which, among other things, Merger Sub will be merged (the "Merger") with and
into the Company, which will be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the
"Surviving Corporation"), and the Company's shareholders (the "Shareholders")
will be entitled to receive shares of Parent's common stock, $0.001 par value
per share ("Parent Common Stock"), all in accordance with the terms, and subject
to the conditions, of the Merger Agreement.
B. Under the Merger Agreement, Parent is be indemnified for Losses (as
defined in the Merger Agreement), in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Merger Agreement.
C. Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, the two principal shareholders of
the Company (the "Principal Shareholders"), and Parent are parties to an
Indemnification and Joinder Agreement dated as of July 28, 2000 (the
"Indemnification and Joinder Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things,
the Principal Shareholders have also agreed to indemnify Parent for Losses and
have accepted the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this
Agreement.
D. The parties are entering into this Agreement to establish an escrow
to facilitate the ability of Parent to recover amounts to which it would be
entitled as a result of the Merger Agreement and the Indemnification and Joinder
Agreement.
ACCORDINGLY, in consideration of the foregoing, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, each of the parties hereby agrees as follows:
1. ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW FUND. Escrow Agent is hereby appointed
depository and agent for Parent and the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of
the Shareholders, with respect to an aggregate of 60,000 shares of Parent Common
Stock, to be deposited with Escrow Agent plus any stock dividends, stock
distribution, stock splits,
2
recapitalizations and the like made in respect thereof (collectively, the
"Escrowed Shares"). Parent will deliver to Escrow Agent a certificate or
certificates representing the Escrowed Shares, and Escrow Agent will acknowledge
receipt of such certificate(s) by executing the Receipt for Escrowed Shares
attached as ANNEX A to this Agreement (as increased by any stock dividends,
stock distributions, stock splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect
to the Escrowed Shares and as reduced by any disbursements made under Sections
3, 4 and 6, this fund is referred to as the "Escrow Fund"). Any shares of
Parent's common stock, or other securities which, by their terms, are or may be
exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for or into Parent's Common Stock that
are issued or distributed by Parent ("New Shares") in respect of the Escrowed
Shares will be added to the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that any New Shares
issued in respect of any Escrowed Shares, that prior to the time of such
issuance have been released from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, will not be added to the Escrow Fund, but will instead be
distributed by Parent to the record holders entitled thereto. Escrow Agent
hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to hold the Escrow Fund pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2. NOTICE OF CLAIMS. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the
Indemnification and Joinder Agreement, Parent is entitled to make claims for
indemnification to be paid from the Escrow Fund for Losses incurred, or
anticipated to be incurred, by Parent or Parent Indemnitees (as defined in the
Merger Agreement). If Parent asserts any claim for indemnification against the
Escrow Fund, it will deliver to Escrow Agent and the Shareholder Representative
a written notice thereof (a "Notice of Claim") setting forth (i) a demand for
payment of a specified amount from the Escrow Fund and the basis of calculation
of such amount or, if such amount cannot be specified, the basis upon which the
amount would be determined and the amount of the Escrow Fund that should be held
as security for such claim pending determination of the actual amount of the
claim (a "Security Reserve"), and (ii) a description of the asserted claim and
the basis thereof.
3. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS.
(a) If the Shareholder Representative gives notice to Parent
and Escrow Agent disputing any claim (a "Counter Notice") in its entirety within
30 days following receipt by Escrow Agent of the Notice of Claim regarding such
claim, then such claim will be resolved as provided in Section 3(c).
(b) If the Shareholder Representative gives notice to Parent
and Escrow Agent accepting all or any part of any claim within 30 days following
receipt by Escrow Agent of the Notice of Claim regarding such claim, then (i)
the dollar amount of Losses specified by Parent in its Notice of Claim, that are
agreed to by the Shareholder Representative in such written notice to Parent and
Escrow Agent, will be deemed established for purposes of this Escrow Agreement,
the Merger Agreement and the Indemnification and
3
Joinder Agreement, and the Escrow Agent will pay Parent the amount so agreed to
from the Escrow Fund, and (ii) any disputed portion of such claim will be
resolved as provided in Section 3(c). If no Counter Notice is received by Escrow
Agent within 30 days following receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Notice of
Claim regarding such claim, then the dollar amount of Losses specified by Parent
in its Notice of Claim will be deemed established for purposes of this Escrow
Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Indemnification and Joinder Agreement
and, at the end of such 30-day period, Escrow Agent will pay to Parent the
amount claimed in the Notice of Claim from the Escrow Fund. In order to so pay
Parent, Escrow Agent will return to Parent that number of shares of Parent
Common Stock equal in Value (as defined below) to the amount claimed in the
Notice of Claim. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the "Value" of a share of
Parent Common Stock will be equal to the average of the closing sale prices of a
share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the five trading
days immediately preceding the Effective Time (as defined below) and (ii) the
"Effective Time" will be the effective time of the Merger (i.e., the time of the
filing of an applicable agreement of merger with the California Secretary of
State). Escrow Agent will not inquire or be required to inquire into or consider
whether a claim complies with the requirements of, or inquire into or consider
any of the other terms and conditions of, the Merger Agreement, the
Indemnification and Joinder Agreement or any other agreement entered into in
connection therewith.
(c) If the Shareholder Representative gives a Counter Notice
with respect to a claim within the time specified in Section 3(a), Escrow Agent
will make payment with respect thereto only in accordance with (i) joint written
instructions of Parent and the Shareholder Representative, or (ii) a final
non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any court order will
be accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party reasonably
satisfactory to Escrow Agent to the effect that the order is final and
non-appealable. Escrow Agent will act on such court order and legal opinion
without further question.
(d) If Parent delivers a Notice of Claim pursuant to Section 2
for a Security Reserve, Escrow Agent will hold the Security Reserve until Parent
gives Escrow Agent and the Shareholder Representative notice of the actual
amount of the claim underlying the Security Reserve, at which time the claim
will be resolved as contemplated by Sections 3(b) and 3(c); provided, that
before such notice and resolution, the Security Reserve may be extinguished or
reduced, if at all, only in accordance with joint written instructions of Parent
and the Shareholder Representative.
4. RELEASE OF ESCROWED SHARES AND OTHER PAYMENTS BY ESCROW AGENT;
TERMINATION.
4
(a) On the first anniversary of the Effective Time, if no
claims (including Security Reserves) are then pending, Escrow Agent will release
to the Shareholder Representative that number of Escrowed Shares equal to the
difference between 30,000 less the number of Escrowed Shares previously paid to
Parent pursuant to Sections 3(b) and 3(c).
(b) On the second anniversary of the Effective Time, Escrow
Agent will release to the Shareholder Representative an amount equal to the then
remaining Escrowed Shares, if any, less that number of Escrowed Shares equal to
the total of all claims (including Security Reserves) that have not been both
(i) resolved as provided in Sections 3(b) and 3(c), and (ii) paid to Parent,
based upon the Value of the Parent Common Stock. Thereafter, upon the final
resolution of each claim, on a claim-by-claim basis, for which Escrow Agent has
received a Notice of Claim on or prior to such date or the extinguishment or
reduction of a Security Reserve as provided in Section 3(d), Escrow Agent will
distribute to Parent the amount, if any, that it is entitled to receive pursuant
to Sections 3(b) or 3(c), and to the Shareholder Representative the balance,
less that number of Escrowed Shares equal to the total of all claims (including
Security Reserves) that have not been both (i) resolved as provided in Sections
3(b) and 3(c), and (ii) paid to Parent, based upon the Value of the Parent
Common Stock.
(c) In the event that Parent and the Shareholder
Representative agree that the Principal Shareholders have collectively satisfied
claims in an amount equal to the maximum liability of the Principal Shareholders
under the Indemnification and Joinder Agreement, Parent and the Shareholder
Representative will issue joint written instructions to Escrow Agent, who will
then immediately release the Escrowed Shares attributable to the Principal
Shareholders to the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Principal
Shareholders (and the Shareholder Representative will distribute such shares to
the Principal Shareholders entitled thereto).
(d) This Agreement will terminate and Escrow Agent will have
no further responsibilities hereunder once the Escrow Fund has been distributed
by Escrow Agent and its fees and expenses have been paid.
(e) Any cash dividends declared and paid by Parent on the
Escrowed Shares will be delivered to Escrow Agent as the record holder of the
Escrowed Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after such receipt, Escrow
Agent will pay such dividends to the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the
Shareholders (and the Shareholder Representative will distribute such dividends
to the Shareholders entitled thereto). At anytime, during which Escrowed Shares
are being held in escrow, that the stockholders of Parent are entitled to vote
on any matter, Escrow Agent will vote such share as instructed in writing by the
Shareholder Representative as agent for the Shareholders.
5
(f) If at any time, Escrow Agent must deliver less than all
the Escrowed Shares to Parent under this Agreement and Escrow Agent does not
have certificates evidencing such number of shares, Parent agrees that upon
delivery by Escrow Agent of certificates evidencing a larger number of Escrowed
Shares, duly endorsed for transfer, Parent will subtract the appropriate number
of shares from the number of shares evidenced by the delivered stock
certificates, issue new certificates for the difference and return the new
certificates to Escrow Agent.

with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Escrow Agent may act upon any instrument or other writing
