(b) Notwithstanding Section 1.4(a), the Purchaser shall not assume and shall not be responsible to pay, perform or discharge any Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates of any kind or nature whatsoever other than the Assumed Liabilities (the “Excluded Liabilities”).

(i) any and all Liabilities to the extent arising from, or incurred in connection with, the Excluded Assets;

(ii) any and all Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates for Seller Transaction Expenses (as defined in Section 10.5(b) below);

(iii) any and all Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates listed on Part 1.4(b) of the Disclosure Letter;

(v) any Liability for (x) Taxes of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller or relating to the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities for any Pre-Closing Period, (y) Taxes that arise out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to Section 1.6 or (z) other Taxes of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller of any kind or description (including any Liability for Taxes of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller that becomes a Liability of Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser under any common Legal Requirement doctrine of de facto merger or transferee or successor liability or otherwise by operation of contract or Legal Requirement, except current real estate and personal property taxes with respect to the Business or the Transferred Assets to the extent such Taxes relate to a Post-Closing Period);

(vi) subject to Part 1.4(a) of the Disclosure Letter, any Liabilities of Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller for any Pre-Closing Period relating to present or former employees, officers, directors, retirees, independent contractors or consultants of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, including, without limitation, any Liabilities associated with any claims for wages or other benefits, bonuses, accrued vacation, workers’ compensation, severance, retention, termination or other payments;

(vii) any Liabilities to indemnify, reimburse or advance amounts to any present or former officer, director, employee or agent of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, including, with respect to any breach of fiduciary obligations;

(viii) any Liabilities associated with debt, loan or credit facilities of the Seller and/or any Affiliate of Seller; and

(ix) any Liabilities arising out of, in respect of or in connection with the failure by Seller or any of its Affiliates to comply with any Legal Requirement or Order.

1.5 Inventory Adjustment.

(a) At least three business days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser its good faith estimate of the book value of the Transferred Inventory as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Inventory Value”). The Closing Payment will be adjusted upwards or downwards as follows: (i) if Estimated Inventory Value exceeds $9,000,000 (the “Inventory Value Target”), then the Closing Payment will be increased by such excess, and (ii) if the Estimated Inventory Value is less than the Inventory Value Target, then the Closing Payment will be reduced by the amount by which Estimated Inventory Value is less than the Inventory Value Target.

(b) Any amount by which the book value of the Transferred Inventory as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Inventory Value”) is less than the Inventory Value Target will reduce the Purchase Price, and any amount by which the Closing Date Inventory Value is greater than the Inventory Value Target will increase the Purchase Price.

(c) Within 70 calendar days of the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a statement setting forth the calculation of the Closing Date Inventory Value as of immediately before the Closing, including the components thereof.

(d) The Purchaser will notify the Seller in writing of any objections to the Seller’s computation of Closing Date Inventory Value within 15 calendar days after the Purchaser receives the statement thereof. If the Purchaser does not notify the Seller of any such objections by the end of that 15-day period, then the Closing Date Inventory Value will be considered final at the end of the last day of that 15-day period. If the Purchaser does notify the Seller of any such objections by the end of that 15-day period and the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve their differences within 15 calendar days thereafter, then the Purchaser and the Seller will instruct their respective accountants to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such disputed items to their mutual satisfaction and to deliver a final calculation of Closing Date Inventory Value to the Purchaser and the Seller as soon as reasonably possible. If the Purchaser’s accountants and the Seller’s accountants are unable to resolve any such disputed items within 15 calendar days after receiving such instructions, then the remaining disputed items and the value attributable to them by each of the Purchaser and the Seller will be submitted to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller (the “Accounting Arbiter”) for resolution, and the Accounting Arbiter will be instructed to determine the final Closing Date Inventory Value and deliver the same to the Purchaser and the Seller as soon as possible. The Accounting Arbiter will consider only those items and amounts in the Purchaser’s and the Seller’s respective calculations of the Closing Date Inventory Value that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Purchaser and the Seller have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Arbiter may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Accounting Arbiter’s determination of the Closing Date Inventory Value will be based solely on the financial records of the Business consistent with the past practices of the Business (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definition of Closing Date Inventory Value included herein. The determination of the Accounting Arbiter will be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. Neither the Purchaser nor the Seller will have any right to, and will not, institute any Proceeding challenging such determination or with respect to the matters that are the subject of this Section 1.5, except that the foregoing will not preclude a Proceeding to enforce such determination. If the Accounting Arbiter’s determination of Closing Date Inventory Value is closer to the value initially asserted by the Purchaser to the Accounting Arbiter, then the Seller will pay the costs of the Accounting Arbiter. If the Accounting Arbiter’s determination of Closing Date Inventory Value is closer to the value initially asserted by the Seller to the Accounting Arbiter, then the Purchaser will pay the costs of the Accounting Arbiter. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser and their respective Affiliates will cooperate with and assist the Accounting Arbiter to determine the final Closing Date Inventory Value, including by making available and granting reasonable access to records and employees. The terms of engagement of the Accounting Arbiter for the purposes of this Section 1.5(c) shall be such reasonable commercial terms as shall be agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser consistently with the provisions of this Section 1.5. If the Seller and the Purchaser fail to agree on terms of engagement for the Accounting Arbiter within 5 calendar days, the Seller and the Purchaser agree that each of them will execute the standard form of the Accounting Arbiter’s terms of engagement as proposed by the Accounting Arbiter for its appointment.

(e) Within five (5) business days after the final determination of the Closing Date Inventory Value in accordance with this Section 1.5:]

(i) if the Closing Date Inventory Value is greater than the Estimated Inventory Value, the Purchaser will cause the amount by which the Closing Date Inventory Value exceeds the Estimated Inventory Value to be paid to the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller; and

(ii) if the Closing Date Inventory Value is less than the Estimated Inventory Value, the Seller shall cause the amount by which the Closing Date Inventory Value is less than the Estimated Inventory Value to be paid to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser.

1.6 Transfer Taxes. To the extent any sales (including bulk sales), value added, use, transfer, ad valorem, privilege, gross receipts, registration, conveyance, excise, license, goods and services, stamp or similar Taxes and documentary charges, recording fees or other charges or fees that arise out of, in connection with or are attributable to the sale of the Transferred Assets to the Purchaser or any of the other Transactions (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”) are imposed, such Transfer Taxes shall be the responsibility of, and timely paid by, both the Purchaser and the Seller in equal proportions. Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees for the Business operations prior to or in connection with the Closing (and Purchaser shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary). The Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Transfer Taxes, if any, arising out of or relating to the Transactions, including by Purchaser accepting delivery of software assets located in the State of California by electronic transmission from Seller’s or Seller’s Affiliates’ place of business to Purchaser’s computers in accordance with California Sales and Use Tax Regulation 1502(f)(1)(D), with Seller and its Affiliates having no obligation to deliver any tangible assets in connection with the delivery of such software.

1.7 Allocation. The Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to reach an agreement as to the allocation of the Purchase Price attributable to the Transferred Assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and for tax purposes and Legal Requirements of other applicable jurisdictions. If such agreement is achieved by the Seller, on the one hand and the Purchaser, on the other hand, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent applicable, prepare and file Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 on a basis consistent with such agreement and shall take no contrary position except to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. If such agreement is not achieved by the Seller, on the one hand and the Purchaser, on the other hand, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall allocate the Purchase Price attributable to the applicable Transferred Assets in accordance with their separate determinations.

1.8 Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1, the closing of the sale of the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxxx, German & Xxxxx, P.C. in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at a time to be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller, on a date (no later than the second business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1), or such other time and date mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller. For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Date” shall mean the date on which the Closing actually takes place.

1.9 Third Party Consents. To the extent that rights of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller under any Contract or Governmental Authorization constituting a Transferred Asset, may not be assigned to Purchaser without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller or its Affiliate shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. The expenses incurred by Seller and its Affiliate(s) to obtain any such consent(s) shall be borne by Seller. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Purchaser or its Affiliates’ rights under the Transferred Asset in question so that Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller shall (or cause its Affiliate to), to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirement and the Transferred Asset, (i) act after the Closing as Purchaser’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder; and (ii) cooperate with the Purchaser in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Purchaser or its Affiliate; provided, that to the extent such benefits are provided to Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser, Purchaser shall be responsible for all corresponding Liabilities arising after the Closing but only to the extent that such Liabilities do not relate to any failure to perform, improper performance, warranty or other breach, default or violation by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller on or prior to the Closing.

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER.

(d) The amount of Damages recoverable by any Indemnitees hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually paid to the Indemnitee, and the Tax benefits to which any of the Purchaser Indemnitees is entitled, relating to such Damages, after deducting all attorneys fees, expenses and other costs of recovery and any deductible associated therewith to the extent paid.

(e) The limitations on the indemnification obligations of the Seller and the Purchaser set forth in Sections 8.4(a), 8.4(b), and 8.4(c) shall not apply to any Damages arising from any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation or in the case of fraud.

8.5 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to any injunction or other equitable remedies that may be available to the Indemnitees, from and after the Closing Date, the Indemnitors shall not be liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever (whether for indemnification or otherwise) to the Indemnitees for a breach of this Agreement or , the Bills of Sale, the Assumption Agreements, and the Non-UK Transfer Document except as expressly provided in this Section 8, and, subject to the foregoing, this Section 8 provides the exclusive remedy and cause of action of Indemnitees against any Indemnitor with respect to any matter arising out of or in connection with a breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that no claim against an Indemnitor for fraud by such Indemnitor shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 8.5.

8.6 Holdback. A Purchaser Indemnitee shall be paid from the Indemnification Holdback Fund the amount of any Damage for which it has been finally determined in accordance with Part 10.9(d) of the Disclosure Letter that such Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8, promptly after such final determination. So long as any of the Indemnification Holdback Amount remains in the Indemnification Holdback Fund, the Indemnification Holdback Fund shall be the sole source of recovery for any Damage incurred by a Purchaser Indemnitee under Section 8.2 of this Agreement. The period during which claims for indemnification from the Indemnification Holdback Fund may be initiated shall commence on the Closing Date and terminate at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on December 31, 2014 (the “Indemnification Holdback Claim Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, on the date of expiration of the Indemnification Holdback Claim Period, such portion of the Indemnification Holdback Fund as may be necessary, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, to satisfy any then unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Damages (to the extent specified in any Claims Notice delivered to the Seller pursuant to Section 8.2 prior to the expiration of the Indemnification Holdback Claim Period) shall remain in the Indemnification Holdback Fund until such claims for Damages have been resolved or satisfied in accordance with this Article 8. Within three business days after the date of expiration of the Indemnification Holdback Claim Period, the Indemnification Holdback Fund, less any amount determined pursuant to the previous sentence, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller.

8.7 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any Proceeding with respect to which any Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8, the Indemnitor shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense (including settlement or compromise) of such Proceeding on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnitor may not settle or compromise any such Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor prompt notice after it becomes aware of the commencement of any such Proceeding against the Indemnitee; provided, however, any failure on the part of the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitor, or any of the rights of the Indemnitee, under this Section 8 (except to the extent such failure prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). If the Indemnitor elects to assume and control the defense of any such Proceeding: (a) at the request of the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor any material documents and materials in the possession of the Indemnitee that may be necessary to the defense of such Proceeding; (b) the Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed of all material developments relating to such Proceeding; and (c) the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Proceeding at its own expense. If the Indemnitor does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such Proceeding, the Indemnitee may proceed with the defense of such Proceeding with counsel of its own choice.

9.5 Credit for Prior Service. To the extent not otherwise required by or resulting from operation of any Legal Requirement, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, recognize each Transferred Employee’s period of employment with the Seller (and any Affiliate of Seller or predecessor of Seller or such Affiliate) for purposes of vesting, eligibility and level of benefits under the Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements in which any Transferred Employee will be eligible to participate following Closing, including but not limited to, the Seller’s and its Affiliates’ applicable welfare benefit plans, employee pension plans, vacation, disability, sick leave, paid time off and severance benefit plans, programs and arrangements.

9.6 Waiver of Pre-Existing Conditions. With respect to any plan that provides medical, disability, dental, vision or similar benefits maintained by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser, Purchaser shall (and Purchaser shall cause its Affiliates to) cause any and all pre-existing condition (or actively-at-work or similar) limitations, waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements to be waived with respect to all Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents.

9.7 Special Jurisdiction Transferred Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, the Purchaser shall employ (or shall cause an Affiliate of the Purchaser to employ) all of the Eligible Employees who are employed by the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller as of the Closing and whose transfer of employment to the Purchaser or an Affiliate in connection with the Transactions is required pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements (each, a “Special Jurisdiction Transferred Employee”). The Purchaser shall (and shall cause each of its applicable Affiliates to) comply with all applicable provisions of the EC Council Directive No. 2001/23 as implemented by applicable local regulations, or other country-specific legal standards or applicable Legal Requirements, in connection with the transfer of the employment of the Special Jurisdiction Transferred Employees to the Purchaser or to an Affiliate of the Purchaser.

9.8 Employee Notices. To the extent any notification, information or consultation requirements are imposed by applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the Transactions with regard to any Eligible Employees, the Purchaser and the Seller agree to cooperate to ensure that such notification, information and consultation requirements are completed.

9.9 No Third-Party Rights. No provision in this Section 9 shall (i) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of Seller or any of its Affiliates or any other Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (ii) constitute or create an employment agreement or (iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan (including any Seller Benefit Plan) sponsored or maintained by the Purchaser or the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales in connection with any such Proceeding;

(ii)

irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any claim, dispute or difference concerning this Agreement, any matter arising from it and the negotiations leading up to it being entered into; and

(iii)

irrevocably waives any right that it may have to object to an action being brought in those Courts, to claim that the action has been brought in an inconvenient forum or to claim that those Courts do not have jurisdiction.

(c) Notwithstanding the submission to that exclusive jurisdiction or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement any party may bring proceedings in the courts of any other state which have jurisdiction for reasons other than the parties’ choice, for the purpose of seeking:

(i)

an injunction, order or other non-monetary relief (or its equivalent in such other state); and/or

any relief or remedy which, if it (or its equivalent) were granted by the courts of England and Wales, would not be enforceable in such other state.

10.14 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent it shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Agreement but, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by any Legal Requirements.
