38 premiums to continue the effectiveness of any of the Insurance Policies or prohibit Seller from permitting any or all of the Insurance Policies to lapse in accordance with their respective terms; provided, further, that nothing is this Section 5.5(b) shall prohibit Seller from independently submitting and pursuing insurance claims under the Insurance Policies for its own account for any liabilities, whether arising prior to or following the Closing Date, that are not directly related to the operation of the Business.

For the avoidance of doubt, Seller agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser is not licensing or sublicensing to Seller the right to use or retain any Business Information contained on any IT System listed under the heading “Non-Transferred Employees’ Equipment” on Schedule 2.2 by virtue of Seller’s retention of such IT System.

(f) Seller will provide to Purchaser complete and accurate records of all withholding and other payments made by it in respect of FICA, FUTA and SUTA taxes in respect of payments made to employees since January 1, 2004, it being understood that Purchaser will rely on such records for purposes of withholding such taxes for the remainder of 2004 in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.3121(a)(1)-1.

(g) Within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have taken all corporate actions on the part of its board of directors and stockholders to duly authorize and reserve for issuance a number of shares of common stock of

Section 5.6. Transfer Taxes. All sales, use, transfer, real estate transfer, stamp, documentary and other similar Taxes which may be imposed or assessed as a result of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Purchased Assets (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Transfer Taxes exceeds $30,000, Purchaser shall be obligated to pay $15,000 of such amount and Seller shall be obligated to pay the remainder.

Any refund of Transfer Taxes shall shared in the same proportions as such Transfer Taxes were borne by Seller and Purchaser pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.6. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate reasonably to minimize the amount of Transfer Taxes, including Seller making and Purchaser accepting delivery of any Purchased Assets that constitute “prewritten programs” within the meaning of California Sales and Use Tax Regulation 1502(b)(9) in a form qualifying for the exemption from California sales and use tax under California Sales and Use Tax Regulation 1502(f)(1)(D). In addition, Purchaser represents that it intends to reproduce or copy any such prewritten programs in order for such programs to be published and distributed for a consideration to third parties within the meaning of the exemption from California sales and use tax provided by California Sales and Use Tax Regulation 1502(f)(1)(B); provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be liable for breach of the foregoing representation to the extent that Purchaser acts in a manner inconsistent with the foregoing.

Section 5.8. Employment Matters. (a) Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that the Personnel List identifies all Seller Personnel currently employed by Seller in connection with the operation of the Business. As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall mutually agree upon the timing and method of formally contacting the current Seller Personnel (including the form of any written communications) regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the procedures established pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall have the right, prior to the Closing, to contact such Seller Personnel, as Purchaser deems appropriate in its discretion, for the purpose of making offers of employment with Purchaser effective as of the Closing on terms and conditions of employment determined by Purchaser and receiving written acceptances of such employment (in each case contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Purchaser shall offer employment at the Closing, on a full-time or transitional basis, to all employees of Seller other than the Non-Transferred Employees listed on Schedule 3.30. Any Seller Personnel, other than any Transitional Employees, who receives and accepts an offer of employment from Purchaser is hereinafter referred to as a “Transferred Employee.” At the Closing, Seller shall terminate each Transferred Employee and Transitional Employee and Purchaser’s offers of employment shall become effective immediately upon such termination by Seller. Purchaser shall give each

40 Transferred Employee credit for his or her years of most recent continuous service with Seller for purposes of determining participation in, and benefit levels under, all of Purchaser’s vacation policies and benefit plans and programs (other than stock-based or similar equity incentive plans). Any Seller Personnel who does not become an employee of the Purchaser shall remain an employee of the Seller. Purchaser shall not be liable for any employees who do not become employed by Purchaser, except that Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of severance to Transitional Employees upon termination of their employment by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to, and Seller shall remain fully responsible for, all amounts (including, without limitation, any severance payments) owing to any Seller Personnel who do not become Transferred Employees or Transitional Employees (the “Non-Transferred Employees”); provided, however, that severance payments owing to those Non-Transferred Employees identified on Schedule 3.30 who are terminated by Seller on the Closing Date and amounts owed for accrued but unpaid paid time off vacation to Transitional Employees identified on Schedule 3.30 whose employment is terminated by Seller may be paid by Seller out of its cash balances prior to the Closing; provided, further, that, to the extent the severance amount paid by Seller to any Non-Transferred Employee prior to the Closing exceeds the severance amount with respect to such individual on Schedule 3.30, the Cash Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of such excess on a dollar for dollar basis. Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a successor employer with respect to the employment of any Transferred Employee or Transitional Employee with respect to any benefit plans maintained by Seller for the benefit of such Transferred Employee or Transitional Employee. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon any Transferred Employee or Transitional Employee any right with respect to employment by Purchaser, nor shall anything herein interfere with the right of Purchaser, following any employment of any Transferred Employee or Transitional Employee, to terminate the employment of such Transferred Employee or Transitional Employee at any time, with or without cause, or restrict Purchaser in the exercise of its independent business judgment in modifying any of the terms and conditions of the employment of any such Transferred Employee or Transitional Employee. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall create a contract of employment or alters the at will status of any employee hired by Purchaser.

(b) The offer of employment of each Transferred Employee shall expressly provide that (i) any accrued paid time off balances owing to such individual by Seller shall be carried over by Purchaser as an Assumed Liability (“Transferred Paid Time Off”), (ii) such individual will be eligible for Purchaser’s paid time off program (it being understood that Transferred Employees may accrue paid time off under Purchaser’s paid time off program until December 31, 2004 (“Accrued Paid Time Off”); however, beginning January 1, 2005, Transferred Employees may only accrue additional paid time off under Purchaser’s paid time off program to the extent that the balance of their Transferred Paid Time Off and Accrued Paid Time Off does not exceed Purchaser’s paid time off accrual limitations), and (iii) such individual is waiving his or her right to payment of accrued paid time off upon termination by Seller at Closing and releasing Seller (and its officers and directors) from any wage liability in connection with Purchaser’s agreement to carry over such accrual in lieu of Seller’s payment thereof at Closing.

(c) The bonus amounts due and owing to certain Seller Personnel set forth on Schedule 3.30 may be paid by Seller out of its cash balances prior to the Closing; provided, however, that, to the extent the bonus amount paid prior to the Closing by Seller to any

41 Seller Personnel exceeds the amount set forth or calculated with respect to such individual in accordance with Schedule 3.30, the Cash Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of such excess on a dollar for dollar basis. Seller represents and warrants that the bonus(es) shall be paid only to the extent accrued in accordance with the terms of the bonus plan or arrangement in the ordinary course of business.

(d) All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.8 in accordance with Schedule 3.30 shall be subject to applicable tax withholdings.

Section 5.11. Customer Non-Solicit. For a period of three years following the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, initiate communications with, solicit, persuade, entice, induce, encourage or assist any person who is then or has been within the preceding 12-month period a client, customer, supplier or account subject to a Customer Agreement, to terminate or adversely change its contractual or other relationship with the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

42 Section 5.12. Lock-Up Period. Except for transfer to a liquidating trust of Seller or to stakeholders of Seller in accordance with the transfer provisions of the Notes, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, for a period of one year after the date on which any Shares are issued upon conversion of the Notes in accordance therewith, Parent will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any such Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such Shares, enter into any transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Purchaser. In addition to any transfer restrictions contained herein or in the Notes, Parent shall not transfer the Notes or any portion thereof or interest therein to any Person unless such Person agrees in writing to be subject to a substantially similar lock-up provision.

Section 5.13. Seller Filings. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it is obligated to file all Tax and other regulatory filings of Seller relating to all periods prior to the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, all sales tax returns, W-2s, federal and state income tax returns, Forms 5500 and other Benefit Plan filings.

(vii) any liability to which Purchaser may become subject as a result of the fact that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are being effected, at the request of Seller, without compliance with the provisions of any bulk transfer provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (or any similar law (including, without limitation, the bulk sales laws of the State of California)); and

(viii) any suit, action or other proceeding brought by any governmental authority or other Person arising out of, or in any way related to, any of the matters referred to in Section 8.1(b)(i) through (vii).

47

Any such Losses may be satisfied by Seller on a dollar for dollar basis, at the election of Seller, by forgiving any of the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Any net insurance proceeds or net proceeds from a third party indemnification payment received by Purchaser during the pendency of an indemnification claim against Seller with respect to that claim shall be credited against the amount of such indemnification claim and any such net proceeds received by Purchaser after payment in full of such indemnification claim by Seller shall be paid over to Seller.

(c) Purchaser’s Agreement to Indemnify. Purchaser will fully indemnify and hold harmless Seller and all of its Affiliates, employees, representatives, attorneys, consultants and agents against and in respect of any and all of Seller’s Losses arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty or representation of Purchaser made in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits hereto and the certificates delivered hereunder);

(ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any agreement, covenant or obligation of Purchaser made in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits hereto and the certificate delivered hereunder);

(iii) any Assumed Liability;

(iv) Purchaser’s ownership of the Purchased Assets or operation or control of the Business on and after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any and all liabilities arising from the sale of the Products or under the Customer Agreements which relate to events occurring after the Closing Date;

(v) any liability arising in connection with any claim asserted by Xxxx Xxxxx against Seller, as described in Schedule 3.8, including liability for any possible settlement of any such claim; provided, that the amount of any indemnification hereunder shall be limited to $36,500;

(vi) any brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding made, or alleged to have been made, by any Person with Purchaser (or any Person acting on Purchaser’s behalf) in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(vii) any suit, action or other proceeding brought by any governmental authority or other Person arising out of, or in any way related to, any of the matters referred to in Section 8.1(c)(i) through (vi).

Any net insurance proceeds or net proceeds from a third party indemnification payment received by Seller during the pendency of an indemnification claim against Purchaser with respect to that claim shall be credited against the amount of such indemnification claim and any such net proceeds received by Seller after payment in full of such indemnification claim by Purchaser shall be paid over to Xxxxxxxxx.

(x) Third Party Claims. Promptly after the receipt by any party hereto of notice of any claim, action, suit or proceeding of any Person which is subject to indemnification hereunder, each such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice of such claim to the party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”), stating the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. So long as notice is given prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have on account of this indemnification or otherwise, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby, and in such case, only to the extent of the prejudice caused by such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense or settlement of such matter and the parties agree to cooperate in any such defense or settlement and to give each other full access to all information relevant thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, no compromise or settlement of such claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses from claims by third parties and shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims, notwithstanding any dispute as to liability as between the parties under this Section 8.1. The parties shall also cooperate in any such defense, give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto and make employees and other representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided in connection therewith. If the Loss incurred relates to the failure of Purchaser to collect any note or account receivable and if Seller pays in full the unpaid balance thereof to Purchaser or Seller, Purchaser will cause Seller to assign said note or account without recourse to Seller paying same in full satisfaction of Seller’s indemnification obligation as to such uncollected note or account. Any collection procedures by Seller will be carried out in a reasonable manner so as not to prejudice Seller’s relationship with the account debtor.

(e) Purchaser shall not be entitled to deduct or offset the amount of any payment due from Seller pursuant to this Section 8.1 or otherwise from any payments that Purchaser is obligated to make to Seller pursuant to any of the Notes, except as follows:

(i) during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date the New Restricted Note is issued, Purchaser may deduct or offset payments under the Non-Transferable Note against any indemnification claims (including Tax/Employee Benefit Claims and Sales Tax Claims) submitted prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date and finally resolved prior to the date the New Restricted Note is issued;

(ii) during the period beginning on the date the Non-Transferable Note is surrendered for exchange in accordance with its terms and ending on the date the New Restricted Note is surrendered for exchange in accordance with its terms, Purchaser may deduct or offset payments under the New Restricted Note against (A) any indemnification claims (including Tax/Employee Benefit Claims and Sales Tax

49 Claims) submitted prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date that remain unresolved as of the date the New Restricted Note is issued but are finally resolved prior to the date the New Restricted Note is surrendered for exchange in accordance with its terms and (B) any Tax/Employee Benefit Claims or Sales Tax Claims submitted prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date that are finally resolved prior to the date the New Restricted Note is surrendered in accordance with its terms; and

(iii) from and after the date the New Restricted Note is surrendered in accordance with its terms, Purchaser may deduct or offset payments under the Final Restricted Note against (A) any timely submitted indemnification claims (including any indemnification claim submitted prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date that remain unresolved as of the date the Final Restricted Note is issued, Tax/Employee Benefit Claims submitted prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date that remain unresolved as of the date the Final Restricted Note is issued and Sales Tax Claims submitted prior to the first business day following the third anniversary of the Closing Date that remain unresolved as of the date the Final Restricted Note is issued, in each case only upon final resolution of such claims. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be entitled to deduct or offset the amount of any payment due to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1 or otherwise from any payments that Purchaser is obligated to make to Seller or its permitted transferees under the Transferable Note, the Initial Unrestricted Note, the Additional Unrestricted Note or any of the Debtholder Notes. All capitalized terms referred to in this Section 8.1(e) that are not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Non-Transferable Note.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims under Section 8.1(b)(i) or Section 8.1(b)(vi) to the extent relating to a matter referred to in Section 8.1(b)(i): (i) until the total of all Losses with respect to such matters exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Indemnity Threshold”), in which case the Purchaser indemnities shall be entitled to recover all Losses from the first dollar of Losses, and (ii) in excess of One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000) (the “Maximum Indemnification Amount”); provided, however, that such limitations shall not apply (A) to Losses arising pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii) through (vii) or Section 8.1(b)(viii) to the extent relating to a matter referred to in Section 8.1(b)(ii) through (vii), (B) in the case of fraud or willful breach, or (C) to Losses arising pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(v). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fees and expenses (including interest) associated with the credit facility provided pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement dated June 1, 2004 by and between Parent and Silicon Valley Bank specified on Schedule 2.3 shall be deemed to be a Loss to be applied against the Indemnity Threshold relating to Seller’s agreement to indemnify Purchaser. For avoidance of doubt, by way of illustration, if the fees and expenses (including interest) associated with such credit facility are $80,000 and Purchaser incurs an additional $50,000 of Losses, Seller shall be liable to indemnify Purchaser for $130,000. Further, if the fees and expenses (including interest) associated with such credit facility are $80,000 and Purchaser incurs less than $20,000 of additional Losses (in the aggregate), Seller shall not be liable to indemnify Purchaser for any such amounts.

50 (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims under Section 8.1(c)(i) or Section 8.1(c)(vi) to the extent relating to a matter referred to in Section 8.1(c)(i): (i) until the total of all Losses with respect to such matters exceeds the Indemnity Deductible, in which case the Seller indemnities shall be entitled to recover all Losses in excess of the Indemnity Deductible, and (ii) in excess of the Maximum Indemnification Amount; provided, however, that such limitations shall not apply (A) to Losses arising pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) through (v) or Section 8.1(c)(vi) to the extent relating to a matter referred to in Section 8.1(c)(ii) through (v), or (B) in the case of fraud or willful breach.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in Section 8.1(e) above and as otherwise set forth in the Notes, nothing in this Agreement shall (i) impair the obligation of Purchaser, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay Seller all principal of and interest on the Notes as and when due and payable, or (ii) prevent Seller, upon default of the Notes, from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise provided in the Notes or by applicable law.

(i) The indemnification provided in this Section 8.1 shall, except for fraud, and except for equitable remedies, constitute the exclusive legal remedy available to the parties with respect to claims made pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits hereto and the certificates delivered hereunder).

Section 8.2. Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Parent and Purchaser, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party or parties in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 8.3. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the parties shall bear their own respective expenses (including, but not limited to, all compensation and expenses of counsel, financial advisors, consultants, actuaries and independent accountants) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. No expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be assumed by Purchaser as an Assumed Liability, nor shall any of the Purchased Assets be in any way reduced by the payment of any such expenses.

Section 8.4. Public Disclosure. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees with the other parties hereto that, except (i) as may be required to comply with the requirements of applicable Law (including, without limitation, disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K) or (ii) for public disclosure necessary or appropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser and/or any underwriters of the Purchaser in connection with any private placement or public offering of securities of the Purchaser (including, without limitation, offering memoranda, filings with the Securities Exchange Commission, filings with any securities exchange or market, road shows and rating agency presentations), no press release or similar public announcement or

51 communication will be made or caused to be made concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement unless specifically approved in advance by all parties hereto; provided, however, that to the extent that either party to this Agreement is required by applicable Law to make such a public disclosure, such public disclosure shall only be made after prior consultation with the other party to this Agreement.

Section 8.5. Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall not be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred, by Purchaser or by Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of Purchaser or for collateral security purposes to any lender providing financing to Purchaser. Seller agrees to enter into such amendments to, or restatements of, this Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto as may be reasonably required to give effect to this Section 8.5, so long as such amendments or restatements do not materially adversely affect the rights of Seller hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules and Exhibits hereto), the Related Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.

Section 8.7. Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any party to any other party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled by an Affiliate of such party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such party.

Section 8.8. Parties in Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Purchaser and Seller or their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.9. Schedules. Each of the parties hereto shall (a) give prompt notice to the other party of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would cause any representation or warranty by such party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing Date and shall promptly deliver to the other party an amended or supplemental Schedule to such representation or warranty; and (b) give prompt notice to the other party of any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder or under any Related Document; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 8.9 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice. No notification under this Section 8.9 shall be deemed to cure any breach or default or event of default or render any representation or warranty incomplete or inaccurate. No disclosure set forth in a particular schedule shall be deemed to apply to any other schedule unless specifically cross-referenced to such other schedule.

Section 8.10. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original by the

52 parties executing such counterpart, but all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.

Section 8.11. Headings. The section and paragraph headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
