9. INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLER AND CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDER.
9.1 Indemnification.
(a) Seller and Controlling Stockholder (collectively, the "Selling
Parties") hereby agree jointly and severally to indemnify, defend, and
hold Purchaser and each of its officers and directors (collectively with
Purchaser, the "Purchasing Parties") harmless from and against the amount
of any damage, loss, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and settlement costs) to Purchasing Parties ("Loss") occasioned or
caused by, resulting from, or arising out of:
(i) Any failure by a Selling Party to perform, abide by, or
fulfill any of the agreements, covenants, or obligations set forth
in or entered into, in this Agreement ( with the exclusion of the
Employment Letter attached hereto as Exhibit A) to be so performed
or fulfilled by such Selling Party.
(ii) Any material inaccuracy in or breach of any of the
representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, or any
certificate or Schedule or other writing furnished pursuant hereto.
(iii) Any failure on the part of Purchaser to withhold from
the Purchase Price any amount due by either Seller to any
governmental authority or other person that results in a loss to
Purchaser.
The amount of any Loss shall be the amount of cash reimbursement or
set-off when received by the Purchasing Party or Purchasing Parties incurring
such loss, shall place such Purchasing Party or Purchasing Parties in the same
financial position it or they would have been in if such Loss has not occurred;
provided, however, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no
indemnification shall be payable by Selling Parties except to the extent that
the total of claims for indemnification by Purchasing Parties shall exceed ten
thousand dollars ($10,000) (the "Threshold") (such amount being a threshold
amount versus merely a deductible). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall Selling Parties' liability under this Section 9.1 exceed an amount equal
to the Purchase Price. To the extent that a Loss under this Article 9 is as a
result of a claim by a person not a party to this Agreement, the Loss will only
be reimbursed to the Purchasing Party to the extent that the Purchasing Party is
the prevailing party.
9.2 Notice of Claim. Purchasing Parties shall give prompt written notice
to Selling Parties of any claim (actual or threatened) or other event that in
the judgment of either Purchasing Party might result or has resulted in a Loss
by a Purchasing Party hereunder, and Selling Parties shall have the right to
assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided
that counsel for the Selling Parties, who shall conduct the defense of such
claim (actual, threatened, or asserted) or litigation, shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchasing Parties, and Purchasing Parties may participate
in such defense at their expense, and provided, further, that the omission by
Purchasing Parties to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve Selling
Parties of their obligations hereunder except to the extent that the omission
results in a failure of actual notice to the Selling Parties and Selling Parties
are damaged solely as a result of the failure to give notice. No Selling Party,
in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent
of each Purchasing Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or decree or
enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to Purchasing Parties of a release from
all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, and no Selling Party shall
have liability with respect to any payment made by a Purchasing Party in
connection with the settlement, satisfaction, or compromise of any claim unless
the Selling Parties shall have approved thereof in advance in writing, which
approval shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. If the Purchasing
Parties shall not have received notice that the Selling Parties shall assume the
defense of such claim within twenty (20) days after the notice is sent to the
Selling Parties of the existence of such claim, the Purchasing Parties shall be
7
free to proceed with the defense of such claim. Each such notice shall be
accompanied (or followed as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the
amount of such Loss becomes determinable) by a certificate signed by the
President of Purchaser or such officer or director as the case may be, and
setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such Loss in
accordance with the provisions hereof, and accompanied by copies of all relevant
documents and records. The omission to give such notice or provide such
certificate by Purchasing Parties shall not relieve Selling Parties of their
obligation under this Section 9.2 except to the extent such omission results in
a failure of actual notice to the Selling Parties and Selling Parties are
damaged solely by such failure to give notice. No Loss shall be considered to
have occurred with respect to any payment made by any Purchasing Parties in
settlement, satisfaction, or compromise of any claim unless the Selling Parties
shall have approved thereof in advance and in writing. Prior to filing any
action in law in any court, the Purchasing Parties agree to submit a Claim to
nonbinding mediation in San Diego, California within three (3) months of the
date of the Claim; provided, however, that if the statute of limitations for a
Claim is about to expire, the Purchasing Parties may file a lawsuit if the
Selling Parties have not signed a tolling agreement of the statute of
limitations.
10. BROKERAGE FEE.
Seller and Controlling Stockholder and Purchaser each represent that no
broker has been involved in this transaction and each party agrees to indemnify
and hold the others harmless from payment of any brokerage fee, finder's fee, or
commission claimed by any party who claims to have been involved because of
association with such party.
11. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.
8
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties related to
the subject matter of this Agreement, supersedes all prior or contemporary
agreements, representations, warranties, covenants, and understandings of the
parties. This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change,
modification, consent, or discharge be affected, except by an instrument in
writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any
amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent, or discharge is sought.
Any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of
any covenant, representation, or warranty contained herein, in any one instance,
shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing
waiver of such term, condition, or breach of covenant, representation, or
warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require
performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any
manner such party's right at a later time to enforce or require performance of
such provision or of any other provision hereof; and no such written waiver,
unless it, by its own terms, explicitly provides to the contrary, shall be
construed to effect a continuing waiver of the provision being waived and no
such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance or
for any other purpose or impair the right of the party against whom such waiver
is claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to require full
compliance with such provision.
12. ASSIGNMENT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party without the written
consent of the others. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.
13. SEVERABILITY.
If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be, or shall be
found to be, invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable as applied to any particular
case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all
cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any constitution or statute
or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not
have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid,
inoperative, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or
circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained
invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions
are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute, or rule
of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such
jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable provision
had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be
valid, operative, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such
jurisdiction or in such case.
14. COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument, and in pleading or proving any provision of this Agreement
it shall not be necessary to produce more than one such counterpart. Delivery of
executed copies of this Agreement by facsimile will constitute proper delivery,
provided that originally executed counterparts are delivered to the parties
within a reasonable time thereafter.
