Securities Recipient) acknowledges that the Applicable Securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
or under any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless

Recipient, represents and warrants that all information regarding such
Discharging Creditor's financial condition and such Discharging Creditor's
knowledge and experience in investment and business matters provided to Buyer
by such Discharging Creditor on the Investor Questionnaire completed and
executed by such Discharging Creditor, is true, correct and complete in all

Discharging Creditor has received and had an opportunity to carefully review a
copy of the Convergion Purchase Agreement and the schedules and exhibits

that the Form 8-K dated April 3, 2003 (as amended) filed by Buyer with the SEC
does not include financial statements of Convergion as an acquired business as
required by the terms of Form 8-K, since preparation of those financial
statements has not yet been completed. Such Discharging Creditor (if a
Securities Recipient) has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers from, officers of Buyer concerning Buyer, its subsidiaries (including,
without limitation Convergion), its business (including, without limitation,
that portion of its business conducted through Convergion) and the Applicable
Securities and to obtain any additional information which such Discharging
Creditor reasonably requested. Such Discharging Creditor (if a Securities

Discharging Creditor in this Article III for purposes of establishing and
relying upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act for the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Consideration
Warrants.

is a Professional Services Creditor, such Professional Services Creditor
represents and warrants that the Professional Services Obligation owed to such
Professional Services Creditor, which is being paid in full pursuant to this

use in contesting any third party claim and shall cooperate fully with the
Indemnitor in the defense of all such claims. If the Indemnitor does not defend
any such third party claim or if the Indemnitor does not provide the Indemnitee
with prompt and reasonable assurances that the Indemnitor will satisfy the
third party claim, the Indemnitee may, at its option, elect to defend any such
third party claim, at the Indemnitor's expense. An Indemnitor may not settle or
compromise any claim without obtaining a full and unconditional release of the
Indemnitee, unless the Indemnitee consents in writing to such settlement or
compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a reasonable probability
that a third party claim for which Buyer has indemnification rights against any
Discharging Creditor hereunder will materially and adversely affect Buyer other
than as a result of money damages or other payments, Buyer shall be entitled to
conduct the defense of such claim at the expense of such Discharging Creditor.
6.6 Limits on Indemnification.
(a) Following the Closing, the aggregate indemnification
obligation of each Securities Recipient under Sections 6.2 and 6.3 shall be
limited to the greater of (i) the aggregate value, as of the Closing Date, of
the Consideration Shares and Consideration Warrants received by such
Discharging Creditor pursuant to Section 1.2 above; or (ii) the aggregate value
of such Consideration Shares and Consideration Warrants as of the date the
first claim for indemnification is made by Buyer against such Discharging
Creditor (the "Indemnity Value"). For purposes of this Article VI, (A) the
value of each Consideration Share shall be equal to the average closing price
of a share of Buyer Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (or as
reported on such exchange or quotation system on which shares of Buyer Common
Stock are then traded) over the five trading days immediately preceding the
date of determination (provided that, if shares of Buyer Common Stock are not
then quoted or reported on any such exchange or quotation system, then such
value shall be determined by the arbitrator appointed pursuant to Section 9.11
below), and (B) the value of each Consideration Warrant shall be equal to the
amount by which the value of the shares of Buyer Common Stock underlying such
Consideration Warrant (at the price determined under clause (A) above) exceeds
the exercise price that would be payable if such Consideration Warrant were
exercised on the date of determination. Following the Closing, the aggregate
indemnification obligation of each Cash Recipient under Sections 6.2 and 6.3
shall be limited to the amount received by such Cash Recipient pursuant to
Section 1.2(c) above. The aggregate indemnification obligation of Buyer under
Section 6.4 shall be limited to an amount equal to $500,000, minus the
aggregate amount Buyer has previously paid in satisfaction of its
indemnification obligations contained in the Purchase Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set
forth in this Section 6.6 shall not apply to fraudulent misrepresentations or
intentional misconduct.
(c) In the event any payment of the indemnity
obligations of the Securities Recipients set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 is
required to be made, the Securities Recipients may satisfy such indemnity
obligation by the delivery to Buyer of shares of Buyer Common Stock acquired by
them pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to the Consideration Warrants,
which
11
shares, for such purpose, shall be valued at the Indemnity Value thereof. Such
delivery shall be accomplished, if at all, by delivery of original stock
certificates and appropriate stock transfer powers executed in blank with
Medallion signature guarantees, and otherwise in a form acceptable to Buyer's
then current transfer agent. The number of shares of Buyer Common Stock any
Securities Recipient may use to satisfy such indemnity obligations shall not
exceed the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock acquired by such Securities
Recipient pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to the Consideration Warrants,
minus the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock sold by such Securities
Recipient following the date of this Agreement. In addition, the Securities
Recipient may satisfy such indemnity obligation by surrendering to Buyer
Consideration Warrants for cancellation with respect to all or a portion of the
shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable thereunder. Upon such cancellation, the
Securities Recipients shall be entitled to a credit against such indemnity
obligation in an amount equal to the Indemnity Value of the shares with respect
to which such Consideration Warrants are cancelled, less the aggregate exercise
price that would be payable with respect to such shares if such Consideration
Warrants were exercised with respect with respect to such shares on the date as
of the date used to determine the Indemnity Value. It is understood and agreed
that, if any Securities Recipient surrenders to Buyer for cancellation in
accordance with this subsection (c) all of the Consideration Shares and all of
the Consideration Warrants received by such Securities Recipient pursuant to
this Agreement, such Securities Recipient shall have no further liability
pursuant to this Article VI.
ARTICLE VII
Covenants Against Competition
7.1 Restrictive Covenants. To induce Buyer to enter into this
Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, each Discharging
Creditor covenants and agrees with Buyer that, if the transactions contemplated
hereby are closed, each will not for a period of three (3) years following the
Closing Date:
(a) Within the Territory (as hereinafter defined),
engage in any Competitive Activity (as hereinafter defined); or
(b) Directly or indirectly solicit the employment of, or
encourage to leave the employment of Buyer or any of its affiliates, any
employee of Buyer or any of its affiliates who was an employee of Seller
immediately prior to the Closing.
7.2 Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. To induce Buyer to
enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,
each Discharging Creditor covenants and agrees with Buyer that, if the
transactions contemplated herein are closed, such Discharging Creditor will not
disclose or use or otherwise exploit for his, her or its own benefit or for the
benefit of any other person or entity any Confidential Information (as
hereinafter defined). The covenant contained in this Section 7.2 shall survive
for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date; provided, however,
that with respect to those items of Confidential Information which constitute
trade secrets under applicable law, the obligations of confidentiality and
nondisclosure as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall continue to survive after
said five (5) year period to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.
These rights of Buyer are in addition to those rights Buyer has under the
common law or applicable statutes for the protection of trade secrets.
12
7.3 Remedies. The Discharging Creditors acknowledge that
irreparable loss and injury would result to Buyer upon any breach of any of the
covenants contained in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 and that damages arising out
of such breach would be difficult to ascertain. The Discharging Creditors agree
that, in addition to all the remedies provided at law or at equity, Buyer may
petition and obtain, without bond, from a court of law or equity both temporary
and permanent injunctive relief to prevent a breach by any of the Discharging
Creditors of any such covenant.
7.4 Blue-Penciling. If any court determines that any one or more
of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 7.1 or 7.2, or any part
thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the
territory or activities covered thereby, such court shall have the power to
reduce the duration or the territory or prohibited activities of such
provision, and, in its reduced form, such provisions shall then be enforceable
and shall be enforced.
7.5 Definitions. For purposes of this Article VII the following
terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(a) The term "Confidential Information" shall mean and
include all information, data and know-how of Seller which is purchased and
transferred to Buyer pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement or relates
to the Business (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) including without
limitation, administrative procedures, sales or marketing programs or
techniques, payment plans, existing or new products of the business purchased
by Buyer from Seller under the Purchase Agreement, unpublished list of current
or prospective customers, information relating to the solicitation of customers
for the Business purchased by Buyer, pricing, quotations, manufacturing
techniques, software (source or object code), diagrams, mask works, or know-how
and any other information (whether or not constituting a trade secret) not
generally known by businesses competitive with the Business which has value to
Buyer in its operation of the Business. Confidential Information shall not
include any data or information that has been voluntarily disclosed to the
public by Buyer (except where such public disclosure has been made without
authorization), or that has been independently developed and disclosed by
others, or that otherwise enters the public domain by means other than by
breach of this Agreement by the Discharging Creditors or their respective
affiliates or by breach of the Purchase Agreement by Seller.
(b) The term "Competitive Activity" shall mean and
include any activity in which a Senior Debt Holder directly or indirectly owns,
manages, operates, controls, is employed by (either as an employee or an
independent contractor) or participates in the ownership, management, operation
or control, of any business (other than the business of Buyer or its successors
or assigns) that is competitive with the Business as conducted by Seller at any
time during two-year period ending on the Closing Date.
(c) The term "Territory" shall mean and include all
geographic areas located in the following states: Texas, California, Georgia,
North Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida.
ARTICLE VIII
Termination
8.1 Termination. This Agreement will terminate automatically upon
any termination of the Purchase Agreement, unless earlier terminated by written
agreement of the parties hereto.
13
8.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 8.1 above, then except as otherwise provided herein, all
further obligations of the parties under or pursuant to this Agreement shall
immediately terminate without further liability of any party to the others;
provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 8.2 shall relieve the
liability or obligations hereunder of any party (the "Defaulting Party") to the
other party or parties (each, a "Non-Defaulting Party") on account of a breach
by the Defaulting Party of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty
of the Defaulting Party contained herein; and (ii) the provisions of Section
9.1 (relating to publicity) and Section 9.4 (relating to expenses) shall
survive any such termination.
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous
9.1 Publicity. Except as otherwise required by law (including
compliance with applicable bulk transfer laws), no Discharging Creditor shall
issue any press release or make any other public statement prior to Closing, in
each case relating to, or in connection with, or arising out of this Agreement,
the Purchase Agreement, or the matters contained herein or therein, without
obtaining the prior written approval of Buyer as to the contents and manner of
presentation and publication thereof. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, each of the Discharging Creditors may, at any time
after the execution and delivery hereof or the public announcement of the
transactions contemplated hereby, disclose to any and all persons without
limitation of any kind the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions
contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other
tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment
or tax structure; provided, however, that any such information relating to the
tax treatment or tax structure shall be kept confidential to the extent
necessary to comply with any and all federal or state securities laws that may
be applicable to Buyer. For this purpose, "tax structure" is limited to any
facts relevant to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transactions
contemplated hereby and does not include information relating to the identity
of the parties.
9.2 Knowledge. Where any representation or warranty contained in
this Agreement is expressly qualified by reference to the knowledge,
information and belief of an individual, such individual confirms that he or
she has made due and diligent inquiry as to the matters that are the subject of
such representations and warranties. As used in this Agreement, the terms
"knowledge", "information" and "belief", with respect to an entity or
organization, means the actual knowledge, information or belief, as the case
may be, after due inquiry of each of its officers, directors, managers,
shareholders, partners and members.
9.3 Defined Terms; Gender. Capitalized terms used herein, unless
otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings given to such
terms in the Purchase Agreement. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer
to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of
the person or persons may require.
9.4 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
Buyer and the Discharging Creditors shall pay their own respective expenses,
including the fees and disbursements of their respective counsel in connection
with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all schedules and
exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof, and may not
14
be modified, amended or terminated (other than pursuant to Section 8.1 above)
except by a written instrument specifically referring to this Agreement signed
by the party to be so bound by such modification, amendment or termination.
9.6 Waivers and Consents. All waivers and consents given
hereunder shall be in writing. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach or
anticipated breach of any provision hereof by any other party shall be deemed a
waiver of any other contemporaneous, preceding or succeeding breach or
anticipated breach, whether or not similar, on the part of the same or any
other party.
9.7 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications
hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if

the parties hereto, and all undertakings herein, are solely and exclusively for
the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, and no
other person or entity shall have standing to require satisfaction of
15
such conditions or to enforce such undertakings in accordance with their terms,
or be entitled to assume that any party hereto will refuse to consummate the
purchase and sale contemplated hereby in the absence of strict compliance with
any or all thereof, and no other person or entity shall, under any
circumstances, be deemed a beneficiary of such conditions or undertakings, any
or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part, by mutual consent of
the parties hereto at any time, if in their sole discretion they deem it
desirable to do so.
9.9 Headings. The Article and Section headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
9.10 Governing Law. Except as expressly provided below, the
interpretation and construction of this Agreement, and all matters relating
hereto, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Georgia;
provided, however, that the parties acknowledge that O.C.G.A. ss. 11-6-101, et
seq., shall not apply with respect to any of the Purchased Assets not located
in the State of Georgia on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
interpretation and construction of the non-competition and confidentiality
covenants of the Discharging Creditors set forth in Article VII above shall be
governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas.
9.11 Arbitration.
(a) Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration to be held at the office of
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Atlanta, Georgia, U. S. A. The
arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the United States Arbitration
Act (9 U.S.C. ss. 1 et seq.) and the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules then in
effect; provided, however, that the parties agree that any arbitration shall be
conducted under AAA's expedited procedures then in effect, regardless of the
amount in controversy. Each party may be represented by counsel in such
arbitration proceeding. AAA shall select one (1) neutral arbitrator to conduct
such arbitration proceeding. The parties agree to request the arbitrator to
render a written decision within three (3) months of the request for
arbitration or within two (2) months after appointment of the arbitrator,
whichever is earlier. To the extent permitted under applicable law, such award
shall be final and binding upon both parties. Any costs, fees or expenses
incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. Judgment upon an award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial
acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the law of such
jurisdiction may require or allow. The costs and expenses of the arbitration
proceedings, including attorney's fees, shall be borne by the losing party to
the arbitration or, at the discretion of the arbitrator, may be allocated among
the parties to properly reflect any partial prevailing or losing of the parties
to the arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator.
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above to the
contrary, any party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief against
the other party in any court of proper jurisdiction, pending the outcome of any
arbitration proceeding.
9.12 Parties in Interest. Buyer may transfer and assign this
Agreement and its rights hereunder without the consent of any Discharging
Creditor. Except as expressly stated above, this Agreement may not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by any party hereto, other than
by operation of law or with the written consent of the other parties hereto.
This Agreement shall be
16
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, any of which may be executed and delivered by facsimile, all of
which taken together shall constitute one instrument.
9.14 Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence with
respect to the performance of any obligation or duty hereunder.
9.15 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall
be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof will not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.
