WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that it is in their respective best interests to come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, representations and mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

(b)      Board Committees.

 

(i)        Effective upon the appointment of the New Directors, the Board shall take all necessary actions to form a Strategic Review Committee of the Board (the “Strategic Committee”).

(c)      Board Compensation and Other Benefits. The Company agrees that each New Director (and any Replacement Director) shall receive (i) the same benefits of director and officer insurance as all other non-management directors on the Board, (ii) the same compensation for his or her service as a director as the compensation received by other non-management directors on the Board, and (iii) such other benefits on the same basis as all other non-management directors on the Board.

 

(d)      Board Policies and Procedures. Each Party acknowledges that each New Director (and any Replacement Director), shall be governed by all the same policies, processes, procedures, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to members of the Board (collectively, the “Company Policies”), and will be required to strictly adhere to the Company’s policies on confidentiality imposed on all members of the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Company Policies, the Indaba Designee (and any Replacement Director) may provide Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company to Indaba or legal counsel retained by Indaba that the Indaba Designee (or any Replacement Director) learns in his or her capacity as a member of the Board; provided, however, that prior to providing such Confidential Information, the intended recipients shall execute a customary confidentiality agreement pursuant to which (i) they shall be informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and (ii) Indaba shall cause such intended recipients to refrain from disclosing the Confidential Information to anyone, by any means, or from otherwise using the Confidential Information in any way other than in connection with assisting Indaba in the evaluation of its investment in the Company.

 

(e)      Replacement Rights. If, at any time prior to the Termination Date, either of the New Directors (or any Replacement Director) is unable to serve as a director for any reason and ceases to be a director, Indaba shall have the right to propose to the Company a replacement director (a “Replacement Director”) with relevant financial and business experience, who qualifies as “independent” pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s listing standards and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and regulations; provided that Indaba’s right to propose a Replacement Director pursuant to this Section 1(e) shall terminate when the Investors cease to beneficially own, in the aggregate, the Minimum Ownership Amount (as defined below). Any candidate for Replacement Director shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board, which approval shall occur as soon as practicable following Indaba proposing a director and shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and such Replacement Director shall be appointed to the Board within five (5) business days after the Board and the Nominating Committee have approved of such candidate. Any Replacement Director appointed to the Board in accordance with this Section 1(e) shall be appointed to any applicable committee of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal. In the event the Board or the Nominating and Governance Committee determines in good faith not to approve any Replacement Director proposed by Indaba, Indaba shall have the right to propose additional Replacement Directors in accordance with this Section 1(e) until a Replacement Director is appointed to the Board.

(f)       Board Declassification.

4.              No Litigation and General Release of Claims. During the Term, each Party hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with others, encourage, pursue, or assist any other person to threaten or initiate any lawsuit, claim, or other proceeding before any court (each, a “Legal Proceeding”) against the other Party, any of its Affiliates, or its Representatives, except for (a) any Legal Proceeding initiated primarily to remedy a breach of or to enforce this Agreement, or (b) counterclaims with respect to any proceeding initiated by or on behalf of one Party or its Affiliates against any other Party or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent any Party or any of its Representatives from responding to oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or similar processes (each, a “Legal Requirement”) in connection with any Legal Proceeding if such Legal Proceeding has not been initiated by, on behalf of, or at the direct or indirect suggestion of such Party or any of its Representatives; provided, further, that in the event any Party or any of its Representatives receives such Legal Requirement, such Party shall give prompt written notice of such Legal Requirement to the other Party (except where such notice would be legally prohibited or not practicable). Each Party represents and warrants to each other Party that neither it nor any assignee has filed any Legal Proceeding or is aware of any Legal Proceeding, or a Legal Requirement related thereto, against any other Party that has not been disclosed to such other Party prior to the date hereof. It is understood and that in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and after consultation with their respective counsel, the Company, on the one hand, and each other Party, on the other hand, on behalf of themselves and for all of their past and present related, parent and subsidiary companies, joint venturers, limited liability companies, and partnerships, successors, assigns, and the respective owners, officers, directors, nominees for election to the Board, agents, employees, shareholders, members, consultants and attorneys, Affiliates, and other Representatives of each of them (collectively “Affiliated Persons” and each, an “Affiliated Person”), irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the other and all of their Affiliated Persons, from any and all causes of action, claims, actions, rights, judgments, obligations, damages, demands, losses, controversies, contentions, complaints, promises, accountings, bonds, bills, debts, dues, sums of money, expenses, specialties and fees and costs (whether direct, indirect or consequential, incidental or otherwise including, without limitation, attorney’s fees or court costs, of whatever nature) incurred in connection therewith of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in their own right and derivatively, in law or in equity or liabilities of whatever kind or character (the “Claims”), which the Parties have or may have against one another based upon events occurring prior to the date of the execution of this Agreement, including, without limitation, arising out of or related to the Section 220 Demand, the engagement and interactions between the Investors and the Company (either directly or through their respective Representatives) and the Parties’ communications with other investors in the Company (the “Released Matters”). The Parties acknowledge that this general release of claims includes, but is not limited to, any and all statutory and common law claims for, among other things, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty based upon events occurring prior to the Effective Date. The Parties intend that the foregoing release be broad with respect to the Released Matters, provided, however, this release and waiver of Claims does not release any rights and duties under this Agreement and shall not include any actions or claims any Party may have for breach of, or to enforce, the terms of this Agreement.

 

Each of the Parties to this Agreement represents and warrants that it has not heretofore transferred or assigned, or purported to transfer or assign, to any person, firm, or corporation any claims, demands, obligations, losses, causes of action, damages, penalties, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, liabilities, or indemnities herein released.

The Company, on the one hand, and the Investors, on the other hand, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliated Persons, each acknowledge that as of the Effective Date, the Parties may have claims against an Affiliated Person that a Party does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor, including, but not limited to claims that, had they been known, might have affected the decision to enter into this Agreement, or to provide the general release set forth in this Section 4. In connection with any such claims, the Parties agree that they intend to waive, relinquish, and release any and all provisions, rights, and benefits any state or territory of the United States or other jurisdiction that purports to limit the application of a release to unknown claims, or to facts unknown at the time this Agreement was entered into. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties expressly waive any right or protection under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY. In connection with the foregoing waiver, the Parties acknowledge that they, or any of them, may (including after the Effective Date) discover facts in addition to or different from those known or believed by them to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, but it is the intention of the Parties to complete, fully, finally, and forever compromise, settle, release, discharge, and extinguish any and all claims that they may have against each other and their Affiliated Person, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or absolute, accrued or unaccrued, apparent or unapparent, that now exist or previously existed, without regard to the subsequent discovery of additional or different facts. The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing waiver is a key, material, bargained-for element to this Agreement and the general release that is part of it. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing is this this Section 4, will prevent directors from carrying out in good faith their fiduciary duties as directors of the Company.

It is accordingly agreed that each of the Parties (the “Moving Party”) shall be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or to prevent any violation or threatened violation of, the terms hereof, and the other Parties will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. The Parties further agree to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such relief.
