The Purchase Price shall be paid as provided in Section 2.02.

2.02. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP in Boston, MA on November 5, 2004, or at such other time thereafter or place as Buyer and Seller may agree, but in no event prior to the expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act (November 1, 2004, 11:59 p.m. Boston time). At the Closing:

(i) Buyer shall deliver to Seller an amount equal to US$164,729,612, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account of Seller, such account to be designated by the Seller by written notice to Buyer not later than two business days prior to the Closing Date.

(ii) Seller shall deliver to Buyer certificates for the Shares duly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank, with any required transfer stamps affixed thereto.

(iii) Seller shall deliver the original corporate record books and stock record books of the Company and each wholly-owned Subsidiary and the stock certificates and investment documents in connection with the Company’s investments.

(iv) The appropriate parties shall execute and deliver the Ancillary Agreements.

(v) The parties shall execute and deliver, and shall cause the other parties thereto to execute and deliver, any other instruments, documents and certificates that are required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement or as may be reasonably requested by any party in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.03. Closing Balance Sheet.

(i) Within 90 days of the Closing Date, Buyer (itself or through a firm of independent public accountants designated by Buyer) shall in good faith prepare and deliver to Seller (a) the Closing Balance Sheet reflecting all balance sheet items of the Company as of 12:01 AM on the Closing Date, without giving effect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Closing Dividend provided for in Section 6.04) and (b) a reasonably detailed calculation of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital as of the Closing Date. The Closing Balance Sheet shall (x) fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of 12:01 AM on the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP and (y) be prepared in accordance with accounting policies and practices used by the Company on or prior to the Closing and set forth on Schedule 2.03. Upon request of Seller which request shall be made within 45 days of receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Buyer shall, within 30 days of such request, provide (a) Seller with such additional information, documents, records and the like (the “Records”) and (b) Seller and its advisors and representatives access to Company personnel and Records (the “Access”) as is reasonably necessary in order for Seller (and its accountants and advisors) to evaluate Buyer’s calculation of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital.

(ii) If Seller disagrees with Buyer’s calculation of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(i), Seller may, within 45 days after delivery and/or provision of all Records and/or Access, respectively, requested by Seller within the 45-day period referred to in Section 2.03(i), deliver a notice to Buyer disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for disagreement and Seller’s calculation of such amount. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees, and Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(i).

(iii) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.03(ii), the parties shall, during the 45 days following such delivery, use their best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital, which amount shall not be less than the amount thereof shown in Buyer’s calculations delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(i), nor more than the amount thereof shown in Seller’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(ii). If, after such 45-day period, the parties are unable to reach such agreement, either Buyer or Seller may thereafter cause an independent accounting firm of internationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Buyer (who shall not have any material relationship with the Seller, the Company, or the Buyer or any other of their Affiliates), promptly

to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Minimum Net Operating Working Capital. In making such calculation, such independent accountants shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Balance Sheet or Buyer’s calculation of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital as to which Seller has disagreed. Such independent accountants shall provide such calculation of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital in accordance with GAAP and the accounting policies and practices used by the Company on or prior to the Closing and set forth on Schedule 2.03. Correspondence with the independent accountant shall be in writing, with a copy to the Seller or Buyer, as applicable. If correspondence is verbal, both of Seller and Buyer or their representatives must be present during such verbal discussions. Such independent accountants shall deliver to Seller and Buyer, as promptly as practicable, a report in reasonable detail setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. The cost of such review and report shall be borne (a) by Buyer if the Minimum Net Operating Working Capital as determined by the independent accountant is not revised in favor of the Seller, (b) by Seller if the Minimum Net Operating Working Capital as determined by the independent accountant is revised in favor of Seller and (c) otherwise equally by Seller and Buyer.

(iv) The parties hereto agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants and the Company to cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 2.03, including without limitation the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

2.04. Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) If, based on the Closing Balance Sheet (as agreed to following resolution of any disagreement pursuant to Section 2.03 above), there is a Working Capital Shortfall, Seller shall refund from the Purchase Price paid by Buyer to Seller at the Closing the amount of such Working Capital Shortfall. Any such refund pursuant to this Section 2.04(i) shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place (a) within 45 days after the Buyer’s delivery and/or provision of all of the Records and/or Access, respectively, requested by Seller within the 45-day period referred to in Section 2.03(i), if no notice of disagreement with respect to Minimum Net Operating Working Capital is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(ii) or (b) if a notice of disagreement with respect to Minimum Net Operating Working Capital is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(ii) above, then within five (5) business days after the earlier of (1) agreement between the parties pursuant to Section 2.03(iii) with respect to the calculations of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital and (2) delivery of the calculation of Minimum Net Operating Working Capital by the independent accountants referred to in Section 2.03(iii).

(ii) Method and Nature of Payment. Any such refund to Buyer to be made pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be made by Seller via wire transfer, certified check or official bank check payable in immediately available funds to Buyer as may be designated at such time by Buyer. Any such refund made in accordance with this Section 2.04 shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

The Seller’s obligation to pay the Adobe Damages is in addition to, and independent of, its obligations to pay the Adobe Litigation Costs, in each case, subject to the Adobe Litigation Expense Cap and the Adobe Damages Cap, respectively. The Adobe UK Arbitration Costs shall be the sole responsibility of the Seller and shall not impact the Adobe Damages Cap or the Adobe Litigation Expense Cap. The Company shall be responsible for any Adobe Damages in excess of $4,000,000.

(e) Consent To Settlement. In the event of any settlement, compromise, discharge or other resolution associated with the Adobe Litigation that would result in Adobe Damages, the Company shall obtain Seller’s prior written consent to any such settlement, compromise, discharge or other resolution without the prior written consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(f) Additional Payment Triggered by Adobe Recovery. Upon receipt of any (i) Adobe Recovery or (ii) the amount by which the Adobe Litigation Costs upon a final, non-appealable cash award or dismissal with prejudice of the Adobe Litigation are below the Adobe Litigation Expense Cap, without duplication ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Upside”), the Company shall, in good faith, calculate the aggregate amount due to then-current employees of the Company eligible to receive a payment under the Transaction Bonus Plan as a result of the Upside (such employees, the “Eligible Employees” and such payment, the “Additional Payment”). The Company shall then provide such good faith calculation to Seller in reasonable detail, along with such other documents and records (including, without limitation, payroll records and other proof of employment) as Seller reasonably requests to substantiate such calculation. Seller shall then pay to the Company the amount of such aggregate Additional Payment (or, alternatively, may request that the Company offset such amount against the amount of any such Adobe Recovery payable by the Company to Seller). Upon receipt of such aggregate Additional Payment amount (whether by cash payment by Seller or offset of payment owed by the Company to the Seller), the Company shall promptly and in any case pursuant to the Acknowledgment and Release Agreements between the Company and certain employees of the Company, pay such amount received from Seller to the Eligible Employees (with each such Eligible Employee receiving the portion of such Additional Payment to which such Eligible Employee is entitled as set forth in the notice delivered to Seller.

action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section. The failure of the Aggrieved Party to promptly deliver notice in writing to the Indemnifying Party under this Section 12.03(i) will not adversely affect the applicable Aggrieved Party’s right to indemnification except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party may participate in and control the defense of any third party suit, action or proceeding at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 12.02 for any settlement effected without its consent of any claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder.

The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of such claim, action or proceeding, consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement, except in either event with the prior consent of the Aggrieved Party, which judgment or settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Company or the Aggrieved Party (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding, (a) the Indemnifying Party agrees to cooperate and make available to the Aggrieved Party (X) all such books and records as in the possession or control of the Indemnifying Party, and (Y) such officers, employees and agents of the Indemnifying Party as are in any such case reasonably necessary and useful in connection with the defense.

(b) After the Closing, Article XII will provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, the breach of any covenant or other agreement, or the losses, liabilities, damages, out-of-pocket expenses suffered or incurred in connection with any of the foregoing or any action, proceeding or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

14.04. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of his or its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other parties hereto, except that Buyer may transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates and their respective successors in interests and lenders, its rights under this Agreement, including the right to purchase all or a portion of the Shares and its right to indemnification, but no such transfer or assignment will relieve Buyer or the Company of its obligations hereunder.

14.05. Further Assurances. (a) If at any time, or from time to time, at or after the Closing Date, any party to this Agreement shall consider or be advised that any further agreements or other instruments of conveyance and transfer, assignments or assurances in law or any other things are reasonably necessary, desirable or proper more effectively to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each other party hereto agrees that it will execute and deliver (or cause such of its subsidiaries as is appropriate to execute and deliver) all such agreements, instruments, assignments and assurances in law and do all things reasonably necessary, desirable or proper to assist such party if it so requests.

(b) The parties acknowledge that there may be patents, trademark registrations/applications and/or copyright registrations/applications that have been issued by, registered with or filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or Register of Copyrights or the corresponding offices of other countries that should be in the name of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, but instead are now in the name of a predecessor in interest of the Company (the “Filings”). Seller and its Affiliates shall cooperate with the Company at the Company’s expense after the Closing to update or correct the chain of title of the Filings to the extent necessary. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, arranging for Seller or the appropriate Affiliate thereof to execute and deliver any further agreements or other instruments of conveyance and transfer, assignments or assurances in law or any other things that are reasonably necessary, desirable or proper to update or correct the Filings.

14.06. Governing Law. This Agreement and, except as otherwise set forth therein, the Ancillary Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

14.07. Counterpart. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

14.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the other written agreements referenced herein together with schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein has been made or relied upon by any party hereto. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

14.09. Captions. The captions herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof.

14.10. Dispute Resolution. (a) Subsequent to the procedures set forth in Section 12.03 hereof, if applicable, if any dispute, claim or controversy (each a “Disagreement”) arises out of or relating to (i) this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements other than a Disagreement related to the adjustment to Minimum Net Operating Working Capital (which shall be governed by Section 2.03 hereof), or (ii) the negotiation, validity or performance hereof or thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to seek a fair and equitable resolution of the Disagreement. If, after such negotiations, the parties are not able to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the Disagreement, then either party may deliver a notice of disagreement to the other party, which notice describes the Disagreement in reasonable detail and sets forth the complaining party’s complaint in reasonable detail and details the specific points in dispute. Thereafter, the parties shall promptly thereafter submit the Disagreement to mediation before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. for an additional ninety (90) day period, such mediation to be in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. rules and regulations governing mediation, as reasonably acceptable to the parties. The parties shall each pay their own fees and expenses and one-half of the costs and charges of any such mediation.

(b) If, following the mediation period, which shall not exceed such ninety (90) days from the date of the applicable notice of Disagreement unless the parties hereto consent to a longer period of mediation, the parties still have not reached agreement on or resolved the Disagreement, either: (i) both the parties hereto shall agree to enter binding arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in section 14.10(c) below or (ii) either party may bring an action or proceeding seeking to resolve any Disagreement, such action or proceeding to be brought against the other party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, or in the United States District Court for the District of

Massachusetts, and each of the parties hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein.

(c) If, following the mediation period set forth in Sections 14.10(a) and (b) above, the parties hereto agree to submit a Disagreement to binding arbitration, any such arbitration proceeding shall be held before a single neutral arbitrator on a list of approved arbitrators as shall be provided by J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. in Boston, Massachusetts or such other location as is mutually agreed to by the parties hereto. Any such arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the rules and regulations promulgated by J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. unless specifically modified herein. The parties covenant and agree that any such arbitration hearing shall commence within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date on which any party hereto files a written demand for arbitration of a Disagreement; provided that upon the submission by one party of a demand for arbitration, such filing party shall, within three (3) business days, provide the other party with notification of the submission of a Disagreement to arbitration, which notice shall explain, in reasonable detail, the nature of the Disagreement and the specific points in dispute. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three (3) depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than fourteen (14) business days before the date of the arbitration hearing, the identity of all persons who may testify at the arbitration, a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration and a summary of the opinions of any experts whose services may be called upon in any such arbitration hearing, as well as the basis for said opinions. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages in the event of any such arbitration hearing. The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration hearing in good faith and that they will share equally its costs, except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the prevailing party) against any party to an arbitration proceeding. Any party unsuccessfully refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. If the parties hereto elect to submit any Disagreement to binding arbitration, the provisions of this Section 14.10(c) shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Except as provided above with regard to the arbitrator’s right to assess costs and expenses against any party, the parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with any such arbitration. The parties will share equally in the fees and expenses charged by J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc.

Nothing set forth in this Section 14.10 shall prevent either party hereto from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA or from the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, provided such party seeks relief in order to avoid immediate and irreparable harm.

14.11. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be unenforceable by reason of its extension for too great a period of time or over too large a geographic area or over too great a range of activities, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area or range of activities as to which it may be enforceable. If, after application of the preceding sentence, any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. Any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision of this Agreement shall be severable, and after any such severance, all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

14.12. Currency. All references herein to monetary amounts shall refer to United States dollars and shall be referenced herein as US$ or $.
