
(u)    The Indemnifying Parties acknowledge and agree that the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Securityholder Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Indemnified Party and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Indemnified Party of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Fund. Any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3 and Section 9.4, will constitute a decision of the Indemnifying Parties and will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Indemnifying Parties and such Indemnified Party’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Indemnified Party, and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Indemnifying Parties. The Escrow Agent and Parent 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 Securityholder Representative. The Securityholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Spreadsheet, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party or other party. All defenses which may be available to any Indemnified Party to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Securityholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement are waived.

No delay or failure by any party hereto to assert any of its rights or remedies will constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies.

10.2    Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement and any amendments may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to email (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
10.3    Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries; Assignment. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Management Incentive Plan and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior Contracts among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; (b) are not intended to, and will not, confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, other than (i) as set forth in Section 6.18, (ii) the Indemnifying Parties and (iii) the Indemnified Parties and the Agent Indemnified Parties with respect to the rights under Article VIII; and (c) will not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise, except that Parent may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates so long as Parent remains ultimately liable for all of Parent’s obligations hereunder.
10.4    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
10.5    Other Remedies. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and specifically subject to Section 8.3(f), any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
10.6    Governing Law. This Agreement is governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware.
10.7    Dispute Resolution. The parties hereto agree that any legal proceeding by or against any party hereto or with respect to or arising out of this Agreement may be brought exclusively in

-103-


any state or federal court located in New Castle County, Delaware. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and to the appellate courts therefrom solely for the purposes of disputes arising under the this Agreement and not as a general submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other Claim. The parties hereto irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such party to which notices are deliverable hereunder. Any such service of process will be effective upon delivery. Nothing herein will affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. The parties hereto waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (a) any Claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts for any reason, or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process; (b) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts; or (c) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.
10.8    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
10.9    USA Patriot Act Compliance. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person, the Escrow Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses and identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the Person or other relevant documentation. The parties hereto each agree to provide all such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent to ensure compliance with federal law.
10.10    Escrow Security Procedures.
(c)    Security Procedures. Parent and the Securityholder Representative will each deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate naming the officers who have the authority to execute and amend this Agreement. Exhibit J names the authorized representatives who are authorized to provide disbursement instructions with respect to the Escrow Fund, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer or authorized representative. In the event funds transfer instructions are given, whether in writing or by fax, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to one or more of the persons designated in Schedule 10.10 who is different from the person who gave the transfer instruction, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone

-104-


purporting to be the person so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer to Parent may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Parent to identify (i) the beneficiary; (ii) the beneficiary’s bank; or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent may apply any of the Escrow Fund for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number in a manner consistent with the written instructions from (A) Parent, to the extent that it relates to payments to Parent; or (B) the Securityholder Representative, to the extent that it relates to payments to the Securityholder Representative or the Indemnifying Parties. Parent and the Securityholder Representative each acknowledge that the security procedures set forth in this Section 10.10 are commercially reasonable.
(d)    Disbursement to Parent. Unless the Escrow Agent is otherwise instructed in writing by Parent, Parent acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is authorized to use the funds transfer instructions to disburse any funds due to Parent under this Agreement as set forth on Exhibit J.
10.11    Waiver of Conflicts. Parent agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation not to assert, any attorney-client privilege with respect to communications between Cooley LLP (“Cooley”) and any officer, director or employee of the Company (a) related to the Merger and (b) occurring prior to the Closing, other than in the case of fraud in the event of a reasonable determination by Parent that fraud exists independent of such attorney client privilege, it being the intention of the parties hereto that such attorney-client-privilege shall be deemed to be the right of, and retained by, the Company Securityholders, and not that of the Surviving Corporation, following the Closing; provided that the foregoing shall in no event limit or otherwise affect the Surviving Corporation’s right to assert any attorney-client privilege with respect to any such communication against any Person other than any stockholder, officer, director or employee of the Company prior to the Closing.

FOSSIL GROUP, INC. TO ACQUIRE WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATOR MISFIT

Acquisition of Leading Technology Platform and World-class Engineering Team

Richardson, Texas, November 12, 2015 – Fossil Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOSL) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Misfit, Inc., an innovator in wearable technology and stylish connected devices. The acquisition will enable Fossil Group to expand its addressable market, offering consumers both traditional timepieces and fashionable connected accessories. Misfit brings to Fossil Group a scalable cloud and app platform, a world-class software and hardware engineering team, a native wearable technology brand and a pipeline of innovative products.

“We have a significant opportunity to add technology and connectivity across our platform of watches and accessories,” said Kosta Kartsotis, chief executive officer of Fossil Group. “With the acquisition of Misfit, Fossil Group will be uniquely positioned to lead the convergence of style and technology and to become the fashion gateway to the high-growth wearable technology and connected device markets.”   

The acquisition will enable Fossil Group to:
Own a technology platform that has already solved many of the hardest problems in wearables, including battery life.
Scale Misfit’s technology across Fossil, Skagen and a targeted portion of its portfolio of 16 brands in 2016, ultimately accelerating the company’s connected accessory roadmap.
Expand its addressable market with new distribution channels, new products, new brands and new enterprise partnerships, including music, fitness, healthcare and digital entities.
Lead in the connected devices space by harnessing the power of a world-class software and hardware engineering team spearheaded by Misfit Founder, Sonny Vu.
“We fundamentally believe consumers care about both technical functionality and fashionable design. In fact, one without the other is simply not enough. With the acquisition of Misfit, Fossil Group will be positioned to win with the connected consumer,” said Greg McKelvey, chief strategy and digital officer of Fossil Group. “Our world-class design and global distribution, combined with Misfit’s technology platform, creates a significantly advantaged, multi‐brand and global wearable technology business poised to drive the convergence of fashion and technology.”

“We are thrilled to join forces with Fossil Group to usher in the next era of wearables where elegance, beauty and long-lasting wearability are paramount,” said Sonny Vu, founder and chief executive officer of Misfit. “Together, we will introduce products that blend Misfit’s seamless, intuitive technology and user experience with the design, style and branding that is the hallmark of Fossil Group.” 

Transaction Details
Fossil Group expects the acquisition to close before the end of fiscal 2015, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval. The purchase price of $260 million, including transaction costs, will be funded through a combination of cash on hand and bank debt.

Sonny Vu will serve as president and chief technology officer of connected devices for Fossil Group, Inc., and will be a member of the company’s executive leadership team.
