delivered by Purchaser to Seller in immediately available funds by wire transfer on the Closing
Date to one or more accounts designated by Seller in a written notice delivered to Purchaser prior

(b) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver Three Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars

and the Escrow Agreement.
1.04 Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) On or before the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall conduct an audit of Seller’s
Inventory to the extent that it can be observed without unreasonably disrupting the operation of
the Business. Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare a written
schedule of all items of Inventory as of the Closing Date that Purchaser was unable to observe as
part of the foregoing audit (the “Inventory Schedule”). The Inventory Schedule shall indicate the
condition of each item of Inventory included thereon.
(b) Within forty five (45) calendar days following the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be
prepared and shall deliver to Purchaser, along with the Inventory Schedule, a
EXECUTION COPY
statement of Assets and Assumed Liabilities (the “Closing Date Statement”) based on the
balance sheet of Seller as of the Effective Time. The Closing Date Statement shall include only
the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.
(c) Except as set forth in the following sentence, the Closing Date Statement shall be
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and, to
the extent not inconsistent therewith, the past practices of Seller applied on a consistent basis.
For purposes of the Closing Statement: (i) used Inventory that has been fully refurbished shall be
valued based upon the amount that it would sell for between a willing buyer and a willing seller
made at wholesale, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having reasonable
knowledge of relevant facts; (ii) used Inventory that has been partially refurbished but requires
additional refurbishing by Purchaser shall be valued at fifty percent (50%) of the amount that it
would sell for between a willing buyer and a willing seller made at wholesale, neither being under
any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts; (iii) used
Inventory that has not been restored to merchantable condition, and is not capable of being so
restored without undue effort, shall be valued at zero; and (iv) Accounts Receivable aged over
ninety (90) days and not collected on the date that the Closing Date Statement is actually
finalized pursuant to subsection (f) below shall be valued at zero.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Net Assets” means an amount equal to the difference
between the following: (i) the amount of the current Assets as set forth on the Closing Date
Statement; minus (ii) the Adjusted Assumed Liabilities Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, the
“Adjusted Assumed Liabilities Amount” means an amount equal to the Assumed Liabilities, reduced
by fifty percent (50%) of the amount of liabilities related to deferred revenue, and
increased by the amount of the upfront license fee in the amount of $7,633 required to be
paid by Purchaser to obtain a 12-month license agreement for 17 seats of Sugar Enterprise On-Site
from Sugar CRM, Inc. after Closing.
(e) Based on the foregoing calculation of Net Assets above, if the amount of Net Assets is:
(i) a positive amount (i.e., greater than zero), then Purchaser shall pay Seller in cash the amount
of the Net Assets, and (ii) a negative amount (i.e., less than zero), Seller shall pay Purchaser in
cash the amount by which Net Assets are less than zero.
(f) Purchaser shall have the right to review fully all work papers relating to the Closing
Date Statement in order to confirm that the Closing Date Statement has been determined as provided
herein. Purchaser shall complete its review within forty five (45) days after such determination
has been made available for review. If Purchaser believes that any adjustment should be made to
the Closing Date Statement in order for Net Assets to be determined in accordance with the
requirements of this Section, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of such adjustments. If
Seller agrees with the proposed adjustments, the adjustments shall be made to the Closing Date
Statement. If there are proposed adjustments which are disputed by Seller, then the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve all disputed adjustments. If, after a period of forty five (45)
days following the date on which Purchaser gives written notice of any proposed adjustments, any
such adjustments still remain disputed, the parties will jointly engage a mutually acceptable
independent accounting firm (the “Independent
EXECUTION COPY
Accountant”) to resolve any remaining disputed adjustments in accordance with this Agreement,
and the decision of the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and
nonappealable. Any payment required hereunder shall be tendered within three (3) Business Days
after the earlier of the agreement of the parties on the amount thereof or a written notice of any
resolution of such amount has been given by the Independent Accountant to the parties hereunder.
Purchaser has the right, but not the obligation, to use the Escrow Amount to satisfy the obligation
of Seller with respect to the Purchase Price adjustment, if any. All fees and expenses of the
Independent Accountant incurred in connection with such resolution shall be split equally between
the parties.
1.05 Third Party Consents. To the extent that any of the Assets are not assignable
without the consent, waiver or approval of another Person, this Agreement shall not constitute an
assignment or an attempted assignment of such Asset if such assignment or attempted assignment
would constitute a breach thereof. Seller and Purchaser shall, for the account of Purchaser, use
their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents, waivers and approvals as
soon as practicable following the Closing Date and Purchaser shall cooperate with and assist Seller
to this end; provided, that Seller shall take no action to seek such consent, waiver or approval
without prior consultation with or approval by Purchaser. If any such consent, waiver or approval
shall not be obtained despite Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts to procure such consent,
waiver or approval, then Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in any reasonable arrangement
designed to provide Purchaser with the benefits intended to be assigned to Purchaser with respect
to the underlying Asset, including, without limitation, enforcement of any and all rights of Seller
against the other party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such other
party or otherwise. If and only if such reasonable arrangement can be made, and except as
otherwise provided herein, Purchaser agrees to accept the burdens and perform the obligations
underlying such Asset. Furthermore, if the other party’s consent is subsequently obtained,
Purchaser shall at such time agree to assume all liabilities and obligations thereunder, except for
Retained Liabilities. If and to the extent that such arrangement cannot be made, Purchaser shall
have no obligation with respect to any such Asset.
1.06 Allocation of Purchase Price. After the Closing, the parties agree to negotiate
in good faith and determine the allocation of the Purchase Price for the Assets. Each party hereto
agrees (i) that any such allocation shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 1060 of
the Code and the regulations thereunder, (ii) to complete jointly and to file separately Form 8594
with its Federal income tax return consistent with such allocation for the tax year in which the
Closing Date occurs, and (iii) that no party will take a position on any Tax return, before any
Governmental Authority charged with the collection of any such Tax or in any judicial proceeding,
that is in any manner inconsistent with the terms of any such allocation without the consent of the
other party.
1.07 Closing; Effective Time.
(a) The closing of the purchase and sale provided for herein (the “Closing”) shall take place
via facsimile and email simultaneously with the execution hereof. The date upon which the Closing
occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or
sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or
relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty on the part of Seller, Shareholder or

all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject,

8.02 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified
Party under Section 8.01 will be asserted and resolved as follows:
(a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek
indemnity under Section 8.01 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such
Indemnified Party by a Person other than a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party
(a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice with reasonable
promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice
with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim,
the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to
such Third Party Claim, but only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has
been irreparably prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will
notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the Dispute Period whether the
Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 8.02 and
whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified
Party against such Third Party Claim.
(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period
that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with
EXECUTION COPY
respect to the
Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.02(a), then the Indemnifying Party will
have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third
Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be reasonably, vigorously
and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled
at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified
Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of
monetary damages or that provides for the payment of monetary damages as to which the
Indemnified Party will not be indemnified in full). The Indemnifying Party will have full
control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof;
provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and
expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time subsequent to the delivery of a Claim Notice
to the Indemnified Party and prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice
referred to in the first sentence of this Section 8.02(a)(i), file any motion,
answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably
believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests; and provided
further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at
the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the
Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to
contest; and provided, further, that the Indemnified Party may choose
separate counsel at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party in the event that a
conflict of interest arises between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. The
Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any
Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section
8.02(a)(i), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party will
bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indemnified Party may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a
Third Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under
Section 8.01 with respect to such Third Party Claim.
(ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim
within the Dispute Period or fails to prosecute reasonably, vigorously and diligently or
settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at
the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all
appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a
reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified
Party (with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings,
including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if
requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and
expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party
and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is
contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a)(ii),
if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that
the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with
respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the
Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in clause (iii) below, the
EXECUTION COPY
Indemnifying Party will
not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant
to this Section 8.02(a)(ii) or of the Indemnifying Party’s
participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party
will reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may
participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified
Party pursuant to this Section 8.02(a)(ii), and the Indemnifying Party will bear its
own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.
(iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute
its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under
Section 8.01, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver a notice to the
Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period, then the Loss in the amount specified in the
Claim Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under
Section 8.01 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the
Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed its liability with
respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good
faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations
within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance
with Section 10.12 below.
(b) In the event any Indemnified Party has a claim under Section 8.02 against any
Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver
an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any
Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party’s rights hereunder
except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably
prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not
dispute the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver
a notice to the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period, then the Loss in the amount specified
in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under
Section 8.02 and the Indemnifying Party (as applicable) shall pay the amount of such Loss
to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability
with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good
faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within
the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section
10.12 below.
8.03 Escrow Amount. Subject to Section 8.04, the Escrow Amount shall be
available (i) during the one year period following the Closing to reimburse the Purchaser
Indemnified Parties for any Losses for which they are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to
Section 8.01(a), and (ii) following the first anniversary of the Closing, to reimburse the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Losses for which they are entitled to be indemnified pursuant
to Section 8.01(a) with respect to which a claim for indemnification was made by any
Purchaser Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article VIII and delivered in writing
to the Parent within such one year period, in which case a portion of the Escrow Amount sufficient
to satisfy such claim shall remain available until such time as such claim is resolved in
accordance with the terms of this Article VIII. On the first anniversary of the Closing
Date, the Escrow
EXECUTION COPY
Agent shall pay to Seller the then-remaining Escrow Amount, including any interest
earned the Escrow Amount, but less any amounts required to satisfy pending claims in accordance
with the preceding sentence.
8.04 Limitations.
(a) No claim may be made by any Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to Section
8.01(a)(i) or Section 8.02(b)(i), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate
amount of Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the
case may be, seek to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i) or Section
8.02(b)(i), as the case may be, exceeds $75,000, at which time such Indemnified Parties shall
be entitled to indemnification for all Losses in excess of $75,000 (the “Indemnity Threshold”);
provided, that, this subsection (a) shall not apply to Losses (i) for or arising out of fraud,
(ii) arising out of the breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.9,
2.12, 2.14, 2.15, the first sentence of 2.21 and 2.23; or (iii) arising under Sections
8.01(a)(v) or 8.01(a)(vi).
(b) Seller’s, Shareholder’s and Parent’s indemnification obligations under Section
8.01(a) shall be limited to an amount equal to $3,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, that, the Cap
shall not apply to Losses (i) for or arising out of fraud, (ii) arising out of the breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.9, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15, and 2.23; or
(iii) arising under Section 8.01(a)(v). Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under
Section 8.01(b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the Cap.
(c) Except in the event of fraud, the provisions of this Article VIII shall constitute
the exclusive remedy after the Closing for any and all Losses asserted against, resulting from,
imposed upon or incurred or suffered by the parties to this Agreement as a result of, or based upon
or arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that, nothing contained
herein shall prevent any party from seeking equitable remedies (including specific performance or
injunctive relief) in connection therewith.
(d) All claims by Indemnified Parties for Losses shall be made net of any insurance proceeds
actually recovered by the party claiming such indemnification; provided that, this subsection (d)
shall not be construed to require any party to obtain any insurance coverage or to use anything
other than commercially reasonable efforts to collect insurance proceeds under any existing
insurance coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Party will be required to pursue
a recovery from an insurer in the event that the Indemnified Party determines in its reasonable
judgment that the pursuit of proceeds under such coverage would likely result in such Indemnified
Party being unable to obtain or maintain similar insurance coverage at commercially reasonable
rates as a result of its seeking such proceeds.
(e) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII shall be (i)
limited to the amount of any Losses after deducting therefrom any income Tax benefit to the
Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof resulting from such Losses; and (ii) increased to take
account of any income Tax detriment incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from receipt or
accrual of indemnity payments. For purposes of this Section 8.04(e), an income Tax benefit
or income Tax detriment will be considered to be recognized by the Indemnified Party or any
EXECUTION COPY
affiliate in the Tax period in which an actual income Tax benefit or income Tax detriment occurs.
The amount of the income Tax benefit or income Tax detriment shall be determined by
using the actual federal and state income Tax rates applicable to the Indemnified Party and
its affiliates, on a with and without basis after any deductions, credits, allowances or other
income Tax attributes reportable with respect to a payment hereunder and taking into account the
effect, if any and to the extent then determinable, of timing differences resulting from the
acceleration or deferral of items of income, gain, deduction or loss resulting from such payment
and the underlying Losses. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with a
detailed schedule that sets forth the amounts and anticipated Tax years in which any income Tax
benefits or detriments are likely to be recognized (based on the current experience and reasonable
judgment of the Indemnified Party) and, based on current federal and state income Tax rates, the
resulting estimated income Tax benefits or detriments. The present value of the estimated income
Tax benefits and detriments then shall be determined by discounting each Tax year’s estimated
income Tax benefit or detriment using a discount rate equal to the current prime lending rate as
published in the Wall Street Journal three (3) Business Days prior to the payment. The indemnity
payment shall be increased or decreased so that the payment equals the present value of the net
after-Tax benefit or detriment to the Indemnified Party. If there is a dispute regarding the
income Tax benefit or detriment (including its discount to present value), Purchaser and Seller
shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If, after a period of thirty (30) days of
negotiations, such dispute remains unresolved, Purchaser and Seller will jointly engage an
Independent Accountant to resolve such dispute in accordance with this Agreement, and the decision
of the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and nonappealable.
All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant incurred in connection with such resolution
shall be split equally between Purchaser and Seller.
(f) All indemnification payments under this Article VIII will be considered
adjustments to the amount of the Purchase Price.

to by the
parties. Arbitration will be commenced by a party giving written notice to the other party in
accordance with Section 10.01 of this Agreement stating the grounds of the dispute, the relief
sought and that the dispute is being arbitrated under this Section 10.14. If the parties cannot
mutually select an arbitrator and agree to administration of the arbitration within 30 days after
written notice is given, then the arbitration will be administered by the AAA in Xxxxxx
County, Georgia, and the arbitrator will be selected by the staff of the corporate
headquarters of AAA located in New York, New York. No arbitrator selected by the AAA in accordance
with the preceding sentence may reside or conduct his or her principal business within the State of

hereto; provided, however, that any such award shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the
arbitrator giving the reasons for the award. This provision for arbitration shall be specifically
enforceable by the parties and the decision of the arbitrator in accordance herewith shall be final
and binding and there shall be no right of appeal therefrom. A judgment may be entered upon the
arbitration award by any state or federal court in the State of Georgia. Each party shall pay its
own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrator shall be equally shared; provided,
however, that the arbitrator may assess, as part of its award, all or any part of the arbitration
expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and of the arbitrator against
the party raising such unreasonable claim, defense, or objection. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Section 10.14 shall be construed as limiting in any way the right of a party hereto
to seek injunctive relief with respect to any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement from a
court of competent jurisdiction.

CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN ANY OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO RELATING TO THE SUBJECT
MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. The scope of this waiver

relate the subject matter of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby,
including contract claims, tort claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. This waiver
is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing, and this waiver
shall apply to any subsequent amendments, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement, any
of the transactions contemplated hereby or to any other document or agreement relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby.
10.16 Waiver of Punitive Damages. EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD, EACH PARTY, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS THAT IT MAY HAVE TO PUNITIVE DAMAGES

STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF ANY OF THEM RELATING THERETO.
