RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Sellers own all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares”) and class A preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”, and collectively with the Common Shares, the "Shares”) of TimeSpring Software Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Company”);

WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Sellers and the Sellers desire to sell, assign and transfer to the Purchaser the Shares, which transfer shall cause the Purchaser to be the sole owner of the Company, all for the Purchase Price and subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions hereinafter set forth;

WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Sellers have agreed that the Purchase Price (defined herein) per Common Share is $0.0001 (the “Common Share Price”) and that the Purchase Price per Preferred Share is $0.47713 which prices have been determined by the Sellers based on the existing liquidation preferences in the Company’s certificate of incorporation which, based on the Purchase Price, would result in the holders of Common Shares receiving no consideration in connection with the sale of the Company pursuant to the terms hereof;

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

Appendix A sets forth a list of certain defined terms used in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES

2.01 Sale and Delivery of Shares

On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, each Seller agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from each Seller, the Shares set forth opposite each Seller’s name on Exhibit A hereto for the Purchase Price set forth opposite each Seller’s name on Exhibit A hereto, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.03 and Section 2.04.

2.02 Share Purchase Price

As consideration for the purchase and sale of the Shares and payment of the Funded Indebtedness, Purchaser shall pay Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to each Seller into the accounts designated in writing by the Sellers as shown on Exhibit A, the following sums (the “Purchase Price”):

(a) Closing Cash Payments. Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000 ) plus the amount of the Net Operating Costs through Closing plus the amount of the Initial Working Capital Adjustment Payment (if any and as provided below), less the amount of the Funded Indebtedness (the “Initial Purchase Price”) in cash. Of this amount, One Million Two Hundred Thousand ($1,200,000) (the “Escrow Amount”) shall be paid to the Escrow Agent and shall be held in escrow for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date as security for the indemnification obligations of the Sellers set forth in Section 8.02, and Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) (the “SR&ED Escrow Amount”) shall be paid to the Escrow Agent and shall be held in escrow until the receipt of the SR&ED Cheque(s) with respect to the SR&ED Credit as security for the indemnification obligations of the Significant Shareholders with respect to the SR&ED Credit, as set forth in Section 8.02. The Escrow Amount and the SR&ED Escrow Amount shall be governed by the terms and conditions of an Escrow Agreement by and among

the Significant Shareholders, Purchaser, Double-Take Software Canada, Inc. and Computershare (the “Escrow Agent”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C;

(b) Payment of Funded Indebtedness. All Funded Indebtedness shall be paid in cash by the Purchaser to the creditors thereof, as set forth in Exhibit B, at Closing; and

(c) Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment. The amount, if any, determined pursuant to Section 2.04 below within the time frame set forth therein.

2.03 Closing Purchase Price Adjustment

(a) At least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, the Significant Shareholders shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth in good faith the value of the Working Capital, estimated as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital Statement”) in a form substantially similar to Exhibit G.

(b) At the Closing, the Significant Shareholders shall provide Purchaser with a notice that includes the Significant Shareholders’ determination of the “Initial Working Capital Adjustment Payment”, which shall equal the difference, if any, between (x) the amount of the Working Capital, as reflected on the Estimated Working Capital Statement, minus (y) the Target Working Capital. If the Initial Working Capital Adjustment Payment is a positive amount, then the Initial Purchase Price to be paid by the Purchaser at Closing shall be increased by the amount of the Initial Working Capital Adjustment Payment. If the Initial Working Capital Adjustment Payment is a negative amount, then the Initial Purchase Price to be paid by the Purchaser at Closing shall be reduced by the amount of the Initial Working Capital Adjustment Payment.

2.04 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment

(a) The Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative, as promptly as practical, but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing, a balance sheet of the Company at the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”), a calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital derived from the Closing Date Balance Sheet (and in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 (a)) a notice setting forth the Purchaser’s determination of the Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment (the “Closing Net Working Capital Statement”), all of which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the Company’s past practices (which past practices shall include any year end adjustments made by the Company or required by the Company’s auditors in previous years). The Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment shall be calculated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04.

(b) The Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment shall be equal to the difference, if any, between (x) the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, as reflected on the Closing Net Working Capital Statement, minus (y) the amount of the Working Capital (positive or negative), as reflected in the Estimated Working Capital Statement (the “Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment is negative, the Significant Shareholders shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of such difference and if the Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment is positive, the Purchaser shall pay to the Significant Shareholders the amount of such difference in accordance with Sections 2.04 (e) and (f).

(c) Following receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment, the Significant Shareholders will be afforded a period of thirty (30) days to review the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement (the “Review Period”). The Significant Shareholders shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the Closing Date Balance Sheet unless, prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative delivers to the Purchaser written notice setting forth reasonable detail on the amount (if any) and nature of those items in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the Closing Date Balance Sheet that the Significant Shareholders dispute, in which case the Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the Closing Date Balance Sheet to the extent not affected by the disputed items, will be deemed to be accepted, and the items identified by the Significant Shareholders shall be deemed to be in dispute and will be handled in accordance with Section (d) below. In order to permit the Significant Shareholders to effectively review the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement, the Purchaser shall promptly, upon written request of the Sellers’ Representative, provide copies of all relevant accounting worksheets and documentation of the Purchaser used in connection with the preparation of such documents and amounts.

(d) Within a further period of thirty (30) days from the end of the Review Period, the parties will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items. Failing such resolution, the unresolved disputed items will be referred for final binding resolution to KPMG LLP (or, if it refuses such mandate, Ernst & Young, if it refuses such mandate BDO Dunwoody LLP, and if all three refuse, to a nationally recognized, independent accounting firm) (the “Accounting Referee”). The Accounting Referee shall be directed to issue a decision within forty-five (45) days of submission of the unresolved disputed items to the Accounting Referee. The unresolved disputed items (if any) relating to the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement, will be deemed to be as determined by the Accounting Referee in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the Company’s past practices (which past practices shall include any year end adjustments made by the Company or required by the Company’s auditors in previous years). If the Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of the disputed item was incorrect by more than 20%, the Significant Shareholders shall bear the full cost of the determination by the Accounting Referee, otherwise such costs shall be equally paid by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Significant Shareholders on the other hand. The decision of the Accounting Referee shall be final and binding and shall not be subject to appeal or challenge for any reason (other than gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct).

(e) Within five (5) business days after the determination of the Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment, the Significant Shareholders shall pay to the Purchaser, or the Purchaser shall pay to the Significant Shareholders, as the case may be, the net amount of any adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price required pursuant to Section 2.04(b).

(f) Any payments pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing at least five (5) business days prior to such payment by the Sellers’ Representative or the Purchaser, as the case may be. Payments shall bear interest ninety (90) days after the Closing through the date of payment at the rate of interest publicly announced by Bank of Montreal or any successor thereto in Montreal, Quebec from time to time as its prime rate for Canadian dollar loans from the Closing to the date of payment plus two percent (2%).

2.05 Cancellation of Options; Completion of Audit

(a) The Company shall have taken all actions necessary to cancel all outstanding Stock Options without any further liability to the Company as of the Closing Date, including without limitation, by sending any notices required by the Employee Stock Option Plan of TimeSpring Software, Inc. (the “TimeSpring Option Plan”).

(b) The Company shall have delivered to the Purchaser the signed audit report for the year ended December 31, 2006 as certified by Deloitte & Touche, independent public accountants, in no event later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date.

2.06 Non-Resident Withholding Tax

Each Non-Resident Seller hereby represents and warrants that he shall comply with the provisions and requirements of section 116 of the ITA, and sections 1097 and following of the QTA. “QTA” means the Taxation Act (Quebec), R.S.Q., c.I-3, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, including any notice or announcement by the Minister of Finance (Quebec) or Revenue Quebec which may result in an amendment.

7.01(c)(iii) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(vi) The Purchaser shall not grant or agree to any waiver of any limitation period in respect of a Tax Claim referred to in Section 7.01(c)(i) unless the Sellers’ Representative has been given a notice by the Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.01(c)(i) and the Significant Shareholders have failed to give the notice contemplated by Section 7.01(c)(iii) to the Purchaser before the earlier of the date on which the deadline for providing the waiver expires (which date shall be specified in the notice given to the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with Section 7.01(c)(i)) and the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day following receipt by the Sellers’ Representative of the notice contemplated by Section 7.01(c)(i).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser and the Sellers agree to retain or cause to be retained all books and records relating to Tax matters for Tax Periods or portions of Tax Periods of the Company and any Subsidiary ending on or before the Closing Date or Taxes arising before the Closing Date until thirty (30) days after the expiration of any applicable limitation period under any applicable Law with respect to Taxes, and to abide by or cause the abidance with all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate fully with each other in the conduct of any audit or proceeding involving the Company and any Subsidiary for any Tax purposes and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this subsection.

(e) Competent Authority Proceedings:

If, pursuant to the provisions of a tax treaty entered into by two countries, the Significant Shareholders wish that a submission be made to the competent authority of any one of such countries with respect to an issue that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Purchaser shall reasonably collaborate with the Significant Shareholders and shall cause the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to reasonably collaborate with the Significant Shareholders at the expense of the Significant Shareholders with respect to reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

(f) Refunds

If the Sellers, the Purchaser or the Company or any Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of them receives a refund of Taxes with respect to which another Party to this Agreement is responsible and has paid pursuant to this Agreement, such entity or person shall promptly (no later than fifteen (15) days following the receipt of such refund) remit such amount to the entity or persons entitled to such refund hereunder.

(f) Transfer Taxes

All sales and transfer taxes, if any, which may be payable with respect to the consummation of the Transactions, shall be borne equally by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Significant Shareholders, on the other hand, and, to the extent any exemptions from such taxes are available, Purchaser and the Significant Shareholders shall cooperate to prepare any certificates or other documents necessary to claim such exemptions.

7.02 Publicity

No Purchaser, Seller or Company shall issue any press release or make any public disclosure or disclosure to any third party (other than its attorneys, advisors, agents, lenders and investors) regarding the transaction contemplated hereby unless the press release or public or third party disclosure is approved by Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may make statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby that are required by Law and the Purchaser and its Affiliates may, in a manner consistent with the past disclosure practices of the stockholder of the Purchaser, disclose the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein and disseminate any press release or other announcement concerning this Agreement without the prior written agreement of any Seller.

7.03 Confidentiality

(a) Except as required by applicable Law, each Seller shall, and shall cause Persons directly or indirectly controlled by such Seller to, for a period of three (3) years from the date hereof, hold in confidence all confidential information with respect to the business of the Company and shall not disclose, publish or make use of the same without the consent of the Purchaser, except (i) to the extent that such information shall have become public knowledge other than by breach of this Agreement by the Sellers; (ii) in the event any of the Sellers is requested in a legal proceeding (by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the knowledge and information, the Seller shall give the Purchaser prompt notice of such request so that the Purchaser may seek a protective order or other similar relief with respect to such disclosure so as to maintain the confidential nature of the information and (iii) in the event any of the Sellers is otherwise required by law to disclose any of his knowledge or information regarding the Purchaser, said Seller shall give the Purchaser notice of the information to be disclosed and such opportunity as is reasonably practicable to review the proposed disclosure and comment thereon.

(b) Each Seller agrees that the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 7.03 would be inadequate and that the Purchaser shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy it may have upon breach of any provision of this Section.

7.04 Records

Subject to Section 7.02, with respect to the financial books and records of the Company, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, neither any Seller nor the Purchaser shall cause or permit their destruction or disposal without first offering to surrender them to the Purchaser or the Sellers as appropriate, and the Sellers and the Purchaser shall allow the Purchaser and the Sellers and their representatives, as appropriate, access to such books and records during regular business hours.

7.05 Employee Benefits Matters.

(b) In the event notice of any claim for indemnification for breach of a representation, warranty, or covenant is given within the applicable survival period set forth herein and no later than 30 Business Days of the Purchaser’s or Double-Take’s determination, as the case may be, that it has such claim, the cause of action that is the subject of such indemnification claim shall survive until such time as such claim is finally resolved.

8.02 Indemnification by Seller

(a) Subject to Sections 8.02(c) and 8.02(f), each Significant Shareholder, solidarily (jointly and severally) but only to the extent of the funds in the Escrow Account (and no more) and severally (and not jointly or solidarily) for sums in excess of the funds in the Escrow Account, hereby agrees from and after the Closing Date to indemnify, defend and hold harmless from and against and pay to the Purchaser, the Company (post Closing), their Affiliates (including Double-Take), and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, shareholders, members and employees and their heirs, successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties” and, collectively with the Seller Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all demands, claims, obligations, complaints, actions or causes of action, suits, proceedings, investigations, arbitrations, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Losses”), imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, arising out of (i) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such Significant Shareholder contained in Articles 4, (ii) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Article 5 and, without duplication, any claims or liability relating to (a) the remedial resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 5, 2007 and its shareholders on November 14, 2007 with respect to the maintenance of the Company’s corporate records and documentation of prior actions, (b) the amendment agreement to the Existing Shareholders’ Agreement dated December 10, 2007, and (c) Claims made by Nathalie D’Amours relating to her employment by the Company or the termination thereof, (iii) any breach, non fulfillment or violation of any covenant of such Significant Shareholder or of the Company in this Agreement, (iv) any liability arising from the termination, prior to the Closing, of any employee or consultant of the Company or its Subsidiaries to the extent that the facts giving rise to the cause of action are not disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules hereto, (v) any claims or liability relating to the use of the drag-along provisions of the Existing Shareholders’ Agreement, any claims or liability relating to the termination thereof, any claims or liability relating to the termination of the TimeSpring Option Plan and any Losses which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties at any time shall or may sustain or

incur as a result of the issuance and transfer of replacement stock certificates for those original certificates listed on Schedule 8.02(a)(v) hereto (each a “Lost Certificate”) or the failure to surrender for cancellation, or by reason of any payment, transfer, exchange or other act of the Company with respect to a Lost Certificate, or by reason of any refusal to issue a new certificate to any person offering to surrender a Lost Certificate, (vi) any decrease of the Company’s SR&ED Credits for periods prior to the Closing Date as a result of review of such credits by the relevant tax authorities, including any finding or determination by any Governmental Authority that the Company’s SR&ED Credit is less than the amount set out in the Estimated Working Capital Statement, and (vii), without duplication of any amounts claimed under Sections 8.02(a)(ii) and 8.02(a)(iii), any liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing.

(b) Subject to Section 8.02(c) and 8.02(f), each Minority Interest Shareholder, severally (and not jointly or solidarily) and in any event, hereby agrees from and after the Closing Date to indemnify, defend and hold harmless from and against and pay to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses, imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, arising out of (i) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such Minority Interest Shareholder contained in Article 4 and (ii) any breach, non fulfillment or violation of any covenant of such Minority Interest Shareholder under this Agreement.

(c) Except for claims under Section 8.02(a)(v) and 8.02(a)(vii), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to assert rights of indemnification under this Article 8 for Losses that do not exceed $10,000 (the “Threshold Amount”) (it being understood that like claims may be aggregated for purposes of reaching the Threshold Amount). Furthermore, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.02(a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv) and a(vi) except to the extent (and then only to the extent) the Losses therefrom exceed an aggregate amount equal to Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000) (the “Indemnity Basket”), in which event the entire aggregate amount of Losses shall be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.02; provided, that for purposes of calculating the Indemnity Basket, any qualifier as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect to the representations and warranties of any Seller, as the case may be, shall be disregarded and, provided further, that any and all Losses of any Purchaser Indemnified Party indemnified pursuant to: (i) Section 8.02(a) relating to or arising out of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 4 shall be recoverable without regard to the Indemnity Basket, and (ii) Section 8.02(a)(vi) shall be recoverable without regard to the Indemnity Basket and Threshold Amount once the SR&ED Escrow Amount has been released; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Indemnity Basket, any qualifier as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect to the representations and warranties of any Seller, as the case may be, contained in Article 4 shall not be disregarded.

(d) Subject to Section 8.02(f), any payment that the Sellers are obligated to make to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article 8 shall be paid out of the Escrow Funds, if any, and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement for the twenty-four

(24) month period following the Closing Date. On the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Funds plus accrued interest thereon (to the extent not used to pay the Purchaser for any indemnification claim hereunder) to the Significant Shareholders, except that the Escrow Agent shall retain an amount equal to the amount of claims for indemnification under this Article 8 asserted in writing prior to such date but not yet resolved (the “Unresolved Claims”). The Escrow Amount retained for Unresolved Claims shall be released by the Escrow Agent (to the extent not used to pay the Purchaser for any such claims resolved in favor of the Purchaser) upon their resolution in accordance with this Article 8 and the Escrow Agreement.

(e) Any payment that the Significant Shareholders are obligated to make pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(vi) shall be paid first out of the SR&ED Escrow Funds for so long as such funds are under escrow and in an amount sufficient to cover such payment, if any, and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Upon the receipt by the Company of the SR&ED Cheque(s), the Escrow Agent shall release the SR&ED Escrow Amount plus accrued interest thereon (to the extent not used to pay the Purchaser for any indemnification claim) to the Significant Shareholders, except that the Escrow Agent shall retain an amount equal to the amount of any claims for indemnification under Section 8.02(a)(vi) asserted in writing prior to such date but not yet resolved (the “SR&ED Unresolved Claims”). The Escrow Amount retained for SR&ED Unresolved Claims shall be released by the Escrow Agent (to the extent not used to pay the Purchaser for any such claims resolved in favor of the Purchaser) upon their resolution in accordance with this Article 8 and the Escrow Agreement. Any remaining Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(vi) following the release of the SR&ED Escrow Amount or in excess of the funds in the SR&ED Escrow Account, shall be covered next from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of 8.02(d) and the Escrow Agreement.

(f) Except in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or gross negligence of a Seller:

(i) the maximum aggregate liability of each Seller for Indemnification under Sections 8.02(a)(i), (a)(v) and (b)(i) shall be limited to the portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such Seller and any payment that the Significant Shareholders are obligated to make pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(v) shall be made promptly by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Purchaser may, but is not required to, have such payments made from the Escrow Account; and provided, further, that the Significant Shareholders shall be solidarily (jointly and severally) liable to the extent of the funds in the Escrow Account for any Losses under Section 8.02(a)(v), and severally thereafter but only up to the portion of the Purchase Price received by each. For greater certainty, no Significant Shareholder shall be liable hereunder for an amount in excess of the portion of the Puchaser Price it received.

(ii) the maximum aggregate liability of all Sellers for indemnification under Sections 8.02(a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv), (a)(vi), a(vii) and (b)(ii) shall be limited to the Escrow Amount being the funds therein. For greater certainty, the funds in the Escrow Account (if any) are the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ sole recourse

against the Sellers for indemnification under Sections 8.02(a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv), (a)(vi), (a)(vii) and (b)(ii).

(iii) In addition, the funds in SR&ED Escrow Account may only be used for a claim made pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(vi) and not for, or to satisfy, any other claim or Loss whatsoever; provided, however, that the funds in the Escrow Account (if any) can be used to satisfy any claim made pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(vi) in the event that the SR&ED Escrow Account is insufficient to cover the full amount of the Loss under Section 8.02(a)(vi).

8.03 Indemnification by the Purchaser

The Purchaser hereby agrees from and after the Closing Date to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers, their Affiliates and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, shareholders and employees and their heirs, successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly, relating to or arising out of the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement and the Closing Documents for the period during which claims and causes of action with respect thereto survive. Except with respect to the payment of the Initial Purchase Price and the release of the Escrow Amount, the Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to assert rights of indemnification under this Article 8 for Losses that do not exceed the Threshold Amount (it being understood that like claims may be aggregated for purposes of reaching the Threshold Amount), in which event the entire aggregate amount of Losses shall be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.03.

8.04 Third Party Claims

Promptly after the receipt by either Seller Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party (in either case an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action against such Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim with respect thereto is to be made pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, give the Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be (in either case an “Indemnifying Party”) written notice thereof in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to such Indemnified Party along with a copy of the claim. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Article 8 except where, and then solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of the Indemnifying Party. If the claim relates to Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to Indemnified Party, provided that with respect to any Losses covered by the Escrow Amount the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of such claim actively and diligently. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in such defense so long as the Indemnified Party is not materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and may participate in the defense of such claim. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor any Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such claim without the prior written

consent of the other, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such consent shall be granted in connection with any settlement (A) containing a full release of the party from whom such consent is so requested and (B) in the case of a consent from a Indemnified Party, involving only monetary damages not fully paid by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party or, (ii) in the reasonable written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between either the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party which would materially prejudice the Indemnified Party. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense of such claim, each party shall provide to the other parties on request all information and documentation reasonably necessary to support and verify any Losses which give rise to such claim for indemnification and shall provide reasonable access to all books, records and personnel in their possession or under their control which would have a bearing on such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.04 shall not apply to Tax matters governed by Section 7.01.

8.05 Exclusive Remedy

The parties acknowledge and agree that, other than with respect to claims for equitable relief in respect of covenants and agreements of the parties herein, and other than for claims of fraud or willful misrepresentations or pursuant to Article 2 and Article 3, their sole remedy after the Closing for any Losses as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 8. The Parties agree that if a Claim for indemnification is made by one Party in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be, and there has been a refusal by the other Party to make payment or otherwise provide satisfaction in respect of such Claim, then arbitration, in accordance with Section 9.15, is the appropriate means to seek a remedy for such refusal. This Article 8 shall remain in full force and effect in all circumstances and shall not be terminated by any breach (fundamental, negligent or otherwise) by any Party of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or under any Closing Document or by any termination or rescission of this Agreement by any Party. This Article 8 shall not restrict the ability of any party to seek specific performance of this Agreement or any Closing Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

8.06 Calculation of Losses Subject to Indemnification

The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article 8 shall be computed net of any third party insurance proceeds actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with such Loss and shall exclude consequential damages, lost profits, and punitive damages except to the extent that the Loss includes consequential damages, lost profits and punitive damages that are components of awards by claims from third parties.

8.07 One Recovery

A Party shall not be entitled to double recovery for any Claims even though they may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants made by the other Party in this Agreement.

8.08 Duty to Mitigate

Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the general obligation at law of a Party to mitigate any loss which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by the other Party of any representation, warranty or covenant of that other Party under this Agreement. If any Claim can be reduced by any recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, a Party shall take all appropriate steps to enforce such recovery, settlement or payment. The cost of such mitigation shall be indemnified Losses for purposes of this Article 8.

8.09 Purchaser Cooperation

The Purchaser shall cooperate with any request of the Sellers and make available, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, all information (but excluding privileged communications) necessary for the Sellers to pursue any indemnification or reimbursement from a third party for any Losses in the event that the Sellers, in their sole discretion, decide to pursue such indemnification or reimbursement.

8.10 Continuance of Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification

(a) The Purchaser shall cause the certificate and articles of incorporation, as amended or restated heretofore (each referred to hereinafter as a “Charter”), and bylaws, as amended or restated heretofore (each referred to hereinafter as the “Bylaws”), of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries or their successors or assigns after the Closing Date to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification for matters occurring prior to the Closing Date than are set forth in each Company and Subsidiary’ Charter and Bylaws as of the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Closing Date, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company and Subsidiaries, with respect to any matters occurring, or any cause of action, suit or Claim arising from any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, unless such modification shall be required by Law.

(b) The Purchaser shall arrange, or shall cause the Company, the Subsidiaries or their successors or assigns to arrange, for “tail” coverage for six (6) years under each Company and Subsidiary’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date which policies will provide no less favorable terms or dollar limit coverage than the existing policy.

8.11 Double-Take Joinder

Double-Take hereby joins as a primary party in the covenants of the Purchaser set forth in Sections 2.02, 2.03(b), 3.01(d), 8.03 and 8.04 herein and in the Escrow Agreement and hereby guarantees the performance of all such obligations by the Purchaser.

ARTICLE 9

For purposes of clarity, any Company Transaction Expenses (a) incurred by or at the direction of the Sellers or the Company at or prior to Closing that become due and payable after Closing shall be borne by the Sellers and (b) incurred by or at the direction of the Purchaser, Double-take or the Company following the Closing shall be borne by Purchaser.
