ARTICLE II
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS
2.1 Acquired and Excluded Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions
----------------------------
herein set forth, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey,
and deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created
after the Closing Date by or against Purchaser), and Purchaser shall purchase
and accept from Seller, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created
after the Closing Date by or against Purchaser), good, valid and marketable
title to and under the Acquired Assets, wherever located, whether real, personal
or mixed, tangible or intangible, as the same shall exist on the Closing Date.
All other assets and properties of Seller, including the assets and properties
listed on Schedule2.1 shall be referred to herein as the "Excluded Assets." The
----------- ---------------
Parties expressly agree and understand that Seller shall not sell, assign,
transfer, convey, or deliver to Purchaser any of the Excluded Assets.
2.2 Purchase Price. Subject to the adjustment provisions of Sections
--------------
2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.9, 2.11 and 2.12 in consideration for the transfer of the
Acquired Business, Purchaser shall pay to Seller consideration equal to
$13,000,000 (the "Purchase Price"), consisting of a cash payment at Closing and
--------------
the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the adjustment provisions
of Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.9, 2.11 and 2.12, at Closing, Purchaser shall pay
$10,000,000, less the Receivables Holdback, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to Seller, or as otherwise directed by Seller (the "Closing
-------
Payment").
-------
2.3 Accounts Receivable Adjustment.
------------------------------
(a) Preliminary Purchase Price Adjustment. Subject to Section
-------------------------------------
2.3(b), below:
(i) The Closing Payment and the Purchase Price shall be
increased, if and to the extent that the Preliminary Closing Date Qualified
Receivables Amount is greater than the Signing Date Qualified Receivables
Amount.
(ii) The Closing Payment and the Purchase Price shall be
reduced, if and to the extent that the Preliminary Closing Date Qualified
Receivables Amount is less than the Signing Date Qualified Receivables Amount.
(b) Post-Closing Confirmation.
-------------------------
(i) At the Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to holdback
from the Closing Payment an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the
Preliminary Closing Date Qualified Receivables Amount (such amount being
referred to as the "Receivables Holdback"). For the period beginning on the
--------------------
Closing Date and including and ending on the thirtieth (30th) day
2
following the Closing Date (the "Evaluation Period"), the Purchaser shall
-----------------
confirm the valid existence of and qualification of such Qualified Receivables
comprising such Preliminary Closing Date Qualified Receivables Amount. Before
the expiration of the Evaluation Period, if Purchaser has a reasonable good
faith belief that one or more of the Accounts Receivable reported on the updated
Section 5.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, delivered on the Closing Date, does
not qualify as a Qualified Receivable (the amount of such disputed Account
Receivable(s) being the "Disputed Amount"), then it shall notify Seller in
---------------
writing of such concerns, and include any written evidence reasonably affirming
Purchaser's claim ("AR Rejection Notice"). If Purchaser fails to deliver an AR
-------------------
Rejection Notice to Seller on or before the last day of the Evaluation Period,
Purchaser shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the entire
Receivables Holdback to Seller or as otherwise directed by Seller within five
days following the expiration of the Evaluation Period. In the event that the
Disputed Amount is less than the Receivables Holdback, Purchaser shall pay by
wire transfer of immediately available funds, the portion of the Receivables
Holdback that is in excess of the Disputed Amount to Seller, or as otherwise
directed by Seller, within five days following the expiration of the Evaluation
Period.
(ii) If the Purchaser delivers to Seller an AR Rejection
Notice in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(i) above, the Seller shall have thirty
(30) days following such delivery (such period being the "Response Period") to
---------------
respond to Purchaser in writing, indicating Seller's (A) acceptance of all or
some of the Disputed Amounts set forth in such AR Rejection Notice or (B)
rejection of all or some of the Disputed Amounts set forth in such AR Rejection
Notice (such notice being a "Response Notice"). If Seller delivers a Response
---------------
Notice to Purchaser on or before the last day of the Response Period, such
Response Notice shall be deemed to accept or reject, as applicable, the Disputed
Amounts set forth in such AR Rejection Notice as of the date such Response
Notice is delivered to Purchaser. If Seller fails to deliver a Response Notice
on or before the last day of the Response Period, Seller shall automatically be
deemed to have accepted all of the Disputed Amounts set forth in Purchaser's AR
Rejection Notice as of the last day of the Response Period. Purchaser shall be
entitled to retain such portion of the Disputed Amount as shall be accepted by
Seller from the Receivables Holdback.
(iii) With regard to any Disputed Amount or any portion
thereof that is rejected by Seller pursuant to a valid Response Notice,
Purchaser and Seller will negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve any
differences regarding the Disputed Amount. If full disbursement of the Disputed
Amount cannot be resolved within fifteen (15) days following delivery of the
Response Notice, the Purchaser and Seller shall select a mutually acceptable,
independent, nationally recognized public accounting firm to arbitrate such
differences. If Purchaser and Seller cannot agree on the choice of an
accounting firm, they will select by lot a nationally recognized independent
accounting firm, other than any independent accounting firm that has provided
audit or other material services to Parent, Purchaser or Seller after January 1,
2002. The accounting firm selected (the "Accountant") shall be jointly
----------
instructed by Purchaser and Seller to finally determine whether and to what
extent the Disputed Amount does or does not qualify as Qualified Receivables.
The Accountant shall deliver to each of Purchaser and Seller its determination
within thirty (30) days after receiving the joint instructions of Purchaser and
Seller, and the determination of the Accountant will be set forth in writing and
will be conclusive
3
and binding upon the Parties. The Disputed Amount shall be retained by
Purchaser, or paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds by Purchaser
to Seller, or as otherwise directed by Seller, as applicable, in accordance with
the written determination of the Accountant within five (5) days after receipt
of such written instructions. The fees and expenses payable to any such
Accountant shall be paid by the Party that does not receive, or in the case of
Purchaser, does not retain, a majority of the Disputed Amount.
(c) Payment for Certain Non-Qualified Receivables. In the event
---------------------------------------------
that any Accounts Receivables of the Seller that qualify as Qualified
Receivables on the date hereof, but do not qualify as Qualified Receivables as
of the Closing Date (either because such Accounts Receivable are (i) not set
forth on the updated Section 5.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter delivered on
the Closing Date, or (ii) Disputed Amounts which are retained by Purchaser in
accordance with Section 2.3(b)), are collected by Purchaser or its Affiliates
for a period of thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay
by wire transfer of immediately available funds such collected amounts (net of
any out-of-pocket collection costs) to Seller, or as otherwise directed by
Seller, within five (5) Business Days following the collection of such Accounts
Receivable.
(d) Apportionment of Certain Accounts Receivable. Without
--------------------------------------------
duplication, to the extent that the Qualified Receivables comprising the Signing
Date Qualified Receivables Amount include amounts attributable to deferred
revenues for maintenance or professional services not yet provided to a customer
(calculated in accordance with GAAP) (such services being the "Pre-Billed
----------
Services") as of December 31, 2002, and some or all of such Pre-Billed Services
--------
are paid by the customer to Seller prior to the Closing Date (such amount
collected being the "Collected Pre-Billed Amounts"), the Purchase Price and
----------------------------
Closing Payment shall be reduced by the pro-rata portion of the Collected
Pre-Billed Amounts attributable to Pre-Billed Services remaining outstanding as
of the Closing Date.
2.4 Contract and Asset Rejection and Assumption.
(a) Schedule 2.4 sets forth a list of executory contracts, license
------------
agreements, and unexpired leases (with maximum Cure Cost amounts) that Purchaser
wishes to assume and Seller wishes to assign to Purchaser at Closing
("Designated Contracts"). Seller shall be responsible for and bear any Cure
--------------------
Costs in connection with the assumption and assignment by Seller to Purchaser or
of the Designated Contracts.
(b) If after the date hereof, but prior to the Closing, any Party
becomes aware of any executory contract, license agreement, or unexpired lease
that does not appear on the list of Other Contracts as defined in Section
5.14(a) ("Undisclosed Contract"), the discovering Party shall, within two (2)
--------------------
Business Days, notify the other Parties of such Undisclosed Contract, and
Purchaser may elect, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing
(the "Undisclosed Contract Designation Date"), to have Seller assume and assign
-------------------------------------
to Purchaser such Undisclosed Contract and to include such Undisclosed Contract
as a Designated Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the
Bankruptcy Code, if any Undisclosed Contract is entered into after the date of
the Approval Order and such Undisclosed Contract contains language allowing
4
Seller to assign the contract to Purchaser, then such Undisclosed Contract may
be assigned without the entry of a Bankruptcy Court order. Purchaser shall have
until the Undisclosed Contract Designation Date (i) to designate which
pre-petition Undisclosed Contracts it wishes to have Seller assume and assign
and to whom, and (ii) to designate which post-petition Undisclosed Contracts it
wishes to have Seller assume and assign and to whom (to the extent such
assignment and assumption of post-petition Undisclosed Contracts is necessary or
appropriate under applicable Law). This procedure for assumption and assignment
shall be mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser
may elect, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, to have
Seller assume and assign to Purchaser any Excluded Asset listed on Schedule 2.1
or one or more Other Contracts listed on Section 5.14 of the Seller Disclosure
Letter (except for those Other Contracts or Excluded Assets identified thereon
as not being subject to this paragraph), including but not limited to tangible
personal property, or the Spear Street Lease, and any such Excluded Asset or
Other Contract shall thereupon constitute an Acquired Asset or Designated
Contract, as the case may be; provided that no such Excluded Asset expressly
designated in Schedule 2.1 as subject to an increase in the Purchase Price shall
be re-classified to constitute an Acquired Asset unless the Purchaser and Seller
reasonably agree on the fair resale value of such asset, as determined in the
context of the liquidation by Seller of its remaining assets, and a
corresponding increase in the Purchase Price equal to such value, it being
understood that no increase in the Purchase Price shall result from the
classification of an Other Contract as a Designated Contract; and provided
further that Purchaser, as a condition of classifying any such Excluded Asset or
Other Contract as Acquired Assets or Designated Contracts, shall agree to assume
the liabilities and Liens, if any, associated with such asset or Contract as
identified by Seller in writing, and such liabilities shall be added to Schedule
2.6 and become part of the Assumed Liabilities.
2.5 Amounts Due Under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; Cure
----------------------------------------------------------------
Costs. Purchaser shall be obligated to pay any amounts for services rendered by
------
a third party under the Designated Contracts from and after Closing which shall
be Assumed Liabilities. Any amounts for services rendered by a third party under
the Designated Contracts during the period until Closing shall be a retained
liability of Seller and shall be an Excluded Liability. Seller shall pay 100% of
the cure and reinstatement costs and expenses for services rendered before the
Closing Date (collectively, the "Cure Costs") of or relating to the assumption
----------
and assignment of the Designated Contracts. Such Cure Costs shall be paid by
Seller or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, on or before the Closing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to reduce the
Purchase Price on the Closing Date to the extent such Cure Costs are not paid by
Seller prior to the Closing Date which to the extent treated as a reduction in
Purchase Price shall become Assumed Liabilities.
2.6 Assumed and Excluded Liabilities. Subject to the terms and
--------------------------------
conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, Purchaser shall assume from Seller
and thereafter pay, perform, or discharge in accordance with their terms the
liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.6. The liabilities to be assumed pursuant to
------------
the preceding sentence shall be referred to herein as the "Assumed Liabilities"
-------------------
and all other liabilities of the Seller shall be referred to herein as the
"Excluded
--------
5
Liabilities". Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
-----------
contrary, Purchaser does not and shall not assume or agree to pay, satisfy,
discharge or perform, and shall not be deemed by virtue of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or any document delivered at the Closing pursuant to
this Agreement, or as a result of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, to have assumed, or to have agreed to pay,
satisfy, discharge or perform, any liability, obligation or indebtedness of
Seller, whether primary or secondary, direct or indirect, other than the Assumed
Liabilities. Seller shall retain and pay, satisfy or discharge and perform in
accordance with the terms thereof, all of the Excluded Liabilities.
2.7 Allocation of Adjusted Purchase Price. The Adjusted Purchase Price
--------------------------------------
shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities for tax
purposes in accordance with an allocation schedule to be mutually agreed between
Seller and Purchaser prior to Closing. The Purchaser and Seller, on behalf of
themselves and their respective Affiliates, hereby agree to timely file IRS Form
8594 based on the allocations set forth in such schedule.
2.8 Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, transfer or recording Taxes with
--------------
respect to real or personal property due as a result of the transactions
provided for herein shall be paid by Seller. The Parties will reasonably
co-operate to minimize such Taxes.
2.9 Prorations. Seller shall bear all personal property and ad valorem
----------
Tax liability with respect to the Acquired Assets if the Lien or assessment
arises with respect to periods prior to the Closing irrespective of the
reporting and payment dates of such Taxes. All other property Taxes, ad valorem
Taxes and similar recurring Taxes and fees on the Acquired Assets, and all lease
payments or similar recurring payments under agreements that are Designated
Contracts, shall be pro rated for the applicable period between Purchaser and
Seller, as applicable, as of 12:01 a.m. local time on the Closing Date. All
payments to be made by Purchaser or Seller in accordance with this Section2.9
shall be made, to the extent then determinable, at the Closing as an adjustment
to the Closing Payment and the Purchase Price, or to the extent not determinable
as of the Closing, promptly following the determination thereof, with such
payments paid to the appropriate Party when due. Seller and Purchaser shall
have the right of reasonable review and approval of the other's property Tax
Returns and assessments for which Seller or Purchaser bear any economic
responsibility. Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with respect to
any review, contest or challenge of any Tax Return or assessment. Seller and
Purchaser shall also undertake a reconciliation and allocation procedure using
the mechanism set out above for the reconciliation and allocation of payroll
expenses and costs.
2.10 Reconciliation and Allocations. Beginning on the Closing Date, all
------------------------------

information as Parent and Purchaser may reasonably request pertaining to the
Acquired Business. Parent and Purchaser shall be permitted to contact and have
discussions with all customers, prospects and suppliers of Seller and its
Subsidiaries, subject to Seller's right to accompany Parent and Purchaser during

Purchaser of any change in any of the information contained in the
representations or warranties made by Seller in Article V or the Seller
Disclosure Letter attached hereto and shall promptly furnish any information
that Parent or Purchaser may reasonably request in relation to such change,
provided that such notice shall not operate to cure any breach of the

7.9 Employment Matters.
------------------
(a) Parent or Purchaser, in conjunction with Seller, shall be
permitted to meet with and interview all employees of Seller and its
Subsidiaries during normal business hours upon reasonable notice. Purchaser
shall offer employment to such employees of Seller as designated by Purchaser,
not more than three (3) days after entry in the Bankruptcy Court of the Approval
Order, whom Purchaser desires to employ in connection with the purchase of the
Acquired Business, on terms provided by Purchaser; provided that (i) such offers
-------- ----
shall be made for positions located in the City of San Francisco, (ii) each such
offeree would be offered a similar position in a similar role as such offerees
enjoyed with Seller and (iii) the base salary compensation (this excludes
benefits, vacation, sick time, personal time, bonuses, commissions and any other
remuneration outside of base salary compensation) for each offeree shall be
substantially similar to his or her existing base salary compensation with the
Seller and provided further that each such offer shall be contingent on
-------- -------
completion of the Closing and on the offeree's compliance with the standard
hiring practices of Purchaser. A full list of employees whom Purchaser elects
to employ shall be submitted to Seller not more than three (3) days after entry
in the Bankruptcy Court of the Approval Order. Neither Parent nor Purchaser nor
shall any of them permit their respective subsidiaries to, prior to the last day
of the Auction, solicit or make offers of employment to any employees of Seller
other than (i) with the prior permission of Seller, or (ii) in accordance with a
general plan for the recruitment of employees agreed with Seller. Each such
employee who accepts such employment as of the Closing, shall be referred to
herein as a "Transferred Employee." Seller shall terminate all Transferred
--------------------
Employees as of the Closing Date and shall pay to such Transferred Employees all
unpaid compensation, as well as all accrued benefits (including, without
limitation, all sick pay and personal time pay other than accrued vacation pay,
earned through the Closing Date).
(b) As soon as is practical after the Closing, Seller shall (i)
take all actions as are necessary or appropriate to fully vest, as of the
Closing Date, the interests of the Transferred Employees under Seller's
retirement plan(s); (ii) provide such employees an election to rollover their
vested interests to Purchaser's defined contribution retirement plan (and
Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps necessary to facilitate such
roll-over); and (iii) rollover the full amount of the vested interests which the
employees have elected to rollover , as soon as possible but not later than
ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, to the accounts of such employees under
Purchaser's defined contribution retirement plan. Purchaser shall have no
liability for any discontinuance, termination or other charges that may be due
to any investment option or management providers or to any plan record keeping
or other agents with respect to such termination and rollover of such employees'
interests from Seller's retirement plan(s) to Purchaser's retirement plan.
(c) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall arrange for each
Transferred Employee (including without limitation all dependents) to be
eligible for substantially the same comprehensive medical benefits in the
aggregate (subject to Purchaser's standard employee contribution requirements)
as those received by newly hired employees of Parent or Purchaser, subject to
the provisions of this paragraph. In addition, each Transferred Employee shall
be eligible to participate in Parent's and Purchaser's commission, bonus, stock
option, performance
29
and other incentive compensation programs as other similarly situated employees
of Parent or Purchaser. In addition, each Transferred Employee shall be eligible
to participate in Parent's and Purchaser's Code Section 401(k) plans as newly
hired employees of Parent or Purchaser, and shall be permitted to roll-over plan
balances from Seller's Code Section 401(k) plans, shall not be given any credit
for years of service with Seller (and its subsidiaries and predecessors) prior
to the Closing Date. Each Transferred Employee shall, to the extent permitted by
law (including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996,
as amended), applicable tax qualification requirements, and the terms of the
applicable plan of Parent and Purchaser, and subject to any applicable break in
service or similar rule, receive credit for all purposes including, without
limitation, for eligibility to participate and vesting under Purchaser or Parent
employee benefit plans for years of service with Seller (and its subsidiaries
and predecessors) prior to the Closing Date, including vacation accrual but
expressly excluding Code Section 401(k) plans. If applicable, and to the extent
permitted by law (including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996, as amended), applicable tax qualification requirements, and the
terms of the applicable plan of Parent and Purchaser, Purchaser will use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause any and all pre-existing condition (or
actively at work or similar) limitations, eligibility waiting periods and
evidence of insurability requirements under any group health plans to be waived
with respect to such Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents and
will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide them with credit for any
co-payments, deductibles, and offsets (or similar payments) made during the plan
year including the Closing Date for the purposes of satisfying any applicable
deductible, out-of-pocket, or similar requirements under any Purchaser or Parent
employee benefit in which they are eligible to participate after the Closing
Date.
7.10 Additional Matters and Further Assurances.
-----------------------------------------
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of
the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate and
make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, transfer, convey and assign all
necessary waivers, consents, authorizations, permits, licenses and approvals
required under this Agreement.
(b) In addition to the provisions of this Agreement, from time to
time after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser will use commercially

transfer or assumption, as the case may be, and take such other actions as may
be reasonably requested to implement more effectively, the conveyance, transfer
and operation, as applicable, of the Acquired Assets and Acquired Business to or
by Purchaser (including the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities).
(c) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall
cooperate and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the other in

disruption to the operations and employees of the businesses of the Parties.

its own benefit (other than as contemplated by this Agreement) any trade secrets
or other confidential or proprietary information of another Party relating to
Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent, Purchaser and/or their respective

listing agreement with, or the policies of, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or any
other quotation system on which the Seller's securities are then listed or

will still be required to the extent practicable.

material adverse effect on any such Seller's relationship.

(provided that any such Party seeking termination under this Section 8.1(b)(i)
--------
is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement);

decree or ruling or taken any other action (which order, decree or ruling the

represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement
and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of
construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will
be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
9.9 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its
----------
rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval
of the other Parties; provided, however, that Parent or Purchaser can assign any
