2.05. Assignment of Contracts and Rights. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Assigned Contract which would be included in the Purchased Assets but for the failure to obtain the applicable Consent. Seller agrees that prior to and after the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but without any payment of money by Seller or Buyer) and shall cooperate with Buyer to obtain all Consents, including such Consents as are listed on Schedule 3.07. If any Consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Seller under any such Purchased Asset, contract, claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder so that Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Buyer would obtain the benefits and assume the post-Closing obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sub-licensing, or subleasing to Buyer, or under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of Buyer, with Buyer assuming Seller’s obligations, any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto.

(b) Definitions. The following terms, as used herein, have the following meanings:

“Closing Balance Sheet” means a balance sheet for the Business, prepared in a manner consistent with the audited financial statements referenced in Section 5.06 and in accordance with GAAP (except as otherwise stated therein and except for the omission of other financial statements and footnotes), excluding Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities, as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. The Closing Balance Sheet will present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Business as of such date, and will be prepared from the books and records of the Seller on a basis consistent with the method by which the Reference Statement was prepared. The Closing Balance Sheet will contain those line items set forth on Schedule 2.08(b).

“Closing Net Asset Value” means that dollar amount as is equal to the dollar amount of the Purchased Assets (and excluding Excluded Assets), as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet, less the dollar amount of the Assumed Liabilities (and excluding Excluded Liabilities), as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet.

“Reference Net Asset Value” means $0.

(c) Preparation of Closing Balance Sheet. As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, but not later than seventy-one (71) days after the Closing Date, Seller will provide to the Buyer the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Net Asset Value.

(d) Disagreement by Buyer. If Buyer disagrees with Seller’s calculation of Closing Net Asset Value, Buyer may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.08(c), deliver a notice to Seller disagreeing with such calculation, a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for such disagreement and setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Net Asset Value. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which Buyer disagrees and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Balance Sheet.

(e) Dispute Resolution. If a notice of disagreement shall have been delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.08(d), the Parties shall, during the thirty (30) days following said delivery, use their best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Closing Net Asset Value. If, during such period, the Parties are unable to reach agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Accounting Referee promptly to review this

Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Net Asset Value. In making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Balance Sheet as to which Buyer has disagreed. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Seller and Buyer, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto. The cost of such review and report shall be borne (i) by Buyer if Seller’s calculation of Closing Net Asset Value is closer to the final calculation of Closing Net Asset Value determined by the Accounting Referee than Buyer’s calculation thereof, (ii) by Seller if the reverse is true and (iii) otherwise equally by Buyer and Seller.

(f) Cooperation. The Parties hereto agree that they will, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Net Asset Value.

(g) Time of Payment. Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place (i) within thirty (30) days after delivery by Seller of the documents referred to in Section 2.08(c) if no notice of disagreement with respect to Closing Net Asset Value is delivered by Buyer within the thirty (30) day period described above in Section 2.08(d) or (ii) if a notice of disagreement with respect to Closing Net Asset Value is so delivered then within ten (10) days after the earlier of (A) agreement between the parties pursuant to Section 2.08(e) with respect to Closing Net Asset Value and (B) delivery of the calculation of Closing Net Asset Value by the Accounting Referee pursuant to Section 2.08(e).

(h) Method of Payment. Any payments pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be made by delivery by Seller, or Buyer, as the case may be, of a certified or official bank check payable in funds to Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, or by causing such payments to be credited to such account of Seller or Buyer as may be designated by Seller or Buyer. The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the rate publicly announced from time to time by Citibank N.A. as its base or prime rate in New York City in effect from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the date of payment. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days for which due.

2.09. British Telecom Adjustment.

(a) Determination of British Telecom Adjustment.

(i) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer will deliver to Seller a certificate (the “BT Certificate”) executed by the Buyer setting forth the First Year BT Contract Revenue.

(ii) If the Seller objects in good faith to any one or more matters set forth in the BT Certificate, Seller shall deliver written notice (the “Disputed Items Notice”) to the Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Seller of the BT Certificate, stating that the Seller objects to any items in the BT Certificate, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection and setting forth the Seller’s proposed modification to the BT Certificate. Thereafter,

the Buyer and Seller will attempt to resolve and finally determine and agree upon the First Year BT Contract Revenue as promptly as practicable.

(iii) If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to agree upon the First Year BT Contract Revenue within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Disputed Items Notice, they shall refer the matter to the Accounting Referee to resolve the items set forth in the Disputed Items Notice (the “Disputed Items”). The Accounting Referee will (i) resolve the Disputed Items and (ii) make a determination of the First Year BT Contract Revenue using the calculations set forth in the BT Certificate, as modified only by the Accounting Referee’s resolution of the Disputed Items. The determination of the Accounting Referee will be made within sixty (60) days after being selected and will be final and binding on the Parties. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee will be borne by the Party whose positions generally did not prevail in such determination, as determined by such Accounting Referee, or if the Accounting Referee determines that neither party could be fairly found to be the prevailing party, then such fees, costs and expenses will be borne 50% by the Buyer and 50% by the Seller.

(iv) If the Seller does not deliver the Disputed Item Notice to the Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Seller of the BT Certificate, the First Year BT Contract Revenue specified in the BT Certificate will be conclusively presumed to be true and correct in all respects and will be final and binding upon the parties.

(v) At such time as the First Year BT Contract Revenue is finally determined, the Seller shall pay the Buyer an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Target First Year BT Contract Revenue over the First Year BT Contract Revenue.

(b) Renewal of BT Contract. In the event that Seller has not finalized a renewal of the BT Contract on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts, consistent with Seller’s past practices, to negotiate and execute an amendment, modification, supplement, renewal, extension, restatement or replacement (a “BT Amendment”) of the BT Contract on terms that provide for the receipt of BT Revenues in the Measurement Period at least equal to the Target First Year BT Contract Revenue; provided, however, that in the event that Buyer uses such reasonable best efforts, and British Telecommunications plc or one or more of its Affiliates declines to execute a BT Amendment, Buyer shall be entitled to receive the amount provided in Section 2.09(a)(v) in accordance with the terms hereof; and provided, further, that in the event Buyer fails to use such reasonable best efforts, Seller shall have no obligation to make any payment to Buyer under Section 2.09(a)(v).

(c) Operation of Buyer under BT Contract. Following the Closing, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts, consistent with Seller’s past practices, to (a) maintain the BT Contract in full force and effect and (b) provide services under the BT Contract in a manner that (i) is consistent with the requirements of the BT Contract and (ii) is designed to maximize the receipt by Buyer of revenues under the BT Contract during the BT Measurement Period. Buyer shall not breach or fail to perform any of its material obligations under the BT Contract.

(d) Information. Buyer will furnish monthly and quarterly reports, within twenty (20) days after each month and three-month period during the Measurement Period, containing the calculation of BT Revenues for each such monthly and three-month period.

Buyer will also furnish other information relating to the Buyer’s relationship with British Telecom and Buyer’s operations under the BT Contract, as Seller may from time to time reasonably request.

(e) Inspection. Buyer will permit the Seller and its advisors, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, and in a manner not unduly disruptive to the operations of the Buyer, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Buyer, to examine its books, records and other materials relating thereto (and to make copies thereof and take extracts therefrom) and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with Buyer’s personnel, in each case only as the same pertains to the BT Contract.

(f) Breach. If Buyer breaches any of its material obligations under the BT Contract during the first year thereof, the Target First Year BT Contract Revenue shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount of recognizable revenue Buyer does not receive as a result of such breach.

(g) Exclusive Remedy. This Section 2.09 shall be the exclusive remedy of Buyer for monetary damages relating to any failure by Buyer or Seller to enter into a BT Amendment or any claim relating to a loss of revenue under the BT Contract or the failure of Buyer to realize revenue following the Closing under the BT Contract.

2.10. Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Schedule 2.10 sets forth the methodology for allocating the purchase price among the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (for purposes of this Section 2.10, the “Purchase Price”). The Parties shall mutually agree upon an allocation of the Purchase Price within thirty (30) days after Closing to reflect the agreed value of the Purchased Assets and the book value of the Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing Date (the “Allocation Statement”).

(b) Seller and Buyer agree to report the purchase of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the book value of the Assumed Liabilities in a manner entirely consistent with the Allocation Statement, and agree to act in accordance with such Allocation Statement in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all tax returns (including filing Form 8594 with its Federal income tax return for the taxable year that includes the date of the Closing) and in the course of any tax audit, tax review or tax litigation relating thereto.

(c) No later than (10) days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to this transaction, each Party shall deliver to the other Party a copy of its Form 8594.

2.11. Accounts Receivable. Seller shall promptly transfer and deliver to Buyer any cash or other property which it may receive on or after the Closing Date in respect of the Accounts Receivable, from customers of the Business, prior to applying any such cash or other property to accounts receivable of any division or business of Seller.

2.12. Transfer of IP Assets. Seller shall deliver the tangible, including electronic, embodiments of all elements of intellectual property rights, materials and Technology that are Seller Intellectual Property (such tangible, including electronic, embodiments collectively, the “Intellectual Property Assets”) through the transfer of facilities, personal property contained

therein, and Transferred Employees prior to or at Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any Intellectual Property Assets that, through inadvertence or for any other reason, are not delivered via the transfer of facilities, personal property contained therein, and Transferred Employees, Seller shall promptly deliver, at no charge, such assets following the Closing to those locations reasonably designated by Buyer. If Seller discovers Intellectual Property Assets that were required to be, but were not, delivered to Buyer prior to or at Closing, Seller shall promptly inform Buyer of any such error and promptly deliver, at no charge, all such Intellectual Property Assets to those locations reasonably designated by Buyer. If Buyer discovers that it did not receive any of the Intellectual Property Assets that were required to be delivered, Seller shall promptly deliver, at no charge, such Intellectual Property Assets to the locations reasonably designated by Buyer upon receiving written notice thereof from Buyer.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Except as disclosed by Seller to Buyer in the disclosure schedule attached hereto as Exhibit K (the “Disclosure Schedule”), (it being understood that the disclosures in any section of the Disclosure Schedule shall, to the extent reasonably apparent from the context, qualify all other sections in this Agreement), Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that each of the statements contained in this Article III is true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date.

Seller is duly qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the Business makes such qualification or licensing necessary except where a failure so to qualify or be licensed is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each of Buyer and Seller shall bear 50% of any transfer, documentary, sales, use or other Taxes assessed upon or with respect to the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer and any recording or filing fees with respect thereto, but excluding VAT which is addressed in Section 7.03.

7.03. Value Added Tax.

(a) Seller and Buyer are registered for VAT as at Closing and assume that the transaction envisaged under this Agreement constitutes a non-taxable business transfer (transfer of going concern) such that no VAT becomes due on that transfer. Seller and Buyer shall use all reasonable efforts to secure such treatment as regards the sale of the Business under this Agreement. Buyer will use and maintain the business for the same entrepreneurial activities as Seller.

(b) Seller undertakes to retain and preserve any VAT records and documentation relating to its period of ownership of the Business respectively in such a manner and for such period as may be required by applicable law and will allow Buyer, upon Buyer giving adequate notice, sufficient access and copies of such records and documents for Buyer’s taxation purposes.

(c) If it turns out that the tax authorities treat such transfer either entirely or partly as taxable for VAT purposes and impose VAT, Seller shall give written notice to Buyer thereof without undue delay. In such case, Seller shall procure that Buyer is furnished with a valid VAT invoice in accordance with the relevant VAT provisions. If so, the purchase price is increased by the relevant amount of VAT. The Seller shall pay such amounts to the relevant tax office. Any penalties and interest, other than the penalties or interest arising solely from the failure of Seller to account promptly for VAT to the relevant tax office after receiving the appropriate amount for the VAT payment by Buyer, shall be equally born by Buyer and Seller.

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

8.01. Employment Matters Relating to United States Employees.

(a) Termination. Subject to applicable laws, and no later than immediately prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate the employment of all of the employees engaged in the Business in the United States (collectively, the “US Terminated Employees”). Seller shall provide the US Terminated Employees with any wages, vacation pay, severance, and other compensation or benefits that are due and owing, including those that are due and owing under any applicable Employee Plans and Benefit Arrangements. Seller also shall maintain a welfare plan that will offer to provide continuation health benefits coverage to the US Terminated

Employees who are not hired by Buyer, as required by COBRA, Section 601 et seq. of ERISA, and Section 4908B of the Tax Code.

(b) US Transferred Employees. Immediately following the Closing, Buyer or one of Buyers’ Affiliates shall offer to employ certain of the US Terminated Employees as listed on Schedule 8.01(b), on an at will basis, meaning they can quit or be discharged at any time and for any reason. Except as otherwise required by law, any such offers to each such individual shall be at such salary and benefit levels that are in the aggregate at least reasonably equivalent to the salary and benefit levels applicable to employees of Buyer with similar responsibilities and tenure. The US Terminated Employees who are hired by Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall be referred to herein as the “US Transferred Employees.”

(c) Buyer Benefit Plans. Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall provide the US Transferred Employees with the opportunity to participate in all Buyer Benefit Arrangements and Plans. To the extent that the US Transferred Employees become participants in any Buyer Benefit Arrangement and Plan, such Buyer Benefit Arrangement and Plan shall take into account for all purposes, the service of such US Transferred Employees with Seller as if such service were with Buyer, to the same extent that such service was credited under a comparable benefit plan; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or to the extent the service is beyond (i) the number of years of service that a Buyer Benefit Arrangement and Plan will credit for employment with another employer or (ii) the number of years of service of the employee of Buyer with the greatest number of years of service at such time. In addition, Seller shall, at Buyer’s request, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or secure any claims or other data Buyer or its Affiliates reasonably need to establish or administer the Buyer Benefit Arrangements and Plans.

(d) Rollovers. Subject to applicable laws and the terms of the Buyer Benefit Arrangements and Plans and Seller’s Benefit Arrangements and Employee Plans, US Transferred Employees shall be entitled to rollover or transfer their account balances in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Seller to a tax-qualified defined contribution Buyer Benefit Arrangement and Plan; provided, however, that such transfer or rollover shall be in cash or cash and the promissory note evidencing the US Transferred Employees obligation under an outstanding participant loan.

(e) The Buyer’s workers’ compensation program shall be responsible for all claims for benefits for the US Transferred Employees with respect to claims where the date of injury occurs after the Closing Date, and in the case of an occupational disease, the US Transferred Employee was exposed to the occupational hazard after the Closing Date for a period at least equal to the minimum period needed to impose liability for the occupational disease on a new employer.

(f) Each US Transferred Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in each Buyer Benefit Arrangement and Plan (to the extent that coverage replaces coverage under a comparable welfare benefit plan of Seller, in which such US Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing). For purposes of each Buyer Benefit Arrangement and Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision

benefits to any US Transferred Employee, the Buyer shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such plans to be waived for such US Transferred Employees and their covered dependents (other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such US Transferred Employees and dependents and that have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date).

(g) Any subsequent termination by Buyer of the employment of any US Transferred Employee shall be subject to Buyer’s then existing severance policies as applied to Buyer’s other employees of equivalent seniority.

8.02. Employment Matters Relating to EU Employees.

(a) Buyer and Seller agree that the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will constitute a relevant transfer for the purposes of the Directive and that such transfer will take place in its entirety on the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer and Seller agree, that, as a consequence of the Directive, Buyer shall, on the Closing Date, by operation of law enter into the rights and obligations arising from the employment relationships of the EU Employees, to the extent such EU Employees do not validly object to such transfer of their employment relationship under applicable law. Schedule 8.02(b) sets forth a list of EU Employees. All EU Employees who do not make such an objection are referred to herein as the “EU Transferred Employees.”

(i) make any change to or agree to make any change to the terms and conditions of the EU Employees;

(iii) terminate or take any steps to terminate (constructively or otherwise) the employment of any of the EU Employees, except for cause;

(iv) offer employment in the Business or assign to the Business any person who is not an EU Employee;

(v) do anything which may result in the Directive not operating in relation to any of the EU Employees including, for the avoidance of doubt, offering alternative employment or redeployment to or offering to reassign any of the EU Employees outside the Business.

(d) Seller agrees to notify Buyer within twenty-four (24) hours if any of the EU Employees gives notice to terminate or terminates his or her contract of employment.

(e) Seller shall, within the restrictions imposed by applicable law:

(i) procure that in the period up to and including the Closing Date Buyer and its advisors shall be given promptly on request reasonable access to the EU Employees and the Representatives at reasonable times;

(ii) give Buyer and its advisors reasonable notice of and the opportunity to attend any consultation meeting with the EU Employees and or the Representatives held pursuant to the Directive; and

(f) As soon as practicable subsequent to the signing of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in notifying the EU Employees in text format and according to the Directive of the planned transfer of their employment to Buyer. If any claim is raised by an EU Employee based on the notification being incorrect, the party responsible for providing the incorrect information shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against all payments, costs and liabilities arising from such claim.

(g) Buyer and Seller agree to fully and timely cooperate in transitioning the employments of the EU Employees subject always to compliance with applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall provide Buyer, as soon as possible after signing of this Agreement and in observation of applicable data protection laws, all data of the EU Employees being necessary for the proper and uninterrupted continuation and administration of their employment subsequent to the Closing Date.

(h) If following the Closing Date the employment of any employee who is not an EU Employee is found to have transferred to Buyer as a result of the Directive (“Unidentified Employee”), Seller shall indemnify Buyer against each and every liability claim demand expense or cost (including without limitation legal costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in settling, contesting or dealing with any such claim or demand) that Buyer may suffer, incur, sustain, or pay arising from the termination or variation of the contract of employment of any such Unidentified Employee, provided, however, that:

(i) Seller shall not be liable to indemnify Buyer for the cost of labor if and to the extent that Unidentified Employees are performing work for Buyer;

(ii) Seller shall choose the legal counsel to conduct any labor litigation with Unidentified Employees and such litigation shall be conducted at Seller’s direction;

(iii) Buyer shall not offer or pay any severance to Unidentified Employees without prior written approval by Seller.

(i) Seller shall indemnify Buyer against all losses which may be suffered or incurred by Buyer in connection with the EU Employees which relates to or arises out of any act or omission by Seller or obligation or liability of Seller or any other event or circumstance on or prior to the Closing Date.

(j) Buyer shall indemnify Seller against all losses which may be suffered or incurred by Seller in connection with the EU Employees which relates to or arises out of any act or omission by Buyer or obligation or liability of Buyer or any other event or circumstance after the Closing Date.

8.03. Pensions.

If and to the extent required by the applicable law or the Directive, all company pension entitlements of the EU Employees will transfer to Buyer by operation of law and will be continued by Buyer according to the applicable legal requirements.

8.04. No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Article shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of Seller or of any of its subsidiaries in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) with either Buyer or the Business or any of their Affiliates and no provision of this Article VIII shall create any such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement or any plan or arrangement that may be established by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume or continue to control the defense if the Indemnifying Party fails to defend the proceeding in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a proceeding, no compromise or settlement of any such claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
