(l) The rights and obligations granted to Seller under this Section 4.4 may be assigned by Seller to Zix Corporation or any of its affiliates subject at all times to such Assignee’s agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Section 4.4.

4.5 Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a) Noncompetition. Other than permitted pursuant to Section 4.4, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor its affiliates shall, anywhere in the United States, directly or indirectly invest in, own, manage, operate, control or guarantee the obligations of any entity engaged in or planning to become engaged in the business of developing, designing, manufacturing or maintaining url (web filtering), anti-virus, or anti-spam products (“Competing Business”). The parties will negotiate in good faith with a view toward entering into a mutually acceptable OEM arrangement within 30 days of the Closing, pursuant to which Seller or its affiliated companies would be permitted to resell Buyer’s anti-spam and url (web filtering) products and services.

(b) Nonsolicitation. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, in connection with the collection of accounts receivables of the Inspector Business), do any of the following:

(1) Solicit, for any Competing Business, the business of any customer of the Inspector Business;

(2) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Buyer to cease doing business with Buyer or in any way adversely interfere with its business relationship with Buyer;

(3) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Seller on the Closing Date or within the year preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business with Buyer or in any way adversely interfere with its business relationship with Buyer; or

- 13 -

(4) hire, retain or attempt to hire or retain any employee or independent contractor of Buyer for a Competing Business or in any way adversely interfere with the relationship between Buyer and any of its employees or independent contractors.

(c) Modification of Covenant. If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in this Section 4.5 is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. This Section 4.5 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 4.5 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Purchased Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Seller.

4.6 Sublicense. To the extent permitted under the Additional Patent License Agreement (“APLA”) dated as of September 25, 2003 between Seller, Seller’s affiliates and Tumbleweed Communications, Corp., Seller hereby grants to Buyer a sublicense of all of Seller’s rights under the APLA to allow Buyer to provide services to Buyer’s customers who will utilize Seller’s products.

4.7 Right to Use. For a period of one year from the date of this Agreement, Buyer grants to Seller and its affiliates a limited, personal, fully paid-up, non-transferable right to use, for internal purposes only, the binary version of the “Web Inspector” product transferred to Buyer hereunder. Such right to use may not be assigned or transferred in any way (other than to Seller’s affiliates) and shall be for the sole benefit of Seller and its affiliates. The Web Inspector product is provided by Buyer AS IS, with no express or implied warranties of any kind, which are hereby expressly disclaimed in their entirety. The Buyer shall have no obligation to maintain or support the Web Inspector product whatsoever. The Buyer shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages whatsoever in connection with the right to use. This right to use will terminate automatically if Seller fails to comply with any term or condition of this Section 4.7. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from any losses, damages, costs or other expenses incurred by the Buyer to the extent arising out of Seller’s use or misuse of the Web Inspector product or breach of this Section 4.7. All rights not expressly granted by Buyer to Seller herein are hereby reserved by the Buyer.

(b) copies of all consents and approvals set forth in Section 5.2 of the Disclosure Schedule necessary to insure that Buyer will continue to have the same full rights in respect to such Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities as Seller had immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereunder shall have been obtained; and

5.3 Deliveries by Buyer. At the Closing, Buyer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, as appropriate, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, against the deliveries specified in Section 5.2:

(a) cash in the amount of $2,126,000 by wire transfer as specified by Seller;

(b) the Promissory Note;

(d) such other documents as Seller may reasonably request, duly executed and acknowledged or notarized where appropriate.

5.4 Further Assurances and Post-Closing Covenants; Consent of Third Parties.

(a) Each party to the Agreement agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request and without further consideration, do, execute, perform, acknowledge, and deliver all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, endorsements and assurances as may be reasonably required for the assignment, transfer, grant, conveyance, assurance and confirmation to Buyer, or its successors and assigns, of the Purchased Assets sold to Buyer as provided herein. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer within 30 days of the Closing the third party consents referenced in Schedule 2.7 of the Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Consent Of Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Purchased Asset, including any contract or agreement, permit, certificate, approval, authorization or other right, which by its terms or by law is nonassignable

- 15 -

without the consent of a third party or a governmental authority or is cancelable by a third party or governmental authority in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents promptly. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Seller in fulfilling the foregoing obligations. Once the consent to assignment of any Nonassignable Asset is obtained, such Nonassignable Asset shall be deemed to be automatically assigned to Buyer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement without further action by any party hereto. Seller shall not have any liability to Buyer arising out of the operation or management of the Nonassignable Assets other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct or violations of its obligations under this Agreement. As of and from the Closing Date, Seller authorizes Buyer, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Buyer’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Seller under the Nonassignable Assets. In the event a Purchased Asset set forth on Section 5.2 of the Disclosure Schedule remains a Nonassignable Asset 14 days following the Closing Date, the principal amount due under the Promissory Note shall be reduced by the amount set forth opposite the applicable contract on Section 5.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule. If, after a reduction of the Promissory Note pursuant to the preceding sentence, a consent is received for such Nonassignable asset within 90 days of the Closing Date, the applicable amount set forth on Section 5.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule shall be returned to the principal balance due under the Promissory Note.

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Survival; Remedy for Breach. The representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, and 3.2 herein shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect indefinitely, and the remaining of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation or warranty with respect to which an indemnity may be sought will survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate if notice given in good faith of the specific breach or inaccuracy thereof giving rise to such indemnity is given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought, prior to such time. Covenants contained in this Agreement which, by their terms, are to be performed after the Closing, are not within the scope of this Article 9. As used hereinafter in Article 9, the term “Damages” means any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, response costs, remediation costs and other costs of investigating and preparing for any matters giving rise to indemnification or attempting to avoid or mitigate the same or oppose the imposition; provided, however, that Damages shall not include indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages. Nothing in the foregoing paragraph shall preclude either party from bringing an action for fraud involving intentional and wanton conduct with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.2 Indemnification of Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, Seller will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all Damages incurred by Buyer arising from, or as a result of:

- 16 -

(a) any claim made by a third party with respect to the operation of the Inspector Business or the Purchased Assets by Seller prior to the Closing Date;

(b) any Liability other than an Assumed Liability; or

(c) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement, including any Schedule hereto, or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

6.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all Damages incurred by Seller , arising from, or as a result of:

(a) any claim made by a third party with respect to the operation of the Inspector Business or the Purchased Assets following the Closing Date;

(b) any Assumed Liability;

6.4 Limitation on Indemnification. Buyer and Seller shall be liable under this Article VI only for the amount by which Damages for which they or it would otherwise be liable under this Article VI shall exceed $100,000.

6.5 Claims for Indemnification. Subject to the limitations stated in Section 6.1 and the special procedures for third party claims set forth in Section 6.6, whenever any claim arises for indemnification hereunder, the party seeking indemnification (in each such case, the “Indemnified Party”), must notify the party or parties from whom indemnification is being sought (in each such case, the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim in writing promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for such claim; each Indemnified Party will also so notify the Indemnifying Party promptly after the commencement of any legal proceedings with respect to any such claim. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party only to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a direct, proximate result of such failure. Such notice will specify all facts known to such Indemnified Party giving rise to the indemnification sought and the amount or an estimate of the amount of the obligation or Liability arising therefrom. Such notice will also include photocopies of all relevant communications received from third party claimants and their attorneys. The right of such Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder and the estimated amount thereof, as set forth in such notice, will be deemed agreed to by the Indemnifying Party unless, within 30 days after such notice is given, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party disputes the right to indemnification as set forth or estimated in such notice, in which case the parties will endeavor in good faith to settle and compromise such dispute, and if they fail to settle and compromise the dispute within 60 days, they shall resolve the dispute by binding arbitration.

- 17 -

6.6 Third Party Claims. Subject to the limitations stated in Section 6.1, except as specifically provided for hereinafter, if the facts giving rise to any indemnification provided for herein will involve any actual or threatened claim or demand by any person other than a party to this Agreement or its successors or permitted assigns (a “third party”) against any Indemnified Party or any possible claim by an Indemnified Party against any third party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, upon its election, by written notice given to the Indemnified Party as soon as reasonably practicable and in any case within 30 days after the date on which notice of the claim or demand is given to the Indemnifying Party, to assume the defense or prosecution of such claim and any litigation resulting therefrom at its expense and through counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, that if by reason of the claim of such third party a lien, attachment, garnishment or execution is placed upon any of the property or assets of such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party, if it desires to exercise its right to defend or prosecute such claim or litigation, will furnish an indemnity bond or other form of security reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to obtain the prompt release of such lien, attachment, garnishment or execution. Section 6.1 will not apply to any third party claim which is filed against an Indemnified Party within the period specified in Section 6.1 but as to which the Indemnified Party does not receive notice until after the period specified in Section 6.1. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense or prosecution of any such claim or litigation, it will take all steps necessary in the defense, prosecution or settlement of such claim or litigation. In any such suit, action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party will have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at its own expense unless (a) the parties mutually agree to the retention of such counsel or (b) the named parties to such suit, action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party and the representation of both parties by the same counsel presents a conflict of interest as reasonably determined by counsel to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party may settle any claim without the consent of any Indemnified Party, but only if the sole relief granted is money damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and either (a) the consent to the entry of any judgment or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnified Party of a release from all Liability with respect to such claim or litigation or (b) the litigation against the Indemnified Party is dismissed with prejudice in its entirety. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense or prosecution of any such claim or litigation within the 30 day period specified above, the Indemnified Party may defend against or prosecute such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate and may settle such claim or litigation, after giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as such Indemnified Party may deem appropriate; and the Indemnifying Party will promptly reimburse such Indemnified Party for the Damages incurred as a result of such settlement. Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall prevent the Indemnified Party from taking such action, prior to the Indemnifying Party’s agreement to assume the defense of a claim, as is reasonably necessary to prevent the taking of a default judgment, temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction against the Indemnified Party, and the reasonable costs of such action shall be deemed Damages hereunder. If no settlement of such claim or litigation is made, the Indemnifying Party will promptly reimburse such Indemnified Party for the amount of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim or such litigation and for all expenses, legal and other, incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any such judgment for which the Indemnified Party has been so reimbursed pursuant hereto, provided,

- 18 -

however, that if such judgment is appealable and such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of its intention not to appeal, the Indemnifying Party may prosecute such appeal, at its sole cost and expense and subject to the obligations set forth herein.

6.7 Payment of Indemnity. Each amount determined to be payable by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party under the terms hereof (“Indemnity”) will be paid in cash to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after the date on which the Indemnifying Party is notified in writing of the amount of such Indemnity, as finally determined in accordance with the terms hereof. Each such notice will itemize the Damages comprising the Indemnity, and such itemization shall be certified to be true and correct by the Indemnified Party or its legal representative.
