Such amount is referred to herein as the “Escrow Fund” and will be governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E. and Section 3.3.

(c)    Exchange Procedures.    As soon as practicable after (but in any event not more than five (5) Business Days after) the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Target Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and which shares of Target Common Stock are exchanged for and represent the right to receive the Common Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article III (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Buyer may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Common Merger Consideration, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Target and Buyer. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore that portion of the Common Merger Consideration equal to the Minimum Common Merger Consideration per share surrendered, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. After the Payment Date, each person entitled to receive the Minimum Common Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Common Merger Consideration per share surrendered less the Minimum Common Merger Consideration previously paid with respect to such shares. Until surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented Target Common Stock will be deemed after the Effective Time to evidence the right to receive the Common Merger Consideration as provided in this Article III without any interest thereon (except as provided in Section 3.3). If payment of the Common Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that: (i) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and (ii) that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Common Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax either has been paid or is not applicable.
 
(d)    Transfer Books.    At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Target shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Target Common Stock.
 
(e)    Remaining Funds.    At any time following one year after the Payment Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) which had been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates. Thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) only as a general creditor thereof with respect to the Common Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of their Certificates, without any interest thereon. Neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for Common Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

ARTICLE IV
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF TARGET
 
Target hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer and Merger Sub subject to the exceptions set forth in the disclosure statement dated the date of this Agreement delivered by Target to Buyer and Merger Sub (the “Target Disclosure Statement”). The Target Disclosure Statement is arranged in schedules. Each such schedule corresponds to a numbered or lettered section or subsection of this Article IV. The disclosure in each such schedule qualifies any of the corresponding numbered or lettered sections of this Article IV.
 
4.1    Organization, Etc.    Target is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Target Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California. Target and Target Subsidiary have all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate their respective properties and to carry on their respective business as they are now being conducted. Schedule 4.1 of the Target Disclosure Statement sets forth each other jurisdiction in which Target or Target Subsidiary are qualified to do business. Target and Target Subsidiary are duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by them or the nature of their business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Target Material Adverse Effect. Target and Target Subsidiary are not in violation of any provision of their respective charters or bylaws. Target has made available to Buyer accurate and complete copies of the charters and bylaws as currently in effect of Target and Target Subsidiary.
 
4.2    Authority Relative to This Agreement.    Target has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to complete the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Target and the completion of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the unanimous vote or unanimous written consent of the board of directors of Target, and, other than approval by Target’s Stockholders, no other corporate proceedings on the part of Target are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to complete the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, other than the filing and recordation of the Certificate of Merger as required by Delaware Law. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Target and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer and Merger Sub, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Target enforceable against Target in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.
 
4.3    No Violations, Etc.    No filing with or notification to, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Government Entity is necessary on the part of Target for the completion by Target of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, or for the exercise by Buyer or Target of the full rights to own and operate the business of Target as it presently is being conducted, except for the filing of the Certificate of Merger as required by Delaware Law and the filing and approval of the Proxy Statement by the SEC. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the completion of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, compliance by Target with the provisions hereof, or the exercise by the Surviving Corporation after the Merger of the full right to own and operate the business of Target as it is presently conducted does or will: (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Target, (ii) violate any Law applicable to Target or any of Target’s properties or assets or (iii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or result in any change in, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, acceleration, redemption or repurchase under, any material note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Target is a party or by which any of Target’s properties or assets is bound.
