ARTICLE 1. PURCHASE OF ASSETS; ASSUMPTION OF SELECT LIABILITIES

1.1 Assets. Seller hereby sells to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby purchases from Seller, all of the assets of Seller used in the Business other than the assets listed in Section 1.2 (collectively referred to as the “Assets” and individually referred to as an “Asset”). The Assets include all of Seller’s rights, title, and interest in all of Seller’s:

(j) non-cash rewards, such as SPIFs, flex-dollar accounts, and other similar non-cash benefits from purchase orders made by Seller before the Closing Date (collectively, “MDFs”).

Seller has made a good faith attempt to list all of the Assets on Exhibit A hereto; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an Asset is set forth in Section 1.2, any failure to list an Asset thereon shall not mean that such item is not an Asset purchased by Purchaser hereunder. At the Closing as defined below, the Assets shall be directly conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered by Seller to Purchaser, free and clear of all liens or encumbrances of any nature.

1.2 Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding any contrary provision and/or definition of Assets, all of the following assets shall be excluded from the definition of “Assets” for purposes of this Agreement, including the following:

1.3 Liabilities. Purchaser hereby assumes and agrees to discharge and perform, and Seller hereby assigns to Purchaser, only the following liabilities of Seller, in each case only to the extent reflected on the Closing Statement (defined below) (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(a) accounts payable relating to the Business;

(b) customer deposits; and

(c) any outstanding obligations of the Assumed Contracts (excluding obligations and liabilities for breaches, defaults and unrecorded liabilities relating to periods before the Closing).

Seller has listed all of the Assumed Liabilities on Exhibit B hereto. Other than the Assumed Liabilities specifically listed on Exhibit B, Purchaser shall not assume and shall not be liable for, and Seller shall retain and, as between Purchaser and Seller, remain solely liable for and obligated to discharge, all of the debts, shareholder loans, indebtedness for borrowed money, environmental claims, bulk sales liabilities or other liabilities, commitments, obligations and other liabilities of Seller, whether known or unknown, accrued or not accrued, fixed or contingent, and arising out of or resulting from Seller’s operation of the Business before the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser shall not assume and shall not be liable for any sales taxes owed by Seller arising out of Seller’s operation of the Business prior to the Closing, any real estate and equipment leases of Seller’s facility and Purchaser shall not be responsible for any employees, severance or related obligations of Seller, including any employment agreements, employment obligations, benefits or severance relating to any of its employees. Costs and expenses of Seller incurred or to be incurred by it in the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including legal fees, shall not be set forth on Exhibit B and shall not be an Assumed Liability. Any liabilities and obligations of Seller which are not Assumed Liabilities shall remain liabilities and obligations of Seller and shall be called “Excluded Liabilities.” Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from all Excluded Liabilities.

1.5 Consent of Third Parties. To the extent that the assignment of all or any portion of any contract of Seller relating to the Business and listed as an Assumed Liability shall require the consent of the other party thereto or any other third party, this Agreement shall not constitute

an agreement to assign any such contract included in the Assets if an attempted assignment without any such consent would constitute a breach or violation thereof.

For the applicable Non-Compete Period (defined below), each of Seller, Xxxxx, and Akler agrees not to compete directly with Purchaser, or indirectly with Purchaser as a principal, shareholder, partner, member manager, sole proprietor, officer, director, employee or agent of any entity in each case with respect to any services or products that would be competitive with products related to the Business. The restrictions set forth in this Section 5.7 shall be effective within all cities, counties and states of the United States any throughout the world. It is expressly agreed that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate Purchaser for any breach of the covenants as set forth in this Section 5.7 and that Purchaser will be entitled to seek and obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity to which Purchaser is then entitled. Each of Xxxxx and Akler agrees that the terms and time period provided for, and the geographical area encompassed by, the covenants contained in Agreement above are necessary and reasonable in order to protect Purchaser in the conduct of the Business acquired by virtue of this Agreement. The covenants contained herein shall be construed as if each covenant is divided into separate and distinct covenants. If any court or other competent tribunal having

jurisdiction at any time hereafter shall hold any provision or clause of this Section 5.7 to be unreasonable as to its scope, territory or term, and if such court or tribunal in its judgment or decree shall declare or determine that scope, territory or term which such court or tribunal deems to be reasonable, then such scope, territory or term, as the case may be, shall be deemed automatically to have been reduced or modified to conform to that declared or determined by such court or tribunal to be reasonable. For purposes of this Section 5.7, “Non-Compete Period” shall mean (i) three years following the date hereof, in the case of Seller, (ii) three years following the date hereof, in the case of Xxxxx, and (iii) one year following the date hereof, in the case of Akler. Nothing herein shall prohibit either Xxxxx or Akler from being a passive, beneficial owner of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of any class of securities that is publicly traded on a national stock exchange. Purchaser acknowledges that the PCTorque Inc.’s sale of laptops and personal computers in the ordinary course of its business is not subject to this Section 5.7.

ARTICLE 6. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION.

6.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by Seller or Purchaser herein, or in any certificate, schedule or exhibit delivered pursuant hereto, shall in no manner be limited by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of either party or by the waiver or satisfaction of any condition to closing and shall survive the Closing as follows. All representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 and Article 4 shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date hereof. No claim for indemnification relating to a representation or warranty by a Party may be made under this Article 6 unless a Seller Indemnification Notice or Buyer Indemnification Notice, as applicable, is given within the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 6.1. The aggregate maximum amount that any Party may recover for under Section 6.2(a)(i) or 6.3(a)(i) shall be equal to $150,000. For purposes of this Agreement, Losses shall mean shall mean any loss, demand, action, cause of action, assessment, damage, liability, cost or expense, including without limitation, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses incurred in the investigation, prosecution, defense or settlement thereof, but excluding special, incidental or consequential damages (including without limitation loss of profits or revenues) related to any such loss, demand, action, cause of action, assessment, damage, liability, cost or expense, other than special or consequential damages actually awarded to a third party and paid or payable to such third party by a party hereto. All Losses shall be net of: (i) amounts payable to the claiming party under any insurance policy that covers such claim or would have covered such claim under any insurance policy of Seller in effect on or before the Closing Date (provided that Losses may nevertheless include any related deductibles that are paid or would be paid under such policies and any costs or expenses incurred in enforcing rights to obtain such payments or reimbursements under such insurance policies), and (ii) the amount of any income tax benefit that accrues to, or would accrue at the end of the applicable tax year of, the claiming Party.

6.2 Indemnification by Purchaser.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 6, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from, against, for and in respect of any and all

Losses asserted against, relating to, imposed upon or incurred by Seller by reason of, resulting from, based upon or arising out of any of the following:

(i) the breach, inaccuracy, untruth or incompleteness of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement, certificate, schedule or exhibit delivered by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement;

(ii) the breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the agreements executed in connection herewith;

(iii) all Assumed Liabilities; and/or

(iv) Purchaser’s ownership, control, and/or use of the Assets and business operations on and after the date hereof; provided, however, that the Purchaser indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 6.2(a)(iv) shall not apply if the underlying cause of claim is or would have been indemnifiable pursuant to Section 6.3 and such claim was not timely made under Section 6.3.

(b) Notice of Claims. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing stating that with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Purchaser set forth in Section 6.2(a), Losses exist and specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or claim to which such item is related (the “Seller Indemnification Notice”).

(c) Objections to Claims. If Purchaser does not object to any Indemnification Notice within sixty (60) days of receipt, the claims made in such notice shall be deemed to be agreed to among the Parties and Purchaser shall be liable for the related Losses. If Purchaser objects to claims made in such Indemnification Notice, it must deliver a written objection (“Purchaser Objection Notice”) to Seller, within 30 days after the delivery of the Seller Indemnification Notice, detailing the reasons and basis for such objection. If a Purchaser Objection Notice is delivered, Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days after delivery of the Purchaser Objection Notice to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims. If Seller and Purchaser should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Parties. If the Parties do not agree, then the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.4.

(d) Third-Party Claims. Seller shall have the right, with the consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to settle all indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled, and reasonably to defend (without the consent of Purchaser) through counsel of its own choosing, at its own expense, any action which may be brought by a third party in connection therewith, provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to have its counsel participate fully in such defense at its own expense. In the event that Purchaser has consented to any such settlement, Purchaser shall have no power or authority to object under this Article 6 to the amount of any claim by

Seller against Purchaser for indemnity with respect to such settlement. Purchaser and Seller shall keep each other reasonably informed of all settlement negotiations with third parties and of the progress of any litigation with third parties. Purchaser and Seller shall permit each other reasonable access to books and records and otherwise cooperate with all reasonable requests of each other in connection with any matter or claim for indemnification.

(e) Nothing contained in this Article 6 shall limit in any manner any remedy at law or in equity to which Seller shall be entitled against Purchaser as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Purchaser.

6.3 Indemnification by Seller.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 6, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from, against, for and in respect of any and all Losses asserted against, relating to, imposed upon or incurred by Purchaser by reason of, resulting from, based upon or arising out of any of the following (collectively, “Indemnifiable Losses”):

(i) the breach, inaccuracy, untruth or incompleteness of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any agreement, certificate, schedule or exhibit delivered by Seller in connection with this Agreement;

(ii) the breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any agreements executed in connection herewith of the Ancillary Agreements;

(iii) any liability for Transaction Taxes;

(iv) all Excluded Liabilities; or

(v) operations of the Business prior to the date hereof.

(b) Nothing contained in this Article 6 shall limit in any manner any remedy at law or in equity to which Purchaser shall be entitled against Seller as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller, or any of its respective representatives or agents. The provisions of Section 6.3(a) above shall not limit, in any manner, Seller’s obligation to indemnify Purchaser for any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller to be performed by Seller following the date hereof, including, without limitation, Seller’s obligation to perform and discharge all Excluded Liabilities and Seller’s obligations arising out of agreements executed in connection herewith.

(c) Claims Offset. Purchaser may in good faith offset any Losses for which it in good faith is seeking indemnification hereunder against the principal amount of the Holdback Note and/or the amount of any Earnout Amount payable; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be liable for any amounts so offset to the extent such amounts are finally determined not to be Indemnifiable Losses.

(d) Notice of Claims. Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller in writing of all matters which may give rise to the right to right of indemnification hereunder and specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or claim to which such item is related (the “Purchaser Indemnification Notice”).

(e) Objections to Claims. If Seller does not object to any Indemnification Notice within thirty (30) days of receipt, the claims made in such notice shall be deemed to be agreed to between Purchaser and Seller, and Seller shall be liable for the related Losses. If Seller objects to claims made in such Indemnification Notice, Seller must deliver a written objection (“Seller’s Objection Notice”) to Purchaser within 30 days after the delivery of the Purchaser Indemnification Notice detailing the reasons and basis for such objection. If a Seller’s Objection Notice is delivered, Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days after delivery of the Purchaser Indemnification Notice to agree upon their respective rights with respect to each of such claims. If Seller and Purchaser should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Seller and Purchaser. If such Parties do not agree, then the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.4.

(f) Third-Party Claims. Purchaser shall have the right, with the consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to settle all indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled, and reasonably to defend (without the consent of Seller) through counsel of its own choosing, at its own expense, any action which may be brought by a third party in connection therewith, provided, however, that Seller shall have the right to have Seller’s counsel participate fully in such defense at its own expense. If Seller has consented to any such settlement, Seller shall not have power or authority to object under Article 6 or any other provision of this Section 6.3(f) to the amount of any claim by Purchaser against Seller for indemnity with respect to such settlement. Purchaser and Seller shall keep each other reasonably informed of all settlement negotiations with third parties and of the progress of any litigation with third parties. Purchaser and Seller shall permit each other reasonable access to books and records and otherwise cooperate with all reasonable requests of each other in connection with any matter or claim for indemnification.

(g) For purposes of this Section 6.3, any amount covered and paid or reimbursed for under insurance policies shall be deducted in calculating the amount of any Indemnifiable Losses of Purchaser, provided that Indemnifiable Losses may nevertheless include any related deductibles that are paid or would be paid under such policies and any costs or expenses incurred in enforcing rights to obtain such payments or reimbursements under such insurance policies.

6.4 Resolution of Conflicts and Arbitration.

(a) If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between or among the Parties pursuant to Sections 6.2(c) and 6.3(e), Purchaser or Seller may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damages is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or Purchaser and Seller agree to arbitration; and in either such event

the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator. Purchaser and Seller shall agree on the arbitrator, provided that if Purchaser and Seller cannot agree on such arbitrator, either Purchaser or Seller can request that Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) select the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator shall be written, shall be in accordance with applicable law and with this Agreement, and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusion of law which shall set forth the basis for the decision of the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Indemnification Notice shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Article 6 hereof, the parties shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision.

(b) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Santa Xxxxx County, California under the applicable JAMS rules then in effect. For purposes of this Section 6.4(b), in any arbitration hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Indemnification Notice is at issue, the party seeking indemnification shall be deemed to be the Non-Prevailing Party unless the arbitrators award the party seeking indemnification more than one-half (1/2) of the amount in dispute, plus any amounts not in dispute; otherwise, the person against whom indemnification is sought shall be deemed to be the Non-Prevailing Party. The Non-Prevailing Party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of the arbitrator, any administrative fee of JAMS, and the expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the other party to the arbitration.

ARTICLE 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

7.1 Announcements. No party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party; provided, however, that after the date hereof the Purchaser may make (i) appropriate announcements to customers of the Business or (ii) any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable law.

The section headings appearing in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such Section or in any way affect such Section.
