3.2(b) sets forth the capitalization of Execuserve immediately following
the Merger. Except as set forth in Schedule
3.2(b), there are no options, warrants, subscriptions, conversion rights
or securities exchange rights or other securities or other contractual rights
outstanding which require, or give any person the right to require the issuance,
delivery or sale (including the right of conversion or exchange) of any capital
stock of Execuserve whether or not such rights are presently
exercisable.
3.3 Authorization. All corporate
action on the part of Execuserve necessary for the authorization, execution,
issuance, if applicable, and delivery of each of the Loan Documents to which
Execuserve is a party has been taken and each of such Loan Documents, when
executed, issued, if applicable, and delivered by Execuserve, and assuming due
execution and delivery by the Investor and all of the other parties to this
Agreement, if applicable, shall constitute a valid and legally binding
obligation of Execuserve, enforceable against Execuserve in accordance with its
terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating
to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as
limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief, or other equitable remedies.
3.4 Consents
and Approvals. No Approval by,
from or with and no other action in respect of, any Governmental Body or any
other Person (including any trustee or holder of any indebtedness, securities or
other obligations of the Company) is required (a) for or in connection with the
valid execution and/or delivery by the Company of or the performance by
Execuserve of its obligations under the Loan Documents or the consummation by
Execuserve of the transactions contemplated thereby, or (b) as a condition to
the legality, validity or enforceability as against the Company of the Loan
Documents.
3.5 Intellectual
Property. Execuserve represents and warrants that it has full
right, title and interest in and to, or otherwise has the right to license its
Intellectual Property, except as otherwise described on Schedule 3.5. Schedule
3.5 hereto identifies Execuserve’s material Intellectual
Property. To the best of Execuserve’s knowledge, no claim is pending
nor has Execuserve received notice to the effect that its Intellectual Property
infringes or will infringe upon or conflict with the asserted rights of any
other Person, and to the best of Execuserve’s knowledge, there is no basis for
any such claim (whether or not pending or threatened). Except as set
forth on Schedule
3.5, there are no outstanding options, licenses, or agreements of any
kind relating to the foregoing, nor is Execuserve bound by or a party to any
options, licenses, or agreements of any kind with respect to its Intellectual
Property. Execuserve is not obligated or under any liability
whatsoever to make any payments by way of royalties, fees or otherwise to any
owner of or licensor or other claimant to its Intellectual
Property. No claim is pending or, to Execuserve’s knowledge,
threatened to the effect that the Intellectual Property is invalid or
unenforceable by Execuserve, and there is no basis for any such claim (whether
or not pending or, to Execuserve’s knowledge, threatened).
11
3.6 Disclosure. No representation
or warranty of Execuserve contained in this Agreement, any financial statement,
certificate or document furnished to the Investor contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statement contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made.
3.7 Non-Contravention. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a
party by Execuserve, the issuance of the securities, and the consummation by
Execuserve of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach by
Execuserve of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under
(i) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Execuserve, each as currently
in effect, (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material
agreement or instrument to which Execuserve is a party or by which it or any of
its properties or assets are bound, including any listing agreement for the
Common Stock except as herein set forth, or (iii) to its knowledge, any existing
applicable law, rule, or regulation or any applicable decree, judgment, or order
of any court, United States federal or state regulatory body, administrative
agency, or other governmental body having jurisdiction over Execuserve or any of
its properties or assets, except such conflict, breach or default which would
not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
3.8 Absence
of Certain Changes. Since December
31, 2008, there has been no Material Adverse Change with respect to Execuserve
and it has not (i) incurred or become subject to any material liabilities
(absolute or contingent) except liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practices; (ii) sold, assigned or transferred any
other tangible assets, or canceled any debts owed to the Company by any third
party or claims of the Company against any third party, except in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (iii) waived any
rights of material value, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, or
suffered the loss of any material amount of existing business; (iv) made any
increases in employee compensation, except in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practices; or (v) experienced any material problems with
labor or management in connection with the terms and conditions of their
employment.
3.9 Absence
of Litigation. As of the date of
this Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to the knowledge of
Execuserve, threatened against or affecting Execuserve before or by any
governmental authority or nongovernmental department, commission, board, bureau,
agency or instrumentality or any other person, wherein an unfavorable decision,
ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect or which would adversely
affect the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of
Execuserve to perform its obligations under, any of the Loan
Documents. Execuserve is not aware of any valid basis for any such
claim that (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such events
and circumstances) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. There are no outstanding or unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees,
writs, injunctions or stipulations to which Execuserve is a party or by which it
or any of its properties is bound, that involve the transaction contemplated
herein or that, alone or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expect to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
12
3.10 Absence
of Events of Default. Except to the
extent described on Schedule
3.10, Execuserve is not in default in the performance or observance of
any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any
material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement to which
it is a party or by which its property is bound, and (ii) no Event of Default
(or its equivalent term), as defined in the respective agreement to which
Execuserve is a party, and no event which, with the giving of notice or the
passage of time or both, would become an Event of Default (or its equivalent
term) (as so defined in such agreement), has occurred and is continuing, which
would have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.11 No
Undisclosed Liabilities or Events. To the best of
Execuserve’s knowledge, Execuserve has no liabilities or obligations other than
those disclosed in the Loan Documents or financial statements delivered to the
Investor or those incurred in the ordinary course of Execuserve’s business since
December 31, 2008, or which individually or in the aggregate, do not or would
not have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule
3.11. Except for the Merger, there are no proposals currently under
consideration or currently anticipated to be under consideration by the Board of
Directors or the executive officers of Execuserve which proposal would (x)
change its organizational documents as currently in effect, with or without
stockholder approval, which change would reduce or otherwise adversely affect
the rights and powers of Execuserve’s stockholders or (y) materially or
substantially change the business, assets or capital of Execuserve.
3.12 Full
Disclosure. To the best of
Execuserve’s knowledge, there is no fact known to it that has not been disclosed
to the Investor that would reasonably be expected to have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

Investor relating to investment in the Company; Investor has relied solely on

to Existing Loan Documents. Each of the CSC Guaranty
Agreements and the Pledge Agreement is hereby amended by (i) amending the
definition of the term “Obligations” contained in the Guaranty Agreements and

all obligations of the CSC to Agile under the A&R Debenture, whether for
principal, interest, costs, fees or otherwise (collectively, the “Obligations”)
and all references to Securities Purchase Agreement therein shall be deemed
references to this Agreement from and after the date hereof.
6. Conditions
Precedent. As a condition precedent to the Closing hereunder,
all existing secured creditors of both CSC and Execuserve (other than Agile), if
any, shall either (i) be paid in full at or prior to Closing or (ii) enter into
a subordination agreement at or prior to closing in form and substance
acceptable to Agile pursuant to which the indebtedness and liens of such secured
creditor shall be fully subordinated to indebtedness and liens favor of
Agile.
7. Miscellaneous.
7.1 Registration
Rights. For the period commencing on the date of the Closing
and terminating 42 months following the date of the Closing, each time the
Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act,
whether for the Company’s own account or for the account of holders of the
Company’s securities or both (except with respect to registration statements on
Forms X-0, X-0 or any successor or similar forms or “Rule 145” transactions),
the Company shall include all of the then unregistered Registrable Shares in the
registration initiated by the Company, provided that the
holder(s) of such Registerable Shares provide the Company with such information
and commitments as are customarily required of selling securities holders whose
securities are being registered for resale in a registration statement filed
under the Securities Act. If any particular registration to be
effected pursuant to this Section
7.1 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of
Common Stock for the account of the Company, the number of Registrable Shares to
be included in such an underwriting on behalf of the Investor may be reduced if,
and to the extent that, the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion (a
written copy of which shall be delivered to the Investor) that the inclusion of
all of the shares requested to be included in such underwriting by the Investor
would materially and adversely affect the marketing of the Common Stock to be
sold by the Company under such registration
statement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no
securities of any of the Company’s securityholders (other than the Investor)
shall be included in such registration unless all of the then unregistered
shares of Registrable Shares held by the Investor are included
therein.

used for the purposes set forth on Schedule

successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities
under or by reason of this Agreement, except as may be expressly provided
herein.
7.4 Governing
Law. This Agreement
and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of
the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance

conflicts of law.
7.5 Counterparts. This Agreement
