Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties contained in Sections *** shall survive indefinitely and the representations and warranties in Section *** shall survive until the lapsing of the appropriate statute of limitations, at which time liability therefor shall cease.

Section 8.2 Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Target's stockholders (the "Indemnifying Parties") shall severally and jointly indemnify, defend and hold harmless Merger Sub and Kintera, their officers, directors, employees and attorneys, all Subsidiaries and affiliates of Merger Sub, and the respective officers, directors, employees and attorneys of such entities (all such persons and entities being collectively referred to as the "Purchaser Group" and individually as an "Indemnified Party") from, against, for and in respect of those losses, damages, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) that any member of the Purchaser Group may sustain or incur to the extent caused by or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by Target or the Founders in this Agreement (together with any Adjustment Amount, "Losses") and that are subject to reimbursement as provided in this Section 8.2 as Reimbursable Losses.

Section 8.3 Escrow Fund.
(a) At the Closing, the Escrow Securities shall be issued in the name of each Target stockholder, as set forth on Schedule 1.5, and be deposited with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Securities shall constitute the "Escrow Fund" and shall be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Stockholders Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate Merger Sub or Kintera pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 8.2. In the event Kintera issues any Additional Escrow Shares (as defined below), such shares will be issued in the name of the Target stockholders and held by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Target stockholders and delivered to the Escrow Agent in the same manner as the Escrow Securities delivered at the Closing.
(b) Except for dividends paid in stock declared with respect to the Escrow Securities ("Additional Escrow Shares"), which shall be treated as Escrow Securities, any cash dividends will be delivered to the Target stockholders. The Target stockholders will have voting rights for the Escrow Securities deposited in the Escrow Fund so long as such Escrow Securities are held in Escrow.
Section 8.4 Indemnification Period. The indemnification period shall terminate *** from the Closing Date (the "Termination Date"); provided, however, that if any of the Escrow Securities as set forth in this Section 8 are necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer's Certificate delivered to Spencer Hayman as agent for the Indemnifying Parties (the "Stockholders' Agent") prior to the Termination Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the Termination Date, such Escrow Securities shall remain subject to this Section 8 until the resolution of such claims.
Section 8.5 Disposition of Shares of Kintera Common Stock. So long as the Shares remain subject to this Section 8, none of such Shares shall be sold, transferred, encumbered, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of (a "Disposition") unless the recipient or beneficiary of such Disposition acknowledges and agrees in writing (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Kintera) that the Shares remain subject to Kintera's rights set forth in this Section 8, and that such recipient or beneficiary will not further dispose of such Shares in any Disposition without first complying with this Section 8.5, as if such recipient or beneficiary were a party to this Agreement for purposes of this ARTICLE VIII.
Section 8.6 Claims for Indemnification. If Kintera or the Merger Sub becomes aware of any Losses for which any member of the Purchaser Group will seek indemnification, Kintera or the Merger Sub shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to the Stockholders' Agent, on or before the Termination Date, a certificate signed by any officer of Kintera or the Merger Sub (an "Officer's Certificate") stating that with respect to the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.2, Losses exist and specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, properly accrued or arose, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or claim to which such item is related and an estimate of attorney's fees and expenses necessary to conclude the matter. If the Stockholders' Agent does not object to such claims within thirty (30) calendar days of the delivery of the Officer's Certificate to the Stockholders' Agent, after delivery of a written notice of cancellation (the "Cancellation Notice") to the Stockholders' Agent, Kintera shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent shares of Escrow Securities on a pro rata basis as among all holders of Shares, with all such Shares to be received from Escrow having an aggregate Stated Price equal to the Reimbursable Losses, and in such event the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Kintera the foregoing number of Escrow Securities. If the Stockholders' Agent objects to such claims within such thirty (30) day period, Kintera shall not receive from the
26
Escrow Agent shares of Escrow Securities and shall not notify the Escrow Agent to release to Kintera shares of Escrow Securities until such objection is resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Stockholders' Agent and Kintera or pursuant to a final, non-appealable court order. Kintera shall notify each of the Indemnifying Parties of the number of Shares that are subject to cancellation.
Section 8.7 Challenge of Third Party Claims.
(a) Promptly after receipt by Kintera of notice of the assertion or commencement by any third person or entity of any claim, investigation, proceeding or action (collectively, a "Claim") with respect to which any Indemnifying Party may become obligated to indemnify, hold harmless, compensate or reimburse an Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, Kintera will, if a claim is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under such Section, give notice to the Stockholders' Agent of the commencement of such Claim, but the failure to notify the Stockholders' Agent will not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties demonstrate that the defense of such action is prejudiced by Kintera's failure to give such notice.
(b) The Stockholders' Agent may elect to participate with Kintera in the defense of any third party claim as to which notice is given under Section 8.7(a) at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Parties upon notice delivered to Kintera within ten (10) days of the receipt of the notice provided for in Section 8.7(a). If the Stockholders' Agent elects to participate in the defense of such Claim:
(i) the Stockholders' Agent shall use counsel and/or accountants reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party;
(ii) the Stockholders' Agent and the Indemnified Party shall keep the other informed of all material developments and events relating to such Claim;
(iii) the Stockholders' Agent shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that counsel retained by the Indemnified Party shall be lead counsel in the defense of such Claim; and
(iv) the Stockholders' Agent shall not settle, adjust or compromise such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall be given in the Indemnified Party's sole discretion.
Section 8.8 Objections to Claims. The Stockholders' Agent may object to the claim on the Officer's Certificate by delivery to Kintera (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) of such objection in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of the delivery of the Officer's Certificate to the Stockholders' Agent. In case the Stockholders' Agent shall so object in writing to any claim or claims by Kintera or Merger Sub made in any Officer's Certificate, Kintera or Merger Sub shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Stockholders' Agent. If after such thirty (30) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Stockholders' Agent and Kintera or Merger Sub shall 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 the Stockholders' Agent and Kintera or Merger Sub should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both and the distribution, if any, of Escrow Securities shall be made in connection therewith in accordance with Sections 8.2 and 8.6.
Section 8.9 Resolution of Conflicts and Arbitration. If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between the parties pursuant to Section 8.8, either Kintera or the Merger Sub or the Stockholders' Agent may, by written notice to the other, demand binding arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Losses is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to
27
arbitration. Any conflicts arbitrated pursuant to this Section 8.9 shall be arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 of this Agreement.
Section 8.10 Maximum Payments. The maximum aggregate number of Escrow Securities deliverable as compensation for Reimbursable Losses to all members of the Purchaser Group from any Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII shall not exceed the number of Escrow Securities allocable to such Indemnifying Party hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Kintera and Merger Sub specifically covenant and agree that (i) Kintera and Merger Sub *** Founders *** Founders *** Escrow Securities for the payment of any Reimbursable Losses and (ii) Kintera and Merger Sub shall enforce payment of Reimbursable Losses *** Escrow Securities *** Founders ***. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall limit the liability in amount or otherwise of any Founder for ***.
Section 8.11 ***. If the Closing occurs, the *** Founders ***.

Section 9.1 Amendment.

Section 9.2 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing Date, the parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered by the other parties pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance by the other parties with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.

Section 10.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words "include," "includes" and "including" when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words "without limitation." The phrase "made available" in this Agreement shall mean that the information referred to has been provided if requested by the Party to whom such information is to be made available. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement has been drafted by legal counsel representing Kintera, but all Parties have participated in the negotiation of its terms. Each Party acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review and revise this Agreement, and have it reviewed by legal counsel, and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original as against any party whose signature appears on such counterpart and all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature.
Section 10.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement, by and between Kintera and Target Sub, dated June 23, 2003.
Section 10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles.
Section 10.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided however, Kintera and Merger Sub shall not be required to obtain the consent of the other Parties for any assignment in connection with (a) any merger or consolidation or other reorganization of Merger Sub or Kintera with or into another entity or (b) the sale of substantially all of the assets of Kintera or Merger Sub, provided that in each instance the resulting or surviving entity assumes the obligations of Kintera and Merger Sub hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Section 10.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies or obligations under, or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Disclosure Schedule. The disclosures in the Disclosure Schedule shall expressly refer to a Section of this Agreement; provided, however, that disclosures in the Disclosure Schedule expressly referring to a Section of this Agreement may incorporate by reference the disclosures in the Disclosure Schedule with respect to any other Section of this Agreement; and provided further, that any fact or circumstance disclosed with respect to a particular Section shall likewise be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to another Section if the fact or circumstance disclosed may likely be deemed pertinent to such other Section.
