COVENANTS
7.1. Efforts and Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable laws and regulations to timely perform and consummate the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the dates set forth herein.
7.2. Certain Filings. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith with one another (i) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any Assumed Contracts or Intellectual Property Rights, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) in taking such actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.
7.3. Public Announcements. Any public announcements or statements concerning the Transaction contemplated herein must be jointly approved by Purchaser and Seller. However, in the event the parties are unable to agree on a public statement or announcement, and Seller or Purchaser determines, after consultation with counsel, that such statement or announcement is required by law in connection with Seller’s Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case or SEC reporting requirements, then Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, may issue such statement or announcement. For avoidance of any doubt, the reference to and inclusion and terms of this Transaction in connection with a Form 8K shall not constitute a prohibited public announcement or press release.
7.4. Bankruptcy Court Approval. Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge that Seller is a debtor and debtor-in-possession in the Bankruptcy Case under the Bankruptcy Code pending in the Bankruptcy Court. Seller shall, on or before January 28, 2011, or such later date as may be agreed by Purchaser in its sole discretion, obtain entry of the Interim Order (as hereinafter defined) and shall within five (5) days after entry of the Interim Order or such later date as may be agreed by Purchaser in its sole discretion file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9013 and Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (“the Sale Motion”) seeking (i) final approval of the LOI and this Agreement and entry of an Order approving the sale of the Assets to Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens, claims, security interests, interests, and Encumbrances pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (except for the Permitted Liens, if any), and (ii) assumption and assignment of the Assumed Liabilities, the executory contracts and unexpired leases as designated by Purchaser, if any.
25
Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of the Sale Motion as soon as practicable; provided, however, if a Final Order (as hereinafter defined) of the Bankruptcy Court is not obtained on or before March 15, 2011, or such later date to which the Parties may agree, Purchaser may terminate the Transactions and Seller shall promptly return the Purchaser Deposit without offset or reduction.
This Agreement shall be subject to entry of a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court (“the Final Order” or “the Sale Order”) approving the (i) Sale Motion, (ii) this Agreement, (iii) the sale of the Assets to Purchaser free and clear of all liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances, in the form and substance approved by Purchaser, (iv) finding that the Seller and Purchaser are acting in good faith and the Transaction is in good faith for purposes of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) the assumption and assignment of the executory contracts and unexpired leases that may be designated by Purchaser; and (vi) waiving the fourteen (14) day stay under Rule 6004(g) and 6006(d) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and making such Sale Order effective and enforceable immediately. As a condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered a Final Order approving the sale in a form and substance acceptable to Purchaser, as to which no appeals or motions for rehearing are pending and as to which no stay is issued and the time for filing same has expired; provided, however, if an appeal or motion for rehearing is pending, Purchaser may waive the requirement for a Final Order and close the Transaction provided there is no stay of the effects of such Final Order. For purposes hereof, the Motion seeking entry of the Interim Order may also be the same motion as the Sale Motion, and the Interim Order and the Final Order may be contained in the same order of the Court, however, the Interim Order must be timely entered by the deadline set forth hereinabove. The term and provisions of any Plan of Reorganization (“the Plan”) filed by Seller if filed before a sale to Purchaser is final are subject to the approval of the Purchaser and must incorporate the terms and provisions in the LOI and in this Agreement. Entry of the Sale Order is a condition precedent to closing of the Transaction.
7.5. Purchaser Protection Provisions. As a condition to Purchaser’s participation in the Transactions, Seller shall provide Purchaser, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, the following Purchaser Protections (collectively, “the Purchaser Protection Provisions”):
(a) Interim Order Approving Purchaser Protection Provisions and Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent, on January 24, 2011, Seller filed an expedited motion with the Bankruptcy Court under Rule 9013 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, seeking approval, among other things, of (i) the Purchaser Protection Provisions, and (ii) the Letter of Intent. Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain as soon as reasonably practicable an Interim Order Approving Purchaser Protection Provisions, which order may be included in the order approving bid procedures and the Letter of Intent, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser (“the Interim Order”). If the Interim Order is not obtained by January 28, 2011 Purchaser may terminate the Transaction, and Seller shall promptly return the Purchaser Deposit without offset or reduction.
26
(b) Reimbursement of Purchaser’s Expenses. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has incurred and will continue to incur substantial expenses, including the fees and expenses of legal counsel and financial advisors in connection with investigating the business and operation of Seller, and negotiating and preparing various documentation, including, without limitation, the Letter of Intent, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the pleadings seeking Court approval of the sale and the closing documents (“the Reimbursable Expenses”). In recognition of such expenditures and to induce Purchaser to continue to incur such expenses, Seller shall pay Purchaser up to $50,000.00 in Reimbursable Expenses in the event (i) the Transaction is not consummated for any reason other than a material default by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if Purchaser determines not to consummate the Transaction because of the failure of a condition precedent in this Agreement. The Reimbursable Expenses shall be paid to Purchaser upon presentation to Seller of an accounting of such expenses.
(c) Termination Fee. Seller agrees that, in the event of a termination of the Transaction as a result of a material default by Seller, Seller shall, upon demand, pay to Purchaser a termination fee in the amount of $80,000.00 (“the Termination Fee”) in addition to payment to Purchaser of the Reimbursable Expenses, and Seller shall promptly return the Purchaser Deposit without offset or reduction.
(d) Break-Up Fee. In addition to payment of the Reimbursable Expenses or Termination Fee, Seller shall pay Purchaser, if Purchaser is prepared to consummate the Transaction outlined herein, $80,000.00 (“the Break-Up Fee”) in cash as compensation for the time incurred and value to Seller in the event the Assets are sold to any other entity under §363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any plan is confirmed in the Bankruptcy Case (as hereinafter defined) which does not involve Purchaser or does not provide for Purchaser to be the acquiring entity for the Assets or the Seller’s business and Seller shall promptly return the Purchaser Deposit without offset or reduction.
(e) Only Single Fee Recovery; Reservation of Equitable Rights and Remedies. In no event shall Seller be liable for both the Break-Up Fee and Termination Fee. The payment of the Reimbursable Expenses, Termination Fee, and the Break-Up Fee shall not in any way limit any of Purchaser’s equitable rights or remedies against Seller, and Purchaser reserves such rights and the right to pursue its remedies in equity against Seller or any other third party.
(f) Overbid. Subject to the terms of the Interim Order, the Bankruptcy Court shall not approve, and Seller shall not support, any transfer of the Assets, so long as Purchaser is prepared to consummate the Transaction, unless such other transaction provides a Purchase Price of at least $200,000 above the cash Purchase Price set forth herein, and includes the retention of the 50% of the accounts by Seller, and provides for payment to Purchaser of the amounts described in (b-e) above. Accordingly, the initial overbid amount shall be $1,000,000.00 plus 50% of the Accounts. Such payment owing to Purchaser described herein shall be granted administrative expense priority in Seller’s estate’
27
(g) Administrative Expense Status. The Reimbursable Expenses and Termination Fee or Break-Up Fee (as applicable) shall constitute first priority administrative expenses of Seller pursuant to §503 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be secured by a valid and enforceable senior lien on all of Seller’s assets, and shall be paid by Seller upon closing of an alternative transaction or upon entry of further order of the Bankruptcy Court directing payment of same in the event a sale is not concluded.
(h) Auction. Any auction procedures proposed by Seller shall be mutually agreeable to Purchaser, including the time and date of any auction, the required qualifications of any Qualified Bidders, and the bidding increment, with a minimum bid for the Assets as set forth in the Interim Order. For purposes of any auction, Purchaser shall automatically be deemed a qualified bidder.
7.6. Best Efforts. Seller will use its best efforts to cause the conditions in Section 4.4 to be satisfied and to ensure that all of Seller’s representations and warranties remain true and correct through the Closing Date.
7.7. Notification. Between the Effective Date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller will promptly notify Purchaser in writing if Seller becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a material breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement or the occurrence after the Effective Date of this Agreement of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a material breach of any such representation or warranty had that representation or warranty been made as of the time of the occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition. During the same period, Seller will promptly notify Purchaser of the occurrence of any material breach of any covenant of Seller in this Agreement or of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article 4 impossible or unlikely. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (i) Seller shall have the right to amend any of the Schedules relating to any representations and warranties of Seller until the close of business five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date of this Agreement; (ii) Seller shall have the right to amend Schedule 5.7(a) to the extent necessary to respond to any amendments by Purchaser to the Schedules identified in Section 7.9; (iii) Purchaser shall have the right to amend any of the Schedules contemplated by Section 7.9 within the time periods specified in Section 7.9; and (iv) Purchaser shall have the right to amend Schedule 7.10 until the close of business on the tenth (10th) day preceding the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees that Seller shall have the right to supplement any of the Schedules until one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the date of the hearing on the Sale Motion.
7.8. Name Change. Subject to applicable State and Federal laws and if feasible, within ten (10) days following the Closing, Seller shall file with the appropriate office of the state of its formation and with any other state in which it has registered to do business an amendment to Seller’s Governance Documents, and any required amendments to any registrations in other states, changing the name of Seller to a name that does not include the letters, word or the phrase “ICOP” and shall seek entry of an order changing the caption of the Bankruptcy Case to delete the word ICOP or any derivative thereof.
(a) Subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and pursuant to the Sale Order, the Assumed Contracts will be assumed by Seller and sold and assigned to Purchaser free and clear of all Encumbrances (except for the Assumed Liabilities) on the Closing Date under Sections 363(f), 365(a) and 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any Contracts which could reasonably be expected to be an Assumed Contract or a Restricted Contract entered into by Seller between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date. Until the Closing Date, Purchaser shall update any applicable Schedules reflecting any additional Contracts that should be removed or identified thereon as Assumed Contracts or Excluded Contracts, as the case may be.
(b) Up to March 4, 2011, if Purchaser or Seller discovers a Contract relating primarily to the Assets which Purchaser in good faith believes should have been treated as an Assumed Contract hereunder and for which Purchaser had not been given reasonable opportunity prior to Closing to review and include such Contract as an Assumed Contract and if such Contract has not been otherwise assigned to a third party after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall take such action and execute such agreements as may be appropriate to effect Purchaser’s assumption and Seller’s assignment of such Contract and the Schedules, as applicable, shall be updated to reflect the addition of such Contract.
7.10. Back-up Data and Software. Unless an Excluded Asset and limited solely to the Assets purchased by Purchaser, Seller shall make back-up copies of all contents, information and data used in or related to the Assets, including without limitation, all computer software, source code, production processes and techniques, technical and engineering data, designs, drawings, specifications, customer and supplier lists, pricing and cost information, business and marketing plans and proposals, artwork and graphics that are located on any server or computer identified by Purchaser and listed on Schedule 7.10 owned or utilized by Seller. Seller shall make such back up copies no later than seven (7) Business Days prior to Closing, provided that Seller shall make such back up copies with respect to the computers listed on Schedule 7.10 within seven (7) days of Purchaser’s final identification of such computers in accordance with this Section 7.10. Seller shall deliver such back-up copies to Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date.
7.11. Assets Insured. All Assets shall be insured through the Closing Date as in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement.
7.12. Seller’s Employees. Prior to the Closing, Seller agrees to cooperate and assist with the introduction of current or former employees of Seller, the substantial portion of whose time and services may relate to the Assets or Business. Seller shall provide Purchaser a list of all such employees of Seller, specifying, in reasonable detail, the names, titles, salary, benefits of such employees and such other information reasonably requested by Purchaser. Nothing herein shall obligate Purchaser to employ any of such employees and, to the extent Purchaser seeks to employ such individuals, if any, Purchaser shall not assume any responsibility for payroll, compensation, commission or any pension or retirement obligations or any vacation obligations accumulated or earned prior to the Closing Date. To the knowledge of Seller, Seller has no agreement with any employee that would preclude such employee from accepting employment with Purchaser.
29
7.13. Access for Inspections and Due Diligence. Seller will, until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, provide Purchaser with access, during regular business hours and upon prior notice, to the Assets, Seller’s Premises, and all information and documentation in Seller’s possession related to the Assets reasonably requested by Purchaser or Purchaser’s counsel for inspections and due diligence purposes (“the Inspection Period”). For purposes hereof, “Inspection Period” shall mean the period from the date of Letter of Intent through and including the later of (i) the thirtieth (30th) day after execution of the Letter of Intent, or (ii) twenty (20) days after entry of the Interim Order in the Bankruptcy Case.

All officers, directors, managers and employees of Seller shall cooperate fully in respect of the Due Diligence Review. Seller shall provide Purchaser with all financial and other information reasonably requested by it. Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time during the Inspection Period and shall receive a full refund of the Purchaser Deposit.
(a) Seller acknowledges and agrees that it (i) will receive a significant financial benefit from the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) that the nature of the activities restricted and the duration and scope of such restrictions, all as set forth in Sections b, c and d hereof, are reasonable in view of the nature of the Business and the Assets being sold (as defined in the Agreement) and the Purchaser’s need to protect the goodwill of the Business and the Assets and, (iii) represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the enforcement against Seller of the restrictions contained in Sections b, c, and d hereof would not be unduly burdensome on Seller, and (iv) that the restrictions contained in Sections b, c, and d are necessary in order to induce the Purchaser to consummate the Transaction, and (v) that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.14, the aggrieved Party shall suffer irreparable harm and shall therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of Section b, c and d hereof without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, as well as to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity.
(b) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates, other than as independent contractor or consultant of the Purchaser or Safety Vision, LLC, will, directly or indirectly engage in, own, manage, consult with, operate, join, control, participate in, or finance the ownership, management, operation, or control of, or be connected in any manner with or in any activity that in any manner competes with, directly or indirectly, or is substantially similar to the Business within the Prohibited Territory.

Solicit the business of or do business with, or endeavor on its own behalf or on behalf of any individual or entity to do business with, any person who is a customer of Seller on the date hereof or on the Closing Date with respect to the products or services provided by Seller as of the Closing Date or within the previous two (2) years preceding the closing Date;
|
(2)
|
Encourage, induce, or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, employee, consultant, or other business relation of Seller on the Closing Date or within the year preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business with Seller; or

Article 8
TERMINATION
8.1 Termination. Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, if the Closing has not occurred on or before March 31, 2011, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement on written notice to Seller.

In addition, subject to Section 8.2, this Agreement may be terminated:
(a) by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;
(b) by Purchaser upon written notice given before or at the Closing if Seller has committed a material breach of any provision of this Agreement and Purchaser has not waived such breach; provided, however, that prior to terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), Purchaser will notify Seller of such breach and give Seller five (5) days to cure such breach;
(c) by Seller upon written notice given before or at the Closing if Purchaser has committed a material breach of any provision of this Agreement and Seller has not waived such breach; provided, however, that prior to terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c), Seller will notify Purchaser of such breach and give Purchaser five (5) days to cure such breach;
(d) by Purchaser upon written notice given before or at the Closing if it is or becomes impossible to satisfy any condition in Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 7.4, 7.5 and 7.13 (other than through Purchaser’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and Purchaser has not waived such condition;
(e) by Purchaser upon written notice, given no later than the day immediately before the hearing with respect to the Sale Order, if the results of Purchaser’s due diligence investigations during the Inspection Period (as set forth in 7.13) are not satisfactory to Purchaser, in its sole discretion; and
31
(f) By Seller or Purchaser, if the Bankruptcy Court approves a competitive bid or proposal to purchase the Assets or any part thereof from a third party (other than Purchaser), which proposal has a value greater than the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities and the Break-Up Fee, Termination Fee and Reimbursable Expenses, and is accompanied by satisfactory evidence of committed financing or other ability to perform.
8.2 Effect of Termination. Each party’s right of termination under Section 8.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of such right of termination will not be an election of remedies except as set forth in Section 3.1 (c). If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, then all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 3.1 (c) and 7.5 will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the breach of the Agreement by another party the terminating party’s right to pursue all legal and equitable remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.
