(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer a good faith estimate of the Closing Net Asset Value determined in accordance with GAAP and the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Net Asset Value”). If the Estimated Closing Net Asset Value (i) is less than zero, then such negative amount shall be deducted from the Merger Consideration to be paid by Buyer at Closing, or (ii) is greater than zero, then such positive amount shall be added to the Merger Consideration to be paid by Buyer at Closing (the amount in (i) or (ii), the “Estimated Closing Net Asset Adjustment”).

(b) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative an unaudited statement which shall set forth Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet (together, the “Buyer Closing Net Asset Value Statement”). Upon receipt from Buyer, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have 30 days to review the Buyer Closing Net Asset Value Statement (the “Review Period”). If the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with the Buyer Closing Net Asset Value Statement, the Stockholders’ Representative may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Buyer (the “NAV Notice of Objection”), which sets forth the Stockholders’ Representative’s objection to Buyer Net Asset Value Statement. Any NAV Notice of Objection shall specify those items or amounts with which the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees, and shall set forth the Stockholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet based on such objections.

(c) Unless the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the NAV Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Buyer Closing Net Asset Value Statement, and the Buyer Closing Net Asset Value Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the NAV Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, during the 30 days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to an independent valuation firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative (the “Independent Expert”). The parties shall instruct the Independent Expert promptly to review this Section 2.7(c) and to determine solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet set forth in the Buyer Closing Net Asset Value Statement requires adjustment. The Independent Expert shall base its determination solely on written

submissions by Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative and not on an independent review. Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall make available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Expert. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative a report which sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet; provided that in no event shall the Closing Net Asset Value as determined by the Independent Expert be more than Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value set forth in the Buyer Closing Net Asset Value Statement, nor less than the Stockholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value set forth in the NAV Notice of Objection. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be shared equally by Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative provided, however, that: (a) if the Independent Expert determines a less than or equal to 5.0% variation in the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value, the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert in full; and (b) if the Independent Expert determines a greater than 5.0% variation in the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value, the Buyer shall pay the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert in full.

(d) Within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet (A) if the amount obtained by subtracting the Estimated Closing Net Asset Value from the finally determined Closing Net Asset Value is positive, Buyer shall pay to the Stockholders’ Representative (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), for distribution to SCP and the Stockholder Parties in accordance with Section 2.2(a), the amount of the difference, or (B) if the amount obtained by subtracting the Estimated Closing Net Asset Value from the finally determined Closing Net Asset Value is negative, Buyer shall set-off the amount of the difference from the Earn-Out Consideration. Notwithstanding the requirements of this provision, no amount shall be payable to the Stockholders’ Representative until Buyer has received from the Stockholders’ Representative wire payment instructions.

2.8 Earn-Out Consideration – Calculation. Subject always to the fact that the aggregate Total Consideration shall not exceed $12,170,000, the amount of the Earn-Out Consideration (the “Earn-Out Consideration”) shall be determined as follows:

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 2.8:

(i) in the event that the Accumulated Revenue for any Installment Period is equal to or less than $20 million (“Base Threshold”), the Installment Amount for such Installment Period shall be zero;

Example:

Assuming the Accumulated Revenue for the Second Installment Period is $19,990,000, the Second Installment shall be zero.

(ii) in the event that the Accumulated Revenue for the Second Installment Period is less than the Accumulated Revenue for the First Installment Period, the Second Installment shall be zero.

Example:

Assuming the Accumulated Revenue for the First Installment Period is $20,000,000 and the Accumulated Revenue for the Second Installment Period is $19,000,000, the First Installment and the Second Installment shall be zero.

(iii) the Level 1 Multiple shall only be applied to the first $2,000,000 of Incremental Revenue, the Level 2 Multiple shall only be applied to the second $2,000,000 of Incremental Revenue, the Level 3 Multiple shall only be applied to the third $2,000,000 of Incremental Revenue and the Level 4 Multiple shall be applied to any Incremental Revenue over and above the third $2,000,000 of Incremental Revenue. Once part of the Incremental Revenue is used in the calculation of the First Installment, then such part will no longer be available for use against such Level Multiple in the calculation of the Second Installment Period.

Example:

Assuming the Incremental Revenue for First Installment Period is $3,000,000, then the First Installment shall be $2,000,000 x 0.30 + $1,000,000 x 0.620 = $1,220,000 and $1,000,000 of future Incremental Revenue will be used against the Level 2 Multiple.

First Installment Period

(iv) In the event that the Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period is an amount less than $2,000,000, the First Installment shall be the amount of Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period multiplied by the Level 1 Multiple.

Example:

Assuming the Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period is $1,500,000, then the First Installment shall be $1,500,000 x 0.30 = $455,000 and $500,000 of future Incremental Revenue will be applied against the Level 1 Multiple.

(v) In the event that the Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period is an amount equal to or greater than $2,000,000, the First Installment shall be determined by the following formula:

[Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period up to $2,000,000 x Xxxxx 0 Multiple] + [Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period equal to or greater than $2,000,000 but less than $4,000,000 x Level 2 Multiple] + [Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period equal to or greater than $4,000,000 but less than $6,000,000 x Level 3 Multiple] + [Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period equal to or greater than $6,000,000 x Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxxxx].

Xxxxxxx:

Assuming the Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period is $3,000,000, then the First Installment shall be $2,000,000 x 0.30 + $1,000,000 x 0.62 = $1,220,000.

Assuming the Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period is $6,500,000, then the First Installment shall be $2,000,000 x 0.30 + $2,000,000 x 0.62 + $2,000,000 x 0.908 + $500,000 x 1.0 = $4,156,000

Second Installment Period

(vi) In the event that the Accumulated Revenue for the Second Installment Period is greater than the Accumulated Revenue for the First Installment Period, the Second Installment shall be the amount of Incremental Revenue for the Second Installment Period multiplied by the relevant Level Multiple as determined by the following formula provided always that if part of the Incremental Revenue for the First Installment is used in the calculation of the First Installment, then such part will no longer be available for use against such Level Multiple in the calculation of the Second Installment Period.

[Incremental Revenue for the Second Installment Period up to or equal to $2,000,000 x Xxxxx 0 Multiple] + [Incremental Revenue for the Second Installment Period equal to or greater than $2,000,000 but less than $4,000,000 x Level 2 Multiple] + [Incremental Revenue for the Second Installment Period equal to or greater than $4,000,000 up to $6,000,000 x Xxxxx 0 Multiple] + [Incremental Revenue for the Second Installment Period equal to or greater than $6,000,000 x Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxxxx].

Xxxxxxx:

Assuming the Incremental Revenue for the First Installment Period is $3,000,000 and the Incremental Revenue for the Second Installment Period is $3,500,000, then the Second Installment shall be $1,000,000 x 0.62 + $2,000,000 x 0.908 + $500,000 x 1.0 = $2,936,000.

(b) Earn-Out Disputes. For each calculation pursuant to this Section 2.8, Buyer shall deliver its calculations of the First Installment or the Second Installment, as applicable (each such calculation, the “Buyer Installment Calculations”) to the Stockholders’ Representative no more than 45 days after the end of the relevant Installment Period. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have 30 days following the delivery to the Stockholders’ Representative of the Buyer Installment Calculations during which to provide written notice to Buyer of any dispute of any item contained in Buyer Installment Calculations (an “Earn-Out Notice of Objection”). Unless the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the Earn-Out Notice of Objection to Buyer within such 30-day period, the Buyer Installment Calculations shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the Earn-Out Notice of Objection to Buyer within such 30-day period, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, during the 30 days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of the First Installment and the Second Installment, as applicable. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to the Independent Expert. The Independent Expert shall base its determination solely on written submissions by Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative and not on an independent review. Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall make available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Expert. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative a report which sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of the First Installment or the Second Installment, as applicable; provided that in no event shall the First Installment or the Second Installment, as applicable as determined by the Independent Expert be more than the Buyer Installment Calculations, nor less than the Stockholders’ Representative’s calculation of the First Installment or the Second Installment, as applicable, set forth in the Earn-Out Notice of Objection. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be shared equally by Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative provided, however, that: (a) if the Independent Expert determines a less than or equal to 5.0% variation in the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value, the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert in full; and (b) if the Independent Expert determines a greater than 5.0% variation in the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value, the Buyer shall pay the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert in full.

(c) Earn-Out Consideration – Payment. Subject always to the provisions of Section 2.8, the Earn-Out Consideration shall be payable in two installments due within ten (10) days after the final determination of the First Installment (“First Installment Payment Date”) and ten days after the final determination of the Second Installment (“Second Installment Payment Date”). Notwithstanding the requirements of this provision, no Earn-Out Consideration shall be payable until Buyer has received from the Stockholders’ Representative wire payment instructions. In Buyer’s sole discretion, 40% of the First Installment and/or Second Installment may be made in CDC Common Stock based on the following valuation:


A	=	Installment x 40%
		N

where:

A = The number of shares of CDC Common Stock to be issued in the relevant Installment provided always that if, as a result of the calculations in this Section 2.8(c), fractional shares would otherwise be issuable, then such fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the case of shares of CDC Common Stock delivered to the Company.

N = CDC Average Buy Price Per Share.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8 to the contrary, any portion of Earn-Out Consideration payable by Buyer with respect to Accumulated Revenues which have not been received by the Business on or prior to the applicable Installment Payment Date shall be excluded from the Earn-Out Consideration payable on the applicable Installment Payment Date and, in the event that it is received within one hundred eighty days (180) days after such amount is due and payable, shall be paid by Buyer on such date that is sixty (60) days after receipt by the Business of such Accumulated Revenues.

(d) Sale of Buyer or the Business. If there is a Sale of Buyer or the Business after the Closing but before the end of the Second Installment Period, no Earn-Out Consideration shall be payable with respect to the fiscal year in which the Sale of Buyer or the Business occurs or with respect to any subsequent fiscal year. In lieu of any Earn-Out Consideration that would have otherwise been payable, and in complete satisfaction of all obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.8, Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to $5,655,000 minus the aggregate amount, if any, of the Earn-Out Consideration paid to the Company prior to the date of the Sale of Buyer or the Business. Such payment shall be made by Buyer to the Company on the date of such Sale of Buyer or the Business.

(e) Operational Control of the Business. From and after the Closing until December 31, 2008, Buyer shall not, through any improper or unfair act or omission, impair the ability of the Business to achieve the target amounts for any Earn-Out Consideration, and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Business to be operated in the ordinary course of business subject to then-current commercially reasonable business practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall not take any direct or indirect action the principal purpose of which is to (i) unreasonably transfer out of the Business or terminate the Business’ employees or unreasonably diminish the Business’ operational or sales capacity or transfer, reassign or redirect customers of the Business as it existed just prior to the Effective Time; in each case where the principal intent of any of such action is to impair the ability of the Business to achieve the target amounts for any Earn-Out Consideration; (ii) cause the Business to purchase any raw materials, services, inventory or products at prices higher than the then-

prevailing market prices; (iii) directly or indirectly adjust sales prices or costs for the principal purpose of reducing any Earn-Out Consideration in a manner which would not constitute commercially reasonable business practices; or (iv) discontinue maintenance of separate books and records for the Business. Upon written request of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to receive any quarterly financial statements or other information relating to the Business from the Closing Date to December 31, 2008, provided, however, that any such information so provided to the Stockholders’ Representative shall be held in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party other than its representatives, and provided further, that the Stockholders’ Representative and its representatives shall comply with any and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the Securities Act, as applicable with respect to the disclosure of such information. In addition, from and after the Closing until December 31, 2008, Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to first direct any and all orders for products and services (excluding any products or services (A) similar to those of the Business which are sold or provided by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Partners on or prior to the Closing, and (B) generated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Partners) that are within the scope of the Business as it exists just prior to the Effective Time to the Business itself, and shall not direct such orders to any other division or business of Buyer unless the Business is unable to fulfill such orders.

2.9 Holdback. (a) An amount equal to $374,530 (“Holdback”) shall be held by Buyer in a separate account for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing. If the employment of any of the Executives or any of the employees of the Mobility Business is terminated prior to the expiration of such one hundred twenty (120) day period, Buyer shall pay to such terminated Executives or such terminated employee the severance payment set forth opposite his/her name on Schedule 2.9. If, at the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period any amounts of the Holdback have not been paid to the Executives or terminated employees of the Mobility Business, Buyer shall pay such amount to the Stockholders’ Representative within ten (10) Business Days of the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for distribution to SCP and the Stockholder Parties in accordance with Section 2.2(a); and (b) The Company covenants and agrees to terminate Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx at or prior to the Closing Date, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay all costs and expenses associated with such termination.

2.10 Transaction Incentives. The Stockholder Parties’ (acting through the Stockholders’ Representative) covenant and agree to pay from the proceeds of the Merger Consideration all amounts (if any) payable to current employees of the Company (“Transaction Incentives”) by way of bonuses, commissions, and other incentives associated with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. The Company represents and warrants to Buyer that it has no obligations to any of its current employees, officers or directors for any bonus, commission or similar incentive associated with or relating to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement except for the Transaction Incentives.

2.11 Receivables. In the event that any Net Receivables contained in the finally determined Company Balance Sheet (“Company Balance Sheet Net Receivables”) are not actually received by the Company within one hundred eighty (180) days following Closing, the difference between the Company Balance Sheet Net Receivables and the Net Receivables actually received by the Company shall be set off by Buyer from the Earn-Out Consideration.

2.12 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Article VII or at such other time as the parties hereto agree in writing. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Bockius LLP, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Pennsylvania, or at such other location as the parties hereto agree. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.”

(b) Either Buyer, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, by giving written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement if the Merger shall not have been consummated by midnight Pacific Time on December 15, 2006; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to perform in any material respect any of its obligations or covenants under this Agreement results in the failure of any condition set forth in Article VII or if the failure of such condition results from facts or circumstances that constitute a material breach of a representation or warranty or covenant made under this Agreement by such party.

(c) Either Buyer, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, by giving written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing if the other has committed a material breach of (i) any of such party’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or (ii) any of such party’s covenants contained in this Agreement, and has not cured such material breach within twenty days after the party seeking to terminate this Agreement has given the other party written notice of the material breach and its intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(c).

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival of Representations. The representations and warranties of the Company and Buyer contained in this Agreement (including the Exhibits to this Agreement) shall survive the Closing and shall remain operative and in full force and effect, from the Closing Date until the Second Installment

Payment Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.3(a), Section 3.4 and Section 4.2 and the indemnifications provided in Section 9.2 will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties to this Agreement, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the claim which seeks recovery of such Damages (the applicable expiration date of such applicable representation or warranty, the “Release Date”); provided, further, that such expiration shall not affect claims of fraud, willful misrepresentation or willful misconduct.

9.2 Indemnification.

(a) By the Stockholder Parties. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, from and after the Closing, by virtue of the Merger, the Stockholder Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Company and its directors, officers and agents (each of the foregoing being referred to individually as an “Indemnified Buyer Party” and collectively as “Indemnified Buyer Parties”) from and against any and all Losses, Liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including costs of investigation and defense, reasonable legal fees and expenses and other professionals’ and experts’ reasonable fees and expenses but excluding any consequential, diminution in value or punitive damages (collectively, “Damages”) arising from assessments, claims, demands, assertions of liability or actual or threatened actions, suits or proceedings (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) directly or indirectly incurred, paid or accrued in connection with, resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement (and the Exhibits to this Agreement), (ii) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, (iii) any of the matters set forth on Schedule 9.2(a); (iv) any Liability of the Mobility Business relating to the period prior to the Effective Time, (v) any suit, action, claim or Loss by any holder of any Common Warrant, Common Options or Company Common Shares, and (vi) any suit, action, claim or Loss associated with any demands for appraisals from any stockholders of Company Shares in accordance with Section 2.3(b).

(b) By Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Parties and their directors, officers and agents (“Indemnified Seller Party” and collectively as “Indemnified Seller Parties” from and against any Damages arising from assessments, claims, demands, assertions of liability or actual or threatened actions, suits or proceedings (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) directly or indirectly incurred, paid or accrued in connection with, resulting from or arising out of: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, and (ii) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by Buyer in this Agreement.

(c) Limitations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Indemnified Buyer Party may make a claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 9.2(a) unless and until Damages in an aggregate amount greater than $50,000 (the “Basket”) have been incurred, paid or accrued, in which case the Indemnified Buyer Party or Indemnified Seller Party may make claims for indemnification for all Damages, including those included in the Basket. In no event shall the Stockholders’ obligations pursuant to this Article IX exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the Earn-Out Consideration (the “Indemnification Cap”).

(d) Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification remedies provided in this Article IX shall constitute the exclusive remedy of the parties after Closing for any claim in connection with this Agreement or any other transaction documents, including any claim for any Damages resulting from a breach of any party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, and no party, nor any Affiliate thereof or any other Person, shall be entitled to make any claim or otherwise recover for Damages from any party except as expressly provided under this Article IX. Further more,

notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to contrary, an Indemnified Buyer Party’s sole and exclusive remedy to satisfy claims for Damages pursuant to this Article IX shall be set-off against any Earn-Out Consideration.

9.3 Claims Period. The period during which claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement may be initiated (the “Claims Period”), shall commence at the Closing and terminate on the applicable Release Date.

9.4 Resolution of Objections to Claims.

(a) Any Person who desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Article IX (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice in reasonable detail (a “Claim Notice”) to the party responsible or alleged to be responsible for indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitor”) prior to the end of any applicable Claims Period. Such notice shall briefly explain the nature of the claim and the parties known to be invoked, and shall specify the amount thereof. If the matter to which a claim relates shall not have been resolved as of the date of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall estimate the amount of the claim in the Claim Notice. Each Indemnitor to which a Claim Notice is given shall respond to any Indemnified Party that has given a Claim Notice (a “Claim Response”) within forty-five (45) days (the “Response Period”) after the date that the Claim Notice is given. Any Claim Response shall specify whether or not the Indemnitor giving the Claim Response disputes the claim described in the Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, such Indemnitor shall be deemed not to dispute the claim described in the related Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor elects not to dispute a claim described in a Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response in accordance with the terms hereof or otherwise, then the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor.

(b) If, during the Response Period, an Indemnified Party receives a Claim Response from the Indemnitor, then for a period of twenty (20) days (the “Resolution Period”) after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Claim Response, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall endeavor to resolve any dispute arising therefrom. If such dispute is resolved by the parties during the Resolution Period, the amount that the parties have specified in writing as the amount to be paid by the Indemnitor, if any, as settlement for such dispute shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor. If the parties are unable agree upon a resolution to such dispute prior to the expiration of the Resolution Period (or any extension thereto to which the Indemnitor and Indemnified Party agree in writing), the issue shall be presented to the American Arbitration Association in Wilmington, Delaware (the “AAA”) for determination. The arbitration shall be before a panel of three arbitrators, one selected by Buyer, one selected by the Stockholders’ Representative and one selected by the two selected arbitrators, and the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA shall govern such arbitration. The written determination of the AAA shall be binding upon the parties and not subject to any appeal.

9.5 Third-Party Claims. An Indemnified Party that desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Article IX with respect to any actions, suits or other administrative or judicial proceedings (each, an “Action”) that may be instituted by a third party shall give each Indemnitor prompt notice, but in no event more than twenty (20) days after having Knowledge of such Action, of a third party’s institution of such Action, and copies of all documents and information relating to such Action within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. After such notice, any Indemnitor may, at its sole option and expense, participate in such Action or assume the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice. The Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, except with the written consent of the Indemnitor. Any failure to give prompt notice under this Section 9.5 shall not bar an Indemnified Party’s right to claim indemnification under this Article IX, except to the extent that an Indemnitor shall have been harmed by such failure. If a firm written offer is made to settle any such

Action, the Indemnitor proposes to accept such settlement and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then: (i) the Indemnitor shall be excused from, and the Indemnified Party shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of such Action, and (ii) provided that only monetary damages may be recovered in such Action (and the Indemnified Party is not subject to any injunctive relief, equitable or other non-monetary relief in connection with such Action), the maximum liability of the Indemnitor relating to such Action shall be the amount of the proposed settlement if the actual monetary amount thereafter recovered from the Indemnified Party on such Action is greater. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IX, the Stockholders’ Representative covenants and agrees, at its expense, to assume and control the defense of any action or matter set forth on Schedule 3.5 with counsel of its own choice, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the authority in its sole discretion to take any actions with respect to such action or matter, including without limitation the consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, without the consent of Buyer. The Company and the Stockholders’ Representative covenant and agree to the matters set forth on Schedule 9.5.

9.6 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) Upon approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Stockholder Parties, each Stockholder Party will be deemed to have irrevocably appointed SCP Private Equity Management, LP., as its, his or her true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent (the “Stockholders’ Representative”), each with full power of substitution or resubstitution, to act solely and exclusively on behalf of such Stockholder Party with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and to act on behalf of such Stockholder Party in any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Stockholders’ Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the power:

(i) to act for such Stockholder Party with regard to matters pertaining to indemnification referred to in this Agreement, including the power to compromise any indemnity claim on behalf of such Stockholder Party;

(ii) to act for such Stockholder Party with regard to matters pertaining to litigation;

(iii) to execute and deliver all documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or amendments thereto that the Stockholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate;

(iv) to receive funds, make payments of funds, and give receipts for funds;

(v) to receive funds for the payment of expenses of such Stockholder Party and apply such funds in payment for such expenses;

(vii) to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement.

(b) The appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Buyer, Merger Subsidiary and any other person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Stockholders’ Representative in all matters referred to herein. Any action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative must be in writing and must be signed by the Stockholders’ Representative. All notices required to be made or delivered by Buyer or Merger Subsidiary to the Company described above shall be made to the Stockholders’ Representative for the benefit of such Stockholder Party and shall discharge in full all notice requirements of Buyer or Merger Subsidiary, as applicable, to such Stockholder Party with respect thereto. By their appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholder Parties thereby confirm all that the Stockholders’ Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of his appointment as the representatives of the Stockholder Parties hereunder. The Stockholders’ Representative shall act for the Stockholder Parties on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Stockholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Stockholder Parties and consistent with the obligations of the Stockholder Parties under this Agreement, but the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be responsible to any Stockholder Party for any damages which the Stockholder Parties may suffer by the performance of the Stockholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement, other than damages arising from willful violation of applicable law or gross negligence in the performance of such duties under this Agreement. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist against the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative Fund shall be used to pay expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative. By virtue of the approval of the Merger, the Stockholder Parties agree that the Stockholders’ Representative is authorized to replenish the Stockholders’ Representative Fund with funds that would otherwise be distributed to the Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Stockholder Parties, if at that time there have been expenditures from the Stockholders’ Representative Fund or if the Stockholders’ Representative in his discretion believes it is necessary to maintain or increase the Stockholders’ Representative Fund at that time. Any portion of the Stockholders’ Representative Fund not expended at the end of the Second Installment Period shall be distributed promptly by the Stockholders’ Representative to SCP and the Stockholder Parties as set forth in Section 2.2(a). By approval of the Merger, the Stockholder Parties hereby agree (a) to reimburse the Stockholders’ Representative for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement, including fees for any attorneys or other representative he may employ, and (b) to severally indemnify and hold harmless and defend the Stockholders’ Representative, his agents and assigns against all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, losses and expenses (including legal and other professional fees and expenses, and litigation costs) of any kind (whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent) arising out of or in connection with (a) the Stockholders’ Representative’s omissions to act, or actions taken, resulting from, arising out of, or incurred in connection with, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement, or (b) actions taken with respect to this Agreement or reasonably believed to be in the scope of the Stockholders’ Representative’s authority, provided that he or his agent or assign has not acted with intentional misconduct or fraud in taking such action.

(c) In the event that SCP Private Equity Management, LP resigns from its position as Stockholders’ Representative, SCP Private Equity Management, LP shall select a replacement Stockholders’ Representative, which replacement Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to be the Stockholders’ Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any statements furnished to it by the Company, any Stockholder Party, Buyer, Merger Subsidiary, or any other evidence deemed by the Stockholders’ Representative to be reliable, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to act on the advice of counsel selected by it.

10.3 Interpretation; Rules of Construction. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; and (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement and each Exhibit attached hereto, the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. Each reference herein to a law, statute, regulation, document or agreement will be deemed in each case to include all amendments thereto.

10.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.5 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the Exhibits attached hereto and the Company Disclosure Letter, (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and (ii) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder unless specifically provided otherwise herein. The express terms of this Agreement control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

10.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Buyer may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer without the Company’s prior consent; provided, however, that Buyer shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

10.7 Amendment; Extension; Waiver. Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the parties hereto may amend this Agreement at any time pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision in this Agreement.

No party is by virtue of this Agreement authorized as an agent, employee or legal representative of any other party.

10.9 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10.10 Guaranty. CDC Software Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the Delaware (“CDC Software”), represents that Buyer is an Affiliate of CDC Software. As such, and as an inducement to cause the Company and the Stockholder Parties to enter into this Agreement, CDC Software unconditionally guarantees the payment obligations of Buyer under this Agreement up to and including those arising in connection with the Closing, including, without limitation, the payment of the Merger Consideration. The obligations of CDC Software are independent of the obligations of Buyer to the Stockholder Parties.
