AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION
This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (this “
Agreement”) is made and entered
into as of June 18, 2010, by and among
TrustWave Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation
(“
Purchaser”), TrustWave Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Purchaser (“
Merger Sub”), Breach Security, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“
Target”), SRBA #5, L.P.
(“
SRBA”), Evergreen Partners US Direct Fund III, L.P. (“
Fund III”), Evergreen Partners Direct Fund
III (Israel) L.P. (“
Evergreen”) and Evergreen Partners Direct Fund III (Israel 1) L.P. (“
Evergreen
1” and, together with SRBA, Fund III and Evergreen, the “
Sellers”). Capitalized terms used in this
Agreement are referenced in the attached
Exhibit A.
RECITALS
A. Target owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Breach Security LTD, an
Israel corporation (“BSI”), and Breach Security (UK) LTD, a United Kingdom corporation (“BSUK” and,
together with Target and BSI, individually a “Company” and, collectively, the “Companies”).
B. The Companies are engaged in the business of providing its customers web application
integrity, security and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance products and services (as conducted
during the six months ending on the date hereof, the “Business”).
C. The stockholders of Target listed on the attached Schedule A (individually a
“Stockholder” and collectively, the “Stockholders”), in the aggregate, own all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Target.
D. The Sellers own, in the aggregate, over ninety-four percent (94%) of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Target, on a fully-diluted basis, and one hundred percent (100%) of
the Target Preferred Stock, in each case as of the date hereof.
E. The Boards of Directors of Target and Purchaser believe it is in the best interests of
their respective companies and the stockholders of their respective companies that Purchaser

Delaware General Corporation Law (the “
Delaware Law”), and that Target, Merger Sub, Purchaser and
Sellers enter into this Agreement and consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
hereby on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for in this Agreement.
F. Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Target Preferred Stock shall be converted into shares of the Class A Voting Common Stock, $0.0001
par value, of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Common Stock”), as set forth herein.
G. Target, Merger Sub, Purchaser and Sellers desire to make certain representations and
warranties and other agreements in connection with the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and representations set forth herein, and
for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
THE MERGER
1.1.
The Merger. At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger attached hereto as
Exhibit B (the
“
Certificate of Merger”), and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Delaware Law,
Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Target, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub
shall cease and Target shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Purchaser. Target as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes
referred to as the “
Surviving Corporation.”
1.2.
Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be
as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the
Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the
Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target shall vest in
the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Target shall become the debts,
liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
1.3. Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.
(a) At the Effective Time, Target shall amend its Certificate of Incorporation so as to
be in the form attached to the Certificate of Merger and, as so amended, such certificate of
incorporation shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until
thereafter amended as provided by
Delaware Law and such certificate of incorporation.
(b) At the Effective Time, the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter
amended.
1.4. Directors and Officers. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until
their successors are elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier resignation or
removal. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial
officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of
incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
1.5. Effect on Capital Stock. By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of Purchaser, Merger Sub, Target, Sellers or the holders of any of the following securities:
(a) Conversion of Target Preferred Stock. At the Effective Time, all of the
shares of Target Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time will be canceled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to
receive, in the aggregate, the Base Number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock
- 2 -
(the “Merger Payment”). The Merger Payment shall be allocated among Sellers such that
each Seller receives his, her or its Pro-Rata Percentage of the Merger Payment.
(i) The “Base Number” shall be 247,288.
(ii) The “Pro-Rata Percentage” for each Seller shall be the percentage set
forth to the right of such Seller’s name under the column labeled Pro-Rata
Percentage on the attached Schedule 1.5(a).
(b) Cancellation of Target Common Stock. At the Effective Time, all shares of
Target Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time,
including those owned by Target as treasury stock, shall be canceled and extinguished
without any conversion thereof and without payment of any consideration therefor. Promptly
following the Effective Time, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation shall request that each
Stockholder deliver to Purchaser the certificate or certificates which immediately prior to
the Effective Time represented all of the outstanding shares of Target Common Stock owned by
such Stockholder, together in each case with a duly completed and validly executed stock
power, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Stock Power”).
(c) Target Stock Option Plan. Immediately after the Effective Time, all
options to purchase Target Capital Stock then outstanding under the Target Stock Option Plan
shall be cancelled in accordance with Section 1.11.
(d) Target Warrants. At the Effective Time, all warrants to purchase Target
Capital Stock then outstanding shall be cancelled in accordance with Section 1.12.
(e) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share
of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving
Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall
constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(f) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, no fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock will be issued
and all issuances of Purchaser Common Stock will be rounded down to the nearest whole number
of shares of Purchaser Common Stock.
1.6. Exchange Procedures.
(a) Surrender of Target Preferred Stock. No later than the Effective
Time, each Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a duly completed and validly executed
letter of transmittal, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (each, a
“Letter of Transmittal”), together with the certificate or certificates (the
“Preferred Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented
all of the outstanding shares of Target Preferred Stock owned by such Seller
(subject to Section 1.8) and a duly completed and validly executed Stock
- 3 -
Power with respect to such shares. Until so surrendered, each outstanding
Preferred Certificate will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all
corporate purposes, to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of
Purchaser Common Stock into which the shares of Target Preferred Stock evidenced
thereby shall have been so converted in accordance with Section 1.5.
(b) Delivery of Merger Consideration. No later than ten (10) Business
Days after the receipt by Purchaser of the last item delivered pursuant to Item 1 on
Schedule 3.2, Purchaser shall deliver to each Seller, in exchange for the
Target Preferred Stock surrendered by such Seller, a certificate representing the
number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the Base Number multiplied
by the Pro-Rata Percentage for each such Seller.
(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Target Preferred Stock.
No dividends or other distributions with respect to Purchaser Common Stock with a
record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered
Target Preferred Stock with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock
represented thereby until the holder of record of such Target Preferred Stock shall
surrender such Target Preferred Stock. Subject to applicable Rules, following
surrender of any such Target Preferred Stock, there shall be paid to the record
holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock
issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the
amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time theretofore payable (but for the provisions of this Section 1.6(c))
with respect to such shares of Purchaser Common Stock.
(d) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of Purchaser
Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Preferred
Certificate(s) surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a
condition of the issuance thereof that the Preferred Certificate(s) so surrendered
will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the
person requesting such exchange will have paid to Purchaser or any agent designated
by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a
certificate for shares of Purchaser Common Stock in any name other than that of the
registered holder of the Preferred Certificate(s) surrendered, or established to the
reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser or any agent designated by it that such Tax has
been paid or is not payable.
(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 1.6, none of the Surviving Corporation, Purchaser or any party hereto shall
be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a Governmental Authority
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Rule.
1.7. No Further Ownership Rights in Target Preferred Stock. All shares of Purchaser
Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Target Preferred Stock in accordance with
the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining
to such Target Preferred Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers

on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Target Preferred Stock which were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, shares of Target Preferred
Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and
exchanged as provided in this Article I.
1.8. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Preferred Certificates. In the event any Preferred
Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Purchaser shall issue in exchange for such
lost, stolen or destroyed Preferred Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by
the holder thereof, such shares of Purchaser Common Stock as may be required pursuant to Section
1.5; provided, however, that Purchaser may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the
issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Preferred Certificate to
deliver to Purchaser a lost certificate affidavit, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Purchaser, which includes an indemnity against any Claim that may be made against Purchaser or the
Surviving Corporation with respect to the Preferred Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen
or destroyed.
1.9. Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties hereto
hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g)
and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations.
1.10. Withholding Rights. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the
number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock otherwise deliverable under this Agreement, such amounts
as Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such delivery and payment under the
Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Tax Rule. To the extent that amounts
are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been delivered and paid to each Seller in respect of which such deduction and withholding
was made by Purchaser. To the extent Purchaser determines that withholding would otherwise be
required with respect to certain amounts of the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock,
Purchaser shall provide reasonable advance notification to Sellers of such potential withholding
and Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with withholding certificates or
other required certifications that would permit such withholding to be reduced or eliminated.
1.11. Target Stock Options. Immediately after the Effective Time, each outstanding
option to purchase shares of Target Common Stock under the Target Stock Option Plan, whether vested
or unvested, will be cancelled. At or prior to the Closing, Target shall take all actions required
to cancel each outstanding option to purchase shares of Target Capital Stock under the Target Stock
Option Plan effective immediately after the Effective Time. Within the later of (a) 60 calendar
days after the Effective Time, and (b) 10 calendar days after Purchaser’s Board of Directors adopts
an independent, third party valuation of Purchaser Common Stock as of the Closing Date, but in any
event as soon as reasonably practicable, Purchaser will issue options to purchase Purchaser Common
Stock under the Purchaser Stock Option Plan to those of the Covered Employees and the Israeli
Employees, on such terms, as is set forth on the attached Schedule 1.11. At or prior to
the Effective Time, Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future
issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as
any of
- 5 -
the issued options remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock
for delivery upon the exercise of such options.
1.12. Target Warrants. At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase
shares of Target Capital Stock, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled. At or prior to the
Closing, Target shall take all actions required to cancel each outstanding warrant to purchase
shares of Target Capital Stock effective prior to the closing of the Merger or the transactions
contemplated hereby.
1.13.
Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, shares of
Target Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a
Stockholder who is entitled to and has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights pursuant
to Section 262 of the
Delaware Law (collectively, the “
Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted
as of the Effective Time into the right to receive any of the Merger Consideration, if applicable,
but instead shall have such rights as may be available under the
Delaware Law. At the Effective
Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and each holder
of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to
receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware
Law;
provided,
however, that if any such Stockholder shall have failed to perfect
or shall effectively withdraw or lose its right to appraisal and payment under the Delaware Law, or
a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief
provided by Section 262, such Stockholder’s shares of Target Capital Stock shall thereupon be
deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable
portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5, if any, and such shares of Target
Capital Stock shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. Target shall give Purchaser prompt notice
identifying those Stockholders who did not vote in favor of the Merger or consent thereto in
writing. Promptly following Stockholder approval of the Merger, Purchaser shall prepare and
deliver to the Stockholders all written notices required to be delivered in accordance with
Sections 228, 251 and 262 of the Delaware Law, in forms reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Prior
to the Effective Time, (i) Target shall have the right to control the negotiations, proceedings and
any settlement of any such demands, (ii) Target shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any demands
received by Target for appraisal of shares of Target Capital Stock and (iii) Purchaser shall have
the right to participate in all negotiations, proceedings and settlements with respect to such
demands. On and after the Effective Time, (a) Purchaser shall give the Agent prompt notice of any
demands for appraisal received by the Surviving Corporation, (b) so long as (I) the Agent can
demonstrate that it has sufficient amounts which may be used in connection with such demand for
appraisal to (A) defend such demand for appraisal, and (B) defend all other demands for appraisal
then pending which the Agent is defending pursuant to this Section 1.13 and defend all Third Party
Claims then pending which the Agent is defending pursuant to Section 8.8, and (II) the Agent has
acknowledged in writing to Purchaser the Sellers’ unconditional obligation to indemnify Purchaser
for such demand for appraisal, subject to the limitations set forth in Article VIII, the Agent
shall have the right to control the negotiations, proceedings and any settlement of any such
demands for appraisal; provided that the Agent shall not settle or compromise any such demand for
appraisal without the prior written consent of Purchaser if pursuant to or as a result of such
settlement, such settlement would lead to Liability or create any financial or other obligation on
the part of any Purchaser Protected Party for which such Purchaser Protected Party is not entitled
to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.3 and (c)
- 6 -
Purchaser shall have the right (for purposes of clarification, at Purchaser’s expense) to
participate in all negotiations, proceedings and settlements with respect to such demands.
1.14. Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective
Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and
to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property,
rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target, the officers and directors of Target and
Purchaser are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take,
and will take, all such lawful and necessary action (at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser
except to the extent that such action is required as a result of a breach of a representation and
warranty or covenant of a Seller or, prior to the Closing, any Company, which for purposes of
clarity shall be handled pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII hereof), so long as such action
is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
1.15. The Agent.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement and all actions and decisions to be made by the
Agent pursuant to this Agreement, SRBA (the “Agent”), shall be the representative and agent
of Sellers to act on their behalf, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to
rely exclusively on the acts and omissions of the Agent with respect to actions to be taken
by, or inferences from omissions of, any Seller. Sellers may (or if SRBA should at any time
choose not to serve, or be unable to serve, as the Agent, shall), at any time and from time
to time, by written notice delivered to Purchaser executed by Sellers who held Target Series
B Preferred Stock representing, in the aggregate, at least a majority of the Total
Consideration Pro-Rata Percentages immediately prior to the Closing, appoint a replacement
Agent; provided, however, that such new person shall not be deemed the Agent for purposes of
this Agreement until Purchaser has received such written notice. The Agent shall act at the
direction of Sellers who held Target Series B Preferred Stock representing, in the
aggregate, at least a majority of the Total Consideration Pro-Rata Percentages held by all
of the Sellers who held Target Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Closing.
(b) Sellers hereby irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint SRBA as the agent and
true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Sellers, with full power of substitution and authority
to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify, file and record on behalf of Sellers and Target
(in the name of any or all of the Stockholders, Sellers or otherwise) any and all documents
that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in such forms and
containing such provisions as the Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be
appropriate (including any amendment to or waiver of rights under this Agreement or any
agreement or document contemplated herein or therein). Sellers recognize and intend that
the power of attorney granted in Section 1.15(a): (i) is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by the Agent; and (iii) shall survive any dissolution of
any Seller.
(c) The Agent shall not be responsible for, and the Sellers shall indemnify the Agent
(in proportion to their respective Total Consideration Pro-Rata Percentages) against, any
loss suffered by, or Liability of any kind to, Sellers arising out of any act
- 7 -
done or omitted by the Agent in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
Agent’s duties hereunder, unless such act or omission involves gross negligence or willful
misconduct. All reasonable expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the
performance of its duties as the Agent shall be borne and paid by Sellers (in proportion to
their respective Total Consideration Pro-Rata Percentages) and the Agent shall be
indemnified by the Sellers (in proportion to their respective Total Consideration Pro-Rata
Percentages) against any such expenses.
1.16. Transfer Restrictions. In addition to any restrictions contained in the
Purchaser Stockholder Agreement, without the prior written consent of Purchaser:
(a) during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first to occur
of (i) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the six (6) month
anniversary of the consummation of a Purchaser Capital Transaction, and (iii) the six (6)
month anniversary of the consummation of a Change of Control, no Seller may sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (a “Transfer”), by operation of law or
otherwise, to any Person the shares of Purchaser Common Stock owned or held by such Seller;
provided that the prohibitions contained in this Section 1.16(a) shall not apply to (1)
Permitted Transfers, so long as the transferee assumes all of the obligations of the
transferring Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including the obligations pursuant to
Article VIII and this Section 1.16, and (2) any shares of Purchaser Common Stock owned or
held by such Seller so long as immediately following such transfer Seller retains its Total
Consideration Pro-Rata Percentage of $5,000,000 in Purchaser Common Stock (valued as of the
Closing Date as determined by the valuation contemplated by Section 1.11); and
(b) during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the consummation of
a Purchaser Capital Transaction, no Seller may Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise,
to any Person any of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock owned or held by such Seller if,
as a result of such Transfer, the shares of Purchaser Common Stock which constitute the
Merger Consideration are held of record by more than fifteen (15) Persons in the aggregate;
provided, however that, as among the Sellers, the restriction contained in this Section
1.16(b) shall prohibit a Seller from making a Transfer of shares of Purchaser Common Stock
to any Person if, as a result of such Transfer, the shares of Purchaser Common Stock which
constitute the Merger Consideration are held of record by more than such Seller’s Total
Consideration Pro-Rata Percentage of fifteen (15) Persons in the aggregate, as set forth on
Schedule 1.16. Purchaser shall respond in a reasonably prompt manner to any request
by any Seller to confirm the then number of record holders of the shares of Purchaser Common
Stock which constitute the Merger Consideration. Prior to any Seller requesting any
Transfers of Purchaser Common Stock made in compliance with this Section 1.16, such Seller
shall provide the Agent with written notice of such intended Transfer.
1.17. Put Right.
(a) Purchaser hereby grants to each Seller the following option to sell all or any
portion of such Seller’s Stockholder Securities, free and clear of all Liens, to
- 8 -
Purchaser (the “Put Option”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
“Stockholder Securities” means, with respect to each Seller, the shares of Purchaser Common
Stock acquired by such Seller as part of the Merger Consideration (including any other
securities of Purchaser into which such Purchaser Common Stock is converted or for which it
is otherwise exchanged). Such securities shall continue to be Stockholder Securities in the
hands of any holder, and except as otherwise provided herein, each such other holder of
Stockholder Securities shall succeed to all rights and obligations attributable to the
transferring Seller as a holder of Stockholder Securities hereunder. The Put Option shall
terminate upon the consummation of a Purchaser Capital Transaction.
(b) The Put Option shall be exercised by the holder or holders of the Stockholder
Securities by providing written notice to Purchaser (each such notice, an “Exercise
Notice”), at any time during the ninety (90) day period commencing on the third anniversary
of the Closing Date. Each Exercise Notice shall include the number of shares of Stockholder
Securities as to which each such holder is exercising the Put Option.
(c) The purchase price for each share of Stockholder Securities as to which the Put
Option is exercised (the “Option Price”) shall be equal to $1.00 (as adjusted for any stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like, with respect to such Purchaser
Common Stock) plus interest on such amount at a rate equal to 8% per annum, compounded
annually, from the Closing Date through the Option Closing.
(d) The closing with respect to the exercise of the Put Option (the “Option Closing”)
shall take place at the offices of Purchaser, on the 20th day following the delivery of the
applicable Exercise Notice (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by such holder or holders
and Purchaser) in accordance with the terms hereof. At the Option Closing, the holder of
each share of Stockholder Securities as to which the Put Option has been exercised shall
deliver to Purchaser or its designees stock certificates representing the Stockholder
Securities being purchased (or a lost certificate affidavit reasonably acceptable to
Purchaser), free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens set forth in Purchaser’s
certificate of incorporation, bylaws or the Purchaser Investor Rights Agreement or Purchaser
Stockholder Agreement, each as then in effect) and duly endorsed in blank for transfer or
accompanied by appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, with all taxes, direct or
indirect if any, attributable to the transfer of the Stockholder Securities paid or provided
for by such holder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.17, all
repurchases of Stockholder Securities by Purchaser pursuant to the Put Option shall be
subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware Law. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 1.17, Sellers hereby further agree for the benefit
of the holders of any Indebtedness for Borrowed Funds incurred by Purchaser (each such
holder being hereinafter referred to as a “Lender”) that all repurchases of Stockholder
Securities by Purchaser pursuant to the Put Option shall be subject to applicable
restrictions contained in the Delaware Law and any debt financing agreements entered into
between Purchaser and any Lender. If any such restrictions prohibit the
- 9 -
repurchase of Stockholder Securities pursuant to the Put Option which Purchaser is
otherwise required to make, Purchaser shall make such repurchases or payments as soon as it
is permitted to do so under such restrictions (such time from the date of the Exercise
Notice to the date that Purchaser is so permitted to purchase the Stockholder Securities
shall be deemed the “Default Period”); provided, however, if Purchaser is so prohibited by
such restrictions from complying with its obligations under this Section 1.17 at the time of
the exercise of the Put Option, then the Option Price for any Stockholder Securities which
were not able to be purchased by Purchaser because of such restrictions shall be equal to
$1.00 (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like,
with respect to such Purchaser Common Stock) plus interest on such amount at a rate equal to
8% per annum, compounded annually, from the Closing Date through the date of the Option
Closing; provided, however, the interest payable during the Default Period shall be twelve
percent (12%) per annum, compounded annually.
1.18. Repayment of Debt. As additional consideration for the Merger, Purchaser shall,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, issue to each of the Sellers the number of shares of
Purchaser Common Stock set forth next to each such creditor’s name on Schedule 1.18
(collectively, the “Debt Repayment Shares” and, together with the Merger Payment, the “Merger
Consideration”), in each case as payment in full in of the obligations of Target pursuant to the
Convertible Promissory Notes.
ARTICLE II.
CLOSING NET ASSET POSITION.
2.1. Closing Net Asset Position Reconciliation. No later than three (3) Business Days
prior to the Closing, Target will deliver to Purchaser a preliminary balance sheet, reflecting
Target’s good faith estimate of the Closing Net Asset Position of the Companies, on a consolidated
basis, as of the Closing Date (“Preliminary Balance Sheet”). On the date (the “True-Up Date”)
which is the fifteenth day following the date on which Purchaser and the Agent have either agreed
to the Closing Net Asset Position or completed the dispute resolution procedure described in
Section 2.2 below, (a) if the Closing Net Asset Position is less than $9,982,078, then each Seller
shall be obligated to deliver to Purchaser an amount of cash equal to such Seller’s Total
Consideration Pro-Rata Percentage of such deficit, and (b) if the Closing Net Asset Position is
more than $9,982,078, then Purchaser shall deliver to each Seller an amount of cash equal to such
Seller’s Total Consideration Pro-Rata Percentage of such excess.
2.2. Closing Date Balance Sheet.
(a) As soon as reasonably practical after the Closing (but in any event no later than
120 calendar days after the Closing), Purchaser, at its cost and expense, shall prepare and
close the financial books and records of the Companies as of the close of business, Chicago
time, on the Closing Date, and, based on such books and records, shall prepare and deliver,
or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Agent, a balance sheet, dated as of the
effective date of the Closing (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”). The Closing Date Balance
Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied in accordance with past practices of the Companies
(except for the absence of footnotes), and shall present fairly
- 10 -
the financial condition of the Companies, on a consolidated basis, as of the close of
business, Chicago time, on the Closing Date, except that the Closing Date Balance Sheet
shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set forth on the attached Schedule
2.2(a).
(b) Purchaser shall deliver to the Agent the Closing Date Balance Sheet and include
therein Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Position. If the Agent objects to
the Closing Date Balance Sheet, including the Closing Net Asset Position calculation,
provided to it by Purchaser, then within 30 calendar days of its receipt of the Closing Date
Balance Sheet, the Agent shall give written notice in reasonable detail (the “Notice”) of
its objections to Purchaser. During such 30-day period, Purchaser and Purchaser’s
accountants shall give the Agent and its accountants access, upon reasonable notice and
during normal business hours, to all books, records and work papers of the Companies,
Purchaser and its accountants related to the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet
and calculation of the Closing Net Asset Position. If Purchaser has not received the Notice
within such 30-day period, Sellers shall be deemed to have no objection to the Closing Date
Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Balance Sheet shall become final and binding on the
parties hereto for all purposes of this Agreement. The parties shall negotiate in good
faith to resolve any disputes as promptly as practicable. If the parties are unable to
resolve all disputes within twenty calendar days of receipt by Purchaser of the Notice, then
only the unresolved disputes shall be submitted to the Chicago office of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, LLP
or, if that firm declines such engagement or if Purchaser, Target, Sellers or the Agent has
(or, within the past two years, had) any material engagement with Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, LLP,
another independent certified public accounting firm mutually agreed to by the parties, in
each case utilizing partners that have not represented and have no relationship with either
party (the “Independent Accountant”). The parties shall be entitled to provide the
Independent Accountant with supporting documentation in connection with resolution of such
disputes. The Independent Accountant shall, within 30 calendar days of its engagement,
provide a final and conclusive resolution of all unresolved disputes and shall conform the
Closing Date Balance Sheet, including the Closing Net Asset Position, accordingly. All
references in this Agreement to the Closing Date Balance Sheet shall mean the Closing Date
Balance Sheet as modified pursuant to this resolution procedure, and the resolution of the
Independent Accountant shall be binding on the parties hereto, except that the foregoing
shall not limit or prohibit a party from asserting a Claim and obtaining relief on account
of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement. If the
Closing Net Asset Position determined by the Independent Accountant exceeds the Closing Net
Asset Position set forth on the Closing Date Balance Sheet delivered to Agent by Purchaser
by more than fifteen percent (15%), then the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant
shall be borne by Purchaser, and if the Closing Net Asset Position determined by the
Independent Accountant does not exceed the Closing Net Asset Position set forth on the
Closing Date Balance Sheet delivered to Agent by Purchaser by more than fifteen percent
(15%), then the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Sellers
(based on each Seller’s Total Consideration Pro-Rata Percentage of such fees and expenses).
- 11 -
2.3. Closing Net Asset Position. As used herein, the term “Closing Net Asset
Position” shall mean the amount by which the current assets of the Companies exceed the total
liabilities of the Companies (excluding deferred revenues), in each case on a consolidated basis as
reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet.
ARTICLE III.

Target and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Target enforceable against
Target in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy and
other similar laws and general principles of equity.
4.3. Absence of Conflicts. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.3, the execution

ordinary manner, consistent with past practices. The minute books of the Companies contain
accurate and complete records of all material actions taken by the stockholders, board of directors

4.5. Financial Statements. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.5, Target has
delivered to Purchaser accurate and complete (i) copies of the audited consolidated and
consolidating balance sheets of the Companies as of the last day of each of the two fiscal years of
the Companies for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, together with the
related consolidated and consolidating statements of income, stockholders’ equity and changes in
cash flow for such fiscal years, and the notes thereto, in each case accompanied by the unqualified
opinion thereon of Target’s independent public accountants (“Historical Statements”), and (ii)
copies of the unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Companies as of
December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 (the balance sheet of the Companies as of March 31, 2010 being
referred to as the “Balance Sheet”), together with the related unaudited consolidated and
consolidating statements of income, stockholders’ equity and changes in cash flow for the 12-month
or 3-month period, as applicable, ended on such dates (“Interim Statements” and, together with the
Historical Statements, the “Financial Statements”). Except as set forth in Schedule 4.5,
the Financial Statements, including the notes to the Historical Statements, (a) were prepared in
accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of the Interim Statements, for immaterial year-end and
audit adjustments and the absence of notes thereto), (b) present fairly the consolidated and
consolidating financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows of the Companies
as of such dates and for the periods then ended, and (c) can be reconciled with the financial

services delivered or rendered, subject to no defenses, offsets or counterclaims, except for the
reserves related thereto reflected on the Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP (the “Reserves”),
and (c) subject to the Reserves, are collectible and will be collected in the ordinary course. All
Accounts Receivables arose in the ordinary course of business and none of the obligors of such
receivables have refused or given written or, to Target’s knowledge, oral notice that they refuse
to pay the full amount thereof. No receivables are subject to prior assignment, claim or other
Lien (other than Permitted Liens). No Company has any Liability for any refunds, allowances,
returns or discounts in respect of products or services manufactured, processed, distributed,
shipped, rendered, provided or sold by it or for its account, in each case except to the extent of
the Reserves. Where receivables arose out of secured transactions, all financing statements and
other instruments required to be filed or recorded to perfect the title or security
- 16 -
interest of the applicable Company have been properly filed and recorded. After the Closing
Date, neither the Surviving Corporation, BSI nor BSUK will have any obligation (whether in
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or otherwise) to repay any receivables collected by any
Company prior to the Closing Date or, to Target’s knowledge, any receivables reflected on the
Closing Date Balance Sheet which the Surviving Corporation, BSI or BSUK collects after the Closing
Date.

respect to Taxes upon any of the Company Assets (except for Taxes not yet due).

transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(1) that is, was

years has contained a disclosure statement under Section 6662 of the Code (or any similar
provision of law), and no Tax Return has been filed by or on behalf of Target with respect
to which the preparer of such Tax Return advised consideration of inclusion of such a
disclosure, which disclosure was not made.
(r) Any and all transactions and dealings between or among any of the Companies and any
other Persons directly or indirectly related to the Companies have at all times occurred on
arm’s-length terms, as if between and among unrelated parties. Each of the Companies has at
all times fully complied with any and all Tax-related requirements that the arm’s-length
nature of the terms of such transactions and dealings be documented.

representation as to the amounts or possible limitations on the use of its tax attributes to
offset income or taxes arising in any periods after the Effective Time as a result of

set forth in Schedule 4.10, all of which Liens, except for Permitted Liens, shall be fully
released at or prior to Closing. None of the directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates
of any Company owns any of the Company Assets. Other than property subject to the Personal
Property Leases and the Real Property Leases, no Company holds or uses any asset or property in
connection with the Business which is not owned by such Company. Schedule 4.10 sets forth
an accurate and complete list of all tangible personal property (other than Inventory) with a book

which is used in the operations of the Business.
4.11. Contracts; Defaults. Schedule 4.11 contains an accurate and complete

(b) those Contracts or groups of related Contracts with the same party which involve aggregate
payments to or expenditures by the Companies of less than $10,000 and can be terminated by any

substantially in the form of the standard agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A to Schedule
4.11 which involve aggregate payments to the Companies of less than $30,000. Schedule
4.11 further sets forth all such contracts and agreements which would be required to be
disclosed in
- 21 -
Schedule 4.11 if they had been executed prior to the Closing Date currently in
negotiation or proposed by any Company. Each Contract is a valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of one of the Companies and, to Target’s knowledge, the other party or parties thereto
and each Contract is in full force and effect, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy and other similar laws and general principles of equity. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.11, no Company, nor, to Target’s knowledge, any other party thereto, is in
default under any Contract and, to Target’s knowledge, there has not occurred any event that with
the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute such an event of default
thereunder.
4.12. Compliance With Laws. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.12, each
Company (a) has been during the past three (3) years and is in compliance with all federal, state,
municipal, foreign and other laws, regulations, orders and other legal requirements applicable
thereto (collectively, “Rules”) and, to Target’s knowledge, no condition exists which, with or
without notice or passage of time or both, shall cause it not to remain in such compliance; and (b)

reason to believe that any notification could be forthcoming from any Governmental Authority: (i)
asserting that such Company is not in compliance with any Rule; (ii) threatening to revoke any
License; or (iii) notifying such Company of any investigation or product recall by any such
Governmental Authority. No Company is subject to any agreement or written understanding with any
Governmental Authority with respect to the Company Assets or the Business.
4.13. Real Property. No Company owns any real property. Schedule 4.13 sets
forth an accurate and complete list of all real property leased or subleased by any Company (the
“Leased Real Property”), including identification of the lease or sublease to which any Company is
a party or by which any of its interests in real property is bound (the “Real Property Leases”).
No Company has any Liability with respect to any Real Property Lease except as expressly set forth
therein. One of the Companies is in peaceable possession of each parcel of the Leased Real
Property. None of such Leased Real Property is subject to any easements, rights of way, licenses,
grants, building or use restrictions, exceptions, reservations, limitations or other impediments
which materially and adversely affect the value to the Companies of the leasehold interest therein
or which materially interfere with or impair the present and continued use thereof in the usual and
normal conduct of the Business. To Target’s knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule
4.13, none of the Leased Real Property is subject to any mortgage, deed of trust or other Lien
(except the Lien of current Taxes not yet due and payable) which could, by foreclosure, enforcement
or deed-in-lieu transfer, terminate or otherwise adversely affect any of the Real Property Leases.
The Leased Real Property is subject to no leases or tenancies (including ground leases and other
underlying leases) except the Real Property Leases. Neither the whole nor any portion of any
Leased Real Property has been condemned, requisitioned or otherwise taken by any public authority,
no notice of any such condemnation, requisition or taking has been received and, to the knowledge
of Target, no such condemnation, requisition or taking the Leased Real Property is threatened. To
Target’s knowledge, there are no public improvements pending or threatened which may result in
special assessments against or otherwise affecting the Leased Real Property.
4.14. Condition of Properties. The tangible Company Assets are in good operating
condition, normal wear and tear excepted, and are fit for their intended purpose. To Target’s
knowledge, there are no structural or other material physical defects or deficiencies in the
- 22 -
condition of any Leased Real Property or improvements thereon. The buildings, structures and
improvements comprising the Leased Real Property are in good condition (subject to normal wear and
tear), and as such are adequate to conduct the Business.
4.15. Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.15, there are no pending
or, to the knowledge of Target, threatened Claims, legal actions, proceedings, investigations or
outstanding orders, rulings, decrees or stipulations to which any Company is a party, by which any
Company, the Business or the Company Assets are bound or affected or which affect or relate to the
transactions contemplated hereby. To Target’s knowledge, there is no reasonable basis for any such
legal action, proceeding or investigation. None of any Company, the Business nor any Company Asset
is subject to any Judgment.
4.16. Labor and Employee Matters.
(a) Labor Agreements. No Company is a party to or otherwise bound by any
collective bargaining agreement or any other agreement with any labor organization
applicable to employees of or Persons providing services to any Company. No current union
representation questions involving employees of or Persons providing services to any Company
are outstanding. Target has no knowledge of any actual or threatened activity or proceeding
of any labor organization (or representative thereof) to organize any unorganized employees
of any Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16(a), during the past three (3)
years, no Company has experienced any material work stoppage, and no labor dispute,
grievance, slowdown, lockout, strike, work stoppage or other collective labor action is in
effect, pending or, to the knowledge of Target, threatened against or affecting the
Business. No Company is engaged in any unfair labor practice. There has been no mass
lay-off, plant closure, employment loss or other event covered by the Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act within the last year. During the past year Target has
terminated no more than 10 employees and BSI has terminated no more than 9 employees
(excluding any employees terminated for cause within the meaning of applicable law).
(b) Agreements. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16(b), no Company is
currently a party to or bound by any Contract for the employment of any director, officer or
employee or for the performance by any independent contractor of services. Except as set
forth on Schedule 4.16(b), there are no agreements, arrangements or understandings
that would restrict the ability of any Company to terminate the employment of any of its
employees at any time, at will, without Liability (except for Liabilities arising under
applicable Rules, including COBRA). Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16(b), there
are no agreements, arrangements or understandings that would restrict the ability of any
Company to terminate at will, at any time upon thirty days’ notice or less, without
Liability, the agency, distributorship, consultancy or other contract or arrangement of any
employee or independent contractor, except to the extent longer notice periods are expressly
required pursuant to the terms of the Contracts disclosed in a Schedule to this Agreement,
accurate and complete copies of which have been provided to Purchaser. No Company is a
party, directly or indirectly, to any Contract with any Governmental Authority which would
require it to maintain an affirmative action plan or similar program or arrangement. To
Target’s knowledge, no employee of any Company has any
- 23 -
plan or intention to terminate employment with such Company or not to accept an offer
of employment by Purchaser, if made.
(c) Compensation. Schedule 4.16(c) sets forth an accurate and complete
(i) list of directors, officers, employees and independent contractors who perform services

4.16(b) and 4.16(c) also contain a complete and accurate list of any bonus,
severance payment, change of control payment, payment triggered by termination of any
employment agreement to which any Company is a party or other payments owed by any Company
at Closing on account of any Employee Plan or other Contract, or owed at any other time and

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 412 of the Code, or any plan, program, arrangement, or agreement providing for

merchantable quality, usable or, with respect to finished goods, saleable in the ordinary course
except for obsolete, slow moving, defective or below-standard quality items for which a reserve has
been established on the Books and Records in compliance with GAAP.
4.20. Intellectual Property.
(a) Schedule 4.20(a) sets forth an accurate and complete list (together with a

exclusive basis, free and clear of all Liens, all right, title and interest in, or possesses
sufficient rights to use, all of the Intellectual Property utilized in the operation of the

identified in Schedule 4.20(a); provided that BSUK owns, on an exclusive basis, free

basis, free and clear of all Liens, all right, title and interest in all provisional and
nonprovisional U.S. and non-U.S. patent applications upon which priority is claimed by such
patent applications, and the inventions and non-public subject matter described therein.
None of the Company Intellectual Property, nor the operations of the Business, infringe the
proprietary rights of any third party. Any breach of the immediately preceding sentence
shall not be deemed to be a breach of the representations and warranties made in Section
4.10 of this Agreement. The first sentence of this Section 4.20(b) shall not be deemed a
- 26 -
representation as to the sufficiency of any Company Intellectual Property, which shall
be addressed solely by Section 4.34. The representations and warranties contained in this
Section 4.20(b) do not apply to any commercially available software products under standard
end-user license agreements (“Shrink-Wrap Software”) used by any Company.
(c) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.20(c), no Company pays any royalty to
anyone with respect to any of the Company Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in
Schedule 4.3, consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will
not adversely affect the right, title and interest of any Company in and to the Company
Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of Target, none of the Company Intellectual
Property is being infringed by any Person. Each Company has sufficient software licenses
for all of the Shrink-Wrap Software which it uses in the operation of the Business without
violating the terms or provisions of any such software license.
(d) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.20(d), the patent applications listed on
Schedule 4.20(a) were duly filed and Target has no knowledge of any information or
facts that should prevent the applications to issue as Patents, or would render such Patents
invalid or unenforceable.
4.21. Licenses. Set forth in Schedule 4.21 is a true and complete list of all
of each Company’s licenses, permits, quotas, authorizations, franchises, registrations and other
approvals from any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Licenses”). Each of the Licenses has
been duly obtained, is valid and in full force and effect, and is not subject to any Liens or any
pending or, to Target’s knowledge, threatened administrative or judicial proceeding to revoke,
cancel or declare such License invalid in any respect. Except as set forth in Schedule
4.3, consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not adversely affect
the rights of any Company in and to the Licenses. The Licenses are sufficient in all respects to
permit the lawful conduct by the Companies of the Business in the manner now conducted by the
Companies. No Company is in default or in violation with respect to any of the Licenses, and no
event has occurred which constitutes, or with due notice or lapse of time or both may constitute, a
default by any Company under or violation of any License.
4.22. Insurance. Each Company maintains commercially reasonable amounts of insurance
to protect such Company and the Company Assets against the types of liabilities customarily insured
against by Persons in connection with the operation of similar businesses with similar financial
resources and operations, an accurate and complete list of which are set forth in Schedule
4.22, and all premiums due and payable on such policies have been paid. Each Company has
complied with the provisions of all such policies. Such policies are in full force and effect and
no Company is in default under any of them. No Company has received any written notice of
cancellation or intent to cancel or increase premiums with respect to such insurance policies, nor,
to Target’s knowledge, is there any basis for any such action. Schedule 4.22 also contains
a list of all claims or asserted claims reported to insurers under such policies, including all
claims, actions or proceedings asserted against any Company at any time within the past three (3)
years.
4.23. Customers. Set forth in Schedule 4.23 is an accurate and complete list

no longer customers and whose annual purchases during any calendar year exceeded $15,000. (i) No
customer of any Company set forth on Schedule 4.23 in response to clause (a) of this
Section 4.23 (each, a “Major Customer”), has threatened in writing or, to Target’s knowledge,
orally, to Target within the last twelve months to cancel or otherwise terminate, or to the
knowledge of Target, intends to cancel or otherwise terminate, the relationship of such Person with
any Company, (ii) no such Major Customer has during the last twelve months decreased materially or
threatened in writing or, to Target’s knowledge, orally, to Target to decrease or limit materially
its usage or purchase of services or products of any Company, or to the knowledge of Target,
intends to modify materially its relationship with any Company, and (iii) to the knowledge of
Target, assuming Purchaser or one of its Affiliates continues to operate the Business, the purchase
of the Business by Purchaser will not materially and adversely affect the relationship of the
Business with any Major Customer. No Company has offered to any Person, and Target has no
knowledge of any Person entitled to claim, any cash discount, profit participation, stock
adjustment or other rebate or premium in connection with or on account of the purchase of products
or services of any Company.

any Company, (c) each current employee of any Company, and (d) each Immediate Family Member of any
persons referred to in (a), (b) or (c). Except as set forth in Schedule 4.24, during the
past three years no Seller Related Party has been a member, manager, director or officer of, or has

in any business similar to the Business. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.24, no Seller
Related Party owns, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any tangible or intangible
property of any Company or that any Company uses in the conduct of the Business. Except as set
forth in Schedule 4.24, no Seller Related Party owes any money or other amounts to, nor is
any Seller Related Party owed any money or other amounts by any Company other than compensation
paid for services actually performed, or reimbursement of expenses, in each case in amounts in
keeping with past practice and in the ordinary course of business and not in violation of any other
provision of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 4.24, the beneficial ownership of no
more than three percent of the outstanding voting stock of a publicly traded corporation shall not
be deemed to be a “direct or indirect economic interest” in any Person, so long such beneficial
ownership does not include any management authority or control.
4.25. Absence of Certain Commercial Practices. No Company nor any of its respective
officers or directors or, to Target’s knowledge, any other Representatives of any Company (or, to
Target’s knowledge, any Person (other than an officer or director of any Company) acting on behalf
of any of the foregoing) has given or agreed to give (a) any gift or similar benefit of more than
nominal value to any supplier, Governmental Authority (including any governmental employee or
official) or any other Person who is or may be in a position to help, hinder or assist any Company,
the Business or the Person giving such gift or benefit in connection with any actual or proposed

penalty, cost or expense or to any criminal sanctions, (b) receipts from or payments to any
governmental officials or employees, (c) commercial bribes or kick-backs, (d)
- 28 -
political contributions, or (e) any receipts or disbursements in connection with any unlawful
boycott, in each case in violation of any Rule. No such gift or benefit is required in connection

adverse effect on the financial condition, net worth, assets, Liabilities, personnel or operations
(including relationships with suppliers, employees, customers and others) of the Business.
4.26. Name. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.26, no Company has ever

of business, consistent with past practice. No Company has experienced or suffered any material
delay in the payment of its Liabilities to its trade creditors (including suppliers) or with
respect to its trade debt. No Company has outstanding any Indebtedness for Borrowed Funds other
than as set forth on Schedule 4.28 and no Company has agreed to create or incur any

(c) The representations and warranties contained in this Section 6.10 do not apply to
any Shrink-Wrap Software.
6.11. Insurance. Purchaser maintains commercially reasonable amounts of insurance to
protect Purchaser and the assets of Purchaser and its subsidiaries against the types of liabilities
customarily insured against by Persons in connection with the operation of similar businesses with
similar financial resources and operations, and all premiums due and payable on such policies have
been paid.
6.12. Transactions with Related Parties. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Purchaser Related Party” shall mean (a) each past or present director or executive officer of
Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (but, with respect to such subsidiaries, only directors or
executive officers thereof during the time that such subsidiaries were subsidiaries of Purchaser),
and (b) to the knowledge of any person referred to in (a), each Immediate Family Member of such
person. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.12, during the past three years no Purchaser
Related Party has been a member, manager, director or officer of, or has had any direct or indirect
economic interest in, any person or entity which during such period has been a supplier or customer
of products or services of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries, or has competed with or been
engaged in any business similar to the Purchaser’s business. Except as set forth in Schedule
6.12, no Purchaser Related Party owns, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any
tangible or intangible property of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or that Purchaser or any of
its subsidiaries uses in the conduct of its business (other than by reason of ownership of equity
securities of Purchaser). Except as set forth in Schedule 6.12, no Purchaser Related Party
owes any money or other amounts to, nor is any Purchaser Related Party owed any money or other
amounts by Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries other than compensation paid for services actually
performed or reimbursement of expenses in each case in amounts in keeping with past practice and in
the ordinary course of business. For purposes of this Section 6.12, the beneficial ownership of no
more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting stock of a publicly traded corporation shall
not be deemed to be a “direct or indirect economic interest” in any Person, so long such beneficial
ownership does not include any management authority or control.
6.13. Absence of Certain Commercial Practices. Neither Purchaser nor, to Purchaser’s
knowledge, any of its Representatives (or any Person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing) has
given or agreed to give (a) any gift or similar benefit of more than nominal value to any supplier,
Governmental Authority (including any governmental employee or official) or any other Person who is
or may be in a position to help, hinder or assist Purchaser, Purchaser’s business as currently
conducted or the Person giving such gift or benefit in connection with any actual or proposed
transaction relating to Purchaser’s business as currently conducted, which gifts or similar
benefits would individually or in the aggregate subject any Purchaser or any such officer,
director, employee or agent to any fine, penalty, cost or expense or to any criminal sanctions, (b)
receipts from or payments to any governmental officials or employees, (c) commercial bribes or
kick-backs, (d) political contributions, or (e) any receipts or disbursements in connection with
any unlawful boycott, in each case in violation of any Rule. No such gift or benefit is required
in connection with the operation of Purchaser’s business as currently conducted to avoid any fine,
penalty, cost, expense or any material adverse effect on the financial condition, net worth,
assets, Liabilities, personnel or operations (including relationships with suppliers, employees,
customers and others) of Purchaser’s business as currently conducted.
- 36 -

transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has not engaged in any business or activity, or

been, nor does Purchaser have reason to know of, any Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser. Except
as set forth on Schedule 6.15 or arising or contemplated under this Agreement (and the
prior negotiations related hereto), since the Measuring Date, Purchaser has operated its business
only in the ordinary course and has not:
(a) created, permitted or suffered any Lien with respect to any of the material assets
of Purchaser;
(b) made any material change in the operation or nature of any aspect of Purchaser’s
business other than in the ordinary course of business;

manner inconsistent with past practices, changed credit practices or done anything to
materially and adversely affect the relationship of Purchaser to any of its customers or
suppliers, in each case other than in the ordinary course of business;

or arising under or in connection with any of the assets of Purchaser;

(h) without limiting the foregoing, entered into any material transaction affecting any
of the assets of Purchaser or the operations or financial condition of Purchaser, other than

7.4. Employee Plans.
(a) Target shall duly adopt appropriate resolutions to terminate, effective no later

relating to services performed prior to the Closing Date) shall be, effective as of the

Corporation, BSI or BSUK, or accurately accounted for on Target’s financial statements and
the Closing Date Balance Sheet.
(b) As of and subsequent to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall: (i) provide Target’s
and BSI’s employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time who continue to be
employed by the Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation (or one of their Affiliates) on and
after the Effective Time (the “Covered Employees”) with employee benefits and compensation
plans, programs and arrangements that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, to the
employee benefits and compensation plans, programs and arrangements provided by the

and (iv) give the Covered Employees and their eligible dependents credit for the plan year
in which the Effective Time (or commencement of participation in a plan of Purchaser) occurs

to the extent permitted by Purchaser’s plans with no unreasonable additional cost to
Purchaser.
7.5. Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Target shall purchase (i) an extended reporting period
endorsement under Target’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage
for Target’s current and former directors, officers, employees and agents in a form
acceptable to Target that shall provide such directors, officers, employees and agents with
coverage for six (6) years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing
coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the insured persons than the
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by Target, and
(ii) an E&O tail policy with coverage for two (2) years. Purchaser shall maintain such
policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, all rights to exculpation and
indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time now existing in
favor of the current or former directors, officers, employees or agents of Target as
provided in Target’s Organizational Documents and indemnification agreements shall become
the obligations of the Surviving Corporation and shall survive the Merger and shall continue
in full force and effect in accordance with their terms; provided that Purchaser’s
obligations under this Section 7.5(b) shall not exceed the amounts paid to the Surviving
Corporation by the insurance policy or policies referred to in Section 7.5(a).

7.6. Tax Covenants.
(a) Post-Closing Tax Returns.
(i) Purchaser shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely
filed) with the appropriate Taxing Authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed
by the Companies with respect to any taxable period beginning before the Closing
Date that become due after the Closing Date (each a “Purchaser Prepared Return”).
Each such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior
practice of the Companies unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Rules or
specified in Schedule 7.6(a).
(ii) Purchaser shall provide the Agent with a copy of each Purchaser Prepared
Return for review and comment at least fifty (50) days prior to the filing of such
Tax Return (or, if required to be filed within fifty (50) days after the Closing or
the end of the taxable period to which such Purchaser Prepared Return relates, as
soon as reasonably possible following the Closing or the end of such taxable period,
as the case may be), accompanied by a statement (an “Indemnified Tax Statement”)
setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Taxes that are shown as due
on such Tax Return and claimed to be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(iii).
The Agent shall have the right to review and approve (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) each Purchaser Prepared Return. For this purpose,
the Agent’s withholding of approval of a Purchaser Prepared Return based upon
Purchaser’s failure to adopt in such Tax Return an alternative reporting position
suggested by the Agent shall be deemed reasonable if the reporting position proposed
by the Agent on such Tax Return is more likely than not to be sustained if
challenged by a relevant Taxing Authority.
(iii) If the Agent disagrees with the manner of preparation of a Purchaser
Prepared Return or the amount of indemnified Taxes calculated in any Indemnified Tax
Statement, within twenty (20) days of the receipt of a Purchaser Prepared Return or
any Indemnified Tax Statement, the Agent shall provide to Purchaser a notice of such
dispute (a “Tax Statement Dispute”). If the Agent does not provide a notice of Tax
Statement Dispute within such 20-day period, the Agent shall be deemed to have
accepted the Tax Return and, for purposes of Article VIII, the Indemnified Tax
Statement relating thereto. If the Agent provides Purchaser with a notice of a Tax
Statement Dispute, the Agent shall also provide Purchaser with a written explanation
of the reasons for its disagreement and its proposed changes. Purchaser and the
Agent shall attempt to resolve their disagreement with respect to any Purchaser
Prepared Return and any Indemnified Tax Statement. If the Agent and Purchaser
cannot reach complete agreement within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Tax
Statement Dispute, the dispute shall be submitted to an arbitrator (the “Tax
Arbitrator”) pursuant to the procedures described with respect to the Independent
Accountant in Section 2.2(b) for resolution within fifteen (15) days after such
submission. The decision of the Tax Arbitrator with respect to such dispute shall
be binding upon the parties. Purchaser shall, subject to any indemnification
pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(iii),
- 40 -
timely file any Purchaser Prepared Return as finally determined under this
Section 7.6, and shall pay or cause to be paid the Tax shown as due on each such Tax
Return.
(iv) The amount of the Losses attributable to Taxes shown in any Indemnified
Tax Statement as accepted or finally determined pursuant to the preceding paragraph,
shall be treated as a Loss that is indemnifiable by the Sellers pursuant to Section
8.3(b)(iii).
(b) Payment or Reimbursement for Indemnified Taxes. The Agent on behalf of the
Sellers shall either remit the amount of any Taxes shown in any Indemnified Tax Statement as
accepted or finally determined in accordance with Section 7.6(a) to the relevant Taxing
Authority by electronic funds transfer or wire transfer or pay to Purchaser, pursuant to
Section 8.11, such amount either by delivery of a certified check drawn payable to the
relevant Taxing Authority or Purchaser Common Stock or wire transfer of immediately
available funds to such account as directed in writing by the Purchaser, not later than the
latest of (i) fifteen (15) days after provision to Agent of the Indemnified Tax Statement,
(ii) three (3) business days before the required payment date of such Tax, or (iii) in the
case of a disputed amount, three (3) business days after final resolution pursuant to
Section 7.6(a)(iii) of any dispute regarding the amount shown on the Indemnified Tax
Statement.
(c) Taxable Year Closing; Allocation of Taxes. Purchaser shall, unless
prohibited by applicable law, cause the taxable periods of the Companies to end as of the
close of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall not permit the Companies to take any actions
after Closing on the Closing Date that are out of the ordinary course of business, except as
required by applicable Rules, this Agreement or consented to by the Agent. For purposes of
this Agreement, Taxes incurred by the Companies with respect to a taxable period that
includes but does not end on the Closing Date, shall be allocated to the portion of the
taxable period ending on the Closing Date: (i) except as provided in (ii) and (iii) below,
to the extent feasible, on a specific identification basis, according to the date of the
event or transaction giving rise to the Tax, and (ii) except as provided in (iii) below,
with respect to periodically assessed ad valorem Taxes and Taxes not otherwise reasonably
allocable to specific transactions or events, in proportion to the number of days in such
period occurring through the Closing Date compared to the total number of days in such
taxable period, and (iii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or
receipts, in an amount equal to the Tax which would be payable if the relevant taxable
period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a taxable period that begins
before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant
taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to
the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practices of the
Companies.
(d) Amended Returns. Except as required by applicable Rules or in connection
with an audit resolved pursuant to Section 7.6(f) (including consistent correlative
adjustments to Tax Returns for non-audited taxable periods), no party or affiliate of a
party may amend or cause the amendment of a Tax Return of the
- 41 -
Companies, or file or amend any Tax election, or file a Tax Return after the due date
thereof, concerning the Companies, in each case, with respect to any taxable period
beginning on or before the Closing Date that would affect the amount of any indemnity
liability under Section 8.3 without the written consent of the Agent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchaser shall, upon request by the Agent, and at
the expense of Sellers, cooperate in the preparation of and submission to the proper Taxing
Authority of any amended Tax Return with respect to the Companies for any taxable period
ending before the Closing Date to the extent appropriate to reduce or prevent indemnity
liability under Section 8.3.
(e) Overpayments and Overaccruals Related to Indemnified Taxes. To the extent
that any determination of Tax liability, whether as the result of an audit or examination, a
claim for refund, the filing of an amended Tax Return or otherwise, results in a
determination of an overpayment of Taxes for any period, or portion thereof, ending on or
before the Closing Date that are related to Taxes that were indemnified by Sellers under
Section 8.3(b)(iii), Purchaser shall offset the amount of such overpayment against any
unpaid indemnity obligation of Sellers in respect of Taxes for which indemnity would be owed
under Section 8.3(b)(iii), and shall promptly pay to the Agent for the benefit of the
Sellers an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the portion of such overpayment that has not
been so offset and (b) any net indemnity obligations previously satisfied by Sellers in
respect of Taxes of the Companies pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(iii). Such offset or payment
shall be made by Purchaser promptly after receipt by (or crediting for the benefit of)
Purchaser or its Affiliates.
(f) Audits and Contests Regarding Taxes. Any party who receives, or whose
Affiliate receives, any notice of a pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, or
adjustment against or with respect to any of the Companies which may give rise to a right to
indemnification pursuant to the terms of Article VIII shall promptly notify the Agent and
Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of such notice. Purchaser and the
Agent each agree to consult with and to keep the other informed on a regular basis regarding
the status of any Tax audit or proceeding to the extent that such audit or proceeding could
affect a liability of the parties hereto (including indemnity obligations hereunder). The
Agent shall have the right to represent any of the Companies’ interests in any Tax audit or
administrative or judicial proceeding pertaining to taxable periods ending on or before the
Closing Date and to employ counsel of his choice, but reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser,
at his expense, and shall control the disposition of any issue involved in such proceeding;
provided that Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such proceeding at its own
expense, and shall be entitled to control the disposition of any issue involved in such
proceeding which does not affect a potential claim for indemnity under Section 8.3.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6(f), the Agent shall not,
without the Purchaser’s consent, agree to any settlement with respect to any Tax if such
settlement could adversely affect any Tax liability of the Purchaser, its Affiliates or
(with respect to any taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date) any
Company. Both Purchaser and the Sellers (through the Agent) shall be entitled to represent
their own interests in light of their responsibilities (including indemnity obligations) for
the related Taxes, at their own expense, in any audit or administrative or judicial
proceedings involving a taxable period of the Companies that
- 42 -
includes but does not end on the Closing Date or involving both a taxable period of any
of the Companies ending on or before the Closing Date and a taxable period ending after the
Closing Date and no such audit or proceeding may be settled or compromised by the Agent or
Purchaser without the consent of both the Agent and Purchaser, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.6(f), the
provisions of Article VIII shall govern the conduct of any Tax audit or administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to which an Indemnity Claim may be made.
(g) Cooperation, Access to Information and Records Retention. The Agent and
Purchaser shall cooperate, and cause their Representatives and Affiliates to cooperate, as
and to the extent reasonably requested by the other in connection with the preparation and
filing of Tax Returns as provided herein and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with
respect to Taxes relating to the Companies. Such cooperation shall include the provision of
records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit,
litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis
to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
Purchaser agrees (i) to retain all books and records relevant to Taxes of the Companies
(including Tax Returns) relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date
until the expiration of the statute of limitations for assessment of Taxes for such
respective taxable period, and (ii) to give the Agent reasonable written notice prior to
transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the Agent so
requests, Purchaser shall allow the Agent to take possession or copy of such books and
records.
(h) Tax Certificates. Purchaser and the Agent agree, upon request of the
other, to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any
Governmental Authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that
could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement).
(i) Characterization of Indemnity Payments. The parties agree to treat any
payment made by Sellers to Purchaser as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration, to the
extent it may properly be so treated for income Tax purposes.
7.7. Section 368(a) Reorganization Covenants.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, each party will use its best efforts to cause the
Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and,
either before or after the Merger, no party will take any action reasonably likely to cause
the Merger not to qualify as such reorganization. Pursuant to the foregoing, each party
agrees to make such commercially reasonable additions or modifications to the terms of this
Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to permit the Merger so to qualify.
(b) The Purchaser will cause the Surviving Corporation or other members of the
Purchaser “qualified group” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
- 43 -
1.368-1(d)(4)(ii)) to either continue the historic business of Target or use a
significant portion of Target’s historic business assets in a business, both within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d).
(c) The parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise required by law, they (i) will
report in their respective federal income Tax Returns for the taxable period including the
Closing Date that the Merger qualified as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code,
(ii) will not take any Tax reporting position inconsistent with the characterization of the
Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (iii) will
properly file with their federal income Tax Returns all information required by Treasury
Regulations Section 1.368-3. If either party determines that it is required by law to take
any actions contrary to those contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, it will,
prior to taking any such action, notify the other party and work in good faith to modify the
terms, if possible, of this Agreement so that it will not be required by law to take any
actions contrary to those contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.
7.8. Certain Post-Closing Obligations. Sellers shall provide Purchaser with copies of
the results of pending state and federal litigation searches regarding Target in the following
counties: XxXxxxx County, Illinois; Norfolk County, Massachusetts; Monmouth County, New Jersey;
Bennington County, Vermont; and Falls Church County, Virginia, as such results are received by the
Sellers, but in no event later than 21 days after the Closing.

relating to or arising out of any act, omission, transaction, circumstance, sale of
goods or services, or other condition which occurred or
- 46 -
existed on or before the Closing Date, which is not fully shown or provided for
in the Closing Date Balance Sheet, except under the executory portion of any
Contract (A) by which any Company is bound on the Closing Date, (B) which, if
required by this Agreement, is disclosed in a Schedule hereto, and (C) the existence
of which does not otherwise constitute or result from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement or a breach or default by
either Company under any Contract; and
(ix) notwithstanding any disclosure in this Agreement (including in the
Schedules), any Liability relating to the cancellation of options to purchase shares
of Target Common Stock pursuant to the 0000 Xxxxxxx Stock Option Plan as
contemplated by Section 1.11.
8.4. Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions herein,
including the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.6, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold
harmless Seller Protected Parties from and against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred by
such Persons resulting from, in connection with or arising out of, or any Claim relating to (a) any
breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement, or (b) any breach by
Purchaser or Merger Sub of any of the covenants of this Agreement.
8.5. Certain Rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of any representation or warranty
that includes, or requires disclosure of matters above, a specific monetary threshold, if any party
hereto breaches any of such representations and warranties due to the monetary thresholds contained
therein having been exceeded, then Losses for each such breached representation and warranty shall
include the full amount of the Losses incurred by the Purchaser Protected Parties or Seller
Protected Parties, as applicable, relating to any such matter notwithstanding the monetary
thresholds listed in such representations or warranties. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any
obligation of Sellers by virtue of the fact that Target has no obligation or Liability after the
Closing for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Target, and there shall
be no obligation on the part of Purchaser to seek recourse against Target with respect to any such
claim or demand.
8.6. Limitations.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the amount of any Losses for which
indemnification is to be provided pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall be
reduced by (i) any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party under insurance
policies with respect to such Loss, net of any increased premiums or self retention payments
related thereto, and (ii) the amount of any actual reduction in Taxes of an Indemnified
Party or its Affiliates, which are attributable to such Losses and (b) Losses shall not
include any specific liability or reserve to the extent accrued for on the Closing Date
Balance Sheet (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.2). Any amounts payable
by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement
shall be reduced to the extent that, taking into account the effect of the payment itself,
the Indemnified Party actually realizes a Tax reduction attributable to a Loss; provided,
that, if a Tax reduction has not been realized in the taxable period during which an
Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification payment or
- 47 -
the Indemnified Party incurs or pays any loss, the Indemnified Party shall thereafter
make payments to the Indemnifying Party at the end of each subsequent taxable period to
reflect the net Tax reductions subsequently realized by the Indemnified Party.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will any
Seller be liable for and pay the Purchaser Protected Parties (i) under clause (a)(i) or
(b)(i) of Section 8.3 on account of any breach of representations or warranties under this
Agreement (except for a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in
Sections 4.1 (organization; capitalization), 4.2 (authority), 4.9 (taxes), 4.10 (but only
the first sentence thereof) (title), 4.17 (employee plans), 4.18 (environmental matters),
4.20(b) (intellectual property), 5.1 (ownership) or 5.2 (authority) as to which this clause
(i) shall not apply) or under clause (b)(viii) of Section 8.3, in any such case to the
extent the aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims under such Sections exceed such Seller’s
Total Consideration Pro-Rata Percentage of $2,400,000, (ii) with respect to Losses on
account of any breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in Section
4.20(b) (intellectual property) to the extent the aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims
under such Section exceed such Seller’s Total Consideration Pro-Rata Percentage of
$10,000,000, and (iii) with respect to Losses resulting from fraud by Target or any Seller
or on account of any breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in
Sections 4.1 (organization; capitalization), 4.2 (authority), 4.9 (taxes), 4.10 (but only
the first sentence thereof) (title), 4.17 (employee plans), 4.18 (environmental matters),
5.1 (ownership) or 5.2 (authority) to the extent the aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims
under such Sections, together with all other Indemnity Claims under Section 8.3, exceed such
Seller’s Total Consideration Pro-Rata Percentage of the Merger Consideration.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that in
no event will any Seller be liable for or pay the Purchaser Protected Parties pursuant to
Section 8.3 in excess of such Seller’s Total Consideration Pro-Rata Percentage of the Merger
Consideration.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will
Purchaser be liable for and pay the Seller Protected Parties, in the aggregate, (i) under
clause (a) of Section 8.4 on account of any breach of representations or warranties under
this Agreement (except for a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained
in Sections 6.1 (organization), 6.2 (authority), 6.4 (capitalization) or 6.10(a)
(intellectual property) as to which this clause (i) shall not apply) to the extent the
aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims under such Sections exceed $2,400,000, (ii) with
respect to Losses on account of any breach of any of the representations or warranties
contained in Section 6.10(a) to the extent the aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims under
such Section exceed $10,000,000, and (iii) with respect to Losses resulting from fraud by
Purchaser or on account of any breach of any of the representations or warranties contained
in Sections 6.1 (organization), 6.2 (authority) or 6.4 (capitalization) to the extent the
aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims under such Sections, together with all other Indemnity
Claims under Section 8.4, exceed the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that in no event will Purchaser
be liable for or pay Seller Protected Parties pursuant to Section 8.4 in excess of the
Merger Consideration.
- 48 -
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no claim for
indemnification may be made under Section 8.3(a)(i) or 8.3(b)(i) on account of any breach of
representations or warranties under this Agreement (except for a breach of any of the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 (organization; capitalization), 4.2
(authority), 5.1 (ownership) or 5.2 (authority) as to which the Purchaser Deductible Amount
shall not apply) or under clause (b)(viii) of Section 8.3 in any such case unless and until
the Purchaser Protected Parties have incurred aggregate Losses for which the Purchaser
Protected Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in excess of
$150,000 in the aggregate (the “Purchaser Deductible Amount”) and then only to the extent
that such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Purchaser Deductible Amount.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no claim for
indemnification may be made under Section 8.4(a) on account of any breach of representations
or warranties under this Agreement (except for a breach of any of the representations and
warranties contained in Sections 6.1 (organization), 6.2 (authority) or 6.4 (capitalization)
as to which the Seller Deductible Amount shall not apply) unless and until the Seller
Protected Parties have incurred aggregate Losses for which the Seller Protected Parties are
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in excess of $150,000 in the
aggregate (the “Seller Deductible Amount”) and then only to the extent that such aggregate
amount of Losses exceeds the Seller Deductible Amount.
8.7. Cooperation. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.8, a party or parties
against whom an Indemnity Claim has been asserted (individually and collectively, “Indemnifying
Party”) shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any action or
proceeding brought by a third party which resulted in such Indemnity Claim, and if such right is
exercised, the party or parties entitled to indemnification (individually and collectively,
“Indemnified Party”) and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of such
action or proceeding.
8.8. Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims.
(a) In the event that subsequent to the Closing Date any Indemnified Party becomes
aware of an Indemnity Claim on account of or in connection with any Claim or the
commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnified Party by any Person who is
not a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Authority) (a “Third Party
Claim”), as to which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to assert an Indemnity Claim,
such Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof together with a statement
of any available information regarding such Third Party Claim, including, to the extent
known by such Indemnified Party, the alleged factual basis for the Third Party Claim and the
Losses claimed and referring to the provision of this Agreement pursuant to which
indemnification is sought (the “Notice of Claim”) to the Indemnifying Party promptly after
learning of such Third Party Claim. Failure by the Indemnified Party to provide notice on a
timely basis of a Third Party Claim shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party to
obtain indemnification as a result of such Third Party Claim, except to the extent of any
direct damages caused by such delay. If (i) the Indemnifying Party is any Seller and (A)
such Third Party Claim does not seek
- 49 -
injunctive or other equitable relief involving Purchaser or its Affiliates, (B) a
Purchaser Protected Party’s insurance carrier does not require, as a condition to such
Purchaser Protected Party’s eligibility to recover insurance proceeds on account of such
Third Party Claim, that such carrier control the defense of any such Third Party Claim, (C)
such Third Party Claim does not seek recourse which could reasonably be expected to
adversely affect the ongoing business or operations (including customer, supplier or
employee relationships) of a Purchaser Protected Party or any of its Affiliates (including
their rights to use the Company Intellectual Property) or otherwise have a Material Adverse
Effect on Purchaser or its Affiliates, (D) the Agent can demonstrate that it has sufficient
amounts which may be used in connection with such Third Party Claim to (I) defend such Third
Party Claim, and (II) defend all other Third Party Claims then pending which the Agent is
defending pursuant to this Section 8.8, and (E) the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in
writing to the Indemnified Party its unconditional obligation to indemnify the Indemnified
Party for such Third Party Claim (subject to the limitations and conditions set forth
herein), or (ii) if the Indemnifying Party is Purchaser, then in any such case, except in
the case of Claims described in Section 7.6(f), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right,
upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (the “Defense Notice”) within fifteen (15) days
of its receipt from the Indemnified Party of the Notice of Claim, to conduct at its expense
the defense against such Claim in its own name, or, if necessary, in the name of the
Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
approve the defense counsel representing the Indemnifying Party in such defense, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and in the event the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party cannot agree upon such counsel within ten (10) days after
the Defense Notice is provided, then the Indemnifying Party shall propose an alternate
defense counsel, which shall be subject again to the Indemnified Party’s approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to give the Defense Notice
within the time and as prescribed by Section 8.8(a), or if the Indemnifying Party does not
have the right to defend such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.8(a), then, except in
the case of Claims described in Section 7.6(f), in either such event the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to conduct such defense in good faith with counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnified Party (or any insurance carrier
defending such Third Party Claim on the Indemnified Party’s behalf) shall be prohibited from
compromising or settling the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver a Defense Notice and thereby
elects to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.8(a),
the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such
assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, and such cooperation shall be at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, the Indemnifying Party (and any insurance carrier defending such Third Party Claim on
the Indemnifying Party’s behalf) will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim
if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement,
- 50 -
such settlement would lead to Liability or create any financial or other obligation on
the part of any Indemnified Party for which such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be
indemnified hereunder. If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim, which offer
the Indemnifying Party is permitted to settle under this Section 8.8, and the Indemnifying
Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party will give written
notice to the Indemnified Party to that effect. If the Indemnified Party objects to such
firm offer within fifteen days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may
continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum amount
for which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable in connection with such Third Party Claim
will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer, plus costs and expenses paid or
incurred up to the point such notice had been delivered. Failure at any time of the
Indemnifying Party to use commercially reasonable efforts to defend a Third Party Claim as
required herein shall entitle the Indemnified Party to assume the defense and settlement of
such Third Party Claim as if the Indemnifying Party had never elected to do so as provided
in this Section.
(d) Any judgment entered or settlement agreed upon in the manner provided herein shall
be binding upon the Indemnifying Party, and shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation
with respect to which the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified
Party, in each case subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to appeal an appealable
judgment or order and, in all cases, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article
VIII.
8.9. Nature of Other Liabilities.
(a) In the event any Indemnified Party should have an Indemnity Claim which does not
involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party
a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in detail the nature of the Indemnity
Claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification and, if known by
the Indemnified Party, a calculation of Losses attributable to such Indemnity Claim
(“Asserted Damages Amount”).
(b) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of an Indemnity Notice to the Indemnifying
Party a written response (the “Response”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree
that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Asserted Damages Amount, in
which event the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party the Asserted
Damages Amount; (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not
all, of the Asserted Damages Amount (such portion, the “Agreed Portion”), in which event the
Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party the Agreed Portion; or (iii)
dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages
Amount. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the Response within thirty (30) days
after delivery of the Indemnity Notice, the Indemnity Claim specified by the Indemnified
Party in the Indemnity Notice shall become the obligation of the Indemnifying Party.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall (i) dispute that the Indemnified
Party is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount, or (ii)
- 51 -
agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to only the Agreed Portion of the Asserted
Damages Amount, the Agent and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights
of the respective parties with respect to each of the indemnification claims that comprise
the Asserted Damages Amount (or the portion of the Asserted Damages Amount not comprising
the Agreed Portion). If the Agent and Purchaser should so agree, a memorandum setting forth
such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both such parties. If no such agreement can
be reached after good faith negotiation within sixty (60) days after delivery of a Response,
either Purchaser or the Agent may commence litigation of any matter set forth in the
applicable Indemnity Notice.
8.10. Rights of Recoupment and Set-Off. Purchaser shall have the right to recoup and
set off any amounts owing to it or any other Purchaser Protected Party from a Seller for any
Indemnity Claims against any and all amounts due or to become due to such Seller from Purchaser
under this Agreement or otherwise; provided that if there has not been a final determination that
such amounts are payable to Purchaser or any other Purchaser Protected Party from a Seller (as
evidenced either by the agreement of Purchaser and the Agent, or by entry of a final, nonappealable
order by a court of competent jurisdiction), then Purchaser shall deposit such amounts with an
escrow agent pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and the Agent, to
be held by such escrow agent and then distributed only pursuant to the agreement of Purchaser and
the Agent, or a final, nonappealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties
acknowledge and agree that the rights of recoupment and set off set forth in this Section 8.10 are
a condition to Purchaser agreeing to enter into and perform this Agreement and that the rights of
Sellers under this Agreement are subject to such rights.
8.11. Payment of Losses.
(a) All Losses in respect of any Indemnity Claim payable by any Seller shall be paid,
at such Seller’s option, either in cash or by such Seller delivering to Purchaser a number
of shares of Purchaser Common Stock having a Current Value equal to the amount of such
Losses. If any Losses owed by a Seller are not paid to Purchaser by one of the methods
described in the first sentence of this Section 8.11(a) within ten (10) days of a final
determination that such Losses are payable (as evidenced either by the agreement of
Purchaser and the Agent, or by entry of a final, nonappealable order by a court of competent
jurisdiction), and Purchaser is unable or unwilling to recover such Losses pursuant to
Section 8.10, such Seller (and its transferees, if any) shall be deemed to have forfeited,
and Purchaser shall reduce, on its books and records and for all purposes, the number of
shares of Purchaser Common Stock which were owned by such Seller immediately after the
Effective Time by a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock having a Current Value equal
to such unpaid Losses.
(b) All Losses in respect of any Indemnity Claim against Purchaser may be paid, at
Purchaser’s option, either in cash or by Purchaser delivering to the applicable Seller a
number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock having a Current Value as of the date such
Indemnity Claim is payable equal to the amount of such Losses within ten (10) days of a
final determination that such Losses are payable (as evidenced either by the agreement of
Purchaser and the Agent, or by entry of a final, nonappealable order by a court of competent
jurisdiction).
- 52 -
8.12. Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to any Claim based on actual and
intentional fraud made against the Person committing such fraud or seeking injunctive or other
equitable relief for breach of this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties under this
Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive rights and obligations of the parties with respect to
any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement and shall be in
lieu of any other rights or remedies to which the party entitled to indemnification hereunder would
otherwise be entitled as a result of such breach.
8.13. Contract Intent and Construction; Avoidance of Ambiguity. The rights and
remedies of any Person based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall in
no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts upon which
any Claim of any such inaccuracy, breach or indemnity is based may also be the subject matter of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement as to which there
is no inaccuracy or breach. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE AND TO REFLECT THE INTENT, AGREEMENT AND
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTIES, THE EXISTENCE OF ANY FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WOULD CONSTITUTE A
BREACH OF SECTION 4.5 WILL CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF SECTION 4.5 (AS TO WHICH PURCHASER IS ENTITLED TO
INDEMNIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ARTICLE VIII) EVEN THOUGH THE EXISTENCE OF
SUCH FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES MIGHT NOT CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF A MORE SPECIFIC REPRESENTATION AND
WARRANTY OR ANOTHER REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY THAT IS QUALIFIED BY KNOWLEDGE OR OTHERWISE.
ARTICLE IX.
