(a) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the following to be prepared and delivered to Buyer: unaudited balance sheets of the Company for the two fiscal years and any interim fiscal period ending prior to the Closing Date, and unaudited income statements and unaudited cash flow statements of the Company for the two fiscal years and any interim fiscal period ending prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Seller shall instruct its external auditors to audit the financial statements contemplated by Section 5.1(a) and furnish an audit report thereon to Buyer in time for Buyer to comply with its filing obligations under Form 8-K of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Transaction. Buyer shall pay to the Company’s auditing firm its fees and expenses for such audit. Seller will allow and instruct such auditing firm to cooperate with Buyer’s external auditors with respect to backup documentation and workpapers related to such financial statements and its audit thereon.

5.2 Seller Intellectual Property.

(a) If Seller or any assignee of Seller owns or has any right or interest in any Company Intellectual Property that cannot be, or for any reason is not, assigned to Buyer at the Closing, Seller (i) shall provide Buyer with a reasonably detailed list of all such Company Intellectual Property; (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the assignment as promptly as practicable after the Closing and (iii) hereby grants or shall cause to be granted to Buyer, at the Closing, a worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable and exclusive license to Exercise All Rights in and to such Company Intellectual Property.

(b) If Buyer is unable to enforce Company Intellectual Property Rights transferred to it hereunder against a third party as a result of any Legal Requirement that prohibits enforcement of such rights by a transferee of such rights, Seller agrees to assign, to the extent legally practicable, to Buyer such rights as may be required by Buyer to enforce its Intellectual Property Rights in its own name.

(c) Seller shall, promptly following the Closing, use reasonable efforts to procure that all Encumbrances on any Company Registered Intellectual Property, which Encumbrances were in existence prior to the Closing Date, are released and cleared from the record of each such Company Registered Intellectual Property. In the event that Seller is unable to procure the release and clearance of any such Encumbrance on any Company Registered Intellectual Property, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all Buyer Damages arising out of any claim against Buyer seeking to enforce such Encumbrance.

5.3 Cooperation. After the Closing, to the extent applicable and upon the reasonable request of Buyer, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to (a) execute and deliver any and all further materials, documents and instruments of conveyance, transfer or assignment as may reasonably be requested by Buyer to effect, record or verify the transfer to, and vesting in Buyer, of Seller’s right, title and interest in the Company and the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) cooperate, to the extent necessary, with Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, to enforce the terms of any Company Contracts, including terms relating to confidentiality and Intellectual Property Rights, and to contest or defend against any Proceeding relating to the Transaction or to the operation of the Company before the Closing Date. After the Closing, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to: (i) refer to Buyer all inquiries relating to the business of the Company; and (ii) promptly deliver to Buyer (A) any mail, packages and other communications addressed to Seller relating to the Company and (B) any cash or other property that Seller receives and that properly belongs to the Company. Neither Seller nor any of its Representatives shall take any action that is intended and designed to diminish the value of the Company after the Closing or to interfere with the Company after the Closing, including disparaging to customers the name or business of Buyer or that of the Company after the Closing.

5.4 Transferred Trademarks. From and after the Closing, Seller shall not use and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to use (i) the terms “Birdstep”, “Bird Step” or any similar name, (ii) any of the domain names or URLs owned by the Company at Closing, or (iii) any Trademarks or trade name owned by the Company at Closing; provided, that Seller shall have thirty (30) days after Closing to remove the name “Birdstep” from its signs, advertisements, marketing brochures, purchase orders, invoices, sales orders, labels, letterheads, shipping documents, packaging materials for products and other materials. Buyer acknowledges that the change of Seller’s name must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders of Seller, the approval of which Seller cannot guarantee, however, Seller will propose such name change at its extraordinary general meeting to consider the Transaction and if not so approved at such meeting, Seller will use its best efforts to procure such name change within one hundred eighty (180) days after Closing.

5.5 Non-Competition Agreement.

(a) For and in consideration of the Transaction contemplated herein, during the period commencing with the Closing Date and ending on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not directly or indirectly (including through any Affiliate) engage in any Competitive Activity anywhere in the world.

(b) The term “Competitive Activity” shall mean (i) engaging in any activity that is directly competitive with the Company as currently conducted; (ii) engaging in the development or distribution of any product or service that is directly competitive with any Company Product or any product or service currently under development by the Company; or (iii) diverting or attempting to divert from the Company any business of any kind in which it is engaged, including the solicitation of or interference with any suppliers, contractors, or customers.

(c) It is the understanding of the parties that the scope of the covenants contained in this Section 5.5 are necessary to protect the rights of Buyer and the goodwill that is a part of the Company. It is the parties’ intention that these covenants be enforced to the greatest extent (but to no greater extent) in time, area, and degree of participation as is permitted by the law of that jurisdiction whose law is found to be applicable to any acts in breach of these covenants. It being the purpose of this Agreement to govern competition by Seller in the world, these covenants shall be governed by and construed according to that law (from among those jurisdictions arguably applicable to this Agreement and those in which a breach of this Agreement is alleged to have occurred or to be threatened) which best gives them effect. The prohibitions in each of paragraphs (a)-(b) above shall be deemed, and shall be construed as separate and independent agreements between Buyer on the one hand, and Seller on the other. If any such agreement or any part of such agreement is held invalid, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall in no way render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part of them or any separate agreement not declared invalid, void or unenforceable; and this Agreement shall in such case be construed as if the invalid, void, or unenforceable provisions were omitted.

(d) The parties agree that, in the event of breach or threatened breach of Seller’s covenants in this Section 5.5, the damage or imminent damage to the value and the goodwill of Buyer and the Company may be irreparable and extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Accordingly, the parties agree that Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against Seller in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any of such covenants by Seller, in addition to any other relief (including damages) available to Buyer under this Agreement or under applicable law.

(e) The parties agree that the covenants of Seller not to compete contained in this Section 5.5 may be assigned by Buyer to any Person who may acquire substantially all of Buyer or the Company or their respective assets. to whom may be transferred the Company by the sale or transfer of their business and assets or otherwise. It is the parties’ intention that these covenants of Seller shall inure to the benefit of any Person that may succeed to the Company or Buyer with the same force and effect as if these covenants were made directly with such successor.

5.6 Non-Solicitation of Employees. From the date hereof until five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, solicit for employment any Employee of the Company at Closing; provided, however, that this Section 5.6 shall not preclude Seller or any of its Affiliates from soliciting for employment or hiring any such individual who responds to a general solicitation through a public medium, employment firm or otherwise that is not targeted at the Company’s Employees or the Company. This Section 5.6 shall not apply to any Employee whose employment with Buyer or its successor is involuntarily terminated by the Company after the Closing.

5.7 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Company, except to the extent that Seller can show that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange regulations, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts (subject to statutory requirements and/or constraints) to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that Seller, being a listed company on the Oslo Stock Exchange, is required to publish a (i) detailed stock exchange announcement and (ii) an information document in accordance with Sections 3.4 and 3.5, respectively, of the Continuing Obligations of Stock Exchange Listed Companies and that Seller may make such other disclosures as are required under applicable Norwegian securities laws and regulations.

5.8 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.9 Dissolution of Seller. To ensure the ability of Seller to satisfy any Buyer Damages arising under Article 8, the Transaction Documents or otherwise from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall use its reasonable commercial efforts (without the board of directors of Seller compromising its fiduciary or other duties under applicable law) to procure that Seller’s shareholders do not, without the prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld), liquidate, dissolve or wind up its affairs prior to the Survival Date specified in Section 8.1, and, until the Survival Date, shall retain net assets in an amount reasonably sufficient to cover potential Buyer Damages under this Agreement or make other provisions reasonably acceptable to Buyer, such as purchasing representation and warrant insurance. Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer at least sixty (60) days in advance of any resolution of its Board or shareholders to liquidate, dissolve or wind up Seller or legal filing to commence such process, if such event occurs prior to the Survival Date.

(a) by the mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;

(b) by either Buyer or Seller if (i) the non-terminating party is in breach of any provision of this Agreement, which breach would cause any of the conditions set forth in Article 6 not to be satisfied and such breach shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days of receipt by such party of written notice from the terminating party of such breach; and (ii) the terminating party is not, on the date of termination, in material breach of any material provision of this Agreement;

ARTICLE 8. INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a) All representations and warranties of Seller contained in Article 2 shall survive the Closing until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”); provided, however, that Section 2.2 (“Organization of Company”) and Section 2.4 (“Capitalization of Company”) shall survive for the full period of any applicable statutes of limitations for claims, and provided, further, that any good faith claim for indemnification based upon a breach of any representation or warranty and asserted prior to the Survival Date by written notice in accordance with Section 8.4 shall survive until final resolution of such claim.

(b) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and any right to indemnification for breach thereof) shall not be affected by any investigation, verification or examination by any party hereto or by any Representative of any such party or by any such party’s Knowledge of any facts with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty, other than actual Knowledge of any fact set forth in this Agreement or the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

(d) The respective covenants, agreements and obligations of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by or on behalf of any party hereto, and the Closing Date in accordance with their respective terms.

8.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 8, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Representatives (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Damages, whether or not involving a third-party claim, including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Buyer Damages”), to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from:

(a) the failure of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Article 2 (including the Seller Disclosure Schedule) to be true and correct;

(b) severance pay, salaries, bonuses, or other compensation or payment due to any current or former Employee or consultant of the Company arising or accruing during or for any period prior to the Closing, except for normal accrued vacation or other paid time off in the normal course of business, reflected on the Financial Statements and consistent with past practice;

(c) any taxes or obligations for payroll, employment or employee benefit schemes arising or accruing during or for any period prior to the Closing;

(d) failure by Seller to place Buyer in possession and control of 100% of the beneficial and record ownership of the capital stock of the Company at Closing; and

(e) any failure by Seller to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant set forth in this Agreement.

8.3 Exclusive Remedy. Recovery from Seller pursuant to this Section 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees for all Buyer Damages for which they are entitled to be indemnified (the “Seller Indemnification Obligations”), or under any other theory of liability in contract, tort, equity or otherwise arising out of, in connection with or related to this Agreement. No shareholder or Representative of Seller shall be liable to Buyer or any Indemnitee for any damages or other remedies arising out of, in connection with or related to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or therein.

8.4 Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) Claims. Promptly and no later than sixty (60) days after becoming aware of any Buyer Damages for which they are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2 (but in no event later than the Survival Date), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certificate signed by an appropriately authorized officer of Buyer (a “Claim Certificate”), (i) stating the aggregate amount of Buyer Damages or an estimate thereof, in each case to the extent known or determinable at such time and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Buyer Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach or claim and the section under this Agreement pursuant to which such item is related. In the absence of any objections to such Claim Certificate as provided in Section 8.4(b) by the date set forth in Section 8.4(b), Buyer shall, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 8.6, be entitled to recover from Seller the amount of such Buyer Damages in satisfaction of the Seller Indemnification Obligations.

(b) Objection to Claim Certificate.

(i) Seller shall have thirty (30) days after delivery to it of a Claim Certificate to deliver to Buyer a written response to such Claim Certificate (a “Claim Response”). If after such thirty (30) day period Seller has not delivered a Claim Response to Buyer or it has delivered a Claim Response which does not dispute any portion of the claims contained in the Claim Certificate, the Seller Indemnification Obligations in the amount specified in the Claim Certificate shall become final (subject to Section 8.6). If the Claim Response disputes any claims contained in the Claim Certificate, Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith for an additional thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If Seller and Buyer should so agree, a certificate setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties.

(ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiations, either Buyer or Seller may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter, unless the amount of the damage or loss 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 arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three (3) arbitrators in accordance with Section 10.8.

(c) Third-Party Claims. Promptly and no later than sixty (60) days after the assertion by any third party of any claim against any Indemnitee (a “Third-Party Claim”) (but in no event later than the Survival Date) that, in the judgment of such Indemnitee, may result in the incurrence by such Indemnitee of Buyer Damages for which such Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall deliver to Seller a written notice describing in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim (subject to Section 8.4). Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable in its sole discretion by written notice to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnitee of the commencement of or assertion of any Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense and control the settlement of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense and settlement of any Third-Party Claim. If Seller does not elect to undertake and conduct the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall undertake the defense of such Third-Party Claim. In the event Seller has assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim, Seller shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement or judgment relates solely to monetary damages and provides for a complete release of the Indemnitee, in which case, no such consent shall be required. The Indemnitee shall have the right to settle, or consent to the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim for which Seller has not assumed the defense. Whether or not Seller elects to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim, both parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

8.5 Purchase Price Adjustment. Seller and Buyer agree to treat each indemnification payment pursuant to this Article 8 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by any applicable Legal Requirement or pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or an analogous provision of state, local or foreign law.

8.6 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, under no circumstances will the aggregate of all Buyer Damages and other liabilities of Seller under this Agreement exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD $250,000) (the “Seller’s Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that the Seller’s Indemnification Cap shall not apply to any Seller Indemnification Obligation arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller, (ii) Buyer Damages arising under Section 8.2(b), (c), (d) or (e), or (iii) breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1 (“Organization of Seller”), Section 2.2 (“Organization of Company”), Section 2.3 (“Organizational Documents”), Section 2.4 (“Capitalization of Company”), Section 2.23 (“Proceedings”), Section 2.24 (“Environmental”), or Section 2.24 (“Taxes”), in which case the aggregate of all Buyer Damages and other liabilities of Seller under items (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not exceed Two Million Dollars (USD $2,000,000). Moreover, Seller shall have no liability with respect to any single loss which does not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars (USD $10,000) and Seller shall have no liability unless all the losses in the aggregate exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars (USD $25,000), after which Buyer shall be entitled to recover all Buyer Damages excluding the Basket.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) no claim for Buyer Damages related to or arising from (A) the value, condition or availability of any Tax asset of Seller or (B) the ability of Buyer or its Affiliates to utilize such Tax asset following the Closing, shall be subject to a claim for recovery by any Indemnitee hereunder; (ii) any Buyer Damages recoverable from Seller hereunder shall be reduced in amount by any Tax benefits and insurance proceeds that may be realized by any Indemnitee, and Buyer and any Indemnitees shall, as a condition to receiving any amounts from Seller or otherwise seeking recovery hereunder, use all reasonable efforts to realize such benefits or proceeds; (iii) no Buyer Damages shall be recoverable from Seller hereunder that (A) constitute punitive, consequential, incidental, indirect or special damages, (B) could have been avoided through reasonable efforts to mitigate such Damages which were not taken by Buyer and/or any Indemnitees or (C) are Taxes that are attributable to Buyer under this Agreement; and (iv) the amount of any Damages subject to recovery under Article 8 shall be calculated net of any amounts specifically accrued or reserved for in the Financial Statements of the Company, as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with IFRS consistently applied.

(c) No liability shall arise in respect of any breach of this Agreement or otherwise if and to the extent that any claim occurs as a result of any legislation not in force at the date hereof, or which takes effect retrospectively, or occurs as a result of any increase in the rate of tax in force at the date hereof or any change in practice of the authorities.

ARTICLE 9. TAX MATTERS

9.1 Notwithstanding any Legal Requirements to the contrary, Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay any Transfer Taxes when due, and shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes; provided, however, that, if required by any Legal Requirement, Seller will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

The party required by law to pay any such Straddle Period Tax (the “Paying Party”) shall file the Tax Return related to such Straddle Period Tax within the time period prescribed by law and shall timely pay such Straddle Period Tax. To the extent any such payment exceeds the obligation of the Paying Party hereunder, the Paying Party shall provide the other party (the “Non-Paying Party”) with notice of payment, and within 10 days of receipt of such notice of payment, the Non-Paying Party shall reimburse the Paying Party for the Non-Paying Party’s share of such Straddle Period Taxes.

9.6 To the extent relevant to the Company, each party shall (a) provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be required in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return and the conduct of any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings relating to any liability for Taxes and (b) retain and provide the other with all records or other information that may be relevant to the preparation of any Tax Returns, or the conduct of any audit or examination, or other proceeding relating to Taxes.
