Seller has the unencumbered right to use, and to sell to Buyer in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, all of the Purchased Assets

Purchased Assets and the Proprietary Materials constitute all of the assets,
properties, rights, privileges and interests which Seller either owns or
controls, or uses or holds for use exclusively in connection with the Business

9
or any claims of default or claims of nonenforceability by the other party or
parties under or with respect to any of Assigned Contracts which, individually
or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business, and
there are no facts or conditions to Seller's Knowledge that have occurred or
that are anticipated to occur which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, would constitute a default by Seller, or to Seller's Knowledge, by the
other party or parties under any of the Assigned Contracts or would cause a
creation or imposition of any Encumbrance upon any of the Purchased Assets or
otherwise would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business.
(b) Schedule 4.6(b) to Seller's Disclosure Schedule contains a list
-----------------------------------------------
of all of the contracts, agreements, indentures, notes, leases and other
instruments or commitments, written or oral, which are related to any of the
Purchased Assets, the Assumed Obligations or the Business or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

hereby will not alter or impair the validity of any such copyrights or copyright
registrations.
(d) No claims have been asserted against Seller by any person
challenging Seller's use or distribution (including manufacture, marketing
license or sale) of any Intellectual Property Rights or challenging or
questioning the validity or effectiveness of
10
any license or agreement relating thereto. To Seller's Knowledge, there is no
valid basis for any claim of the type specified in this Section 4.7(d).
(e) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) breach, violate or conflict with
any instrument, agreement or other right governing any of the Intellectual
Property Rights or portion thereof, (ii) cause the forfeiture or termination, or
give rise to a right of forfeiture or termination, of any Intellectual Property
Rights or portion thereof, (iii) in any way impair the right of Buyer to use
(including distribute, manufacture, marketing, license, sale or other

Buyer. Seller shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain,

in accordance with Section 13.3 on or prior to the expiration of any applicable
time period related to such representation and warranty set out in Article 8);

breach of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in Section 4.10
or is disclosed in this Agreement or Seller's Disclosure Schedule, provided that

13.3 Notice of Claim. In the event that any party (the "Indemnified
---------------
Party") shall assert a First Party Claim or become aware of any Third Party
Claim in respect of which another party (the "Indemnifying Party") agreed to
indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified
Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice
shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim asserted by a
third person against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim") or whether
the Claim is asserted by the other party (a "First Party Claim") and shall also
specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is
available):
(a) The factual basis for the Claim; and
(b) The amount of the Claim, if known.
If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not
receive notice of any Claim in time to contest effectively the determination of
any liability susceptible of being contested, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to set off against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party the
amount of any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party resulting from the
Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice on a timely basis.
13.4 First Party Claims. With respect to any First Party Claim, following
------------------
receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall have sixty (60) days to make such investigation of the Claim as is
considered necessary or
34
desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall
make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the
Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with all such other
information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both parties
agree at or prior to the expiration of such sixty-day period (or any mutually
agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full
agreed upon amount of the Claim, failing which the matter shall be referred to
dispute resolution pursuant to Section 15.8.
13.5 Third Party Claims. With respect to any Third Party Claim, the
------------------
Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or
assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of the Claim and, in
such event, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all
the Indemnified Party's out-of-pocket expenses as a result of such participation
or assumption. Subject to Section 13.6, if the Indemnifying Party elects to
assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate
in, but not control, the negotiation, settlement or defense of such Third Party
Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the
Indemnifying Party consents to the retention of such counsel or unless the
representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing
interests between them (such as the availability of different defenses). If the
Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to
defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to assume such control. In such event, the Indemnifying Party
shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to
such Third Party Claim.
13.6 Settlement of Third Party Claims. If the Indemnifying Party fails to
--------------------------------
assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with
Section 13.5, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest,
settle or pay the amount claimed. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes
control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the written
consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the liability of the Indemnifying
Party shall be limited to the proposed settlement amount if any such consent is
not obtained within a reasonable period of time for any reason.
13.7 Co-operation. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall
------------
co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims and shall
keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies
of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available).
13.8 Monetary Limit on Indemnification. No Claim shall be made pursuant
---------------------------------
to
35
Sections 13.1 or 13.2 until the aggregate Losses suffered or incurred by the
Indemnified Party in respect of all matters which could be the subject of such a
Claim exceed [*] (the "Deductible"), at which time the Indemnifying Party shall
be liable only for the amount of such Losses in excess of [*], subject to the
provisions set forth in the next sentence of this Section 13.8. An Indemnifying
Party shall have no liability to indemnify an Indemnified Party for any Losses
after the aggregate Claims made by such Indemnified Party suffered or incurred
by it exceed [*] dollars ($[*]) (the "Cap"); provided, however, that during the
period beginning on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the
[*] anniversary of the Closing Date, the Cap shall be decreased by (a) the
amount of any Losses claimed pursuant to Section 13.1(f) during the twelve-month
period after the Closing Date, and (b) the actual costs incurred by Seller for
[*] pursuant to the [*] (other than amounts paid by Seller pursuant to Section
7.12(g) hereof); and, provided further, that the Cap for any Losses claimed
pursuant to Section 13.1(f) after the [*] anniversary of the Closing Date shall
be decreased to zero. The Deductible and the Cap shall not apply with respect to
Claims made by Buyer with respect to Section 7.4 hereof.
13.9 Exclusivity. The provisions of this Article 13 shall apply to any
-----------
Claim for breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or other provision of
this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or other document delivered
pursuant hereto (other than a claim for specific performance or injunctive
relief) with the intent that all such Claims shall be subject to the limitations
and other provisions contained in this Article 13. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Claims for fraud or intentional misconduct by either party shall
not be subject to the limitations and other provisions contained in this Article
13.
13.10 Taxes and Insurance. The amount of the Indemnifying Party's
-------------------
liability under this Agreement shall be determined taking into account any
applicable insurance proceeds actually received by, and other savings, other
than a decrease in Taxes due to a deduction for Losses, that actually reduce the
overall impact of the Losses upon, the Indemnified Party.
13.11 No Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything contained in this

Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this

of any such disputes. For any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, or breach hereof, the parties, prior to filing any claims in a
court of law or to seeking binding arbitration, shall in good faith first
negotiate a written resolution of such dispute or claim within a period not to
exceed fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of a party's request for such
negotiation. Such negotiations shall be conducted by managers of each party who
have authorization to resolve any such dispute or claim. In the event the
parties cannot negotiate a written resolution to such dispute or claim during
this fifteen-day negotiation period, and prior to filing any claims in a court
of law or to binding arbitration, the parties shall then submit such dispute or
claim to non-binding mediation with JAMS/ENDISPUTE or its successor. The
mediation may be initiated by the written request of either party to the other
party, shall commence within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notice and
shall be conducted in Orange County, California in accordance with such
mediation procedures established by JAMS/ENDISPUTE or its successor, unless
otherwise agreed by the parties. The mediation shall not exceed a period of
thirty (30) days. In the event the parties do not resolve such dispute or claim
as a result of such mediation or in the event such dispute or claim is not
resolved within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the mediation, either
party may seek to resolve the dispute or claim in a court of competent
jurisdiction or seek other legal or equitable resolution. The judgment or decree
of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have
expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have
been finally determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party at any time
may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief in the
event of an alleged breach of this Agreement or otherwise to prevent irreparable
harm.
