1.5 Excluded Liabilities. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer will not assume or be liable or obligated for, and the Sellers, as applicable will remain liable and obligated for and will pay, perform and satisfy when due, each other Liability of the Company. The sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment and purchase of the Acquired Assets does not include the assumption of any Liability related to any Acquired Asset or any other asset of any Seller, except to the extent Buyer expressly assumes such Liability under Section 1.4, including the Liabilities listed in Schedule 1.1(d).

1.6 Unassignable Contracts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (a) any Assumed Contract is not capable of being sold, conveyed, transferred or assigned in the absence of the approval, consent or waiver of any other Person (without breaching, violating, defaulting under, conflicting with, giving rise to or creating any right to accelerate, increase, terminate, modify or cancel any material right or obligation or creating any Encumbrance, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, under, such Assumed Contract) and (b) all necessary approvals, consents or waivers of any such other Person (including any party to such Assumed Contract) have not been obtained at or before Closing, then (1) Buyer hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform and satisfy when due the Liabilities of the Company under such Assumed Contract (but not such Assumed Contract itself) to the extent that such Liabilities would otherwise be an Assumed Liability, (2) the rights and benefits of the Company under such Assumed Contract or resulting therefrom (but not such Assumed Contract itself), to the extent that such rights and benefits would otherwise be an Acquired Asset, are hereby sold, conveyed, transferred and assigned to Buyer, and (3) after Closing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in attempting to obtain such necessary approvals, consents or waivers and will promptly execute all documents reasonably requested or necessary to complete such sale, conveyance, transfer and assignment of such Assumed Contract to Buyer if such approvals, consents or waivers are obtained, with any expenses incurred by the Company under this Section 1.6 being borne equally by the Company and Buyer. If, with respect to any such Assumed Contract, such necessary approvals, consents or waivers are not obtained and such sale, conveyance, transfer and assignment of such Assumed Contract to Buyer is not completed, then the Company and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to determine and enter into replacement arrangements such that the Parties are situated as close as is reasonably possible to circumstances (financially and all other) as they otherwise would be had such sale, conveyance, transfer and assignment been completed.

ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE PRICE AND ADJUSTMENT

2.1 Purchase Price. Upon and subject to the terms herein, Buyer and Parent will collectively pay to Seller Parent the aggregate amount equal to $20,250,000.00 in cash and Parent Common Stock (the “Initial Purchase Price”), as such amount is adjusted pursuant to the terms herein (such amount, as adjusted pursuant to any term herein, is the final purchase price for the Acquired Assets and is referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), payable in accordance with the terms herein.

2.2 Payment of Initial Purchase Price at Closing and Related Payments; Issuance of Parent Shares. Upon and subject to the terms herein, at Closing and on the Closing Date, Buyer and Parent will pay the Initial Purchase Price as follows:

(a) Parent will issue and deposit into escrow with the Escrow Agent, that number of shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of Parent Common Stock equal to 10% of the Initial Purchase Price ($2,025,000) divided by the Average Trading Price (such shares, the “Escrow Shares”). Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, original stock certificates representing the Escrow Shares to the Escrow Agent within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Date, and such Escrow Shares, although issued in the name of Seller Parent, will be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Parent will issue to Seller Parent that number of additional shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of Parent Common Stock equal to $225,000 divided by the Average Trading Price (such shares, the “Additional Shares”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the aggregate value of the Escrow Shares plus the aggregate value of the Additional Shares (in each case valued at the Average Trading Price) (collectively the “Aggregate Share Consideration Value”) shall not in any event exceed $2,250,000. Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, original stock certificates representing the Additional Shares to Seller Parent within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date.

(c) Buyer will pay in cash to Seller Parent, an amount equal to the Estimated Purchase Price minus the Aggregate Share Consideration Value (the “Cash Consideration”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account that Seller Parent designates in writing at least two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date.

2.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Sellers’ Preparation of the Estimated Statement and determination of the Estimated Purchase Price. Not more than three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, the Sellers will prepare and deliver to Buyer an estimated statement (the “Estimated Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail, Sellers’ good-faith estimate of Tangible Net Assets (determined in accordance with the Sample Tangible Net Assets calculation methodology set forth on Schedule 2.3(i)) (the “Estimated Tangible Net Assets”). The Estimated Statement shall set forth the “Estimated Purchase Price,” which shall be equal to the Initial Purchase Price (1) decreased by the entire amount, if any, by which Estimated Tangible Net Assets is less than Target Tangible Net Assets, or (2) increased by the entire amount, if any, by which Estimated Tangible Net Assets is greater than Target Tangible Net Assets.

(b) Buyer’s Preparation of the Statement Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to the Company a statement (the “Statement”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, Buyer’s good-faith determination of Tangible Net Assets. The Company will assist Buyer and its representatives in all reasonable respects in preparing the Statement and will give Buyer and its representatives reasonable access at all reasonable times to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Company and its Affiliates for such purpose and the other matters in this Section 2.3. Such 90-day period will be extended, to the extent of any unreasonable delay by the Company in providing such assistance or access. The final determination of Tangible Net Assets pursuant to this Section 2.3 is “Final Tangible Net Assets.”

(c) The Company’s Response to the Statement. The Tangible Net Assets in the Statement will become final and binding upon the Parties (and become Final Tangible Net Assets) 45 days after Buyer gives the Statement to the Company, unless the Company gives written notice, in reasonable detail, of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer before the end of such 45-day period. The Company may give a Notice of Disagreement only if (1) assuming all of the Company’s assertions therein were sustained, the Purchase Price would be higher than if the Company had not given such Notice of Disagreement to Buyer and (2) such Notice of Disagreement states the Company’s determination of Tangible Net Assets. The only disagreements that may be stated in a Notice of Disagreement are those that relate to any claimed inconsistencies between the principles, accounting methods, historical policies, practices and procedures used in preparing the Statement and the principles,

accounting methods, historical policies, practices and procedures used in the calculation of Tangible Net Assets as shown in Schedule 2.3(i) or errors in mathematical computation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, no disagreement in a Notice of Disagreement may relate to the principles used in preparing the Statement or the calculation of Target Tangible Net Assets as long as such principles are also consistently applied to determine Tangible Net Assets. If the Company gives a valid Notice of Disagreement before the end of such 45-day period stated above, then Final Tangible Net Assets (as finally determined in accordance with clause (A) or (B) below) will become final and binding on the Parties upon the earlier of (A) the date the Parties resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to all items specified in such Notice of Disagreement or (B) the date any disputed items are finally resolved in writing by the Arbitrator pursuant to Section 2.3(c).

(d) Resolving Matters in Notice of Disagreement. During the 30-day period after a valid Notice of Disagreement is given, the Company and Buyer will attempt to resolve in writing any differences that they have regarding any item in such Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of such 30-day period, the Company and Buyer have not reached agreement on all such items, then either Party may require that the items that remain in dispute be promptly submitted to an arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) for review and resolution. The Arbitrator will be a public accounting firm agreed upon by the Parties in writing; provided that the Arbitrator will not be an accounting firm used by either the Company or Buyer (or any of their Affiliates) within the preceding three years for audit or valuation purposes. If the Parties cannot agree upon an Arbitrator within 15 Business Days after first attempting to do so, then the Arbitrator will be selected by lot from a list of four potential Arbitrators remaining after the Company nominates three, Buyer nominates three, and the Company and Buyer each eliminate one potential Arbitrator from the other’s nominations. The Arbitrator will determine procedures for such arbitration, subject to the terms hereof. The Arbitrator will only consider the items that remain in dispute. The Arbitrator will render a decision resolving such items in dispute within 30 days after completion of submissions to the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator will determine Final Tangible Net Assets solely based on submissions made by the Company and Buyer consistent with the terms hereof (and not by independent review). The Arbitrator will not assign a value to any item that is greater than the greater value for such item claimed by either the Company or Buyer nor less than the lesser value for such item claimed by either of such Parties.

(e) Allocation of Fees and Expenses. The Company and Buyer will each pay its own fees and expenses regarding such arbitration and half of the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator.

(f) Adjustment to Purchase Price Based on Final Tangible Net Assets. The Purchase Price will be, and automatically will be adjusted to be, the Initial Purchase Price (1) decreased by the entire amount, if any, by which Final Tangible Net Assets is less than Estimated Tangible Net Assets, or (2) increased by the entire amount, if any, by which Final Tangible Net Assets is greater than Estimated Tangible Net Assets. However, if no such adjustment is required pursuant to this Section 2.3(f), then the Purchase Price will equal the Initial Purchase Price.

(g) Reconciliation Payment. Within five (5) Business Days after Final Tangible Net Assets becomes final and binding on the Parties, the following will occur (with the payments in this Section below being made by wire transfer of immediately available funds):

(1) if the Estimated Purchase Price (as paid at Closing) is more than the Purchase Price (as adjusted, if at all, under Section 2.3(f)), then the Company will pay to Buyer the amount of such excess, without interest.

(2) if the Estimated Purchase Price (as paid at Closing) is less than the Purchase Price (as adjusted, if at all, under Section 2.3(f)), then Buyer will pay to Company the amount of such excess, without interest.

(h) Target Tangible Net Assets Defined. “Target Tangible Net Assets” means the amount of $0.00.

(i) Tangible Net Assets Defined. “Tangible Net Assets” means an amount equal to (x) the aggregate dollar amount of all Acquired Assets other than goodwill attributable to customer relationships and proprietary technology (in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule 2.3(i)) minus (y) the aggregate dollar amount of all Assumed Liabilities that are total liabilities in the categories set forth on Schedule 2.3(i). The Parties’ illustrative calculation of Tangible Net Assets, as if the Closing occurred on August 31, 2012, is attached in Schedule 2.3(i) (“Sample Tangible Net Assets”). The Sample Tangible Net Assets calculation set forth in Schedule 2.3(i) shall serve as an example only and in no event will any amounts set forth on it be binding in connection with the determination of Final Tangible Net Assets other than as set forth in Section 2.3(j). The calculations hereunder in each case determined as of the Effective Time and in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied with, and using the same accounting methods, policies, practices, principles and procedures with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodologies as were used in the example calculation of Sample Tangible Net Assets set forth in Schedule 2.3(i), and including the Company’s share of any Prorated Items pursuant to Section 2.3(j).

(j) Prorated Item Reconciliation. In addition to the foregoing matters in this Article 2, the Company and Buyer will prorate, as of the Effective Time, based on the number of days elapsed in the applicable period, all prorated items, and set forth such proration on Schedule 2.3(j) (“Prorated Item” means: (A) rent, utility, ad valorem Tax regarding real estate that is a direct or indirect obligation pursuant to the terms of an Assumed Real Property Lease, common area maintenance, marketing or advertising allocation or other similar amount paid or payable with respect to any Assumed Real Property Lease; (B) prepaid cost or expense based on a period of time; or (C) charge or payment based on a period of time of performance or possession under any lease (other than any Assumed Real Property Lease), service Contract, maintenance Contract, marketing or advertising Contract or similar Contract). The Company’s share of Prorated Items will be reflected in Final Tangible Net Assets, as an asset or liability as applicable. To the extent any Prorated Item is not reflected in Final Tangible Net Assets, within five (5) Business Days after Final Tangible Net Assets becomes final and binding upon the Parties, Buyer will pay to the Company or the Company will pay to Buyer (as applicable) the amount necessary to allocate such Prorated Items not reflected in Final Tangible Net Assets between the Company and Buyer under this Section 2.3(j) such that each has paid its pro rata share thereof. Such payment will be made, without interest, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(k) Allocation of Purchase Price. Within 90 days following the Closing, Buyer (after reasonable consultation with Company) will deliver to the Company a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price with respect to the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). The Purchase Price Allocation will be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and will be subject to the Company’s review and approval for a period of 15 Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If Company disagrees with the proposed Purchase Price Allocation, the Company shall notify Buyer in writing within such 15 Business Day period. For a period of 30 days following Buyer’s receipt of any such notification, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve all disagreements with respect to the proposed Purchase Price Allocation. In the event that the Parties reach agreement within such 30 day period, the Parties will make consistent use of the Purchase Price Allocation for all Tax purposes and in all Tax Returns in respect thereof, as adjusted to reflect any adjustments needed to remain consistent with Final Tangible Net Assets and the resulting adjustment to the Purchase, and with respect to such agreed upon Purchase Price Allocation, as so adjusted, each Party will (1) be bound by such allocation, (2) act in accordance with such allocation in the preparation of all financial statements and the filing of all Tax Returns (including the filing of its IRS Forms 8594 (whether initial or supplemental) relating to the transactions contemplated herein) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax

review or other Tax Proceeding relating thereto, and (3) take no position and cause its Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with such allocation for Tax purposes (including in connection with any Proceeding), unless in each case otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. If the Parties are unable to agree on the Purchase Price Allocation, each Party may use its own Purchase Price Allocation.

If Buyer requests, then the Company will cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, by taking any action reasonably requested by Buyer (whether before, at or after Closing) with respect to any health, dental, group life, short term disability, long term disability or workers compensation insurance coverage with respect to any employee or former employee of the Company, including transferring applicable group insurance policies or rights thereunder to Parent or Buyer (if permitted by the insurer and requested by Parent or Buyer), to assist Parent or Buyer in providing replacement employee benefit plan coverage or continuity for employees. Nothing in this Section 5.3(b) or otherwise in this Agreement shall require Company to maintain any such insurance coverage for any period of time after the Closing.

(1) The Company acknowledges that, before Closing, the Company permitted Buyer to conduct interviews with, offer post-Closing employment to, complete employment-related documents regarding and explain Buyer’s employment-related rules and benefits to, employees of the Company. In connection with and after Closing, the Company will permit and facilitate reasonable access to all of the Company’s employees other than those employees listed on Schedule 5.3(c), for Buyer to have the right to take any of the actions described in this Section 5.3(c) (including continuation of the foregoing actions). On and after the Closing Date, the Sellers will reasonably cooperate with Buyer with respect to each employee of the Company that Buyer wishes to hire, including by promptly terminating such employee’s employment with the Company (in connection with Closing or thereafter) and not rehiring such employee or using the services of such employee in a manner similar to employment. Nothing in this Agreement, or in the Company’s past or current practices, will be deemed to obligate Buyer to continue any employment, or dictate the terms or conditions of any employment, for any period, subject to Buyer’s obligations for Assumed Liabilities and obligations described in Section 5.3. “Transferred Employee” means each employee of the Company that Buyer hires on the Closing Date or within 30 days after the Closing Date.

(2) With regard to each employee of the Company who does not receive a written offer of employment from the Buyer offering employment on terms and conditions that are substantially the same as such employee’s current employment terms and conditions with the Company (including any offer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5.3(c)(2)) (each an “Offer of Employment”) on or prior to the Closing or is otherwise not a Transferred Employee, neither Parent nor Buyer shall be responsible for paying any portion of any severance benefits the Company may be obligated to pay such individual upon his or her termination by the Company, if any; provided, however, that if a Company employee does not receive an Offer of Employment on or prior to the Closing Date and is otherwise not a Transferred Employee, but such employee is designated in the Transition Services Agreement as a Transition Employee, then:

(i) the Company shall be obligated to employ such Transition Employee for the duration of the term applicable to such Transition Employee in the Transition Services Agreement (except that the Company’s standard employment policies shall remain in effect with respect to such employee) at the expense of Buyer as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement;

(ii) neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall pay any severance amounts to any Transition Employee that terminates his or her employment with the Company or such Company Affiliate, regardless of the reason for such Transition Employee’s termination (it being understood that any such severance obligation shall have been converted into a right to receive a Transition Bonus under the Transition Services Agreement and subject to the payment conditions set forth therein); and

(iii) the Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of the Transition Bonus applicable to such Transition Employee, if any, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Transition Services Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.3(c), the Buyer shall have the right, with respect to any employee of the Business that is not a Transferred Employee, a Transition Employee or listed on Schedule 5.3(c), to make an offer of employment at any time during the Transition Period (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), and, if any such employee is

so hired by Buyer during such time, then such employee shall become a Transferred Employee; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company or its applicable Affiliate shall remain responsible for such individual’s employment prior to the time such employee is hired by Buyer and neither Parent nor Buyer shall be responsible for paying any portion of any severance benefits the Company may be obligated to pay such employee of the Company, if any, if such employee is terminated by the Company prior to being hired by Buyer, unless such employee is hired by Buyer within 30 days after the Closing Date.

(3) For a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will not engage in any conduct which would result in an employment loss or layoff for a sufficient number of employees of Buyer at any location which, if aggregated with any such conduct prior to Closing, would trigger the WARN Act with respect to any employees of the Company. Buyer will be responsible for providing any notice to Transferred Employees which may be required by WARN or any similar Applicable Law for any “employment loss” (as defined in WARN) which occurs after the Closing Date and for any severance obligations or any other Liability which may accrue to Transferred Employees, any governmental authority or any other Person under WARN or any similar Applicable Law as a result of providing improper or untimely notice under WARN or such Applicable Law after the Closing Date to the extent the requirements of WARN or any similar Applicable Law are triggered by any actions of Buyer.

(d) Sales Commissions. Without implying any limitation on the Company’s Liabilities, except for any Employee Sales Commissions Obligation that is an Assumed Liability, the Company will remain obligated to satisfy in full all Liabilities of the Company regarding sales commissions and similar payments to each employee, sales representative and similar Person that was employed or otherwise engaged at any time on or before the Closing Date by the Company (regardless of any Applicable Law that may impose or attempt to impose any such Liability on Buyer or any of its Affiliates). The Company will determine and pay such amounts owed in a manner and at a time that causes each recipient and proposed recipient to be paid in full such that such recipients and proposed recipients are not disadvantaged (including that they are not paid less or later in time) as a direct or indirect result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The Company will not, and will not make any effort to, directly or indirectly, by Proceeding or otherwise, collect or recover any overpayment of draws of sales commissions, or any other overpayment by the Company to any Transferred Employee.

(e) Other Employee Benefit Plans.

(1) To the extent Parent or Buyer decide to provide group insurance coverage to Transferred Employees by the assumption of an applicable insurance contract (“Transferred Insurance Contract”), as of and following the transfer date of such contract, the Parent and Buyer will permit employees (or former employees) other than Transferred Employees (“Retained Employees”) and, as applicable, their eligible dependents, to remain eligible to receive benefits under the Transferred Insurance Contracts; provided, however, that the Retained Employees will not be employees of the Buyer from and after the Closing Date. Parent and/or Buyer’s obligation under this Section 5.3(e) to permit Retained Employees and, as applicable, their eligible dependents, to remain eligible to receive benefits under the Transferred Insurance Contracts shall expire on the earlier of (w) December 31, 2012, (x) the end of the applicable plan year, (y) 10 days after the invoice date, if the Company and Seller Parent fail to pay Parent and Buyer for the cost of coverage, or (z) when the Retained Employee (or dependent) otherwise ceases to be eligible under the terms of the Transferred Insurance Contract. The Company and Seller Parent will pay Parent and Buyer for the cost of coverage under the Transferred Insurance Contracts for each Retained Employee (and covered dependents). Buyer will provide all Transferred Employees eligible to participate in Buyer’s or Parent’s plans with service credit for

purposes of eligibility, participation and vesting (and for purposes of determining benefits under vacation, paid time off, sick leave and severance plans) for all periods of employment with the Company.

(2) At the Closing the Company will honor each Transferred Employee’s PTO Balance as set forth on Schedule 5.3(e)(2), and will treat such balances in accordance with the Buyer Employment Policies.

(3) Effective immediately after the Closing Date, Buyer will take commercially reasonable actions for Transferred Employees to be paid through Buyer’s payroll function. Parent or Buyer will assume each of Seller’s Employee Plans that is a flexible benefits plan (which includes a cafeteria plan qualified under Section 125 of the Code, a medical flexible spending account plan qualified under Section 105(b) of the Code and a dependent care assistance plan qualified under Section 129 of the Code) (“Cafeteria Plan”) in order to provide continuing benefit coverage to Transferred Employees. Parent or Buyer will take commercially reasonable actions for Retained Employees to remain as participants in the Cafeteria Plan for the entire 2012 plan year, or if earlier, the date that the Retained Employee otherwise ceases to be eligible under the terms of the Cafeteria Plan. The Company will pay to the Buyer, on a monthly basis, each Retained Employee’s salary reduction elections made with respect to medical flexible spending and dependent care assistance accounts for the balance of the 2012 plan year. The Buyer will process and pay all claims for reimbursement (with respect to expenses incurred anytime during the 2012 plan year) made by such Retained Employees after the Closing Date for the balance of the 2012 plan year. Following the Closing, Company and Seller Parent will cooperate with the Parent and Buyer regarding the transfer of salary reduction elections and claims submitted for reimbursement with respect to the medical flexible spending and dependent care assistance accounts of each Transferred Employee or Retained under any such Cafeteria Plan.

(4) The Company and Buyer will mutually cooperate so that Transferred Employees who are participants in the Company Code Section 401(k) Plan (“Company 401(k) Plan”) and who will be eligible employees in the Buyer’s Code Section 401(k) Plan (“Buyer 401(k) Plan”) will be allowed to roll over their distributions from the Company 401(k) Plan into the Buyer 401(k) Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Buyer 401(k) Plan.

(f) No Amendment of Benefits nor Third-Party Beneficiary. Without limiting Section 8.4 or the foregoing terms of this Section 5.3, (1) no Employee Plan, Buyer Employee Plan or other employee benefit is or will be deemed to be amended by any term hereof and (2) no Person, including any employee (or dependent thereof) of the Company, is a third party beneficiary of any term of this Section 5.3.

5.4 Satisfaction of Unassumed Liabilities. After Closing, at the Company’s expense, the Company will satisfy all Liabilities of the Company (that are not Assumed Liabilities) in a manner that is not detrimental in any material respect to any of the relationships of the Business (including with lessors, employees, Governmental Authorities, licensors, customers and suppliers).

5.5 Certain Tax and Unclaimed Property Matters.

(a) General Requirements. The Company will file and pay when due or cause to be so filed and paid, all Tax Returns and Taxes and unclaimed property returns and filings with respect to the Company or the Company’s operation of the Business (except for Taxes related to Prorated Items that are reflected in Final Tangible Net Assets). Buyer will file and pay when due, or cause to be so filed and paid, all Tax Returns and Taxes and unclaimed property returns and filings with respect to Buyer or

Buyer’s operation of the Business and any Taxes related to Prorated Items that are reflected in the Final Tangible Net Assets.

(b) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding Section 5.5(a), the Company and Buyer will file and pay when due (with the payment shared equally by Company and Buyer) or cause to be so filed and paid all Tax Returns regarding Transfer Taxes and all Transfer Taxes, regardless of the Person on whom such Transfer Taxes are imposed by Applicable Law. Each Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects in executing and delivering certificates that accurately set forth relevant facts to entitle any Party to exemptions from the payment of Transfer Taxes (if applicable).

(c) Cooperation. Each Party will, and each Party will cause its applicable Affiliates to, cooperate in all reasonable respects with respect to Tax and unclaimed property matters and provide one another with such information as is reasonably requested to enable the requesting Party to complete and file all Tax Returns it may be required to file (or cause to be filed) with respect to the Business, to respond to Tax audits, inquiries or other Tax Proceedings and to otherwise satisfy Tax requirements. Such cooperation also will include promptly forwarding copies (to the extent related thereto) of (1) relevant Tax notices, forms or other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Authority (whether or not requested), and (2) reasonably requested copies of all relevant Tax Returns together with accompanying schedules and related workpapers, documents relating to rulings, audits or other Tax determinations by any Governmental Authority and records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property.

5.6 Covenant Not to Compete and Related Covenants.

(a) To further ensure that Buyer receives the expected benefits of acquiring the Business, each Seller (the “Non-Compete Parties”) agrees that (subject to the other terms of this Section 5.6), throughout the period that begins at the Effective Time and ends on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), the Non-Compete Parties will not, and the Non-Compete Parties will cause each Affiliate controlled by the applicable Non-Compete Party not to, directly or indirectly:

(1) engage in the Business, or assist others to engage in the Business, in the United States;

(2) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Business in the United States in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, principal, agent, or trustee (provided that any Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if such Seller is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person;

(3) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between Buyer and customers or suppliers of the Business acquired hereunder;

(4) recruit, solicit, hire or induce, or attempt to recruit, hire or induce, any individual who is then a director, officer or employee of Buyer or of any Affiliate of Buyer or otherwise interfere with or disrupt any such employment relationship (contractual or otherwise) of Buyer or of any Affiliate of Buyer, provided that, the use of general solicitations such as newspaper advertisements, other publicly disseminated job advertisements shall not be prohibited and Sellers shall not be prohibited from hiring any such individual to the extent resulting from such general solicitation;

(5) solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or to take away, the hardware and/or software products and/or services business or patronage of any then current customer, supplier or other business contact of the Business, or solicit, request, advise or induce any such Person to otherwise adversely change its business or relationship with Buyer or of any Affiliate of Buyer; or

(6) criticize or disparage in any manner or by any means (whether written or oral, express or implied) Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer or any aspect of Buyer’s or any of Buyer’s Affiliate’s management, policies, operations, products, services, practices or personnel, except in connection with a Proceeding.

(b) Each of the Non-Compete Parties specifically acknowledges and agrees that (1) this Section 5.6 is reasonable and necessary to ensure that Buyer receives the expected benefits of acquiring the Business, (2) Buyer has refused to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 5.6 and (3) breach of this Section 5.6 will harm Buyer to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy and Buyer would not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach by any of the Non-Compete Parties of this Section 5.6, (A) Buyer (in addition to all other remedies Buyer may have) will be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief (without posting any bond or other security) restraining any of the Non-Compete Parties (as applicable) from committing or continuing such breach and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its terms and (B) for any of the Non-Compete Parties (as applicable), the duration of the Non-Compete Period will be extended beyond its then-scheduled termination date for a period equal to the duration of such breach.

(c) Solely for purposes of Sections 5.6(a) and 5.6(b), “managed services” in the definition of “Business” is limited to managed services to Enterprise Customers.

5.7 Name Change; Name Usage. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Sellers will and will cause each of their Affiliates (other than Affiliates organized or incorporated in a jurisdiction other than the United States) to (a) amend its applicable Certificate of Incorporation or Articles of Incorporation to a name that does not include any Restricted Word and (b) give to Buyer a true, correct and complete copy of the filings with the applicable Governmental Authorities showing that such name changes occurred. “Restricted Word” means any of the following: (1) the following words or phrases: “Strategic Technologies”, “STI”, “StraTech”; (2) any word that is a variation of any of such words or phrases or any word or phrase that is confusingly similar to any of such words or phrases; or (3) any word or phrase that could reasonably be expected to imply any affiliation with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer. Within 30 Business Days after the Closing Date and at all times thereafter, the Company will and will cause each of its Affiliates (other than Affiliates organized or incorporated in a jurisdiction other than the United States) to not use a name that includes any Restricted Word, including on letterhead or other correspondence, employee business cards, accounts or signage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers will and will cause each of their Affiliates organized or incorporated in a jurisdiction other than the United States to refrain from conducting business in the United States under any name that includes a Restricted Word or from using any written, oral or virtual materials in the United States containing a Restricted Word; provided, however, that Sellers or their Affiliates may own and operate domain names containing Restricted Words so long as such domain names are registered in a jurisdiction other than the United States.

5.8 Items to Proper Party. After Closing, each Party will promptly deliver to the proper Party any mail or other communications, monies, checks or other instruments of payment received by such Party that belong to such other Party or to which such other Party is entitled.

5.9 Insurance and Insurance Proceeds. If after Closing, Buyer reasonably determines that any Liability that is an Assumed Liability or Loss with respect to any Acquired Asset, Assumed Liability

or the Business is covered by any insurance policy of the Company (or any Affiliate of the Company), then Buyer may give a notice to the Company that states such determination and describes the foregoing in reasonable detail. If Buyer gives such a notice, then the following will apply:

(a) The applicable Parties will cooperate in all reasonable respects to determine if the following conditions are satisfied: (A) such Liability or Loss is covered by any such insurance policy of the Company (or any of its Affiliates), and (B) the Company (or any of its Affiliates) has the right to obtain any insurance proceeds with respect thereto.

(b) If all of the conditions in the preceding clause (a) are satisfied or there is a reasonable likelihood that all of such conditions are satisfied, then, at Buyer’s expense, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds from the provider of such insurance.

(c) To the extent the Company (or any of its Affiliates) actually recovers any such insurance proceeds (which, for the avoidance of doubt, would be the amount in excess of any deductible, retention or self-insurance amount), then the Company will pay (or cause such Affiliate to pay) to Buyer an amount equal to the difference (if positive) of (A) such amount of such recovered proceeds (but not to exceed the amount of such Liability or Loss) minus (B) the reasonable costs and expenses of the Company (or any of its Affiliates) incurred in connection with the foregoing (to the extent not already reimbursed by Buyer), including with respect to any Tax.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.9 or otherwise in this Agreement shall require Company to maintain any insurance for any period of time after the Closing.

The Company and Parent will cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects to fulfill any applicable requirement of the SEC or any national securities exchange in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, including performing in sufficient time to meet any applicable filing deadline that any of them or any of their Affiliates may have. Promptly following the Closing Date, the Parent will file with the Principal Market a Listing of Additional Shares Form. If the Parent applies to have its common stock or other securities traded on any principal stock exchange or market instead of the Principal Market, Parent shall include in such application the Parent Shares and will take such other actions as are necessary to cause the Parent Shares to be so listed.

5.14 Legend Removal. Parent agrees that certificates evidencing the Parent Shares shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 3.28 or any other legend (i) following any sale of such Parent Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the resale of the Parent Shares, (ii) following any sale of such Parent Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or if the Parent Shares are transferrable

by a person who is not an Affiliate of Parent pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) without any volume or manner of sale restrictions thereunder, or (iii) if the holder provides Parent with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to Parent to the effect that the legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). Parent agrees to review any legal opinion provided by Seller Parent for purposes of clause (iii) within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of the legal opinion. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Parent Shares, the holder of such Parent Shares shall be entitled to receive from Parent as soon as reasonably practicable upon a written request in writing, without expense, new securities of like tenor not bearing the legend set forth herein.

5.15 Reporting Status. With a view to making available to the Sellers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Parent Shares to the public without registration, Parent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Parent under the Exchange Act for a period of two years following the Closing.

5.16 Listing.

5.17 Non-Public Information. Parent covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide the Sellers or their agents or counsel with any information that Parent believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Sellers, as applicable, shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. Parent understands and confirms that each such Person shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of Parent.

Except as expressly contemplated herein or as otherwise consented to in writing by Buyer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), from the date hereof through Closing, the Company will conduct its business in its Ordinary Course of Business and not do any of the following (provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.18 requires that any Seller make any capital expenditure):

(d) Assumed Liability; or

(e) Proceeding arising out of, relating to or resulting from any of the foregoing.

7.3 Certain Limitations and Other Matters Regarding Claims.

(a) Threshold on the Sellers’ Obligations. No Seller will have any obligation under Section 7.1(a) (or 7.1(h) to the extent incident to 7.1(a)), unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Sellers are obligated thereunder exceeds $125,000 (the “Threshold”), provided, however, that if such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Threshold, then the Sellers will be obligated for all of such Losses (including those equal to or less than the Threshold), subject to the other terms of this Article 7.

(b) Cap on the Company’s and Sellers’ Obligations. The Company’s and Sellers’ obligations under Section 7.1(a) (or 7.1(h) to the extent incident to 7.1(a)), in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to $2,025,00.00 (the “Cap”), subject to the other terms of this Article 7.

(c) Threshold on Buyer’s and Parent’s Obligations. Neither Buyer nor Parent will have any obligation under Section 7.2(a) (or 7.2(e) to the extent incident to 7.2(a)), unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses for which Buyer or Parent is obligated thereunder exceeds the Threshold; provided, however, that if such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Threshold, then Buyer and Parent will be obligated for all of such Losses (including those equal to or less than the Threshold), subject to the other terms of this Article 7.

(d) Cap on Buyer’s and Parent’s Obligations. Buyer’s and Parent’s obligations under Section 7.2(a) (or 7.2(e) to the extent incident to 7.2(a)), in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to the Cap, subject to the other terms of this Article 7.

(e) Consequential Damages. Losses suffered by Parent or Buyer for purposes of a claim under Section 7.1 may include Losses that are reasonably foreseeable by any Seller (any such reasonably foreseeable Losses, collectively, “Consequential Damages”). Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by any Seller for purposes of a claim under Section 7.2 may include Losses that are reasonably foreseeable by Buyer or Parent (i.e., Consequential Damages). A party’s Liability for Consequential Damages under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 of this Agreement will not exceed the Cap, except that Losses suffered by a Party in connection with a Third Party Claim (other than as set forth in Sections 7.3(b) and 7.3(d)) shall not be subject to the limitation on Consequential Damages set forth in this Section 7.3(e).

(f) Certain Treatment of Special Representations. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section, Sections 7.3(a), 7.3(b), 7.3(c) or 7.3(d) will not limit any Liability with respect to any Special Representation, except that the Sellers’ obligations under Section 7.1(a) (or 7.1(h) to the extent incident to 7.1(a)), in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price, and Buyer’s and Parent’s obligations under Section 7.2(a) (or 7.2(e) to the extent incident to 7.2(a)), in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price. “Special Representation” means any representation or warranty (A) in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 3.2 (Capitalization), 3.3(a) or 3.3(b) (Authority and Authorization; Conflicts), 3.5 (Taxes), 3.12 (Environmental Matters), 3.16 (Employee Benefits), 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing) or 4.2(a) or 4.2(b) (Authority and Authorization; Conflicts) or (B) that is fraudulently made.

(f) Knowledge Not Limiting. No right or obligation under this Article 7 will be waived or otherwise affected by any knowledge (of any form or type) of Buyer or Parent or by any investigation, due diligence or verification by or on behalf of Buyer or Parent at or before Closing. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein will be deemed material and relied upon by each Party, and none will be waived by any failure to pursue any action or consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, except to the extent stated herein.

(g) Net Recovery. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article 7 shall be net of any amounts reasonably recoverable by the Claiming Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss; provided, however, that in the case of Buyer or Parent recovering under any insurance policies maintained by Buyer or Parent, any such recovery shall be deemed to be eighty percent (80%) of any such amounts actually received by Buyer or Parent. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under this Article 7 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Article 7, the Claiming Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article 7 had such determination been made at the time of such payment. The amount of any Loss shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit, to the extent such benefit arises from (i) the incurrence or payment of any such Loss or (ii) any correlative adjustments or changes in Tax treatment that occur as a result of the adjustment or change giving rise to such Loss.

(h) Reserve in Final Tangible Net Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer or any of Buyer’s Other Indemnified Persons with respect to any Loss to the extent that an accrual or reserve for the amount of such Loss was reflected in Final Tangible Net Assets.

7.4 Certain Survival Periods.

(a) Survival of Representations and Warranties. Subject to Section 7.4(b), each representation or warranty herein will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect until the twelve month anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time such representation or warranty will expire and terminate and no indemnification obligation will be associated therewith or based thereon, except that each Special Representation will survive until all Liability hereunder relating thereto is barred by all applicable statutes of limitation.

(b) Survival of Representations and Warranties Until Final Determination. Notwithstanding Section 7.4(a), for each claim for indemnification hereunder regarding a representation or warranty that is made before expiration of such representation or warranty, such claim and associated right to indemnification (including any right to pursue such indemnification, including via any Proceeding) will not terminate before final determination and satisfaction of such claim.

(c) Survival of Covenants and Agreements. Each covenant and agreement (i.e., other than representations and warranties) herein, and all associated rights to indemnification, will survive Closing and will continue in full force thereafter until all Liability hereunder relating thereto is barred by all applicable statutes of limitation, subject to any applicable limitation stated herein.

7.5 Notice of Claims and Procedures.

(a) Notice of Claims. A Party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Claiming Party”) will give the Party obligated to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt notice of any claim, for which such Claiming Party proposes to demand indemnification, (1) by a Person that is not a Party nor an Other Indemnified Person (such a claim being a “Third Party Claim” and such notice of such Third Party Claim being the “Initial Claim Notice”) or (2) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, in each case specifying the amount and nature of such claim (to the extent known). Thereafter, the Claiming Party will give the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Claiming Party’s (or any of its applicable Other Indemnified Person’s) receipt or delivery thereof, copies of all documents (including court papers) received or delivered by the Claiming Party (or any such Other Indemnified Person) relating to any such Third Party Claim. Subject to Section 7.4, the failure to promptly give such notice or to promptly give such copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability hereunder, except if the Indemnifying Party was prejudiced thereby, but only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it was prejudiced thereby.

(b) Access and Cooperation. Each Party will, and will cause its Other Indemnified Persons to, cooperate and assist in all reasonable respects regarding such Third Party Claim, including by promptly making available to such other Party (and its legal counsel and other professional advisers with a reasonable need to know) all books and records of such Person relating to such Third Party Claim, subject to reasonable confidentiality precautions.

(1) Election to Conduct Defense. Promptly after receiving an Initial Claim Notice under Section 7.5(a), the Indemnifying Party will have the option to conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, except if (A) the aggregate amount of the potential obligations of the Claiming Party (or its Other Indemnified Persons) regarding such Third Party Claim exceeds the maximum obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement regarding such Third Party Claim, (B) it is reasonably likely that such Third Party Claim will adversely affect the Claiming Party (or any of its Other Indemnified Persons), other than as a result of money damages, or (C) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide the Claiming Party with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party that the

Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to actively and diligently conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim and fulfill the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder with respect thereto. To elect to conduct such Defense, the Indemnifying Party must give written notice of such election to the Claiming Party within 12 days (or within the shorter period, if any, during which a Defense must be commenced for the preservation of rights) after the Claiming Party gives the corresponding Initial Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party (otherwise, such right to conduct such Defense will be deemed waived). If the Indemnifying Party validly makes such election, it will nonetheless lose such right to conduct such Defense if it fails to continue to actively and diligently conduct such Defense.

(2) Conduct of Defense, Participation and Settlement. If the Indemnifying Party conducts the Defense of such Third Party Claim, then (A) the Claiming Party may participate, at its own expense (except that the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Claiming Party’s counsel, but not more than one law firm per jurisdiction, if the Claiming Party reasonably concludes that counsel to the Indemnifying Party has a material conflict of interest, in such Defense (including any Proceeding regarding such Third Party Claim) and will have the right to receive copies of all notices, pleadings or other similar submissions regarding such Defense, (B) the Indemnifying Party will keep the Claiming Party reasonably informed of all matters material to such Defense and Third Party Claim at all stages thereof, (C) the Claiming Party will not (and will cause its Other Indemnified Persons not to) admit Liability with respect to, or compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), (D) there will be no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Claiming Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and (E) the Indemnifying Party’s election to conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim will conclusively establish the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Claiming Party with respect to such Third Party Claim hereunder.

(3) Indemnifying Party Does Not Conduct Defense. If the Indemnifying Party does not have the option to conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim or does not validly elect such option or does not preserve such option (including by failing to commence such Defense within 12 days following receipt of such Initial Claim Notice or within the shorter period, if any, during which a Defense must be commenced for the preservation of rights), then the Claiming Party may conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim in any manner that the Claiming Party reasonably deems appropriate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the other limitations of this Article 7), and the Claiming Party will have the right to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

7.6 Escrow. To secure the indemnification obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, the Escrow Shares will be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and the terms of an Escrow Agreement in the form attached hereto in Exhibit 7.6 (the “Escrow Agreement”). Disbursements from the Escrow Account will occur pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Until all of the funds in the Escrow Account are disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Account will be the sole source of funds for such indemnification obligations; provided, however, after such time the Escrow Account will not be the sole source of funds for such indemnification obligations.

7.7 Exclusive Remedy; Treatment of Certain Representations.

(a) The Parties each acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, the indemnification provisions in this Article 7 shall be the exclusive remedy with respect to claims made after the Closing that relate to the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may pursue injunctive relief for breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Company fails to disclose any Major Contract with the specificity required pursuant to Section 3.8 which results in a breach of Section 3.8 or any other provision of this Agreement, such breach shall be: (i) subject to the Cap and the Threshold; and (ii) the exclusive remedy for such breach shall be a claim under Section 7.1(a) (or 7.1(g) to the extent incident to 7.1(a)) only.
