aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000. Additionally, at the Closing, Maxtor
agrees to waive and deem as canceled any such intercompany advances or
expenditures that exceed $1,000,000; provided, however, that in the event that
the Closing is delayed beyond June 30, 1996, and the $1,000,000 limitation will

Maxtor, the Investors and the Company shall negotiate in good faith as to any

Company facility to conduct such inspections and tests and taking such soil and
groundwater samples as it shall deem necessary, and (ii) shall have access to

relating to the Environmental Matters. If such investigation discloses any
Matter which violates a representation set forth in the Redemption Agreement or
which, in the discretion of the Investors could aversely affect the Company or
its operations, then the Investors shall so notify Maxtor. Thereafter, Maxtor
and the Investors shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter to the
satisfaction of both parties. If no resolution of the matter acceptable to the

limitation): (i) the Closing and the sale of the Securities to the Investors,
(ii) the sale by Maxtor of shares in the Company to the Company; and (iii) the
sale or dissolution of any party to this Agreement or the Redemption Agreement,
and (except for those set forth in Sections 2.1, 3.1, 3.3, 3.14, 3.17, 3.21 and
5.7 of the Redemption Agreement and incorporated in this Agreement) shall expire
on the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Those representations and
warranties set forth in Sections 3.14 and 3.17 of the Redemption Agreement shall
survive until 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations period, and the representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations set forth in Sections 2.1, 3.1, 3.3, 3.21 and 5.7 of the Redemption
Agreement shall survive for an unlimited period of time. No Indemnitee shall be
entitled to indemnification resulting from the Breach of a representation,
warranty, covenant or obligation of Maxtor unless Maxtor has received during the
applicable survival period a Claim Notice.
-18-
19
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Claim Notice relating to any
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation is given to Maxtor on or prior
to the second anniversary of the Closing Date (or such longer survival period as
applicable), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
7.1(a), such representation or warranty shall not so expire solely with respect
to such claim, but rather shall remain in full force and effect until such time
as each and every claim specifically set forth in such Claim Notice has been
fully and finally resolved, either by means of a written settlement agreement
executed on behalf of Maxtor and the Company or by means of a final,
non-appealable judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement and the Redemption Agreement, a
"Claim Notice" relating to a particular representation or warranty shall be
deemed to have been given if any Indemnitee, acting in good faith, delivers to
Maxtor a written notice stating that such Indemnitee believes that there is or
has been a possible Breach of a representation or warranty and containing (i) a
brief description, providing reasonable detail, of the circumstances supporting
such Indemnitee's belief that there is or has been such a possible Breach, and
(ii) a non-binding, preliminary estimate of the aggregate dollar amount of the
actual and potential c that have arisen and may arise as a direct or indirect
result of such possible Breach.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, each representation, warranty
covenant or obligation of Maxtor in the Redemption Agreement and each statement
or other item of information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or in any
update to the Disclosure Schedule (to the extent such update is accepted by the
Investors as contemplated by Section 5.3 of the Redemption Agreement) shall be
deemed to be a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Maxtor in
this Agreement.
(e) Promptly after any Indemnitee (A) receives notice of any claim
or Damages or the commencement of any action or proceedings against it, (B) has
knowledge of any claim, Damages, action or proceeding against it, or (C) has
knowledge of any matter or Damages for which it intends to seek indemnification
hereunder, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for reimbursement with respect
thereto is to be made against Maxtor hereunder, give to Maxtor a Claim Notice
relating to the possible Breach or the commencement of the action or proceeding;
provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the
indemnification hereunder except to the extent that Maxtor (X) is unable to
defend or verify such claim solely as a result of such failure to notify or (Y)
is required to pay a greater amount or incurs additional expense with respect
thereto solely as a result of such failure to notify and then only to the extent
of such excess.
7.2 Indemnification By Maxtor.
(a) Maxtor shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Indemnitees
from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Indemnitees
for, any Damages that are suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees or to
which any of the Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at any time
(regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and
that arise from or as a result of, or are connected with:
-19-
20
(i) Any Breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or obligations made by Maxtor in the Redemption Agreement (after
giving effect to any update to the Disclosure Schedule) or in the Closing
Certificate thereto, other than the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.14 of the Redemption Agreement, which shall be covered exclusively
under Section 11.2 of the Redemption Agreement;
(ii) Any Breach of any representation, warranty, statement,
information or provision contained in the Disclosure Schedule (after giving
effect to any update to the Disclosure Schedule) or in any other document
delivered or otherwise made available to the Investors, the Company or any of
their Representatives by or on behalf of Maxtor or any Representative of Maxtor,
other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.14 of the
Redemption Agreement, which shall be covered exclusively under Section 11.2 of
the Redemption Agreement; or
(iii) Any Proceeding relating to any Breach, alleged Breach,
Liability or matter of the type referred to in clauses "(i)" and "(ii)" above
(including any Proceeding commenced by any Indemnitee for the purpose of
enforcing any of its rights under this Section 7).
(b) Maxtor shall not be required to make any indemnification payment
pursuant to Section 7.2(a) for any Breach of any of its representations and
warranties (other than Breach of the representations and warranties contained in
Sections 2.1, 3.1, 3.3, 3.21, 3.27 and 5.7 of the Redemption Agreement) until
such time as, and only to the extent that, the total amount of all Damages
(including the Damages arising from such Breach and all other Damages arising
from any other Breaches of its representations or warranties) that have been
directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by Indemnitees, or to which
Indemnitees have otherwise become subject, equals or exceeds the amount of
$500,000 in the aggregate, in which case Maxtor will be liable for all such
Damages including the first $500,000. The aggregate indemnification payments
that Maxtor is required to make pursuant to Section 7.2(a) shall in no event
exceed $17,500,000 (except in the case of a Breach of the representations and
warranties contained in Sections 3.14, 3.17 and 5.7 of the Redemption Agreement
in which case there shall be no maximum). In the event that the Company actually
recovers amounts under insurance policies with respect to any loss (offset by
any increase in insurance premiums or other insurance costs as a result of any
claim with respect to any loss) or actually realizes a Tax benefit arising from
the incurrence or payment of a loss, each as set forth in the definition of
"Damages" in Section 1.1 of the Redemption Agreement, following Maxtor's payment
of any Claim to which such insurance recovery or Tax benefit relates, Maxtor
shall be promptly reimbursed by the party or parties indemnified (on a pro-rata
basis) for the amount recovered or benefit realized. Maxtor shall not be
required to pay any Claim more than once and in the event that a dispute arises
between or among Indemnitees over payment of a Claim, Maxtor shall pay to the
Company the amount claimed or the amount determined pursuant to Section 7.5
hereof and shall have no further liability with respect to such Claim.
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that notwithstanding the fact
that an Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, such Indemnitee is entitled
to the benefits of and to enforce all provisions hereof as an intended third
party hereof.
-20-
21
(d) The amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided
under this Section 7.2 shall be net of any amounts recovered or recoverable by
the Company or the Indemnitees under insurance policies.
(e) Any amount payable by Maxtor pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall
be reduced by any reduction in the income tax liability of the Company as a
result of the payment or incurrence of Damages giving rise to such indemnity
payment; provided that in computing any such reduction in Income Tax Liability,
it shall be assumed that the Company (i) is subject to federal, state and local
income tax at the highest marginal statutory rates (with respect to the income
tax returns on which such reduction in income tax liability is reported) and
(ii) has sufficient income to utilize any deductions, credits (other than
foreign tax credits, the use of which shall be determined on an actual basis)
and other Tax benefits arising from such payment of Damages.
(f) Maxtor, the Company and the other Indemnitees agree to treat any
payment of Damages pursuant to this Section 7.2 as a purchase price adjustment
with respect to both the redemption of the Company's stock held by Maxtor and
the purchase of the Company's stock by the Indemnitees. However, to the extent
any such payment is properly characterized by Maxtor as a deduction on its
income tax returns and by the Indemnitees as taxable income on their income tax
returns, and the payment does not represent reimbursement of expenses of the
Indemnitees which are or were deductions on their income tax returns, the amount
of such payment shall be increased by the deemed increase in income tax
liability of the Indemnitees. In computing the deemed increase in income tax
liability, it shall be assumed that the Indemnitees are subject to federal,
state and local income tax at the highest marginal statutory rates (with respect
to the income tax return on which such income is reported, and taking into
account the deductibility of state and local taxes for federal income tax
purposes).
(g) Maxtor agrees to indemnify, compensate and reimburse each of the
Indemnitees for any Damages exceeding $50,000HK that are suffered or incurred by
any of the Indemnitees or to which any of the Indemnitees may otherwise become
subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any
third-party claim) and that arise from or as a result of, or are connected with
the HK Government Claim referred to in Part 3.17 of the Disclosure Schedule to
the Redemption Agreement. Maxtor shall further defend, indemnify and hold
harmless each of the Indemnitees from any and all Damages arising out of or in
connection with any and all claims for any and all personal injuries sustained
as a result of the Cleaning Matter referred to in part 3.17 Disclosure Schedule.
Maxtor's indemnification obligations under this Section 7.2(g) are exclusive of
and not subject to the $500,000 threshold for indemnification set forth in
Section 7.2(b) above.
7.3 Exclusivity. The indemnification remedies and other remedies provided
in this Section 7 shall be the sole and exclusive right and remedy exercisable
by the Indemnitees or their permitted assigns with respect to the matters
described in Section 7.2(a) and the indemnification remedies and other remedies
set forth in Section 11.2 of the Redemption Agreement shall be the sole and
exclusive right and remedy exercisable by the Indemnitees or their permitted
assigns with respect to the breach of representations and warranties set forth
in Section 3.14 of the Redemption Agreement.
-21-
22
7.4 Defense Of Third Party Claims.
(a) In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of
any claim or Proceeding (whether against the Company, against any Indemnitee or
against any other Person) with respect to which Maxtor may become obligated to
indemnify, hold harmless, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to
this Section 7 or Section 11.2 of the Redemption Agreement, the party hereto who
becomes aware of such claim or Proceeding promptly shall notify the other party,
and the parties shall cooperate in investigating the claim or Proceeding and
determining the appropriate response.
(b) Maxtor shall have the right to compromise or defend, at its own
expense and by its counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of
the Indemnitee; provided, however, that:
(i) no compromise of any claim shall be made without the
consent of the Indemnitee, unless such compromise results in the full and
unconditional release of all claims against the Indemnitee by the party
asserting such claim; and
(ii) if the Company or the Indemnitee reasonably determines
that the matter is likely to involve (A) a compromise of any right by the
Company or the Indemnitee or otherwise involve interests significant to the
continuing operation of the Company and/or to the Indemnitee or (B) claims in
excess of Maxtor's maximum liability under this Section 7 (taking into account
all potential liabilities of Maxtor as a result of other claims made hereunder),
then the counsel chosen by Maxtor shall be subject to the approval of the
Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The opportunity to compromise or defend, as herein provided, shall be a
condition precedent to any liability of Maxtor under the provisions hereof. If
Maxtor shall undertake to compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it
shall promptly notify the Indemnitee of its intention to do so. The Indemnitee,
at Maxtor's expense, shall cooperate with Maxtor and its Representatives in the
defense against any such asserted liability and in any compromise thereof. Such
cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnitee with
any books, records or information reasonably requested by Maxtor. After Maxtor
has notified the Indemnitee of its intention to undertake to compromise or
defend any such asserted liability, Maxtor shall not be liable for any
additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnitee (except as provided below)
and the Indemnitee shall be indemnified by Maxtor for the amount of any judgment
or settlement and for all Damages incurred by Maxtor in connection with the
defense or settlement of such claim. In addition, Maxtor shall keep the
Indemnitee informed of all material developments and events relating to such
claim and in the event a settlement, adjustment or compromise involves any
compromise of any right of the Company or the Indemnitee, then Maxtor shall not
do so without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and provided further that if in the reasonable judgment
of any Indemnitee a conflict of interest may exist between Maxtor and any
Indemnitees with respect to such claim, Maxtor shall be obligated to reimburse
with respect to one additional counsel for each such Indemnitee for whom such a
conflict exists. Each of the Company and the Indemnitee shall have the right to
participate in the defense of such claim at its own expense, in which case
Maxtor shall cooperate in providing information to and consulting with the
Company and/or the Indemnitee about the claim. Unless and until Maxtor assumes
the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitee may defend against or settle such
claim in such manner and on such terms
-22-
23
as it in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ appropriate, provided that the Indemnitee shall keep
Maxtor informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim,
and in the event a settlement, adjustment or compromise involves any compromise
of any right of Maxtor (other than pursuant hereto), then the Indemnitee shall
not do so without the prior written consent of Maxtor, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. No compromise of any claims shall be made without
Maxtor's consent, unless the compromise results in the full unconditional
release of all claims by the party asserting such claim. If Maxtor elects not to
assume the defense of a claim, Maxtor will not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by Maxtor with
respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnitee a
conflict of interest may exist among the respective Indemnitees with respect to
such claim, in which case Maxtor shall be obligated to reimburse with respect to
one additional counsel for each such Indemnitee with for whom such a conflict
exists.
7.5 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Within the period of thirty (30) business days following receipt
by any Claim Notice Maxtor shall have the right to deliver a notice (a "Dispute
Notice") stating that Maxtor disputes the validity or the amount specified in
such Claim Notice or any portion thereof (a "Disputed Amount") and providing in
reasonable detail the reasons therefor. In case Maxtor delivers a Claim Notice
with regard to any claim or claims by an Indemnitee made in any Claim Notice,
the Indemnitee(s) will have thirty (30) business days to respond in a written
statement to the objection of Maxtor. If after such thirty (30) business day
period there remains a dispute as to any claims, Maxtor and the Indemnitee(s)
will attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days to agree upon the rights of the
respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If Maxtor and the
Indemnitee(s) should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be
prepared and signed by both parties and any agreed upon indemnification shall be
paid promptly by Maxtor.
(b) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith
negotiation, either the Indemnitee(s) or Maxtor may, by written notice to the
other, demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss
is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration
will not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to
arbitration; and in either such event the matter will be settled by arbitration
conducted by three arbitrators.
(c) Within fifteen (15) business days after written notice demand
arbitration by one party is sent, the Indemnitee(s) (acting as one party) and
Maxtor will each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected will
select a third arbitrator. In the event either party fails to select an
arbitrator within the fifteen (15) business days after written notice is sent,
the arbitrator selected by the other party shall select the second arbitrator,
and the two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the
arbitrators as to the matter submitted will be binding and conclusive upon the
parties to this Agreement. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration will be
held in San Jose, California under the commercial rules then in effect of the
American Arbitration Association. In any arbitration hereunder, the
Indemnitee(s) will be deemed to be the Non-Prevailing Party unless the
arbitrators award the Indemnitee(s) more than one-half (1/2) of the amount in
dispute, plus any amounts not in dispute; otherwise, Maxtor will be deemed to be
the Non-Prevailing Party. The Non-Prevailing Party to an arbitration will pay
its own
-23-
24
expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative fee of the American
Arbitration Association, and the expenses, including without limitation,
attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by the other party to the arbitration.
