COVENANTS
Section 5.1
Proxy Statement; Company Shareholder Meeting.
(a)
As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall (i) prepare (with the Lenders’ Representative’s reasonable cooperation, subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.1(a)) and file with the SEC a proxy statement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”) to be sent to the Company’s shareholders relating to the special meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”) to be held to consider (A) an amendment to the Company Code to opt-out of the Ohio Control Share Acquisition Act (the “Opt-Out Proposal”), (B) an amendment to the Company Code to authorize the Board of Directors to change the number of directors and fill any director’s office created by an increase in the number of directors (the “Director Authorization Proposal”), and (C) approval of the contemplated issuance of shares of Company Common Stock to the Second Lien Lenders upon exercise of the warrants issued to the Second Lien Lenders pursuant to this Agreement (the “Stock Issuance”), as required by Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual to authorize and approve the Stock Issuance (the “Issuance Proposal,” and together with the Opt-Out Proposal and the Director Authorization Proposal, the “Proposals”), and (ii) in connection therewith, set a record date for the Company Shareholder Meeting and commence a broker search pursuant to Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act in connection therewith. No filing, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without providing the Lenders’ Representative and its Representatives the reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, which such comments shall be given reasonable and good faith consideration by the Company. The Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously recommends (the “Company Board Recommendation”) that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the Proposals at the Company Shareholder Meeting. Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Holdings, the Company Board Recommendation. The Company shall (i) notify the Lenders’ Representative promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply the Lenders’ Representative with copies of all correspondence between the Company and any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement and (ii) provide the Lenders’ Representative with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Company’s response to any such comments from the SEC and its staff (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given by the Company). The Company will advise the Lenders’
34
Representative promptly after it receives notice of the time when the SEC has cleared the Proxy Statement for mailing. If any time prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting any information in the Proxy Statement (other than information that is supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Lenders’ Representative specifically for inclusion in the Proxy Statement) should be discovered by the Company to contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company shall promptly notify the Lenders’ Representative and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall promptly be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required under applicable Law, disseminated to the Company’s shareholders. If any time prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting any information in the Proxy Statement is supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Lenders’ Representative specifically for inclusion in the Proxy Statement should be discovered by the Lenders’ Representative to contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Lenders’ Representative shall promptly notify the Company and the appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall promptly be filed by the Company with the SEC and, to the extent required under applicable Law, disseminated to the Company’s shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of any such notice by the Company or the Lenders’ Representative, as applicable, and the filing of any such amendment or supplement shall not affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by any party hereunder or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to any party. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Lenders’ Representative hereby covenants and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Company as promptly as practicable, all information related to the Lenders’ Representative, Holdings and the Lenders requested by the Company to prepare the Proxy Statement and any subsequent proxy statement or related filing, to respond to any comments from the SEC and its staff and to comply with rules and regulations of the Exchange Act in connection with obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, including Schedule 14A of the Exchange Act, including financial statements of WorkflowOne and its Subsidiaries and information necessary to prepare pro forma statements.
(b)
The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting for the purposes of seeking the Company Shareholder Approval. The Company shall engage a nationally recognized proxy solicitation firm for the purposes of seeking the Company Shareholder Approval and shall instruct such firm to solicit proxies in a manner that is designed to obtain such approval within a timely solicitation period, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies to secure the Company Shareholder Approval. The Company shall keep the Lenders’ Representative updated with respect to proxy solicitation results as requested by the Lenders’ Representative. Once the Company Shareholder Meeting has been called and noticed, the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting without the Lenders’ Representative’s consent (other than (i) in order to obtain a quorum of its shareholders or (ii) as reasonably determined by the Company to comply with applicable Law). If the Company Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the initial Company Shareholder Meeting, the Company shall resubmit a proposal to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval the next three
35
consecutive meetings of the Company’s shareholders (be they annual or special meetings) if the Company Shareholder Approval is not earlier obtained.
(c)
The Lenders’ Representative agrees that neither it nor any of its Representatives or any other Person acting on such party’s behalf will engage in solicitation or offering activities in connection with the Company Shareholder Meeting or the Stock Issuance in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in violation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
Section 5.2
Working Capital.
(a)
Within 40 Business Days following the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Lenders’ Representative a written statement setting forth a calculation of Working Capital.
(b)
The calculation of Working Capital delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 5.2(a) shall become final and binding on the 10th Business Day following delivery thereof, unless, prior to the end of such period, the Lenders’ Representative delivers to the Company written notice of its disagreement specifying the nature and amount of any dispute as to the Company’s calculation of Working Capital (the “Notice of Disagreement”).
(c)
During the 30-day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the items specified in the Notice of Disagreement. Any disputed items resolved in writing within such 30-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Lenders’ Representative and the Company agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified in the Notice of Disagreement and the calculation of Working Capital, the amounts so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. If the Lenders’ Representative and the Company have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 30-day period, the Lenders’ Representative and the Company shall submit, in writing, to an independent public accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), their briefs detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute and the calculation of Working Capital, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item and the calculation of Working Capital, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. The Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Company’s calculation of Working Capital that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Lenders’ Representative and the Company have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be KPMG LLP or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed to in writing by the Lenders’ Representative and the Company, each acting reasonably. The Lenders’ Representative and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within 30 days following the submission thereof. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 7.8 (the final determination of Working Capital as of the Closing Date,
36
as so determined pursuant to this Section 5.2, the “Final Working Capital”). In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm will be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator.
(d)
The costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to Section 5.2(c), including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by Holdings and the Company in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each party incurred in connection with reviewing the calculation of Working Capital and any Notice of Disagreement pursuant to this Section 5.2(d) shall be borne by such party.
(e)
The Company and Holdings will afford the other party and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records of Workflow One and its Subsidiaries and to any other information reasonably requested for purposes of preparing and reviewing the calculations contemplated by this Section 5.2. Each party shall authorize its accountants to disclose work papers generated by such accountants in connection with preparing and reviewing the calculations of Working Capital; provided, that such accountants shall not be obligated to make any work papers available except in accordance with such accountants’ disclosure procedures and then only after the non-client party has signed an agreement relating to access to such work papers in form and substance acceptable to such accountants.
(f)
Within three Business Days following the determination of the Final Working Capital as provided herein:
(i)
if the Final Working Capital is less than or is equal to the difference of (I) Target Working Capital minus (II) the Escrow Amount, then (x) the Company shall not be required to effect a voluntary prepayment of the first lien term loans outstanding pursuant to Section 3.1.1(a) of the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement, and (y) the entire principal amount of the Tranche B Second Lien Term Loans shall be surrendered to WorkflowOne and the Company, as co-obligors, and cancelled without consideration; and
(ii)
if the Final Working Capital exceeds the difference of (I) Target Working Capital minus (II) the Escrow Amount, then (x) the Company shall effect a voluntary prepayment of the first lien term loans outstanding pursuant to Section 3.1.1(a) of the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement in a principal amount (together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid) equal to the lesser of such excess and $10,000,000, and (y) Tranche B Second Lien Term Loans shall be surrendered to WorkflowOne and the Company, as co-obligors, and cancelled without consideration in a principal amount equal to the excess, if any, of $10,000,000 over the principal amount of first lien term loans required to be prepaid pursuant to clause (x) of this Section 5.2(f)(ii), and the balance, if any, of the Tranche B Second Lien Term Loans shall remain outstanding and shall thereafter accrue interest in accordance with the Amended and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement; and
37
(iii)
The Lenders’ Representative and the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the Company the Escrow Amount.
Section 5.3
Additional Second Lien Debt Issuance. If the Company does not obtain the Company Shareholder Approval by the Determination Date, then an additional principal amount of $25,000,000 of Second Lien Loans, denominated as Tranche C Second Lien Term Loans, shall be issued to the Second Lien Lenders by the Company and WorkflowOne under the Amended and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement.
Section 5.4
Lenders’ Representative.
(a)
Each Lender, by its execution of this Agreement, has consented to the appointment of Silver Point Capital, L.P. as the Lenders’ Representative with full power of substitution to act on behalf of the Lenders to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement. Each Lender, by its execution of this agreement, further agrees that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest and are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Lenders’ Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of such Lender. All decisions, actions, consents and instructions by the Lenders’ Representative in accordance with this Agreement shall be binding upon all of the Lenders, and the Lenders shall have no right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Company shall be entitled to rely on any such decision, action, consent or instruction of the Lenders’ Representative as being the decision, action, consent or instruction of the Lenders.
(b)
The Lenders’ Representative may resign at any time and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of a majority of the Lenders, provided that promptly upon such removal the Lenders shall appoint a new Lenders’ Representative. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Lenders’ Representative shall be sent to the Company, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such consent is received by the Company.
(c)
Each Lender by execution of this Agreement releases the Lenders’ Representative from, agrees that the Lenders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Lender for, and further agrees to indemnify, pro rata in accordance with the principal amount of the loans held by such lenders at the time of such claim, the Lenders’ Representative against, any liability for any action taken or not taken by the Lenders’ Representative in its capacity as such, except for any liability of the Lenders’ Representative to a Lender for losses which such Lender may suffer from fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Lenders’ Representative in carrying out its duties hereunder.
(d)
In addition to the other powers and duties set forth in this Agreement, the Lenders’ Representative shall be authorized to cause the maintenance or liquidation of Holdings, the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns of Holdings, and the payment of any Taxes of Holdings, and to represent or cause Holdings to be represented in any Tax audits with respect to Holdings.
38
(e)
The Lenders’ Representative shall receive no compensation for carrying out its duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that an amount of cash equal to $600,000 will be held back at Holdings (the “Expense Account”) for purposes of paying or reimbursing the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders’ Representative in carrying out its duties under this Agreement.
(f)
The parties hereto acknowledge that immediately after the Equity Issuance, Holdings will be released from all Encumbrances under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement and the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement. In connection with such release, Holdings agrees that it shall transfer any cash remaining in the Expense Account to the Second Lien Lenders (pro rata in accordance with the principal amount of the loans held by such lenders immediately prior to the Closing) after all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred, or reasonably expected to be incurred, by the Lenders’ Representative in carrying out its duties under this Agreement have been paid; provided, that any payment of remaining cash to the Second Lien Lenders shall not be made prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date.
Section 5.5
Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, and for no further consideration, each of the parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
Section 5.6
Public Announcements. Except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system, each of the parties shall (a) consult with each other before issuing, and give each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) not issue any such press release or make any public announcement without the prior consent of the Lenders’ Representative (in the case of the Company ) or the Company (in the case of each of the other parties), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that the Company shall only be required to consult with the Lenders’ Representative. The initial press release of the parties announcing the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release of the Company and Holdings in a form that is mutually agreed upon.
Section 5.7
Post-Closing Transfer. Within a reasonable period following the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause WorkflowOne to transfer all of its material assets and liabilities to the Company, in the Company’s sole discretion, through an asset transfer or merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall require WorkflowOne to assign any of its Contracts to the Company if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or default thereof, cause or permit the acceleration or termination thereof or in any way materially and adversely affect the rights of WorkflowOne thereunder. In the event that any such Contract of WorkflowOne cannot be so assigned without the consent of a third party, then the Company and WorkflowOne shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require the payment of any fees or incurrence of any expenses).
39
Section 5.8
Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities of Holdings. Each Second Lien Lender, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify the Company, pro rata in accordance with the principal amount of the loans held by such lenders at the time of such claim, against any breach by Holdings of its obligations pursuant to Section 6.2(a) of the Purchase Agreement to reimburse the Company for all Taxes of Holdings with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,000,000; provided, that each Second Lien Lender, may, at its option, satisfy such lenders portion of such indemnity by transferring Second Lien Term Loans in satisfaction of such obligations, such that each dollar of transferred principal amount and each dollar of any accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount shall satisfy a dollar of such Second Lien Lender’s obligation under this Section 5.8. The Company hereby agrees to accept any such transfer of Second Lien Term Loans in satisfaction on a dollar for dollar basis of the obligation of Holdings pursuant to Section 6.2(a) of the Purchase Agreement. The Company hereby permits each Second Lien Lender to assign its obligation under this Section 5.8 to any person who purchases Second Lien Loans pro rata in proportion to the amount of such Second Lien Loans purchased by such Person.

Exhibit E
Accounting Principles
Except as otherwise set forth in this Exhibit E to this Agreement (the modification, adjustments and other principles set forth herein, the “Accounting Principles”), Working Capital shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the preparation of the Financial Statements (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and as modified by any exceptions noted in the Accounting Principles. Working Capital shall not include any purchase accounting or other adjustment arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. Working Capital shall be calculated by applying accounting principles relating to inventory valuation, accounts receivable reserves and inventory obsolescence in a manner consistent with the methodology used to calculate the applicable balance as of December 31, 2012. Accounts receivable and account payable shall exclude certain components of the consolidated general ledger accounts 1220 and 2011 relating to the net accrued receivables & related net costs historically referred to as “J order accrual report” and “iSeries pending billing report” in the associated account reconciliations, which shall be calculated in accordance with Schedule 1 attached hereto, by estimating the balances in a manner consistent with past practice. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Exhibit E will have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in this Agreement (except as otherwise noted herein).
Definitions
“Accrued Chapter 11 Priority Tax Claims” means the priority tax claims incurred in connection to the Chapter 11 cases of Workflow Management, Inc., WF Holdings, Inc. and certain of their affiliates under the Bankruptcy Code as reflected in the consolidated general ledger account 2715 relating to accrued tax priority claims.
“Accrued Transaction Expenses” means any and all Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) incurred, or to be incurred, and unpaid as of immediately after the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that “Accrued Transaction Expenses” shall not include Transfer Taxes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
“Closing Cash” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Purchase Agreement.
“Closing Cash Adjustment” means the amount, which may be positive or negative, calculated as the Closing Cash actually delivered to the Company at Closing less the amount of Closing Cash required by Section 7.2(g) of the Purchase Agreement.
“Closing Indebtedness” means the Indebtedness of WorkflowOne and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing.
“Consolidated Current Assets” means, as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, the sum of all current assets of WorkflowOne and its Subsidiaries as determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles, and to the extent not inconsistent with the Accounting Principles, GAAP applied consistently with the application thereof in the preparation of the Latest Balance
Sheet; provided, however, that “Consolidated Current Assets” shall not include, in whole or in part:
a)
Closing Cash,
b)
Prepaid Management Fees,
c)

d)
Accounts receivable owed by WorkflowOne to its Subsidiary or by WorkflowOne’s Subsidiary to WorkflowOne (as long as there are offsetting accounts payable owed by WorkflowOne’s Subsidiary to WorkflowOne or by WorkflowOne to its Subsidiary, as applicable, with the same balance as the accounts receivable).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and it being acknowledged that the following is inconsistent with past practice, to the extent excluded from Closing Cash, outstanding checks, undeposited checks, checks deposited but not yet cleared, cash in transit and other lockbox items shall be included for purposes of calculating Working Capital.
“Consolidated Current Liabilities” means, as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, the sum of all current liabilities of the WorkflowOne and its Subsidiaries as determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Accounting Principles, GAAP applied consistently with the application thereof in the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet; provided, however, that “Consolidated Current Liabilities” (A) shall include (i) Unpaid Rep and Warranty Insurance, (ii) Severance Amount and (iii) Post Closing Transaction Expenses and (B) shall not include, in whole or in part:

d)
Accounts payable owed by WorkflowOne to its Subsidiary or by WorkflowOne’s Subsidiary to WorkflowOne (as long as there are offsetting accounts receivable owed by WorkflowOne’s Subsidiary to WorkflowOne or by WorkflowOne to its Subsidiary, as applicable, with the same balance as the accounts payable),
e)
any Employee Payments,
f)
Related Party Expenses, or
g)
Accrued Chapter 11 Priority Tax Claims.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the inclusion of Unpaid Rep and Warranty Insurance in “Consolidated Current Liabilities” contributes to Final Working Capital being less than the
difference of (A) Target Working Capital minus (B) the Escrow Amount, by an amount in excess of $5,000,000, then Unpaid Rep and Warranty Insurance shall not be considered as part of Consolidated Current Liabilities to the extent it contributed to such excess. In such a case, the portion of Unpaid Rep and Warranty Insurance that is not considered Consolidated Current Liabilities shall become due and payable by Holdings to the Company.
“Employee Payments” means any amounts payable pursuant to the transaction bonus agreements set forth on Schedule 3.27 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement.
“Latest Balance Sheet” means the audited consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, set forth in Schedule 2 hereto.

“Severance Amount” means the lesser of (i) $250,000 and (ii) 50% of the aggregate severance payments that are paid, or payable, to those persons set forth on Schedule 3 hereto as of the 40th Business Day following the Closing Date.
“Shareholder Notes Receivable” means all amounts owed by the equityholders of Holdings to WorkflowOne and its Subsidiaries, and recognized as a prepaid asset on the Latest Balance Sheet.
“Unpaid Rep and Warranty Insurance” means the lesser of (a) $375,000 and (b) fifty percent of the total amount paid in cash by the Company for the procurement of an insurance policy with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties of WorkflowOne and Holdings set forth in Article III of the Purchase Agreement, provided that such insurance policy is actually obtained by the Company within 30 days of the Closing and, upon Holdings’ request, the Company provides reasonable evidence of such insurance policy.
