Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Article X.

In consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows.

ARTICLE I

THE ASSET PURCHASE

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Assets.

(a) Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer shall purchase from the Seller, and the Seller shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Buyer, at the Closing, for the consideration specified below in this Article I, all right, title and interest in, to and under the Acquired Assets.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(a), the Acquired Assets shall not include the Excluded Assets.

1.2 Assumption of Liabilities.

(a) Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer shall assume and become responsible for, from and after the Closing, the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 1.2(a) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer shall not assume or become responsible for, and the Seller shall remain liable for, the Retained Liabilities.

1.3 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price to be paid by the Buyer for the Acquired Assets at the Closing shall be $17,000,000 (the “Cash Purchase Price”) and the Warrant.

1.4 The Closing.

(a) The Closing shall take place at the offices of WilmerHale in Boston, Massachusetts commencing at 10:00 a.m. local time on the Closing Date or at such other place and time as the Parties may mutually agree. All transactions at the Closing shall be deemed to take place simultaneously, and no transaction shall be deemed to have been completed and no

documents or certificates shall be deemed to have been delivered until all other transactions are completed and all other documents and certificates are delivered.

(b) At the Closing:

(i) the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 5.1;

(ii) the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 5.2;

(iii) the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Buyer a xxxx of sale in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, one or more trademark assignments in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and such other instruments of conveyance as the Buyer may reasonably request in order to effect the sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment to the Buyer of valid ownership of the Acquired Assets;

(iv) the Buyer shall execute and deliver to the Seller an instrument of assumption in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and such other instruments as the Seller may reasonably request in order to effect the assumption by the Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities;

(v) the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the Warrant;

(vi) the Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver to each other the Transition Services Agreement, the Non-Exclusive License Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Services Agreement and the Sublease Agreement;

(vii) the Buyer shall pay to the Seller, payable by wire transfer or other delivery of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller, the Cash Purchase Price;

(viii) the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer, or otherwise put the Buyer in possession and control of, all of the Acquired Assets of a tangible nature; and

(ix) the Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver to each other a cross-receipt evidencing the transactions referred to above.

1.5 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at the request of the Buyer and without further consideration, the Seller shall execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment and take such actions as the Buyer may reasonably request to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to the Buyer, and to confirm the Buyer’s rights to, title in and ownership of, the Acquired Assets and to place the Buyer in actual possession and operating control thereof.

1.6 Withholding. The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct, withhold, and pay over to the applicable Governmental Entity from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any recipient of a payment hereunder such minimum amounts as it is required to

deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Buyer and the Buyer covenants to have such withholding paid to the applicable Governmental Entity when such amount is due.

1.7 Purchase Price Allocation. No later than 120 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller for its review, comment and consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) a statement setting forth the allocation of the sum of the Purchase Price, plus any related assumed liabilities, plus any other amounts as required by applicable Tax law among the assets of the Business, which allocation shall be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and any applicable U.S. Treasury regulations (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). The Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation of any disagreement or reasonable objections the Seller may have with the Purchase Price Allocation, in which case the Buyer and the Seller shall use their good faith efforts to reach agreement thereon. In the event the Buyer and the Seller fail to so agree within thirty (30) days after the Seller’s notice of disagreement has been delivered, then the Buyer and the Seller shall promptly engage an accounting firm of national reputation to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of the engagement. The Purchase Price Allocation finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.7 shall be used by the Seller and the Buyer for all purposes, including preparation and filing of IRS Form 8594, and no party hereto shall take or assert any position inconsistent therewith.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER

The Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer that, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, the statements contained in this Article II are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and will be true and correct as of the Closing as though made as of the Closing, except to the extent such representations and warranties are specifically made as of a particular date (in which case such representations and warranties will be true and correct as of such date). The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Article II. The disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections and subsections in this Article II only to the extent it is reasonably apparent from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections.

2.3 Noncontravention. Except as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Transition Services Agreement, the Non-Exclusive License Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Services Agreement or the Sublease Agreement nor the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the Articles of Association or by-laws of the Seller, (b) require on the part of the Seller any notice to or filing with, or any permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity, except for any filing, permit, authorization, consent or approval which if not obtained or made would not reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect; (c) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, result in the acceleration of obligations under, create in any party the right to terminate, modify or cancel, or require any notice, consent or waiver under, any contract or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound or to which any of its assets is subject, except for (i) any conflict, breach, default, acceleration, termination, modification or cancellation which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect and would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any notice, consent or waiver the absence of which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect and would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (d) result in the imposition of any Security Interest upon any assets of the Business or (e) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller or any of its respective properties or assets, except for any violation that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect.

As relates to Seller Registrations, the Seller has complied with any applicable duty of candor and disclosure to the United States Patent and Trademark Office and any relevant foreign patent office with respect to all patent and trademark applications filed by or on behalf of the Seller and has made no material misrepresentation in such applications. The Seller has no knowledge of any information that would preclude the Seller from having clear title to the Seller Registrations or affecting the enforceability of any Seller Registrations.

(c) Ownership; Sufficiency. Except to the extent forming part of Excluded Assets and the items set forth in Section 2.11(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, each item of Seller Intellectual Property will be owned or, subject to the consent requirements in the applicable agreements with the vendors listed in Section 2.11(c)(1) of the Disclosure Schedule, available for use by the Buyer immediately following the Closing on substantially identical terms and conditions as it was immediately prior to the Closing, and such Seller Intellectual Property is

sufficient for the conduct of the Business as presently conducted and as described in Schedule 10A in all material respects. The Seller is the sole and exclusive owner of all Seller Owned Intellectual Property, free and clear of any Security Interests and, all joint owners of the Seller Owned Intellectual Property, if any, are listed in Section 2.11(c) of the Disclosure Schedule. Except to the extent forming part of Excluded Assets and the items set forth in Section 2.11(c), the Seller Intellectual Property constitutes all Intellectual Property necessary (i) to Exploit the Customer Offerings in the manner so done by the Seller prior to the Closing Date, (ii) to Exploit the Internal Systems in the manner so done by the Seller prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) otherwise to conduct the Seller’s business in all material respects in the manner currently conducted by the Seller.

(d) Protection Measures. The Seller has taken reasonable measures to protect the proprietary nature of each item of Seller Owned Intellectual Property, and to maintain in confidence all trade secrets and confidential information comprising a part thereof. To the knowledge of the Seller, the Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable contractual and legal requirements pertaining to information privacy and security with respect to information processed or used by the Business. No complaint relating to an improper use or disclosure of, or a breach in the security of, any such information has been made or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller. To the knowledge of the Seller, there has been no: (i) unauthorized disclosure of any third party proprietary or confidential information processed or used in the Business that is or was in the possession, custody or control of the Seller or (ii) breach of the Seller’s security procedures wherein confidential information processed or used in the Business has been disclosed to a third person, except for such disclosure or breach that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect. The Seller has actively policed the quality of all goods and services sold, distributed or marketed under each of the Business Trademarks and has enforced adequate quality control measures to ensure that no Business Trademarks that it has licensed to others, if any, shall be deemed to be abandoned.

(e) Infringement by Seller. None of the Customer Offerings, or the Exploitation thereof by the Seller or by any reseller, distributor, customer or user thereof, or any other activity of the Seller, to the knowledge of the Seller after reasonable diligence, infringes or violates, or constitutes a misappropriation of, the Intellectual Property rights described in Section 2.11(e) of the Disclosure Schedule or, to the knowledge of Seller, infringes or violates, or constitutes a misappropriation of the Intellectual Property rights of any other third party. None of the Internal Systems, or the Seller’s past or current Exploitation thereof, or any other activity undertaken by them in connection with the Business, to the knowledge of the Seller after reasonable diligence, infringes or violates, or constitutes a misappropriation of, the Intellectual Property rights described in Section 2.11(e) of the Disclosure Schedule or, to the knowledge of Seller, infringes or violates, or constitutes a misappropriation of the Intellectual Property rights of any other third party. Section 2.11(e) of the Disclosure Schedule lists any complaint, claim or notice, or threat of any of the foregoing (including any notification that a license under any patent is or may be required), received by the Seller alleging any such infringement, violation or misappropriation and any request or demand for indemnification or defense received by the Seller from any reseller, distributor, customer, user or any other third party; and the Seller has provided to the Buyer copies of all such complaints, claims, notices, requests, demands or threats, as well as any legal opinions, studies, market surveys and analyses, if any, relating to any

alleged or potential infringement, violation or misappropriation. For the purposes of this Section 2.11(e) only, the phrase “to the knowledge of the Seller” shall be deemed to refer to the actual knowledge of (i) the in-house attorney of the Seller who has principal responsibility for the legal affairs of the Business and (ii) other employees of the Seller with management or operational responsibility for the Business at a level of Senior Vice President or above, as well as any other knowledge which such persons would have possessed had such person made reasonable inquiry of appropriate employees and agents of the Seller with respect to any claim(s) of infringement, violation or misappropriation or the Intellectual Property Rights of any other third party that name the Customer Offerings, or the Exploitation thereof, as the basis for the claim(s). For purposes of clarification, the references above to “reasonable diligence” shall also mean with respect to claim(s) of infringement, violation or misappropriation of the Intellectual Property Rights of any other third party that name the Customer Offerings, or the Exploitation thereof, as the basis for the claim(s).

(f) Infringement of Rights. Except as set forth in Section 2.11(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, to the knowledge of the Seller, no person (including any current or former employee or consultant of the Seller) is infringing, violating or misappropriating any of the Seller Owned Intellectual Property or any Seller Licensed Intellectual Property which is exclusively licensed to the Seller. The Seller has provided to the Buyer copies of all correspondence, analyses, legal opinions, complaints, claims, notices or threats concerning the infringement, violation or misappropriation of any Seller Owned Intellectual Property.

(g) Outbound IP Agreements. Except for the Customer Contracts, Section 2.11(g) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies each license, covenant or other agreement, if any, pursuant to which the Seller has assigned, transferred, licensed, distributed or otherwise granted any right or access to any person, or covenanted not to assert any right, with respect to any past, existing or future Seller Intellectual Property. Except in its agreements with its customers, the Seller has not agreed to indemnify any person against any infringement, violation or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property rights with respect to any Customer Offerings or any third party Intellectual Property rights relating to the Business. Except as set forth in Section 2.11(g) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Seller is not a member of or party to any patent pool, industry standards body, trade association or other organization pursuant to the rules of which it is obligated to license any existing or future Intellectual Property relating to the Business to any person.

(h) Inbound IP Agreements. Section 2.11(h) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies (i) each item of Seller Licensed Intellectual Property (excluding currently-available, off the shelf software programs that are part of the Internal Systems and are licensed by the Seller pursuant to “shrink wrap” licenses, the total fees associated with which are less than $10,000) and (ii) except for agreements and/or assignments with Business employees and independent contractors of the Seller, each agreement, contract, assignment or other instrument pursuant to which the Seller has obtained any joint or sole ownership interest in or to each item of Seller Owned Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Section 2.11(h) of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Customer Offerings or Internal Systems includes “shareware,” “freeware” or other Software or other material that was obtained by the Seller from third parties other than pursuant to the license agreements listed in Section 2.11(h) of the Disclosure Schedule or pursuant to license agreements exempt from disclosure pursuant to Section 2.11(h)(i) above.

(i) Source Code. The Seller has not licensed, distributed or disclosed, and knows of no distribution or disclosure by others (including its employees and contractors) of, the Seller Source Code to any person, except pursuant to the agreements listed in Section 2.11(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, and the Seller has taken all reasonable physical and electronic security measures to prevent disclosure of such Seller Source Code. No event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists, that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) will, or would reasonably be expected to, nor will the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, result in the disclosure or release of such Seller Source Code by the Seller, its escrow agent(s) or any other person to any third party.

(j) Authorship.

Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article VIII and (B) the ad damnum is less than or equal to the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is liable under this Article VIII and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of Third Party Action involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action which is requested by the Controlling Party (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.3(a) or (ii) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, after consultation with legal counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to obtain such consent if (I) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person or entity and (II) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided the Indemnified Party shall not be required to obtain such consent if (I) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person or entity and (II) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnified Person without any recourse against the Indemnifying Person.

(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VIII, an Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a Response, in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer) or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount.

(d) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall discuss in good faith whether to submit the Dispute to binding arbitration, and if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree in writing to submit the Dispute to such arbitration, then the provisions of Section 8.3(e) shall become effective with respect to such Dispute. The provisions of this Section 8.3(d) shall not obligate the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party to submit to arbitration or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure with respect to any Dispute, and in the absence of an agreement by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party to arbitrate any Dispute, such Dispute shall be resolved in a state or federal court sitting in Delaware, in accordance with Section 11.11.

(e) If, as set forth in Section 8.3(d), the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to submit any Dispute to binding arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by the Arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Rules in effect from time to time and the provisions set forth on Schedule 8.3(e).

(f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 8.3, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that an Indemnified Party is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Damages for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, and such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Indemnifying Party, (ii) such Indemnified Party may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII, and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article VIII, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VIII).

If an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or an Expected Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice. If the legal proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly so notify the Indemnifying Party.
