C.           The Parties hereto intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and to cause the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Code.

(b) Equity Conversion.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:
 
(i) each outstanding share of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Pro Rata Merger Consideration; and

(b) Threshold.  No Stockholder Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (after giving effect to the Parent Disclosure Schedules) until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies in or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been  suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Stockholder Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Stockholder Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds the Threshold in the aggregate, and once the total amount of such Damages exceeds the Threshold, then any Stockholder Indemnitee that has suffered or incurred any Damages shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated, reimbursed and paid for only those Damages that exceed the Threshold.
 
(c) Limit on Damages.  The aggregate amount of all Damages for which Parent shall be liable under this Section 6.3 shall not exceed the number of Parent Indemnification Shares (as defined below in Section 6.4) as their value may be from time to time as contemplated below in Section 6.5(e)(ii).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall be liable for all Damages suffered by any Stockholder Indemnitee as a result of or related to a claim for fraud, or willful or tortious misrepresentation, and for any claim for breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, Section 3.3(a), the last two sentences of Section 3.4, Section 3.9 and Section 3.14 (the “Parent Excepted Warranties”).

 
-24-

 

(d) Defense of Third Party Claims.  In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against a Stockholder or against any other Person) with respect to which any of the Stockholder Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification or any other remedy pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Stockholder Representative shall give Parent written notice of the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding against a Stockholder Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days following such commencement.  Parent shall have the right to defend such claim or Legal Proceeding.  If Parent does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Stockholder Representative may proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and at Parent’s expense; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld).  For any such claim or Legal Proceeding:
 
(i) all expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding shall be borne and paid as incurred by Parent; and
 
(ii) Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the Stockholder Indemnitee as long as any such settlement, adjustment or compromise does not include an admission of liability by any Stockholder Indemnitee or the payment of any consideration by a Stockholder Indemnitee.  Any such settlement, adjustment or compromise not meeting the foregoing will require the Stockholder Indemnitee’s consent; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
Any Stockholder Indemnitee may participate in any Legal Proceeding at its own expense.
 
6.4 Stockholder Escrow Arrangements.
 
(a)           Stockholder Escrow Fund.  As security for the indemnity provided for in Section 6.2 and pursuant to the terms of the form of escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F ( the “Escrow Agreement”), at the Closing, Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agent five million (5,000,000) Merger Shares otherwise issuable to the Stockholders (the “Stockholder Escrow Shares”), which Merger Shares shall be allocated from the Stockholders as set forth on Schedule 1.5(a).  First American Stock Transfer, as Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Agent"), shall hold the Escrow Shares in an escrow fund (the "Stockholder Escrow Fund") to be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement.
 
(b)           Stockholder Escrow Period.  Subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholder Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 11:59 p.m., Arizona time on the Stockholder Expiration Date, which shall be the Indemnification Completion Date (the "Stockholder Escrow Period").
 
(c)           Protection of Escrow Fund.
 
(i)           The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Stockholder Escrow Fund during the Stockholder Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and not as the property of Parent and shall hold and dispose of the Stockholder Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
 
(ii)           Any Parent Common Stock or other equity securities issued or distributed by Parent (including shares issued upon a stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization of Parent) ("New Stockholder Shares") in respect of Stockholder Escrow Shares in the Stockholder Escrow Fund which have not been released from the Stockholder Escrow Fund shall be added to the Stockholder Escrow Fund and become a part thereof.  New Stockholder Shares issued in respect of shares of Stockholder Escrow Shares which have been released from the Stockholder Escrow Fund shall not be added to the Stockholder Escrow Fund but shall be distributed to the record holders thereof.  Cash dividends on Parent Common Stock shall not be added to the Stockholder Escrow Fund but shall be distributed to the record holders thereof.

 
-25-

 

(iii)           The record holders of the Stockholder Escrow Shares shall have their respective voting rights with respect to Stockholder Escrow Shares or any New Stockholder Shares added to the Stockholder Escrow Fund.
 
(d)           Satisfaction of Losses.
 
(i)           Distributions Related to Escrow Shares. The Stockholder Escrow Shares shall be used to satisfy pursuant to Section 6.2 any Damages of any Parent Indemnitee for which a Parent Indemnitee delivers an indemnification notice under Section 6.2 during the Stockholder Escrow Period and for which it is finally determined (by joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative given to the Escrow Agent or by a Final Arbitration Award given to the Escrow Agent) that indemnification is required under this Agreement.  Upon the conclusion of the Stockholder Escrow Period, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to the Stockholder Representative, an amount equal to (A) the Stockholder Escrow Shares, minus (B) any and all amounts satisfied by set-off of the Stockholder Escrow Shares for satisfaction of Damages pursuant to Section 6.2, minus (C) if any indemnification claim for Damages of any Parent Indemnitee contained in any indemnification notice delivered pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) prior to the conclusion of the Stockholder Escrow Period is not finally resolved, an amount equal to Parent’s good faith estimate of the cumulative amount of all Damages disputed in any such claims as of such time (the “Pending Claim StockholderEscrow Amount”). The Pending Claim Stockholder Escrow Amount shall remain in escrow until the dispute is finally resolved.  If it is finally determined (by joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative given to the Escrow Agent or by a Final Arbitration Award given to the Escrow Agent) pursuant to this Section 6 that no Parent Indemnitee is entitled to any portion of the Pending Claim Stockholder Escrow Amount or any portion of the Pending Claim Stockholder Escrow Amount is not used to set-off against any such pending claims (the “Pending Claim StockholderEscrow Excess”), the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Pending Claim Stockholder Escrow Excess to the Stockholder Representative.
 
(ii)           Satisfaction of Parent Indemnitees Damages; Set-Off of Stockholder Escrow Shares. Any indemnification obligation finally determined to be owed to the Parent Indemnitees shall be satisfied by set-off against the Stockholder Escrow Shares or the Pending Claim Stockholder Escrow Amount, as applicable, by reducing the Stockholder Escrow Shares or the Pending Claim Stockholder Escrow Amount, as applicable, on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of such indemnification obligation, unless or until the Stockholder Escrow Shares, or Pending Claim Stockholder Escrow Amount, if applicable, have been reduced to zero, or all Damages have been satisfied in accordance with this Section 6.4; in such event any remaining Stockholder Escrow Shares shall be released to the Stockholder Representative as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

The maximum indemnification obligation for which the Stockholder Escrow Amount has been established shall be the amount determined by multiplying the number of shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the Stockholder Escrow Fund by the last reported sale price of the Parent Common on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date.  That maximum indemnification obligation shall reduce, following the Closing Date and until the Stockholder Indemnification Completion Date, on a dollar for dollar basis by the dollar amount of each Damages claim finally determined (by joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative given to the Escrow Agent or by a Final Arbitration Award given to the Escrow Agent), until the remaining indemnification obligation is zero, or until all of the Stockholder Escrow Amount is released in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.  Until the Parent Common Stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued for each Damages claim finally determined (by joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative given to the Escrow Agent or by a Final Arbitration Award given to the Escrow Agent) (“Final Claim”) will be calculated by dividing the Final Claim by the weighted average sale price of the Parent Common Stock in all Parent Common Stock sale transactions (exclusive of stock option exercise transactions, restricted stock transactions or similar incentive compensation transactions) in the ten (10) Business Days immediately preceding the date of determination of the Final Claim under the Escrow Agreement.  Once the Parent Common Stock is listed for trading and trading on a national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued for each Final Claim will be calculated by dividing the Final Claim by the average of the last sale price of the Parent Common Stock for each of the ten (10) Business Days immediately preceding the date of determination of the Final Claim under the Escrow Agreement.

 
-26-

 

6.5 Parent Indemnification Share Arrangements.
 
(a)           Parent Indemnification Shares.  As security for the indemnity provided for in Section 6.3, immediately following the Closing, Parent shall reserve for possible issuance to Stockholder Indemnitees five million (5,000,000) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Parent Indemnification Shares”), the issuance of which, if any, will be governed by the terms set forth herein.
 
(b)           Parent Indemnification Period.  The reservation for issuance of the Parent Indemnification Shares required under this Section 6.5 shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 11:59 p.m., Arizona time on the Parent Expiration Date, which shall be the Indemnification Completion Date (the "Parent Indemnification Period").
 
(c)           Reservation of Parent Indemnification Shares.  From and after the Effective Time, Parent represents, warrants, covenants and agrees:
 
(i)           That Parent Indemnification Shares that may be issued as required by this Section 6 will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof; and
 
(ii)           That during the Parent Indemnification Period, Parent will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue and delivery hereunder, a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock as may be required hereby.
 
(d)           Adjustments.  In the event that Parent shall at any time subdivide or split its outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Parent Indemnification Shares subject to issuance hereunder shall be proportionately increased.  In the event that the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the number of Parent Indemnification Shares subject to issuance hereunder shall be proportionately decreased.  In the event that Parent shall at any time declare any dividend or distribution upon the Parent Common Stock payable in stock, the number of Parent Indemnification Shares subject to issuance hereunder shall be increased by the number (and the kind) of shares which would have been issued to the holder of the Parent Indemnification Shares if the same had been outstanding immediately prior to such dividend.  No cash dividends shall affect the number of Parent Indemnification Shares.
 
(e)           Satisfaction of Losses.
 
(i)           Distributions Related to Parent Indemnification Shares. The Parent Indemnification Shares shall be issued and used to satisfy pursuant to Section 6.3 any Damages of any Stockholder Indemnitee for which a Stockholder Indemnitee delivers an indemnification notice under Section 6.3 during the Parent Indemnification Period and for which it is finally determined (by joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative or by a Final Arbitration Award) that indemnification is required under this Agreement.  Upon the conclusion of the Parent Indemnification Period, the number of Parent Indemnification Shares subject hereto shall be reduced to an amount equal to the lesser of (A)(1) the original number of Parent Indemnification Shares, minus (2) any and all amounts satisfied by set-off of the Parent Indemnification Shares for satisfaction of Damages pursuant to this Section 6, or (B) if any indemnification claim for Damages of any Stockholder Indemnitee contained in any indemnification notice delivered pursuant to Section 6.3 prior to the conclusion of the Parent Indemnification Period is not finally resolved, an amount equal to the Stockholder Representative’s good faith estimate of the cumulative amount of all Damages disputed in any such claims as of such time (the “Pending Claim ParentIndemnification Shares”). The Pending Claim Parent Indemnification Shares shall be reserved for issuance until the dispute is finally resolved.  If it is finally determined (by joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative or by a Final Arbitration Award) pursuant to this Section 6 that no Stockholder Indemnitee is entitled to any portion of the Pending Claim Parent Indemnification Shares or any portion of the Pending Claim Parent Indemnification Shares is not used to set-off against any such pending claims, the number of shares required to be reserved, and subject to potential issuance, hereunder shall be decreased accordingly.

 
-27-

 

(ii)           Satisfaction of Stockholder Indemnitees Damages; Set-Off of Parent Indemnification Shares. Any indemnification obligations owed to the Stockholder Indemnitees shall be satisfied by issuance of the Parent Indemnification Shares or the Pending Claim Parent Indemnification Shares, as applicable, on a dollar for dollar basis equal to the amount of such indemnification obligations, unless or until the Parent Indemnification Shares, or Pending Claim Parent Indemnification Shares, if applicable, have been reduced to zero.
 
Until the Parent Common Stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, the value of the Parent Indemnification Shares for all purposes under this Section 6, shall be calculated by dividing the indemnification obligation owed to a Stockholder Indemnitee by the weighted average sale price of the Parent Common Stock in all Parent Common Stock sale transactions (exclusive of stock option exercise transactions, restricted stock transactions or similar incentive compensation transactions) in the ten (10) Business Days immediately preceding the date of determination of the Parent’s indemnification obligation (by joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative or by a Final Arbitration Award).  Once the Parent Common Stock is listed for trading and trading on a national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued for each Parent indemnification obligation will be calculated by dividing the Parent indemnification obligation by the average of the last sale price of the Parent Common Stock for each of the ten (10) Business Days immediately preceding the date of determination of the Parent’s indemnification obligation (by joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative or by a Final Arbitration Award).
 
6.6 Indemnification Completion Date.  No claims may be brought by any Indemnitee against the Indemnifying Party after the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that any claims or Legal Proceedings for which indemnification is sought prior to the Indemnification Completion Date shall remain subject to such indemnification obligation until full resolution of the claim or Legal Proceeding.
 
6.7 Determination of Damages.  For purposes of this Agreement, any determination of Damages shall (a) be reduced (i) by any Tax benefits realized by the indemnified party (assuming a combined federal and state income Tax rate of forty percent (40%)), and (ii) by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by the indemnified party with respect to such Damages (after reasonable good faith efforts to recover thereon, including filing and diligent pursuit of a claim with the insurer); and (b) exclude all items specified in Section 6.8.  The calculation of Damages shall not include damages arising because of a change after Closing in Legal Requirements or accounting policies.  To the extent that a claim for indemnification by Parent hereunder relates to a liability incurred by the Company and there is an accrual on the Unaudited Interim Balance Sheet in respect of such liability, then the determination of Damages in respect of such claim shall be net of such accrual.
 
6.8 No Consequential Damages.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT OR PROVIDED FOR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW, NO PARTY SHALL, IN ANY EVENT, BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PERSON, EITHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR SUCH OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH HEREOF, WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ADVANCE OR COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN BY SUCH OTHER PARTY.
 
6.9 Exclusive Remedy.  From and after the Effective Time, except for the remedy of specific performance, and except in the case of fraud or a breach of the Company Excepted Warranties or the Parent Excepted Warranties, indemnification under this Section 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any claim or action related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the operations of the Company prior to the Closing, whether such claim or action is based on contract, tort or otherwise.  Parent, Merger Sub and the Company each hereby waive any provision of any Legal Requirement to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section 6.9.

 
-28-

 

6.10 Purchase Price Adjustment.  The issuance of any Stockholder Escrow Shares, Pending Claim Stockholder Excess Amount, Parent Indemnification Shares or Pending Claim Parent Indemnification Shares shall constitute a purchase price adjustment for tax purposes.
 
6.11 Arbitration Process.
 
If a dispute arises out of the indemnification process, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of the dispute.  If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days, the dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect.  The parties agree that any such controversy shall be submitted to one arbitrator mutually selected by the parties pursuant to the provisions of the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules.  In connection with the arbitration hearing, at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the arbitration hearing, each party shall prepare its best and final offer to settle the dispute in full (the “Final Offers”) and shall deliver its Final Offer to the other party and the arbitrator.  Upon the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall and must select the Final Offer proposed by one of the parties with respect to the dispute, without variation, and enter that as the arbitrator’s award.  The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding on the parties and is referred to herein as the “Final Arbitration Award”.  The parties agree that for purposes of this Section 6, the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules are modified such that the procedures set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure applicable in the State of Arizona will govern the arbitration.  The parties agree that any arbitration shall be held in Phoenix, Arizona, and all proceedings in the arbitration will be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Arizona.
