(d)    Within forty-five (45) days following receipt by Descartes of the Ag
Post-Closing Statement, Descartes shall deliver written notice to Fermat of any
dispute Descartes has with respect to the preparation or content of the Ag
Post-Closing Statement (the “Descartes Dispute Notice”); provided that if
Descartes does not deliver any Descartes Dispute Notice to Fermat within such
forty-five (45)-day period, the Ag Post-Closing Statement will be final,
conclusive and binding on the parties. The Descartes Dispute Notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for any dispute included therein, the
amounts involved and Descartes’s determination of the Ag Adjustment Amount,
including the Closing Ag Inventory Amount. Upon receipt by Fermat of a Descartes
Dispute Notice, Fermat and Descartes shall negotiate in good faith to resolve
any dispute set forth therein (and all such discussions related thereto shall be
governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar
state rule and evidence of such discussions shall not be admissible in any
future Proceedings between the parties). If Fermat and Descartes, such good
faith effort notwithstanding, fail to resolve any such dispute within thirty
(30) days following receipt by Fermat of the Descartes Dispute Notice (the “Ag
Dispute Resolution Period”), then Fermat and Descartes jointly shall engage,
within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Ag Dispute Resolution
Period, Duff & Phelps Corporation or, if Duff & Phelps Corporation is
unavailable or conflicted, another nationally recognized major accounting firm
selected jointly by Descartes and Fermat (the “Ag Independent Accounting Firm”)
to resolve any such dispute. If Descartes and Fermat are unable to agree on the
Ag Independent Accounting Firm, then each of Descartes and Fermat shall select a
nationally recognized major accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually
select a third nationally recognized major accounting firm to serve as the Ag
Independent Accounting Firm. As promptly as practicable, and in any event not
more than fifteen (15) days following the engagement of the Ag Independent
Accounting Firm, Fermat and Descartes shall each prepare and submit a
presentation detailing each party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of
each issue still in dispute to the Ag Independent Accounting Firm. Fermat and
Descartes shall cause the Ag Independent Accounting Firm to, as soon as
practicable after the submission of the presentations described in the
immediately preceding sentence and in any event not more than thirty (30) days
following such presentations, make a final determination, binding on the parties
to this Agreement, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items that
remain in dispute as indicated in the Descartes Dispute Notice. With respect to
each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the
position of either Descartes or Fermat, shall not be in excess of the higher,
nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Descartes or Fermat, as
applicable, in their respective presentations to the Ag Independent Accounting
Firm described above. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be
performed by the Ag Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by
Descartes and Fermat. All determinations made by the Ag Independent Accounting
Firm, and the Ag Post-Closing Statement, as modified by the Ag Independent
Accounting Firm, will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

(e)    For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.7,
Descartes and Fermat shall cooperate with and make available to each other and
their respective Representatives all information, records, data and working
papers, in each case, to the extent related to the Ag Inventory, and shall
permit access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in
connection with the preparation and analysis of the Ag Post-Closing Statement
and the resolution of any disputes thereunder.
(f)    Within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of the
Ag Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.7(d), (i) if the Ag Adjustment Amount
is greater than the Estimated Ag Adjustment Amount, Fermat shall pay or cause to
be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account
designated by Descartes in writing, an amount equal to such excess and (ii) if
the Ag Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Ag Adjustment Amount,
Descartes shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately
available funds into an account designated by Fermat in writing, an amount equal
to such deficiency.

Section 2.8    Certain Ag Business Prorations.
(a)    Fermat shall apportion (i) any rents and other occupancy charges or other
time-based payments (including in respect of field studies) to be received or
paid pursuant to any Assigned Ag Contract and (ii) any utility charges, in each
case with respect to the Acquired Ag Assets and the Ag Business (the “Ag
Prorated Payments”) for payment periods which begin prior to and end on or after
the Closing Date, prorated upon the basis of number of days in such payment
period before and after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Ag
Prorated Payments shall not include rebates or other payments to be received or
paid based on the value of goods shipped or received.
(b)    Not more than thirty (30) Business Days after the end of each of the
first five (5) fiscal quarters ending after the Closing Date, Fermat shall
deliver to Descartes a statement (without duplication of any amounts included in
any prior Ag Proration Statement) of the proposed proration of any Ag Prorated
Payments, including a calculation of the amount of the Ag Prorated Payments for
which Descartes is then liable or which are then due (each, a “Retained Ag
Prorated Payments Amount”) and copies of all statements, invoices, bills and
other documents used by it to determine the proposed proration (each, an “Ag
Proration Statement”). Descartes shall have fifteen (15) days following delivery
of each Ag Proration Statement to object to any amount set forth therein by
delivering a written statement of its objections to Fermat. If Descartes does
not object to any amount set forth in an Ag Proration Statement within such
fifteen (15) day period, such Ag Proration Statement will be final, conclusive
and binding on the parties. If Descartes objects to any amount set forth in such
Ag Proration Statement within such fifteen (15) day period, Fermat and Descartes
shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections and shall resolve such
objections within thirty (30) days of the delivery of such Ag Proration
Statement.

(c)    Within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of any
Retained Ag Prorated Payments Amount for each fiscal quarter pursuant to Section
2.8(b), (i) if such Retained Ag Prorated Payments Amount is owed by Descartes,
Descartes shall pay or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds into an account designated by Fermat in writing, an amount equal
to such Retained Ag Prorated Payments Amount and (ii) if such Retained Ag
Prorated Payments Amount is owed to Descartes, Fermat shall pay or cause to be
paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated
by Descartes in writing, an amount equal to such Retained Ag Prorated Payments
Amount.

Section 2.9    Ag Allocation. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date
hereof, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof,
Descartes shall deliver to Fermat (a) a proposed apportionment of all items that
are treated as consideration to Descartes for Tax purposes as of the Closing
Date among the members of the Descartes Group that transferred Acquired Ag
Assets, Assumed Ag Liabilities, or Transferred Ag Subsidiaries, and (b) a
proposed allocation, to the extent relevant, of the amounts so apportioned to
each member of the Descartes Group among the assets transferred, in each case,
in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder (the apportionment and allocation delivered
pursuant to this sentence, collectively, the “Proposed Ag Allocation”). The
parties agree that, for purposes of this determination, the H&N Business shall
be treated as having a fair market value equal to the amount set forth on
Section 2.9 of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule (before taking into account any
adjustment pursuant to Section 2.14). If Fermat disagrees with the Proposed Ag
Allocation, Fermat may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Proposed
Ag Allocation, deliver a notice (the “Ag Allocation Notice”) to Descartes to
such effect, specifying those items as to which Fermat disagrees and setting
forth Fermat’s proposed allocation. If the Ag Allocation Notice is duly
delivered, Fermat and Descartes shall, during the twenty (20) days following
such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the
disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of all items that
are treated as consideration to Descartes for Tax purposes. If Descartes and
Fermat are unable to reach such agreement any disagreement shall be resolved,
prior to the Closing Date, by the Ag Independent Accounting Firm or a nationally
recognized appraisal firm selected jointly by Descartes and Fermat. The parties
agree to make any adjustments to such allocation as may be necessary to reflect
(x) the final determination of the Ag Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.7
or the H&N Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.14 and (y) any other
adjustment to any amount treated as consideration to Descartes for Tax purposes,
and any disagreement regarding such adjustment shall be resolved by the Ag
Independent Accounting Firm or a nationally recognized appraisal firm selected
pursuant to the preceding sentence. The allocation, as prepared by Descartes if
no Ag Allocation Notice has been given or as adjusted pursuant to any agreement
between Descartes and Fermat or as resolved by the Ag Independent Accounting
Firm or appraisal firm referenced in the preceding sentence (the “Ag
Allocation”) shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto, and none of
Descartes, Fermat or any of their respective Affiliates

-53-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall take any position inconsistent with the Ag Allocation on any Tax Return or
in any Tax Proceeding, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required
pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code
(or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign law).

Section 2.14    H&N Acquisition Working Capital Adjustment.

capital of the H&N Business as of October 31, 2016 (the “H&N Sample Closing
Statement”), including the asset and liability line items, general ledger

(b)    At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Fermat shall
cause to be prepared and delivered to Descartes a closing statement (the “H&N
Closing Statement”) setting forth a good faith estimate of the H&N Adjustment
Amount (such estimate, the “Estimated H&N Adjustment Amount”) and the
calculation of such Estimated H&N Adjustment Amount, including an estimate of
the Closing H&N Working Capital Amount and shall consider in good

-59-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

faith any comments thereon by Descartes and revise the H&N Closing Statement and
Estimated Ag Adjustment Amount to reflect any changes as may be agreed by
Descartes and Fermat (and all such discussions related thereto shall be governed
by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state
rule and evidence of such discussions shall not be admissible in any future
Proceedings between the parties). The H&N Closing Statement shall be prepared in
accordance with the H&N Accounting Principles.
(c)    Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Descartes shall cause to
be prepared and delivered to Fermat a working capital statement (the “H&N
Post-Closing Statement”), setting forth the H&N Adjustment Amount and the
calculation of the H&N Adjustment Amount, including the Closing H&N Working
Capital Amount. The H&N Post-Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance
with the H&N Accounting Principles.
(d)    Within forty-five (45) days following receipt by Fermat of the H&N
Post-Closing Statement, Fermat shall deliver written notice to Descartes of any
dispute Fermat has with respect to the preparation or content of the H&N
Post-Closing Statement (the “Fermat Dispute Notice”); provided that if Fermat
does not deliver any Fermat Dispute Notice to Descartes within such forty-five
(45)-day period, the H&N Post-Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and
binding on the parties. The Fermat Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for any dispute included therein, the amounts involved and
Fermat’s determination of the H&N Adjustment Amount, including the Closing H&N
Working Capital Amount. Upon receipt by Descartes of a Fermat Dispute Notice,
Fermat and Descartes shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute set
forth therein (and all such discussions related thereto shall be governed by
Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule
and evidence of such discussions shall not be admissible in any future
Proceedings between the parties). If Fermat and Descartes, such good faith
effort notwithstanding, fail to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days
following receipt by Descartes of the Fermat Dispute Notice (the “H&N Dispute
Resolution Period”), then Fermat and Descartes jointly shall engage, within ten
(10) days following the expiration of the H&N Dispute Resolution Period, Duff &
Phelps Corporation or, if Duff & Phelps Corporation is unavailable or
conflicted, another nationally recognized major accounting firm selected jointly
by Descartes and Fermat which, for the avoidance of doubt may be the same firm
as the Ag Independent Accounting Firm (the “H&N Independent Accounting Firm”) to
resolve any such dispute. If Descartes and Fermat are unable to agree on the H&N
Independent Accounting Firm, then each of Descartes and Fermat shall select a
nationally recognized major accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually
select a third nationally recognized major accounting firm to serve as the H&N
Independent Accounting Firm. As promptly as practicable, and in any event not
more than fifteen (15) days following the engagement of the H&N Independent
Accounting Firm, Fermat and Descartes shall each prepare and submit a
presentation detailing each party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of
each issue still in dispute to the H&N Independent Accounting Firm. Fermat and
Descartes shall cause the H&N Independent Accounting Firm to, as soon as

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

practicable after the submission of the presentations described in the
immediately preceding sentence and in any event not more than thirty (30) days
following such presentations, make a final determination, binding on the parties
to this Agreement, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items that
remain in dispute as indicated in the Fermat Dispute Notice. With respect to
each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the
position of either Descartes or Fermat, shall not be in excess of the higher,
nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Descartes or Fermat, as
applicable, in their respective presentations to the H&N Independent Accounting
Firm described above. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be
performed by the H&N Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by
Descartes and Fermat. All determinations made by the H&N Independent Accounting
Firm, and the H&N Post-Closing Statement, as modified by the H&N Independent
Accounting Firm, will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.
(e)    For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.14,
Descartes and Fermat shall cooperate with and make available to each other and
their respective Representatives all information, records, data and working
papers, in each case, to the extent related to the Acquired H&N Assets, Assumed
H&N Liabilities or H&N Business, and shall permit access to its facilities and
personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and
analysis of the H&N Post-Closing Statement and the resolution of any disputes
thereunder.
(f)    Within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of the
H&N Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.14(d), (i) if the H&N Adjustment
Amount is greater than the Estimated H&N Adjustment Amount, Descartes shall pay
or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an
account designated by Fermat in writing, an amount equal to such excess and
(ii) if the H&N Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated H&N Adjustment
Amount, Fermat shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately
available funds into an account designated by Descartes in writing, an amount
equal to such deficiency.

Section 2.15    Certain H&N Business Prorations.
(a)    Descartes shall apportion (i) any rents and other occupancy charges or
other time-based payments (including in respect of field studies) to be received
or paid pursuant to any Assigned H&N Contract and (ii) any utility charges, in
each case with respect to the Acquired H&N Assets and the H&N Business (the “H&N
Prorated Payments”) for payment periods which begin prior to and end on or after
the Closing Date, prorated upon the basis of number of days in such payment
period before and after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the H&N
Prorated Payments shall not include rebates or other payments to be received or

(b)    Not more than thirty (30) Business Days after the end of each of the
first five (5) fiscal quarters ending after the Closing Date, Descartes shall
deliver to Fermat a statement (without duplication of any amounts included in
any prior H&N Proration Statement) of the proposed proration of any H&N Prorated
Payments, including a calculation of the amount of the H&N Prorated Payments for
which Fermat is then liable or which are then due (each, a “Retained H&N
Prorated Payments Amount”) and copies of all statements, invoices, bills and
other documents used by it to determine the proposed proration (each, an “H&N
Proration Statement”). Fermat shall have fifteen (15) days following delivery of
each H&N Proration Statement to object to any amount set forth therein by
delivering a written statement of its objections to Descartes. If Fermat does
not object to any amount set forth in an H&N Proration Statement within such
fifteen (15) day period, such H&N Proration Statement will be final, conclusive
and binding on the parties. If Fermat objects to any amount set forth in such
H&N Proration Statement within such fifteen (15) day period, Fermat and
Descartes shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections and shall
resolve such objections within thirty (30) days of the delivery of such H&N
Proration Statement.
(c)    Within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of any
Retained H&N Prorated Payments Amount for each fiscal quarter pursuant to
Section 2.15(b), (i) if such Retained H&N Prorated Payments Amount is owed by
Fermat, Fermat shall pay or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds into an account designated by Descartes in writing, an amount
equal to such Retained H&N Prorated Payments Amount and (ii) if such Retained
H&N Prorated Payments Amount is owed to Fermat, Descartes shall pay or cause to
be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account
designated by Fermat in writing, an amount equal to such Retained H&N Prorated
Payments Amount.

Section 2.16    H&N Allocation. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date
hereof, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof,
Fermat shall deliver to Descartes (a) a proposed apportionment of all items that
are treated as consideration to Fermat for Tax purposes as of the Closing Date
among the members of the Fermat Group that transferred Acquired H&N Assets,
Assumed H&N Liabilities, or Transferred H&N Subsidiaries, and (b) a proposed
allocation, to the extent relevant, of the amounts so apportioned to each member
of the Fermat Group among the assets transferred, in each case, in a manner
consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder (the apportionment and allocation delivered pursuant to
this sentence, collectively, the “Proposed H&N Allocation”). The parties agree
that, for purposes of this determination, the Ag Business shall be treated as
having a fair market value equal to the amount set forth on Section 2.16 of the
Descartes Disclosure Schedule (before taking into account any adjustment
pursuant to Section 2.7). If Descartes disagrees with the Proposed H&N
Allocation, Descartes may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the
Proposed H&N Allocation, deliver a notice (the “H&N Allocation Notice”) to
Fermat to such effect, specifying those items as to which Descartes disagrees
and setting forth Descartes’s proposed allocation. If the H&N Allocation Notice
is duly delivered, Descartes and Fermat shall, during the twenty (20) days
following such delivery,

-62-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or
amounts in order to determine the allocation of all items that are treated as
consideration to Fermat for Tax purposes. If Descartes and Fermat are unable to
reach such agreement, any disagreement shall be resolved, prior to the Closing
Date, by the H&N Independent Accounting Firm or a nationally recognized
appraisal firm selected jointly by Descartes and Fermat. The parties agree to
make any adjustments to such allocation as may be necessary to reflect (x) the
final determination of the H&N Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.14 or the
Ag Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.7 and (y) any other adjustment to any
amount treated as consideration to Descartes for Tax purposes, and any
disagreement regarding such adjustment shall be resolved by the H&N Independent
Accounting Firm or a nationally recognized appraisal firm selected pursuant to
the preceding sentence. The allocation, as prepared by Fermat if no H&N
Allocation Notice has been given or as adjusted pursuant to any agreement
between Descartes and Fermat or as resolved by the H&N Independent Accounting
Firm or appraisal firm referenced in the preceding sentence (the “H&N
Allocation”) shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto, and none of
Descartes, Fermat or any of their respective Affiliates shall take any position
inconsistent with the H&N Allocation on any Tax Return or in any Tax Proceeding,
in each case, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a
“determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any
analogous provision of state, local or foreign law).

Section 2.17    Transferred Ag Subsidiaries. The parties intend that the
transfer of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries shall result in an indirect transfer
of only those assets of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries that would otherwise
(that is, if the parties were transferring assets of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries and not their equity interests) fall within the definition of
“Acquired Ag Assets,” and in an indirect transfer of only those Liabilities of
the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries that would otherwise fall within the definition
of “Assumed Ag Liabilities.” Descartes shall use reasonable best efforts to
transfer out of each of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries prior to the Closing all
assets and Liabilities required to be transferred so that the assets and
Liabilities of each of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries at the Closing are
consistent with the agreement of the parties as set forth in the preceding
sentence.

Section 2.18    Transferred H&N Subsidiaries. The parties intend that the
transfer of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries shall result in an indirect
transfer of only those assets of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries that would
otherwise (that is, if the parties were transferring assets of the Transferred
H&N Subsidiaries and not their equity interests) fall within the definition of
“Acquired H&N Assets,” and in an indirect transfer of only those Liabilities of
the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries that would otherwise fall within the definition
of “Assumed H&N Liabilities.” Fermat shall use reasonable best efforts to
transfer out of each of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries prior to the Closing
all assets and Liabilities required to be transferred so that the assets and
Liabilities of each of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries at the Closing are
consistent with the agreement of the parties as set forth in the preceding
sentence.

Section 2.19    Works Council Matters.
(a)    The parties acknowledge that, under French labor laws, one or more works
councils of Descartes and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries that own French Ag
Assets or directly conduct the French Ag Business will need to be informed and
consulted with respect to the offer made by Fermat to acquire the assets meeting
the criteria set forth in the definition of “Acquired Ag Assets” that are
located in France and are owned by Descartes and/or its Subsidiaries (the
“French Ag Assets”) and the Ag Business conducted in France (the “French Ag
Business”) and assume the liabilities meeting the criteria set forth in the
definition of “Assumed Ag Liabilities” related to the French Ag Assets or French
Ag Business (the “French Ag Liabilities”). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, unless and until Descartes (or its relevant
Subsidiaries) has executed and delivered to Fermat the France Acceptance Notice,
the French Ag Assets, the French Ag Business and the French Ag Liabilities will
not be considered to constitute Acquired Ag Assets, Ag Business or Assumed Ag
Liabilities respectively, and, if no such France Acceptance Notice is delivered
prior to the Closing, the Cash Balancing Amount shall be reduced by the French
Ag Consideration (as such term is defined below).
(b)    On the terms and conditions set forth in the offer letter attached as
Exhibit H hereto (the “French Offer Letter” and the offer set forth therein, the
“French Ag Offer”), including the consideration specified therein (the “French
Ag Consideration”), Fermat has irrevocably offered to acquire the French Ag
Assets and French Ag Business and assume the French Ag Liabilities (within the
time limit set forth therein) and to have the provisions of this Agreement apply
to the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag Liabilities upon the
acceptance of the French Ag Offer by Descartes (or its relevant Subsidiaries).
Subject to acceptance of the French Ag Offer by Descartes (or its relevant
Subsidiaries) following the completion of the consultation process described in
this Section 2.19, and upon delivery to Fermat of the executed acceptance notice
attached as Schedule 2 to the French Offer Letter (the “France Acceptance
Notice”), this Agreement shall apply to the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business
and French Ag Liabilities, and the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and
French Ag Liabilities shall be included in the Acquired Ag Assets, Ag Business
and Assumed Ag Liabilities respectively. If the France Closing (as such term is
defined below occurs after the Closing, on the France Closing, Fermat shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, the French Ag Consideration to Descartes by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing
by Descartes and the Ag Foreign Closing Documents relating to the French Ag
Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag Liabilities in the manner set forth in
Section 2.2(b) and Section 2.19(d), as applicable.
(c)    Descartes shall initiate or cause its relevant Subsidiaries to initiate
the information/consultation process as promptly as practicable after the date
hereof. Descartes shall conduct and cause its relevant Subsidiaries to conduct
the information/consultation process in the most expedient way practicable.
Descartes and Fermat shall, and shall cause their respective

-64-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the
applicable consultation process described in this Section 2.19, including (i)
Fermat timely providing any required information relating to Fermat or its
Affiliates, or to any measures envisaged by Fermat or its Affiliates or as
otherwise reasonably requested by Descartes in respect of or for the purpose of
such consultation process and (ii) Descartes keeping Fermat informed of the
status of such consultation and any material developments so far as they relate
to the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business or French Ag Liabilities. Without
Fermat’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, Descartes (or its relevant Subsidiaries) shall not enter
into any material agreement with, or make any material commitment to, the
relevant works council which would bind or impose any material obligation on
Fermat after the Closing; provided; however; for the avoidance of doubt, that
Fermat’s consent shall not be required with respect to any matter affecting only
employees of Descartes (or its relevant Affiliates) who are not Ag Business
Employees. If, as a result of any such consultation process, changes to this
Agreement, or further arrangements in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, are considered necessary by Descartes, Descartes
shall negotiate in good faith with Fermat on such changes (if any) to this
Agreement or further arrangements (if any) in connection with such transactions
that are appropriate, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in
the French Offer Letter (as applicable).
(d)    The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) conditions to the transfer and
assumption of the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business or French Ag Liabilities
set forth in the French Offer Letter may be satisfied after the conditions to
the transfer of other Acquired Ag Assets and Assumed Ag Liabilities and the Ag
Business set forth in Article VII have been satisfied and in any such case the
Closing shall take place with respect to all Acquired Ag Assets, Ag Business and
Assumed Ag Liabilities other than the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and
French Ag Liabilities, and (ii) the consummation of the sale of the French Ag
Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag Liabilities (the “France Closing”)
shall occur in accordance with the terms of the French Offer Letter. The parties
further acknowledge and agree that (A) all actions and documents relating to the
transfer of the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag Liabilities
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Ag Foreign Closing Documents
relating to the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag Liabilities)
shall not be required to be taken or delivered at the Closing but only at the
France Closing and (B) all items taken into account in the Closing Ag Inventory
Amount in accordance with this Agreement shall not be adjusted to reflect the
exclusion of the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag Liabilities
at the Closing but shall be reflected as if the France Closing shall have
occurred at the Closing; provided, that if no France Acceptance Notice is
delivered prior to the Expiry Date (as defined in the French Offer Letter), the
Target Ag Inventory Amount and Closing Ag Inventory Amount shall be adjusted to
reflect the exclusion of the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag
Liabilities, which shall be determined and paid pursuant to the process set
forth in Section 2.7, except provided that the date

-65-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to provide an Ag Post-Closing Statement shall be as from the Expiry Date rather
than as from the Closing Date. In the event the France Closing occurs on a
different date than the Closing, the provisions of Article V and Article VI
hereof (and any related definitions, including Excluded Ag Taxes, Straddle
Period, Post-Closing Period, and Pre-Closing Period) shall, with respect to the
French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag Liabilities be interpreted as
if references to the Closing were references to the France Closing. To the
extent that the France Closing shall not have occurred simultaneously with the
Closing, the covenants set forth in Article V (other than Sections 5.2, 5.4, 5.5
(not including 5.5(a)(ii)), 5.7, 5.12, 5.21(a)(i) and 5.30, which shall apply
with respect to the French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag
Liabilities as from the date of this Agreement) shall apply with respect to the
French Ag Assets, French Ag Business and French Ag Liabilities as from the date
of the France Acceptance Notice; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that the France Closing does occur, any breach by Descartes or its
Affiliates of any provision of Article V from or after the date of this
Agreement shall be subject to Article IX as if Article V had been applicable
from and after the date of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event
shall any breach of such covenants during the period following the date hereof
until the France Closing affect the requirement to effect the France Closing but
shall only result, if applicable, in a claim for indemnification under
Article IX.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF DESCARTES
Except as disclosed in (a) the filings of Descartes with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed since January 1, 2015 and not less than
one (1) Business Day prior to the date of this Agreement (excluding (x) any
documents incorporated by reference therein, and (y) any disclosures set forth
in any “risk factor” or “forward-looking statements” sections or other similar
disclosures, in each case, to the extent they are predictive, cautionary or
forward-looking in nature) (provided that this clause (a) shall not be
applicable to Sections 3.2, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.22) or (b) the Descartes
Disclosure Schedule (it being agreed that the disclosure of any matter in any
section in the Descartes Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to have been
disclosed in any other section in the Descartes Disclosure Schedule to which the
applicability of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face), Descartes
hereby represents and warrants to Fermat as follows:

Section 3.1    Organization, Standing and Power. Descartes is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing (except, as to Descartes’s good
standing, as would not be material to the Ag Business) under the Laws of the
State of Delaware and has all necessary organizational power and authority to
carry on the Ag Business as presently conducted. Each of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries and any other Subsidiary of Descartes that is a party to any
Acquisition Document is a corporation, partnership or other legal entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept or
any similar concept is recognized) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable

-66-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

except where the failure to be in good standing or to be so organized and
existing would not constitute an Ag Business Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.2    Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Each of
Descartes and its Subsidiaries party to any Acquisition Document has all
requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each
other Acquisition Document to which it is a party and to consummate the
Acquisitions and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The
execution and delivery by Descartes and/or its Subsidiaries of this Agreement
and each other Acquisition Document to which it is a party, the performance by
Descartes and its Subsidiaries of their obligations hereunder and thereunder and
the consummation by Descartes and its Subsidiaries of the Acquisitions and the
other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate or other action of Descartes and its Subsidiaries. No
other corporate proceedings on the part of Descartes or its Subsidiaries (and no
action on the part of any stockholders, members, partners or equityholders of
Descartes and its Subsidiaries) are necessary to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance in accordance with their respective terms of this
Agreement and the Acquisition Documents and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. Descartes has duly executed and delivered this
Agreement and at the Closing Descartes, as applicable, and its applicable
Subsidiaries will have executed and delivered each other Acquisition Document to
which it is a party, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by
each other party thereto, this Agreement and each other Acquisition Document to
which it is a party will constitute its valid and binding obligations,
enforceable against Descartes and/or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, in
accordance with their respective terms, subject to General Enforceability
Exceptions.

Section 3.3    Transferred Ag Subsidiaries.
(a)    Each of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries has the requisite power and
authority to carry on its respective business as it is presently being conducted
and to own, lease or operate its respective properties and assets. None of the

similar organizational documents. None of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries has
operated any businesses other than the Ag Business other than in a de minimis or
incidental manner.
(b)    Except for Subsidiaries and marketable securities held for passive

other material voting or material equity interest in any Person), the
Transferred Ag Subsidiaries do not own, directly or indirectly, any capital
stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, any Person (or any security or
other right, agreement or commitment convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for, any equity or voting interest in any Person). The Transferred
Ag Subsidiaries do not have any obligation to acquire any equity or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

voting interest, security, right, agreement or commitment or to provide funds to
or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or
otherwise) in, any Person.
(c)    All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity or
voting interests in, each of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries (i) have been duly
authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable (and no such
shares of capital stock or any other equity or voting interest have been issued
in violation of any preemptive or similar rights) and (ii) are owned, directly
or indirectly, by Descartes, free and clear of all Liens and free of any other
restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise
dispose of such capital stock or other equity or voting interest) other than

Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of, or

shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, any of the
Transferred Ag Subsidiaries, (iii) obligations of Descartes or any of the
Transferred Ag Subsidiaries to grant, extend or enter into any subscription,

or commitment (whether payable in equity, cash or otherwise) relating to any
capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest (including any voting debt)
in any of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries, (iv) outstanding restricted shares,
restricted share units, stock appreciation rights, performance shares,
contingent value rights, “phantom” stock or similar securities or rights that
are derivative of, or provide economic benefits based, directly or indirectly,
on the value or price of, any capital stock of, or other securities or ownership
interests in any of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries (the items in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) and (iv), together with the capital stock of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries, being referred to collectively as “Transferred Ag Subsidiary
Securities”), (v) voting trusts, proxies, voting agreements or similar

Subsidiaries is bound with respect to the voting of any shares of capital stock
of, or other equity or voting interest in any of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries, or (vi) Contracts of any character restricting the transfer of any
shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in any of the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3.4    No Conflicts; Consents.
(a)    Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
Descartes nor the execution, delivery and performance of the Acquisition
Documents by Descartes and its applicable Subsidiaries party thereto, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance
by Descartes and its applicable Subsidiaries with the terms hereof and thereof,
will (i) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or
other comparable governing documents) of such Person, (ii) conflict with,

(iii) assuming the making of the filings and obtaining of the related approval
referred to in clause (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) below, violate any Judgment or
Law applicable to any of Descartes, its applicable Subsidiaries, the Acquired Ag
Assets, the Ag Business or any Ag Business Permit or (iv) result in the creation
of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, upon any of the Acquired Ag Assets,
except in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) for conflicts, violations,
breaches, defaults, terminations, cancellations, accelerations, losses and Liens
that would not constitute an Ag Business Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    No Approval of any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made
by or with respect to Descartes or the Acquired Ag Assets in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the
Ag Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby, other than (i) in
respect of any applicable Law or other legal restraint designed to govern
competition, trade regulation or foreign investment or to prohibit, restrict or
regulate actions with the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of
trade (collectively, the “Antitrust Laws”), (ii) filings to transfer Permits and
Environmental Permits required for the operation of the Ag Business and
(iii) such consents, waivers, approvals, licenses, authorizations, Permits,
filings or notifications which, if not obtained or made, would not constitute an
Ag Business Material Adverse Effect. The consent of Dirac is not required,
pursuant to the Dirac/Descartes Merger Agreement or otherwise, for the
consummation of the Ag Acquisition or the other transactions contemplated
hereby.

Section 3.5    Proceedings. Except the EC Commitments, Descartes and its
Subsidiaries are not (a) to the extent related to the Ag Business, subject to
any outstanding Judgment (other than any Judgments where the remedy comprises
solely monetary damages in an amount not in excess of $500,000 to the extent
related to the Ag Business) (“Material Ag Judgments”) or (b) to the extent
either (i) related to the Ag Business or (ii) questioning the validity of this
Agreement or the Acquisition Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby or any action taken or to be taken by Descartes or any of its
Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement or the Acquisition Documents or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, a party to or the subject

-69-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of or, to the Knowledge of Descartes, threatened in writing to be made a party
to or the subject of any Proceeding (other than any Proceedings (A) where the
potential remedy comprises solely monetary damages in an amount not in excess of
$500,000 to the extent related to the Ag Business or (B) solely by or relating
to former employees or contractors of Descartes or its Affiliates to the extent
any Liability arising therefrom is an Excluded Ag Asset or a Retained Ag
Liability) (“Material Ag Proceedings”). Section 3.5 of the Descartes Disclosure
Schedule sets forth all Material Ag Proceedings as of the date hereof and all
Material Ag Judgments to which Descartes has been subject within the past three
years prior to the date hereof. This Section 3.5 does not relate to matters with
respect to Environmental Laws, such items being exclusively governed by Section
3.15.

Section 3.6    Financial Statements. The financial data set forth in Section 3.6
of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Ag Financial Data”) (a)
were derived from the financial data inputs into the audited financial
statements of Descartes for the years 2015 and 2016, and the financial
accounting and reporting systems of Descartes, (b) are unaudited, (c) do not
conform with GAAP, (d) were prepared solely for the purpose of this Agreement,
(e) were based on (i) the direct operating revenues and direct operating
expenses of the Ag Business and (ii) allocations to the Ag Business, made based
on reasonable assumptions and in good faith by management, of certain of the
indirect costs previously allocated by the management of Descartes to
Descartes’s crop protection business in the course of preparing Descartes’s
publicly filed segment level financial information, and (f) do not include
indirect costs that are not allocated to Descartes’s businesses in the course of
preparing Descartes’s publicly filed segment level financial information. The Ag
Financial Data fairly present in all material respects the results of the Ag
Business during the applicable fiscal period presented therein, subject to
(A) the fact that the Ag Business was not operated on a stand-alone basis during
such periods and (B) the fact that the Ag Financial Data (and the allocations
and estimations made by the management of Descartes in preparing such Ag
Financial Data) (1) are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have
resulted if the Ag Business had been operated on a stand-alone basis during such
periods and (2) may not be indicative of any such costs to Fermat and its
Subsidiaries that will result following the Closing. Except for those
representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.6, Descartes makes no
other representations or warranties with regard to the Ag Financial Data.

Section 3.7    Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. The Ag Business does not have
any Liabilities other than Liabilities that: (a) were incurred since December
31, 2016 in the ordinary course of business, (b) are Retained Ag Liabilities,
(c) are incurred pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 5.8), (d) are set
forth on Section 3.7 of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule or (e) would not
constitute an Ag Business Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing, there is
no Indebtedness for borrowed money between or among any of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries.

-70-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3.8    Absence of Changes or Events.
(a)    Except in connection with or in preparation for the Ag Acquisition and
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, from and after December
31, 2016 until the date of this Agreement, (i) the Ag Business has been operated
in the ordinary course of business and (ii) there has not been, nor has there
occurred, any event, circumstance, change, development or effect that
constitutes an Ag Business Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    Since December 31, 2016 through the date of this Agreement, the Ag
Business has been conducted in all material respects in the ordinary course of
business, and neither Descartes nor any of its Subsidiaries has undertaken any
action that if taken after the date of this Agreement would require Fermat’s
consent pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(iii), (v), (ix), (xvii), or (xix) (solely as
it relates to Section 5.2(b)(iii), (v), (ix), or (xvii)).

Section 3.9    Sufficiency of Assets; Title.
(a)    As of the Closing, (i) the Acquired Ag Assets, taking into account the
assets, services, products, real property, Intellectual Property and IT Assets
provided, acquired, leased or licensed at the Closing (A) under the Ag
Acquisition Documents and (B) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.10,
Section 5.11, Section 5.12, Section 5.19(b) and Section 5.23, are sufficient in
all material respects for, and constitute all of the assets (other than (A) the
services of Governmental Entities or third party utility providers (and assets
of Governmental Entities or third party utility providers related to the
provision of such services) provided to the Ag Business in the ordinary course
of business and of a type generally provided by Governmental Entities or third
party utility providers to similarly situated Persons and (B) the services set
forth on Section 3.9(a) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule (the “Excluded
Descartes Services”)) necessary to conduct the Ag Business in the manner
currently conducted and as currently contemplated to be conducted and (ii) such
assets are in reasonably good condition and repair, to the extent tangible
(subject to normal wear and tear consistent with the age of the assets and
properties) and shall be operational (except in any de minimis respect) (or
shall be capable of being made operational after repair in the ordinary course
of business consistent with past practice).
(b)    Except as would not be material to the Ag Business, taken as a whole,
Descartes has, or will at or immediately prior to the Closing have, good and
valid title or a valid leasehold interest in and to all of the assets and
properties related to the Ag Business (whether real, personal, or mixed and
whether tangible or intangible) that it purports to own or lease, as applicable,

are addressed in the Acquisition Documents and Sections 5.10 and 5.11 of this
Agreement.

Section 3.10    Intellectual Property.
(a)    Section 3.10(a) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true
and complete (in all material respects) list as of January 4, 2017 of the
following items of Intellectual Property included in the Ag Business
Intellectual Property: (i) each issued Patent and each pending Patent

and (iii) each copyright registration and application for registration.
(b)    (i) None of the material Ag Business Intellectual Property is subject to
any Judgment materially and adversely affecting the use thereof or rights
thereto by Descartes and its Subsidiaries in the Ag Business; (ii) there is no
opposition or cancellation Proceeding pending as of the date hereof against
Descartes and its Subsidiaries concerning the ownership, validity,
enforceability or infringement of any material Ag Business Intellectual

1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

has received any written notice prior to the date of this Agreement alleging
that any aspect of the Ag Business as currently conducted infringes,
misappropriates, or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property of any other
Person.
(c)    To the Knowledge of Descartes, Descartes owns, is licensed or otherwise
possesses rights to use or exploit all Ag Business Intellectual Property
necessary to conduct the Ag Business as presently conducted. Any other
representation or warranty in this Article III notwithstanding, the
representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.10 constitute the
sole representations and warranties of Descartes relating to infringement,
misappropriation or other violations of Intellectual Property.

Section 3.11    Registrations.
(a)    Section 3.11(a)(i) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule contains a list
as of January 4, 2017 of all Ag Active Registrations obtained, used or held for
use by Descartes or its Subsidiaries in any country where Descartes or any of
its Subsidiaries imports or sells any products of the Ag Business. Section
3.11(a)(ii) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule contains a list as of January
4, 2017 of all Registrations obtained, used or held for use by any third party
distributor or other Person in any country where neither Descartes nor any of
its Subsidiaries imports or sells any products of the Ag Business. The Ag Active
Registrations and the Ag Dormant Registrations are the only material
Registrations obtained, granted to, used or held for use by Descartes, any of
its Subsidiaries or any other Person relating to the operation or conduct of the
Ag Business. Section 3.11(a)(iii) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule contains
a list as of January 4, 2017 of all Pending Registrations.
(b)    The Ag Active Registrations constitute all of the material Registrations
necessary for the conduct of the Ag Business as currently conducted. Each Ag
Active Registration is free and clear of Liens and third party rights to access
or reference such Registrations, in each case, other than non-transferrable
rights to use Registrations granted pursuant to distributor agreements entered
into in the ordinary course of business and limited to the term of such
distributor agreement. The Ag Active Registrations are valid and in full force
and effect and no Ag Active Registration is in need of maintenance fee or
renewal within six (6) months of the Closing Date.
(c)    The Acquired Ag Data Package is sufficient to maintain the Ag Active
Registrations in the manner such Registrations are maintained by Descartes in
the ordinary course of business, and Descartes either owns, co-owns or licenses
all such Registration Data. Section 3.11(c) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule
sets forth those data requirements not yet fulfilled (if any) which have been
specifically requested by any Governmental Entity (as opposed to a regulatory
announcement of general applicability), requiring Descartes or any of its
Subsidiaries to submit data, studies or other information in order to maintain
any Ag Active Registration. Neither Descartes

-73-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

nor any of its Subsidiaries has granted any letters of access, license or other
form of citation rights to any of the Registration Data included in the Acquired
Ag Data Package.
(d)    Section 3.11(d) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of
January 4, 2017, with regard to the Transferred Ag Registration Data, all
pending offers to pay data compensation under FIFRA, agreements resolving past
offers (since January 1, 2014) to pay data compensation under FIFRA, and
arbitration decisions related to past offers (since January 1, 2014) to pay data
compensation under FIFRA.

Section 3.12    Real Property.
(a)    Section 3.12(a) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true
and complete list of (i) all material Ag Leased Real Property and (ii) all Ag
Owned Real Property.
(b)    Each of the leases and subleases pursuant to which Descartes or any of
its Subsidiaries leases the Acquired Ag Leased Real Property (the “Acquired Ag
Real Property Leases”) is valid, binding and in full force and effect, subject
to General Enforceability Exceptions. Each of the Acquired Ag Real Property
Leases is without default thereunder by the lessee and to the Knowledge of
Descartes, there is no default thereunder by the lessor, and there are no
outstanding defaults or circumstances which, upon the giving of notice or
passage of time or both, would constitute a default or breach by either party
under any Acquired Ag Real Property Lease, except in each case where the failure
to comply or the default would not constitute an Ag Business Material Adverse
Effect. True and complete copies of all Acquired Ag Real Property Leases that
are material to the Ag Business have been provided by Descartes to Fermat prior
to the date of this Agreement, including all amendments or modifications thereof
and all side letters or other instruments affecting the obligations of any party
thereunder. None of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries holds any leasehold or
subleasehold estate in any land, buildings, structures, improvements or fixtures
other than the Acquired Ag Real Property Leases.
(c)    Descartes has valid title to all Acquired Ag Owned Real Property, free
and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. None of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries owns any real property other than the Acquired Ag Owned Real
Property. To the Knowledge of Descartes, neither Descartes nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received within the three (3)-year period prior to the date of
this Agreement written notice of any default under any restrictive covenants
affecting the Acquired Ag Owned Real Property, and there has not occurred any
event that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute such a default under any such restrictive covenants, in each case
except as would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Ag Business.

business) to which Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which
Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries is bound to the extent related to the Ag

purchase price, indemnification or other contingent payment obligation;
(v)    any Contract containing covenants that would restrict or limit the
ability of the Ag Business or Fermat or any of its Affiliates after the Closing

(xv)    any Contract that involves an option to purchase, right of first refusal
or other preferential right to acquire any assets or property interest.
(b)    Each Ag Material Contract is valid, binding and enforceable against
Descartes and/or its Subsidiaries party thereto and, to the Knowledge of
Descartes, the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms, in each case,
subject to General Enforceability Exceptions, and is in full force and effect,
except where such failure to be so valid, binding, enforceable or in full force
and effect would not be material to the Ag Business. Neither Descartes (or its
applicable Subsidiary) nor, to the Knowledge of Descartes, any other party to an
Ag Material Contract is in material breach or violation of, or material default
under, any Ag Material Contract and no event has occurred that with notice or
lapse of time or both would constitute a material breach or default. As of the
date of this Agreement, there exists no actual or threatened (in writing)
termination, cancellation or material limitation of, or any material amendment,
material modification or material change to, any Ag Material Contract, other
than as set forth in Section 3.13(b) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule.
(c)    Prior to the date hereof, Descartes has made available to Fermat an

Contracts shall be deemed an Ag Material Contract under this Agreement).

Section 3.14    Compliance with Applicable Laws; Permits.
(a)    Other than with respect to any Excluded Ag Asset or Retained Ag
Liabilities, Descartes is not, and at no time since January 1, 2014 has been, in
material violation of any Law applicable to the conduct of the Ag Business. As
of the date of this Agreement, none of Descartes or its Subsidiaries (each in
respect of the Ag Business) has, since January 1, 2014, received any written
notification from any Governmental Entity that it is subject to any outstanding
injunction, writ, Judgment, order or decree or asserting that Descartes is not

except as would not be material to the Ag Business.
(b)    Since January 1, 2012, none of Descartes or its Subsidiaries, or to the

services, to obtain favorable treatment in securing business to obtain special

decision of a foreign government official or other person; or (vi) engaged in
any transaction or dealing in property or interests in property of, received
from or made any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit
of, provided any payments or material assistance to, or otherwise engage in or

the preceding subsections (ii)(A) and (ii)(B) of this Section 3.14(c) from
occurring (which requirement has not been waived by such Governmental Entity or
satisfied) except, in the case of each of clause (i) and clause (ii), as would
not constitute an Ag Business Material Adverse Effect. From and after the
Closing Date, Descartes and its Affiliates shall not initiate or prosecute,
directly or indirectly, any Proceedings challenging the Ag Business Permits to
the extent relating to the operation of the Ag Business.
(d)    This Section 3.14 does not relate to matters with respect to Taxes, Ag
Benefit Plans or, except for Section 3.14(c) with respect to Ag Business
Environmental Permits, Environmental Laws, such items being exclusively governed

Hazardous Substances, (i) Descartes has made available to Fermat relevant
environmental sampling data and material environmental reports, to the extent in
the possession of Descartes, with respect to Contamination relating to the
Acquired Ag Assets or the Ag Business, provided that such representation only

(j)    Any other representation or warranty contained in this Article III
notwithstanding, the representations and warranties contained in this Section
3.17 constitute the sole representations and warranties of Descartes relating to
Ag Benefit Plans.

Section 3.18    Intercompany Arrangements. Except for any Contracts that are
neither material in amount in relation to the Ag Business nor necessary for
Fermat to conduct the Ag Business in all material respects as it is conducted as
of the date of this Agreement, and other than the Ag Acquisition Documents and
the Contracts contemplated thereby, Section 3.18 of the Descartes Disclosure
Schedule lists all Contracts and all Liabilities between or among a Transferred
Ag Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Descartes and/or its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the conduct of the Ag Business or

Section 3.19    Import/Export Compliance. The Ag Business has not, since
January 1, 2014, been the subject of any Proceeding, or, to the Knowledge of
Descartes, any investigation or other inquiry, concerning imports, exports,
re-exports, sanctions, embargoes or unlawful boycotts or subject to civil or
criminal penalties imposed by a Governmental Entity as would constitute an Ag
Business Material Adverse Effect. Descartes has made available to Fermat all
voluntary disclosures with respect to violations or alleged violations of the
Export Control Laws made in the last three years.

Section 3.20    Product Liability and Product Warranty.
(a)    Descartes has no material Liability (and to the Knowledge of Descartes,
there is no basis for any present or future Proceeding against it giving rise to
any material Liability) arising out of any injury to individuals or property as
a result of the ownership, possession, or use of any product manufactured, sold,
leased, or delivered by the Ag Business during the last five (5) years. None of
the products sold or services provided by the Ag Business has been the subject,
voluntarily or involuntarily, of any product recall, market withdrawal, safety
warning, service bulletin or similar notice during the last five (5) years nor,
to the Knowledge of Descartes, is there any basis therefor.
(b)    During the last five (5) years, each product manufactured, sold, leased,
or delivered by the Ag Business was at all times when such actions occurred in
conformance with all applicable contractual obligations, including all
applicable express and implied warranties, in all material respects. Descartes
has no material liability for replacement or repair thereof or other damages in
connection therewith. No product manufactured, leased, or delivered by the Ag
Business is subject to any guarantee, warranty or other indemnity beyond the
applicable terms and conditions of sale.

Customers that may expire in the ordinary course of business or may be

reduction is likely to occur. As of the date of this Agreement, no Ag Ingredient
Customer has terminated its relationship with the Ag Business or threatened in

(iii) the manufacturer which performs the final crystallization step for

Material Suppliers that may expire in the ordinary course of business or may be
terminated by such Ag Material Supplier without cause on less than ninety-one
(91) days’ prior notice without material penalties imposed on the terminating
Person in accordance with its terms, all Ag Material Suppliers continue to be
suppliers of the Ag Business. No Ag Material Supplier has materially reduced or
disclosed to Descartes an intention to materially reduce its business with the
Ag Business from the levels achieved during such period, and, to the Knowledge
of Descartes, there is no reason to believe that any such material reduction is
likely to occur. As of the date of this Agreement, no Ag Material Supplier has
terminated its relationship with the Ag Business or threatened in writing to do
so. Descartes is not involved in any claim, dispute or controversy with (i) any
Ag Material Supplier or (ii) any of its other suppliers of the Ag Business that
could be material to the Ag Business. To the Knowledge of Descartes, no Ag
Material Supplier has given any indication that it will not be willing or able
to continue supplying such goods or services to the Ag Business (or to Fermat
following the Closing) in the future.

Formulated Product Customer without cause on less than ninety-one (91) days’
prior notice without material penalties imposed on the terminating Person in
accordance with its terms, all Ag Formulated Product Customers continue to be
distributors of the Ag Business. No Ag Formulated Product Customer has
materially reduced or disclosed to Descartes an intention to materially reduce
its business with the Ag Business below the levels achieved during such period,
and, to the Knowledge of Descartes, there is no reason to believe that any such
material reduction is likely to occur. As of the date of this Agreement, no Ag
Formulated Product Customer has terminated its relationship with the Ag Business
or threatened in writing to do so. Descartes is not involved in any claim,
dispute or controversy with (i) any Ag Formulated Product Customer or (ii) any
of its other distributors of the Ag Business that could be material to the Ag
Business.

Section 3.22    Brokers. Other than Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Evercore Group
L.L.C., whose fees, costs and expenses, with respect to the transactions

of, or the use by any of its Affiliates or Representatives of any such

the foregoing, Descartes acknowledges and agrees that neither Fermat nor any of
its Subsidiaries or any other Person has made a representation or warranty
(including as to completeness or accuracy) to Descartes with respect to, and
neither Fermat nor any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person shall be subject
to any liability to Descartes or any other Person resulting from, Fermat or its
Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives making available to Descartes,

State of Delaware and has all necessary organizational power and authority to
carry on the H&N Business as presently conducted. Each of the Transferred H&N
Subsidiaries and any other Subsidiary of Fermat that is a party to any
Acquisition Document is a corporation, partnership or other legal entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept or
any similar concept is recognized) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable, except where the
failure to be in good standing or to be so organized and existing would not
constitute a H&N Business Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.2    Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Each of Fermat
and its Subsidiaries party to any Acquisition Document has all requisite power
and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Acquisition
Document to which it is a party and to consummate the Acquisitions and the other

stockholders, members, partners or equityholders of Fermat and its Subsidiaries)
are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance in accordance
with their respective terms of this Agreement and the Acquisition Documents and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Fermat has
duly executed and delivered this Agreement and the French Offer Letter and at
the Closing Fermat, as applicable, and its applicable Subsidiaries will have
executed and delivered each other Acquisition Document to which it is a party,
and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party

Fermat and/or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to General Enforceability Exceptions.

Section 4.3    Transferred H&N Subsidiaries.
(a)    Each of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries has the requisite power and
authority to carry on its respective business as it is presently being conducted
and to own, lease or operate its respective properties and assets. None of the

stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, any Person (or any security or
other right, agreement or commitment convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for, any equity or voting interest in any Person). The Transferred

interest in, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, any of the Transferred
H&N Subsidiaries, (iii) obligations of Fermat or any of the Transferred H&N
Subsidiaries to grant, extend or enter into any subscription, warrant, right,

or other equity or voting interest (including any voting debt) in any of the
Transferred H&N Subsidiaries, (iv) outstanding restricted shares, restricted
share units, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, contingent value
rights, “phantom” stock or similar securities or rights that are derivative of,

Subsidiary Securities.

Section 4.4    No Conflicts; Consents.
(a)    Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
Fermat nor the execution, delivery and performance of the Acquisition Documents

January 1, 2014, been the subject of any Proceeding, or, to the Knowledge of
Fermat, any investigation or other inquiry, concerning imports, exports,
re-exports, sanctions, embargoes or unlawful boycotts or subject to civil or

Business Material Adverse Effect. Fermat has made available to Descartes all
voluntary disclosures with respect to violations or alleged violations of the
Export Control Laws made in the last three years.

Section 4.20    Product Liability and Product Warranty.

leased, or delivered by the H&N Business during the last five (5) years. None of
the products sold or services provided by the H&N Business has been the subject,
voluntarily or involuntarily, of any product recall, market withdrawal, safety
warning, service bulletin or similar notice (including with respect to any
product that may have been adulterated or misbranded under the Federal Food,

materially reduced or disclosed to Fermat an intention to materially reduce its
business with the H&N Business below the levels achieved during such period,

material reduction is likely to occur. As of the date of this Agreement, no H&N
Material Customer has terminated its relationship with the H&N Business or
threatened in writing to do so. Fermat is not involved in any claim, dispute or

than Contracts with H&N Material Suppliers that may expire in the ordinary
course of business or may be terminated by such H&N Material Supplier without
cause on less than ninety-one (91) days’ prior notice without material penalties
imposed on the terminating Person in accordance with its terms, all H&N Material
Suppliers continue to be suppliers of the H&N Business. No H&N Material Supplier
has materially reduced or disclosed to Fermat an intention to materially reduce
its business with the H&N Business from the levels achieved during such period,
and, to the Knowledge of Fermat, there is no reason to believe that any such
material reduction is likely to occur. As of the date of this Agreement, no H&N
Material Supplier has terminated its relationship with the H&N Business or

Business. No H&N Material Distributor has materially reduced or disclosed to
Fermat an intention to materially reduce its business with the H&N Business
below the levels achieved during such period, and, to the Knowledge of Fermat,
there is no reason to believe that any such material reduction is likely to
occur. As of the date of

the H&N Business or threatened in writing to do so. Fermat is not involved in
any claim, dispute or controversy with (i) any H&N Material Distributor or
(ii) any of its other distributors of the H&N Business that could be material to

the H&N Business, (b) Fermat and the H&N Business have obtained and are in
compliance with all Permits pursuant to Healthcare Laws required for the

conducted, and that such permits may be transferred or re-issued in the ordinary
course to Descartes without any material adverse impact on the business,
(c) there are no Proceedings pending against Fermat alleging a violation of
Healthcare Laws with respect to the Acquired H&N Assets or the H&N Business nor
are there any ongoing obligations required from the prior resolution of any
alleged violation of Healthcare Laws, (d) Fermat has not received any written
notification or communication from any Governmental Entity (including any
inspection reports on Form 483, FDA warning letters or FDA untitled letters) of
noncompliance with any Healthcare Law, (e) since January 1, 2015, Fermat has not
received any written notice from any Person concerning any actual or alleged
violation of Healthcare Law or of any Liabilities or potential Liabilities
(including any investigatory, remedial, or corrective obligations) relating to
the operation of the H&N Business arising under or in connection with Healthcare
Law; (f) prior to the date hereof, Fermat has made available to Descartes true
and accurate copies of all material reports, audits, data, investigations,

maintained or furnished to the FDA or any other Governmental Entity
(collectively, “Healthcare Regulatory Filings”) have been so filed, maintained

furnish such reports, documents, Permits or notices would not constitute a H&N
Business Material Adverse Effect, (h) all such Healthcare Regulatory Filings
were complete and accurate in all material respects on the date filed (or were
corrected in or supplemented by a subsequent filing) and (i) neither Fermat nor
any Fermat officer, employee, agent or distributor has made an untrue statement

Governmental Entity or failed to disclose a material fact required to be
disclosed to the FDA or any other Governmental Entity.

Section 4.24    Financial Capability.
(a)    Fermat has delivered to Descartes a true, complete and correct copy of
(i) the executed commitment letter from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the
“Lenders”), dated the date hereof and (ii) the fee letter related thereto, dated
as of the date hereof (provided, however, that the fee amounts, pricing caps and
other economic terms, and the rates and amounts included in the “market flex”
provisions (but not covenants), may be redacted, none of which redacted
provisions could adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability,
termination or aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing (as defined
below)), pursuant to which the Lenders have committed, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth therein, to provide or cause to be provided debt financing
(the “Debt Financing”) to Fermat and certain of its Subsidiaries in the amounts
described therein (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Debt Commitment
Letter”).
(b)    As of the date of this Agreement, other than as expressly set forth in
the Debt Commitment Letter, the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment
Letter is not subject to any condition precedent to the availability of such
financing. As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter (i) is
in full force and effect, (ii) constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Fermat and, to the Knowledge of Fermat, the other parties thereto
and (iii) has not been modified, amended or supplemented in any respect and the
commitments contained in the Debt Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn,
rescinded, terminated or repudiated, and, to the Knowledge of Fermat, no such
withdrawal, rescission, termination or repudiation is contemplated. As of the
date of this Agreement, Fermat is not in breach of any of its covenants or other
obligations set forth in, and is not in default under, the Debt Commitment
Letter, nor does Fermat have Knowledge of any breach of the Debt Commitment
Letter by any of the other parties thereto, and, to the Knowledge of Fermat, no
event has occurred or circumstance exists that, with or without notice, lapse of
time or both, would or would reasonably be likely to (A) constitute or result in
a breach or default on the part of any Person under the Debt Commitment Letter,
or (B) otherwise result in any portion of the Debt Financing not being available
on the Closing Date. Assuming the accuracy of Descartes’s representations and
warranties set forth in Article III and Descartes’s compliance with its
agreements hereunder, in each case such that the conditions in Section 7.2 would
be satisfied, Fermat, as of the date of this Agreement, has no reason to believe
that it will be unable to satisfy any of the terms or conditions required to be
satisfied by it in the Debt Commitment Letter on or prior to the Closing Date.
As of the date of this Agreement, Fermat has fully paid any and all commitment
fees or other fees required by the Debt Commitment Letter to be paid on or
before the date of this Agreement.
(c)    The Debt Financing, when funded in accordance with the Debt Commitment
Letter, would provide Fermat and certain of its Subsidiaries with cash proceeds
on the Closing Date (after netting out applicable fees and expenses) that, when
taken together with cash, cash equivalents and other current financial assets
and other immediately available funds, will be sufficient for the

-107-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

satisfaction of Fermat’s payment obligations under this Agreement (including
payment of the Cash Balancing Amount) that are due and payable as of such date.

Section 4.25    No Other Representations or Warranties.
(a)    Except for the representations and warranties contained in this
Article IV, in the Fermat Certificates or in an Acquisition Document, none of
Fermat or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or
Representatives makes (and Fermat, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries, and
their respective Affiliates and Representatives, hereby disclaims) any express
or implied representation or warranty with respect to Fermat or its
Subsidiaries, the Acquired H&N Assets, the H&N Business or with respect to the
accuracy or completeness of any other information provided, or made available,
to Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby. None of Fermat or its Subsidiaries or any
other Person will have or be subject to any Liabilities to Descartes, its
Affiliates, agents or representatives or any Person resulting from Descartes’s
use of, or the use by any of its Affiliates or Representatives of any such
information, including information, documents, projections, forecasts or other
material made available to Descartes, its Affiliates or Representatives in any
“data rooms,” teaser, confidential information memorandum or management
presentations in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, unless any such information is expressly and specifically included in
a representation or warranty contained in this Article IV, in the Fermat
Certificates or in an Acquisition Document. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement and without limiting the foregoing, none of
Fermat, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives makes any express
or implied representation or warranty with respect to Excluded H&N Assets or
Retained H&N Liabilities.
(b)    Fermat acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and
warranties in Article III, the Descartes Certificates and the Acquisition
Documents, neither Descartes nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any other Person,
has made any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the
Acquired Ag Assets, the Ag Business or with respect to the accuracy or
completeness of any other information provided, or made available, to Fermat or
any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and Fermat has not relied on any representation or warranty
other than those contained in Article III, the Descartes Certificates and the
Acquisition Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Fermat

any other Person has made a representation or warranty (including as to
completeness or accuracy) to Fermat with respect to, and neither Descartes nor
any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person shall be subject to any liability to
Fermat or any other Person resulting from, Descartes or its Subsidiaries or
their respective Representatives making available to Fermat, (i) any
projections, estimates or budgets for the Ag Business, or (ii) any materials,
documents or information relating to Descartes or its Subsidiaries, the Acquired
Ag Assets or the Ag Business made available to Fermat or its

(i)    Fermat and Descartes shall each keep the other apprised of the status of
matters relating to the completion of the Acquisitions and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and work cooperatively in connection
with obtaining all required Ag Regulatory Approvals and H&N Regulatory

writing of) any communication from or with any Governmental Entity regarding the
Acquisitions and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and
permit the other party to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good
faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed
communication (whether written or oral) with any such Governmental Entity. If
either party or any Representative of such party receives a request for
additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with
respect to either of the Acquisitions or the other transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, then such party will use its reasonable best efforts to make, or
cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other party, an
appropriate response in compliance with such request. Neither party hereto nor
its Representatives shall participate in any substantive meeting or discussion
with any Governmental Entity or representative thereof in connection with this
Agreement, either of the Acquisitions or any of the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (or make oral submissions at meetings or in
telephone or other conversations) unless it consults with the other party in

memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and any such
Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement, either of the Acquisitions
or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and furnish the
other party with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the
other party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of filings
or submissions of information to any such Governmental Entity. Fermat and
Descartes may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any

shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not
be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the
recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of
the materials (Fermat or Descartes, as the case may be); provided that materials

applicable, draft form) or registrations to obtain the Ag Regulatory Approvals
and H&N Regulatory Approvals, in each case as required for the transactions

(iii)    Fermat and Descartes shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate
with each other in (A) determining whether any filings are required to be made
with, or consents, permits, authorizations, waivers or approvals are required to
be obtained from, any third parties or other Governmental Entities under any
other applicable Antitrust Law in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (including any post-Closing filings) and (B) timely making all such
filings and timely seeking all such consents, permits, authorizations or
approvals;

efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any
Governmental Entity with respect to the Ag Acquisition, the H&N Acquisition, or
any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust
Laws. In connection therewith, if any Proceeding, audit, review, inquiry,
examination, or investigation (“Action”) is instituted (or threatened to be
instituted) challenging any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
as violative of any Antitrust Laws, each of Fermat and Descartes shall cooperate
and use their respective reasonable best efforts to vigorously contest and
resist any such Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any
Judgment whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that
prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Ag Acquisition, the H&N
Acquisition, or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including by vigorously pursuing all available avenues of administrative and
judicial appeal.
(v)    Fermat shall, at Fermat’s sole cost, use its reasonable best efforts to
take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions and do, or cause to be done, any
and all things necessary, proper or advisable to avoid, eliminate and resolve
each and every impediment and obtain all Ag Regulatory Approvals in connection
with the consummation of the Ag Acquisition, as promptly as practicable, and all
H&N Regulatory Approvals in connection with the consummation of the H&N
Acquisition, as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fermat
shall proffer to, and shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (A) sell or
otherwise dispose of, or hold separate and agree to sell or otherwise dispose of
specific assets or categories of assets or businesses constituting the Acquired
Ag Assets or any other assets or businesses now owned or presently or hereafter
sought to be acquired by Fermat or its Subsidiaries; (B) terminate any existing
relationships and contractual rights and obligations; (C) amend or terminate
such existing licenses or other intellectual property agreements and enter into
such new licenses or other intellectual property agreements (and, in each case,
enter into agreements with the relevant Governmental Entity giving effect
thereto); (D) take any and all actions and make any and all behavioral
commitments, whether or not they limit or modify Fermat’s or its Subsidiaries’
rights of ownership in, or ability to conduct the business of, one or more of
its or their operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers or
assets, including, after the Closing, the Ag Business or any of the Acquired Ag
Assets; and (E) enter into agreements, including with the relevant Governmental
Entity, giving effect to the foregoing clauses (A) through (D), in each case as
promptly as practicable (but in any event prior to the Outside Date)

after it is determined that such action is necessary to obtain approval for
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any
Governmental Entity. In furtherance of the foregoing, Fermat shall, and shall
cause its Subsidiaries to, keep Descartes fully informed of all matters,
discussions and activities relating to any of the matters described in or
contemplated by clauses (A) through (E) of this Section 5.1(b)(v);
(vi)    Without limiting Section 5.1(b)(v) in any respect, subject to the
proviso in the next succeeding sentence, Descartes shall, at Descartes’s sole
cost, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any and all
actions and do, or cause to be done, any and all things necessary, proper or
advisable to avoid, eliminate and resolve each and every impediment and obtain
all H&N Regulatory Approvals in connection with the consummation of the H&N
Acquisition, as promptly as practicable, and all Ag Regulatory Approvals in
connection with the consummation of the Ag Acquisition, as promptly as
practicable. In furtherance of the foregoing, Descartes shall proffer to, and
shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (A) sell or otherwise dispose of, or
hold separate and agree to sell or otherwise dispose of specific assets or
categories of assets or businesses constituting the Acquired H&N Assets or any
other assets or businesses now owned or presently or hereafter sought to be
acquired by Descartes or its Subsidiaries; (B) terminate any existing
relationships and contractual rights and obligations; (C) amend or terminate
such existing licenses or other intellectual property agreements and enter into
such new licenses or other intellectual property agreements (and, in each case,
enter into agreements with the relevant Governmental Entity giving effect
thereto); (D) take any and all actions and make any and all behavioral
commitments, whether or not they limit or modify Descartes’s or its
Subsidiaries’ rights of ownership in, or ability to conduct the business of, one
or more of its or their operations, divisions, businesses, product lines,
customers or assets, including, after the Closing, the H&N Business or any of
the Acquired H&N Assets; and (E) enter into agreements, including with the
relevant Governmental Entity, giving effect to the foregoing clauses (A) through
(D), in each case as promptly as practicable (but in any event prior to the
Outside Date) after it is determined that such action is necessary to obtain
approval for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by
any Governmental Entity (the actions described in clauses (A) through (E),
collectively, the (“H&N Divestiture Actions”); provided, however, that in no
event shall Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries be required to take any H&N
Divestiture Action if such H&N Divestiture Action, taken together with all other
H&N Divestiture Actions undertaken with respect to the matters contemplated by
this Section 5.1(b)(vi) (and not undertaken with respect to the Ag Acquisition
or in connection with obtaining any Ag Regulatory Approvals) would reasonably be
likely to result in the one-year loss of revenues to Descartes, DowDuPont Inc.,
their respective Subsidiaries or the H&N Business (as measured by annual
revenues in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016) in excess of $350 million
in the aggregate (such a result, a (“Substantial Detriment”). In furtherance of
the foregoing, Descartes shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, keep Fermat
fully informed of all matters,

(ii)    Subject to Section 5.8(a), during the period prior to the Closing Date,
Descartes shall make the Ag Business Employees available to Fermat for the
purpose of collecting information necessary (A) to determine the scope of duties

or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are adverse parties in a
Proceeding and such information is reasonably pertinent thereto (other than a
Proceeding with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement) or
(C) if such party reasonably determines in good faith that such information is
competitively sensitive; provided, that in the case of clause (A) above,
Descartes shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consents
or take such other action (such as the entry into a joint defense agreement or
other arrangement to avoid loss of attorney client privilege) to permit such
access or disclosure; provided, further, that in the case of clause (C) above,
Descartes shall use its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information to
Fermat through a “clean team” or other arrangement designed to protect the

thereto (other than a Proceeding with respect to a claim for indemnification
under this Agreement) or (C) if such party reasonably determines in good faith
that such information is competitively sensitive; provided that, in the case of
clause (A) above Fermat shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any
required consents or take such other action (such as the entry into a joint
defense agreement or other arrangement to avoid loss of attorney client
privilege) to permit such access or disclosure. Without limiting the generality

consultants, internal and external legal counsel, financial advisors, tax
advisors and other representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice
during normal business hours, consistent with applicable Law, during the period
prior to the Closing Date, to the properties, books, Contracts, records and
personnel of Fermat and its Subsidiaries Related to the H&N Business, and shall
and shall cause its Subsidiaries to make available to Descartes, during the
period prior to the Closing Date, such other available information concerning
its business, properties and personnel as Descartes may reasonably request,

Subsidiaries, in each case upon reasonable notice during normal business hours,
consistent with applicable Law; provided that prior to the Closing Date,

in this Agreement, neither Fermat nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to
disclose any information: (A) if doing so would violate any written obligation
of confidentiality to which it or any of its Affiliates is subject or, upon the
advice of counsel, would jeopardize attorney-client privilege or contravene any
Laws, (B) if Fermat or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Descartes
or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are adverse parties in a
Proceeding and such information is reasonably pertinent thereto (other than a
Proceeding with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement) or
(C) if such party reasonably determines in good faith that such information is
competitively sensitive; provided, that in the case of clause (A) above, Fermat
shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consents or take
such other action (such as the entry into a joint defense agreement or other
arrangement to avoid loss of attorney client privilege) to permit such access or
disclosure; provided, further, that in the case of clause (C) above, Fermat

Descartes nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to disclose any
information: (A) if doing so

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

each other for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (other than officers’ or
employees’ salaries) incurred by the other in connection with providing

to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing
(A) either party may make or cause to be made any press release or similar
public announcement or communication as may be required to comply with the
requirements of any applicable Laws or the rules and regulations of each stock
exchange upon which the securities of one of the parties (or its ultimate parent

Affiliates) may disclose any information concerning the transactions
contemplated hereby which it deems appropriate in its reasonable judgment, in
light of Fermat’s and Descartes’s status as publicly owned companies, including
to securities analysts and institutional investors and in press interviews;
provided, that in the case of Descartes with respect to the Ag Business (except

party’s intended communication and (2) considers in good faith modifications to
the intended communication that are requested by the other party.

Section 5.8    Ag Employee Matters.
(a)    Treatment of Ag Business Employees. Fermat shall (or shall cause its
Subsidiaries to) (i) continue the employment at and after the Closing of each
Transferred Ag Subsidiary Employee and each Automatic Transfer Ag Business
Employee who does not object to their transfer pursuant to Section 5.8(b) and
(ii) within a reasonable period of time (but not fewer than thirty (30) days)
prior to the Closing Date, make an offer consistent with the Approved Employment
Terms to employ each Non-Automatic Transfer Ag Business Employee commencing as
of the Closing Date with Fermat or one of its Subsidiaries or a Transferred Ag
Subsidiary on terms consistent with this Section 5.8 (provided, that any Ag
Business Employee who is an Inactive Ag Employee on the date such employment
offers are made by Fermat or its Subsidiaries shall receive an offer of
employment in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, Section 5.8(e)
below). Descartes shall cooperate in good faith to ensure that, not later than
immediately prior to the Closing Date, no employee of Descartes and its
Affiliates is employed by a Transferred Ag Subsidiary other than Ag Business
Employees. Descartes shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with
Fermat to, upon request by Fermat, enter, or cause its applicable Affiliate to
enter, into a tri-partite agreement to memorialize the termination or
resignation or assignment of the employment relationship of International Ag
Business Employees with Fermat or its Affiliate.
(b)    The parties acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement insofar as they relate to Automatic Transfer Ag Business
Employees will constitute the automatic transfer of such employees, their
contracts of employment and all rights and obligations associated with such
contracts of employment to Fermat or its Subsidiary or a Transferred Ag
Subsidiary by operation of Law unless the applicable employee objects to the
transfer. If it is found or alleged that any Automatic Transfer Ag Business
Employee does not automatically transfer to Fermat or its relevant Subsidiary,
Fermat or its relevant Subsidiary may (or may cause its relevant Subsidiary to)
make an offer to such Automatic Transfer Ag Business Employee on the terms set
forth in Section 5.8(a); provided that, offers of employment to such employees
shall (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.8(f)) be on terms
that would have applied had such employee transferred by operation of Law
pursuant to the Transfer Regulations.
(c)    As used herein, “Transferred Ag Business Employee” means (i) each
Transferred Ag Subsidiary Employee whose employment is continued at and after
the Closing pursuant to Section 5.8(a), (ii) each Non-Automatic Transfer Ag
Business Employee, or if applicable, Automatic Transfer Ag Business Employee,
who accepts Fermat’s offer of employment pursuant to Section 5.8(a) and (iii)
each Automatic Transfer Ag Business Employee whose employment automatically
transfers pursuant to Section 5.8(b).
(d)    As of the Closing, Descartes shall ensure that each Transferred Ag
Business Employee is released from employment with Descartes or its Affiliates,
and from any post-

-129-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

termination or employment restrictions that would prohibit or restrict such
employee from performing his or her duties for Fermat, a Transferred Ag
Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of any of them with effect from the Closing (or, in
the case of Inactive Ag Employees, such later date of commencement of employment
with Fermat, a Transferred Ag Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of any of them).
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Descartes shall take any
and all actions necessary to ensure that (i) the employment of Inactive Ag
Employees does not transfer to Fermat as of the Closing, (ii) following the
Closing, each Inactive Ag Employee remains eligible for any Descartes Benefit
Plan in which he or she participates as of the Closing subject to the terms and
conditions of such Descartes Benefit Plan, and (iii) Descartes and its
Subsidiaries retain, and are solely responsible for, all Liabilities with
respect to each such Inactive Ag Employee for the period prior to the date such
individual becomes a Transferred Ag Business Employee in accordance with the
terms hereof. Provided that an Inactive Ag Employee is willing and able to
return to active service within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the
Closing Date (or such longer period as required by applicable Law), Fermat shall
(or shall cause its Subsidiary to), not later than ten (10) days prior to, and
effective as of, such Inactive Ag Employee’s scheduled return date, make an
offer to employ such Inactive Ag Employee on terms consistent with Section
5.8(a). Effective as of the date on which an Inactive Ag Employee commences
employment with Fermat or its Subsidiary, such Inactive Ag Employee shall be
treated as a Transferred Ag Business Employee for all purposes under this
Agreement, and, as they relate to such Inactive Ag Employee (including the
assets and Liabilities assumed in respect of such Inactive Ag Employee in
accordance with Section 2.3, Section 2.4, Section 2.5, and Section 2.6),
references in this Agreement to the “Closing” or the “Closing Date” (other than
such references in Section 5.8(f)) shall be deemed to refer to the date on which
such Inactive Ag Employee commences employment with Fermat or one of its
Subsidiaries.
(f)    With respect to each Transferred Ag Business Employee, Fermat shall
provide (or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to provide), during the
Benefit Continuation Period, for so long as such Transferred Ag Business
Employee remains employed by Fermat or one of its Subsidiaries during the
Benefit Continuation Period, compensation and benefits consistent with the
Approved Employment Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be
construed as a guarantee of employment for a certain period of time by Fermat or
its Subsidiaries for Transferred Ag Business Employees.
(g)    Fermat will or will cause its applicable Subsidiary to recognize each
Transferred Ag Business Employee’s seniority date with Descartes or its
Affiliates under its compensation and fringe benefit programs (where such date
is relevant) consistent with Fermat’s treatment of employees generally. As of
and after the Closing, Fermat shall provide to each Transferred Ag Business
Employee full service credit for all purposes under each employee benefit

-130-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

plan, policy or arrangement sponsored or maintained by Fermat or any of its
Affiliates for such Transferred Ag Business Employee (the “Fermat Benefit
Plans”) as of and after the Closing, for such Transferred Ag Business Employee’s
service on and prior to the Closing with Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries,
to the same extent such service is recognized by Fermat and its Affiliates under
the Fermat Benefit Plans; provided that such service shall not be credited for
purposes of benefit accrual under any Fermat Benefit Plan that is a defined
benefit pension plan or retiree medical plan or that provides grandfathered
benefits or to the extent such credit would result in any duplication of
compensation or benefits or the funding thereof.
(h)    Health Coverages. Fermat shall cause each Transferred Ag Business
Employee (and his or her “eligible dependents,” as defined in the Fermat Benefit
Plans) to be covered as of the Closing by a group health plan or plans that (i)
do not limit or exclude coverage on the basis of any pre-existing condition of
such Transferred Ag Business Employee or dependent (other than any limitation
already in effect under the applicable group health Ag Benefit Plan) or on the
basis of any other exclusion or waiting period not in effect under the
applicable group health Ag Benefit Plan, and (ii) provide each Transferred Ag
Business Employee full credit, for the year in which the Closing Date occurs,
for any deductible or co-payment already incurred by the Transferred Ag Business
Employee under the applicable group health Ag Benefit Plan and for any other
out-of-pocket expenses that count against any maximum out-of-pocket expense
provision of the applicable group health Ag Benefit Plan or Fermat’s group
health plans.
(i)    Severance. Fermat shall be responsible, or reimburse Descartes or its
applicable Subsidiary, for any severance, notice or other termination-related
payments or benefits required by applicable Law or local custom, Contract, Ag
Labor Agreement or Descartes Benefit Plan to be paid or provided to (i) any
Non-Automatic Transfer Ag Business Employee who rejects an offer of employment
from Fermat or one of its Subsidiaries or a Transferred Ag Subsidiary that does
not meet the requirements of Section 5.8(a) (or, in the case of any U.S. Ag
Business Employee, that offers employment more than fifty (50) miles from such
individual’s employment location with the Descartes Group) or (ii) any Automatic
Transfer Ag Business Employee who objects to the transfer of his or her
employment to Fermat or one of its Subsidiaries or a Transferred Ag Subsidiary
where such transfer would entail a material change to the Automatic Transfer Ag
Business Employee’s working conditions to his or her detriment or where Fermat
or its Subsidiary or a Transferred Ag Subsidiary fails to comply with the
Transfer Regulations. Descartes shall be responsible for any severance, notice
or other termination-related payments or benefits required by applicable Law or
local custom, Contract, Ag Labor Agreement or Descartes Benefit Plan to be paid
or provided by Descartes to any Non-Automatic Transfer Ag Business Employee who
accepts or rejects an offer of employment from Fermat or one of its Subsidiaries
or a Transferred Ag Subsidiary that meets the requirements of Section 5.8(a)
(and, in the case of any U.S. Ag Business Employee, that offers employment
within fifty (50) miles from such individual’s employment location with the
Descartes Group).

-131-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(j)    WARN. On or before the Closing, for each jurisdiction where the WARN Act
applies, Descartes shall provide a list, by site of employment, of any and all
employees of Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries located at any site of
employment where an Ag Business Employee is based who, within ninety (90) days
prior to the Closing, have experienced, or will experience, an employment loss
or layoff as defined by the WARN Act (the “Descartes WARN List”). Descartes
shall update this list up to and including the Closing. Fermat shall assume and
be solely responsible for any Liability under the WARN Act (including, but not
limited to, with respect to any individual included on the Descartes WARN List)
on or after the Closing Date as a result of Fermat’s or any of its Subsidiaries’
actions or omissions, including failure to serve sufficient notice pursuant to
the WARN Act.
(k)    Accrued Vacation Time. For each U.S. Ag Business Employee who becomes a
Transferred Ag Business Employee, Descartes (or its applicable Subsidiary) shall
pay any accrued unused vacation time, as of the Closing, on or timely following
the Closing Date. For each Automatic Transfer Ag Business Employee and each
other International Ag Business Employee who becomes a Transferred Ag Business
Employee, in addition to the requirements imposed by applicable Law and except
where prohibited by applicable Law, Fermat will or will cause its applicable
Subsidiary to recognize and assume the Liability with respect to accrued but
unused vacation time and Fermat (or its applicable Subsidiary) shall allow such
Transferred Ag Business Employees to use such vacation time in accordance with
the terms of Fermat’s (or its applicable Subsidiary’s) policies or programs;
provided, that such vacation time shall be banked and not subject to forfeiture
under such policies or programs. No later than thirty (30) days following the
Closing Date, Descartes shall provide Fermat with a schedule of each Transferred
Ag Business Employee’s accrued but unused vacation time that will transfer to
Fermat pursuant to this Section 5.8(k).
(l)    Ag Benefit Plans.
(i)    Unless specifically provided for in this Agreement, Fermat shall not
assume any obligations under or Liabilities with respect to, or receive any
right or interest in any trusts relating to, any assets of or any insurance,
administration or other contracts, or related obligations pertaining to, any Ag
Benefit Plan other than any Transferred Ag Benefit Plan. As of and following the
Closing, Fermat shall assume and honor each Transferred Ag Benefit Plan.
(ii)    Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all Ag
Business Employees as of the Closing Date and their eligible spouses and other
eligible dependents will cease, effective as of the Closing Date, any
participation in and any benefit accrual under each of the Ag Benefit Plans
other than the Transferred Ag Benefit Plans, and Descartes and its Affiliates
shall be authorized to take all necessary actions to effect such cessation. The
preceding sentence of this paragraph notwithstanding, Ag Business Employees,
their eligible spouses and other eligible dependents may continue after the
Closing Date to participate in accordance with, and subject to,

-132-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

their eligibility under the terms of the applicable Ag Benefit Plans (for the
avoidance of doubt, as terminated but vested employees or eligible spouses or
dependents thereof) in effect from time to time.
(m)    401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing, Fermat shall establish, and
Descartes shall reasonably cooperate with Fermat to establish, participation by
the Transferred Ag Business Employees in Fermat’s tax-qualified defined
contribution plan or plans with a cash or deferred feature (the “Fermat 401(k)
Plan”) for the benefit of each Transferred Ag Business Employee who, as of
immediately prior to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a tax-qualified
defined contribution plan with a cash or deferred feature maintained by
Descartes or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Descartes 401(k) Plans”). As
soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Descartes 401(k) Plans shall, to
the extent permitted by Section 401(k) of the Code, make distributions available
to Transferred Ag Business Employees, and the Fermat 401(k) Plan shall accept
any such distribution in cash as a rollover distribution if so directed by the
Transferred Ag Business Employee.
(n)    Flexible Spending Accounts. Fermat shall, with respect to each
Transferred Ag Business Employee, establish flexible spending accounts for
medical and dependent care expenses (the “Fermat FSA Accounts”) and shall credit
such accounts with the amount credited as of the Closing Date under comparable
accounts maintained under Ag Benefit Plans from the beginning of the plan year
to the Closing Date. Descartes shall, with respect to each Transferred Ag
Business Employee, provide for the transfer of the account balances (whether
positive or negative) under the Ag Benefit Plans that are medical and dependent
care flexible spending accounts to the Fermat FSA Accounts effective as of the
Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, (i) Descartes shall
pay, or cause to be paid, to Fermat in cash the amount, if any, by which
aggregate contributions made by Transferred Ag Business Employees to Descartes’s
or its Affiliates’ flexible spending accounts exceeded the aggregate benefits
provided to the Transferred Ag Business Employees as of the Closing, or (ii)
Fermat shall pay to Descartes in cash the amount, if any, by which aggregate
benefits provided to Transferred Ag Business Employees under Descartes’s or its
Affiliates’ flexible spending accounts exceeded the aggregate contributions made
by Transferred Ag Business Employees as of the Closing.
(o)    Bonuses. Neither Fermat nor its Subsidiaries shall assume or be
responsible for any Liabilities in relation to any incentive compensation plan
maintained in respect of Transferred Ag Business Employees (“Descartes Bonus
Programs”) to the extent such Liabilities relate to any annual, quarterly or
other temporal period (any such period, a “Performance Period”) that has ended
on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Descartes Prior Period Bonus”), and
Descartes and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for and shall pay all
Liabilities in relation to Descartes Prior Period Bonuses in the ordinary course
of business (but without regard to any continued service requirements, in
respect of periods subsequent to the Closing Date) and as determined in a manner

-133-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

consistent with historical practice. With respect to any Performance Period
during which the Closing Date occurs, at the sole discretion of Descartes,
either (i) Descartes or its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for and shall pay
as and when otherwise payable under the Descartes Bonus Programs all amounts
accrued (and all related Liabilities) under the Descartes Bonus Programs in
relation to the portion of such Performance Period that occurs before the
Closing, which amounts shall be based on actual performance (or, in the case of
individual performance metrics, at the target level of performance) and be
otherwise determined reasonably and in a manner consistent with historical
practice; or (ii) no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the
Closing Date, Descartes or its applicable Affiliate shall pay any
performance-based quarterly, annual or other temporal period bonus for the
performance period in which the Closing occurs, prorated through the Closing, to
each Transferred Ag Business Employee who is or would be eligible to receive
such a bonus for such performance period under any Ag Benefit Plan pursuant to
the terms thereof; provided that any applicable performance metrics shall be
deemed satisfied as if target performance had been achieved.
(p)    Retention Program. Descartes shall establish a cash-based retention
program for the benefit of Ag Business Employees to promote retention and to
incentivize efforts to consummate the Closing (the “Ag Retention Program”)
consistent with the terms set forth in Section 5.8(p) of the Descartes
Disclosure Schedule. Descartes or its Subsidiaries shall be solely responsible
for any Liability arising under the Ag Retention Program.
(q)    Descartes Equity Awards. From and after the Closing, Descartes and its
Affiliates will assume or retain, as the case may be, and be solely responsible
for and will fully perform, pay and discharge, in accordance with their terms,
all Liabilities in respect of Transferred Ag Business Employees with respect to
any stock option, restricted stock unit or other equity award granted to an Ag
Business Employee under any Descartes Benefit Plan which is outstanding on the
date of this Agreement (each, a “Descartes Equity Award”). Descartes may, in its
sole discretion, permit Descartes Equity Awards held by Transferred Ag Business
Employees to remain outstanding or vest, in full or in part, on an accelerated
basis.
(r)    Collective Bargaining Agreements with Respect to International Ag
Business Employees. Fermat agrees that as of and following the Closing Date,
only to the extent and during the period of time required by applicable Law,
Fermat shall recognize the unions and works councils that are signatories to the
Ag Labor Agreements covering International Ag Business Employees or represent
any International Ag Business Employees as the representatives of the Ag
Business Employees of the bargaining units described therein and only to the
extent and during the period of time required by applicable Law or Ag Labor
Agreement, assume or replicate and/or honor any Ag Labor Agreement, solely with
respect to such International Ag Business Employees who become Transferred Ag
Business Employees. Prior to the Closing, Descartes shall and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with efforts of Fermat or its Subsidiaries
to engage in

-134-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

negotiations with any labor union, labor organization or works council
representing any International Ag Business Employee concerning terms and
conditions of employment of Transferred Ag Business Employees.
(s)    Notice and Consultation. Subject to Section 2.19 of this Agreement, prior
to the Closing, Descartes and its Subsidiaries shall satisfy any and all
obligations and requirements under the Ag Labor Agreements, Transfer Regulations
and other applicable Laws to provide notice to, enter into any consultation
procedure with, obtain an opinion from, or engage in bargaining (including, but
not limited to, effects bargaining) with any group of Ag Business Employees or
any labor union, labor organization, works council or other representative body
that represents any Ag Business Employee, in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Fermat shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, cooperate in good faith with respect to the foregoing,
including, but not limited to, timely providing any required information
relating to Fermat or its applicable Subsidiary, or to any measures envisaged by
Fermat or its applicable Subsidiary with respect to the relevant Ag Business
Employees or as otherwise reasonably requested by Descartes or any of its
Subsidiaries in respect of or for the purpose of completing such consultation
process.
(t)    Immigration. Descartes shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use
their reasonable best efforts to ensure that any foreign national who requires a
visa in order to work for Descartes or a Subsidiary in his or her current
position may continue to work in such position as a Transferred Ag Business
Employee following the Closing Date, or, as applicable, such later date that
such Ag Business Employee’s employment transfers to Fermat or its applicable
Subsidiary; provided that Fermat and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate in good
faith and timely provide information as reasonably requested with respect to the
foregoing.
(u)    Defined Benefit Pension Plan.
(i)    To the extent required under any Ag Labor Agreement covering
International Ag Business Employees as in effect on the date hereof or
applicable Law, Fermat shall take such actions as required to enable those
Transferred Ag Business Employees who (A) participate in a Descartes Non-U.S.
Pension Plan and (B) are required by applicable Law or Ag Labor Agreement to
transfer as of the Closing their accrued benefits and vested rights into a
defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Fermat or its Affiliates, to transfer
as of the Closing their accrued benefits and vested rights (and the related
assets) into such plan of Fermat or its Affiliates. Without limiting the
provisions of the preceding sentence or Section 2.6(c), Descartes shall retain
and be solely responsible for all Liabilities and obligations with respect to
Transferred Ag Business Employees under all United States defined benefit
pension plans that are maintained by Descartes or any of its Affiliates, and
accordingly there shall be no transfer of assets or liabilities among

-135-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Descartes, Fermat, any of their Affiliates or their respective plans in respect
of such defined benefit pension plans.
(ii)    To the extent required by applicable Law, Descartes shall, or shall
cause its Affiliates to, (x) transfer in total the assets and liabilities of any
Descartes Non-U.S. Pension Plan whose coverage is limited exclusively to
Transferred Ag Business Employees and (y) divide the assets and liabilities of
any Descartes Non-U.S. Pension Plan whose coverage is not limited exclusively to
Transferred Ag Business Employees.  The assets and liabilities of any such
Descartes Non-U.S. Pension Plan with respect to Transferred Ag Business
Employees will be transferred to those plans of Fermat or its Affiliates
covering Transferred Ag Business Employees as such plans are created or
identified by Fermat, to the extent such transfer is required by applicable
Law.  The determination of the assets and liabilities attributable to such
Transferred Ag Business Employees will be determined by Descartes and its or its
Affiliate’s actuaries, using assumptions and methods consistent with their prior
practice in making such determinations and in accordance with applicable Law (it
being understood that if Descartes and Fermat have each historically used
materially different assumptions and methods with respect to similar facts in
determining the value of assets and liabilities of Descartes Non-U.S. Pension
Plans and Fermat Non-U.S. Pension Plans, respectively, the parties will
cooperate in good faith to determine reasonable assumptions and methods for
purposes of determining such assets and liabilities).  Fermat will adopt (or
cause to be adopted) those employee benefit plans covering such Transferred Ag
Business Employees, or designate existing employee benefit plans maintained by
Fermat or its Affiliates, into which the assets and liabilities attributable to
such Transferred Ag Business Employees (in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this subsection (u)) will be transferred as soon as practicable
after the Closing, and after any necessary approvals by any Governmental Entity
have been obtained or, if no such approvals are required, after Descartes has
received evidence from Fermat, reasonably satisfactory to Descartes, that the
employee benefit plans adopted or designated by Fermat or its Affiliates satisfy
all material requirements of applicable Law.  Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, none of Descartes or any of its Affiliates shall be under the
obligation to create new defined benefit plans in respect of Transferred Ag
Business Employees, to then be assumed by Fermat or its Affiliates.
(v)    Pension Treatment Adjustment.
(i)    As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event
more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, (i) Descartes
shall prepare and deliver to Fermat a statement (the “Descartes Pension Funding
Statement”) that sets forth (together with information to demonstrate how it
determined such amount) the Descartes Non-U.S. Pension Funding Amount, and (ii)
Fermat shall prepare and deliver to Descartes a statement (together with the
Descartes Pension Funding Statement, the “Pension Funding Statements”) that sets
forth (together with information to demonstrate how it determined such amount)
the Fermat Non-U.S. Pension Funding Amount.

-136-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    Each party hereto shall have a period of not more than sixty (60) days
following delivery by the other party of its Pension Funding Statement and
supporting materials in accordance with subsection (i) above during which to
review such Pension Funding Statement and supporting materials and to notify the
other party if it believes the calculation of the Descartes Non-U.S. Pension
Funding Amount or Fermat Non-U.S. Pension Funding Amount, as the case may be,
contains mathematical errors or is based on actuarial or other assumptions
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
(A)    If both parties hereto shall fail to so notify the other respective party
of any such dispute, then the Descartes Non-U.S. Pension Funding Amount and
Fermat Non-U.S. Pension Funding Amount reflected in the respective Pension
Funding Statements shall be deemed agreed for purposes of this Agreement.
(B)    If either party hereto shall so notify the other of any such dispute,
Descartes and Fermat shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute as
promptly as possible, and upon resolution, the Descartes Non-U.S. Pension
Funding Amount and Fermat Non-U.S. Pension Funding Amount reflected in the
respective Pension Funding Statements (as adjusted to reflect the settlement of
any dispute) shall be deemed agreed for purposes of this Agreement.
(C)    If Descartes and Fermat fail to resolve any such dispute with respect to
any country within sixty (60) days after notice of the dispute, Descartes and
Fermat shall choose an independent actuary (i.e., an actuarial firm that is
nationally recognized in such country other than any actuary regularly used by
Descartes or Fermat); provided that if Descartes and Fermat cannot mutually
agree on the identity of the independent actuary within five (5) Business Days,
then Descartes and Fermat shall on the next Business Day each identify an
actuarial firm (other than one regularly used by Descartes or Fermat), and the
independent actuary shall be selected by lot from these two firms by any
actuaries regularly used by Descartes and Fermat, and provided further that if
such actuary identified by lot shall not agree to serve within five (5) Business
Days, then additional actuarial firms shall be identified in accordance with the
foregoing procedures until one shall agree to serve (such independent actuary
determined in accordance with this parenthetical, the “Independent Actuary”)).
Descartes and Fermat shall require the Independent Actuary to determine whether
any Pension Funding Statement in dispute contains mathematical errors or is
based on actuarial or other assumptions inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement. Descartes and Fermat shall instruct the Independent Actuary to use
every reasonable commercial effort to perform its services within thirty (30)
days of submission of the applicable Pension Funding Statement and supporting
materials to it and, in any case, as promptly as practicable after submission.
The determination of the Independent Actuary shall be final and binding on
Descartes and Fermat, and the Descartes Non-U.S. Pension

-137-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Funding Amount and Fermat Non-U.S. Pension Funding Amount reflected in the
respective Pension Funding Statements (as adjusted to reflect the settlement of
any dispute) shall be deemed agreed for purposes of this Agreement. Descartes
and Fermat shall each bear one-half of the costs of the Independent Actuary.
(iii)    No later than twenty (20) Business Days following the determination of
the Pension Funding Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 5.8(v)(ii)
above:
(A)    In the event that the Pension Funding Adjustment Amount is negative,
Descartes shall make a cash payment to Fermat in an amount equal to the absolute
tax-effected value (calculated using the highest marginal corporate U.S. federal
income tax rate applicable as of the Closing and determined without regard to
whether a tax deduction is actually available) of the Pension Funding Adjustment
Amount; or
(B)    In the event that the Pension Funding Adjustment Amount is positive,
Fermat shall make a cash payment to Descartes in an amount equal to the absolute
tax-effected value (calculated using the highest marginal corporate U.S. federal
income tax rate applicable as of the Closing and determined without regard to
whether a tax deduction is actually available) of the Pension Funding Adjustment
Amount.
(w)    Access to Ag Business Employees. Descartes shall cooperate in good faith
with Fermat and its Subsidiaries to (i) make each Ag Business Employee
reasonably accessible to Fermat and its Subsidiaries to assist in efforts to
secure offers of employment with each such Ag Business Employee and (ii)
encourage (without the payment of additional compensation) each Ag Business
Employee whose employment does not continue by operation of Law with Fermat or a
Subsidiary of Fermat, as applicable, to accept an offer of employment pursuant
to Section 5.8(a).
(x)    Delayed Transfer Ag Business Employees. With respect to any Delayed
Transfer Ag Business Employee, Descartes shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to make such Delayed Transfer Ag Business Employee (other than French Ag
Business Employees) available to Fermat to provide services to the Ag Business
between the Closing Date and the date on which such Delayed Transfer Ag Business
Employee transfers to Fermat (such date, the applicable “Delayed Ag Business
Employee Transfer Date”). References in this Agreement to the “Closing” or the
“Closing Date” as they relate to such Delayed Transfer Ag Business Employees
(including such references with respect to the assumption of assets and
Liabilities in respect of such Delayed Transfer Ag Business Employee in
accordance with Section 2.3, Section 2.4, Section 2.5, and Section 2.6) shall be
deemed to refer to the date on which such Delayed Transfer Ag Business Employee
commences employment with Fermat or one of its Subsidiaries; provided, that in
respect of any Delayed Transfer Ag Business Employee (a) during the period
beginning at the Closing (determined without regard to the preceding provisions
of this sentence) and ending on his or her Delayed Ag

-138-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Business Employee Transfer Date, Descartes shall cause the terms and conditions
of employment of the Delayed Transfer Ag Business Employee to satisfy the
conditions set forth in the definition of Approved Employment Terms determined
without regard to clause (c)(ii) thereof, and (b) the Benefit Continuation
Period shall begin on the Closing Date as determined without regard to the
preceding provisions of this sentence.
(y)    Access to Ag Business Independent Contractors.
(i)    During the period prior to the Closing Date, Descartes shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to make individual natural person independent
contractors Related to the Ag Business and directly engaged by Descartes or its
Affiliates available to Fermat for the purpose of allowing Fermat to interview
each such contractor and determine the nature and extent of each such person’s
continuation with Fermat, if any. Descartes shall not make any offer of
extension of a contract beyond the Closing Date with any such individual until
after Fermat has interviewed and identified in writing whether it wishes to
engage such person (and shall cooperate in good faith with Fermat in connection
with the extension of any such Contract expiring between the date hereof and the
Closing Date in order to facilitate assumption of the applicable Contract by
Fermat, if Fermat wishes so to engage such person).
(ii)    Descartes shall provide to Fermat contact information for third party
service providers providing contingent personnel to the Ag Business and
reasonably cooperate in identifying and transferring such contingent work force
to the extent requested by Fermat.
(iii)    Fermat agrees that any investigation undertaken pursuant to the access
set forth in Section 5.8(y)(i) shall be conducted in such a manner as not to
unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Ag Business. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Descartes nor any of its
Affiliates shall be required to disclose any information: (A) if doing so would
violate any written obligation of confidentiality to which it or any of its
Affiliates is subject or, upon the advice of counsel, would jeopardize
attorney-client privilege or contravene any Laws, (B) if Descartes or any of its
Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Fermat or any of its Subsidiaries, on the
other hand, are adverse parties in a Proceeding and such information is
reasonably pertinent thereto (other than a litigation with respect to a claim
for indemnification under this Agreement) or (C) if such party reasonably
determines in good faith that such information is competitively sensitive;
provided that, in the case of clause (A) above Descartes shall use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consents or take such other
action (such as the entry into a joint defense agreement or other arrangement to
avoid loss of attorney client privilege) to permit such access or disclosure.
(z)    Without limiting the generality of Section 10.4, the provisions of this
Section 5.8 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and no
current or former employee,

-139-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

director or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith
shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Ag
Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan for any purpose.

Section 5.9    H&N Employee Matters.
(a)    Treatment of H&N Business Employees. Descartes shall (or shall cause its
Subsidiaries to) (i) continue the employment at and after the Closing of each
Transferred H&N Subsidiary Employee and each Automatic Transfer H&N Business
Employee who does not object to their transfer pursuant to Section 5.9(b) and
(ii) within a reasonable period of time (but not fewer than thirty (30) days)
prior to the Closing Date, make an offer consistent with the Approved Employment
Terms to employ each Non-Automatic Transfer H&N Business Employee commencing as
of the Closing Date with Descartes or one of its Subsidiaries or a Transferred
H&N Subsidiary on terms consistent with this Section 5.9 (provided, that any H&N
Business Employee who is an Inactive H&N Employee on the date such employment
offers are made by Descartes or its Subsidiaries shall receive an offer of
employment in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, Section 5.9(e)
below). Fermat shall cooperate in good faith to ensure that, not later than
immediately prior to the Closing Date, no employee of Fermat and its Affiliates
is employed by a Transferred H&N Subsidiary other than H&N Business Employees.
Fermat shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Descartes to,
upon request by Descartes, enter, or cause its applicable Affiliate to enter,
into a tri-partite agreement to memorialize the termination or resignation or
assignment of the employment relationship of International H&N Business
Employees with Descartes or its Affiliate.
(b)    The parties acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement insofar as they relate to Automatic Transfer H&N Business
Employees will constitute the automatic transfer of such employees, their
contracts of employment and all rights and obligations associated with such
contracts of employment to Descartes or its Subsidiary or a Transferred H&N
Subsidiary by operation of Law unless the applicable employee objects to the
transfer. If it is found or alleged that any Automatic Transfer H&N Business
Employee does not automatically transfer to Descartes or its relevant
Subsidiary, Descartes or its relevant Subsidiary may (or may cause its relevant
Subsidiary to) make an offer to such Automatic Transfer H&N Business Employee on
the terms set forth in Section 5.9(a); provided that, offers of employment to
such employees shall (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
5.9(f)) be on terms that would have applied had such employee transferred by
operation of Law pursuant to the Transfer Regulations.
(c)    As used herein, “Transferred H&N Business Employee” means (i) each
Transferred H&N Subsidiary Employee whose employment is continued at and after
the Closing pursuant to Section 5.9(a), (ii) each Non-Automatic Transfer H&N
Business Employee, or if

-140-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

applicable, Automatic Transfer H&N Business Employee, who accepts Descartes’s
offer of employment pursuant to Section 5.9(a) and (iii) each Automatic Transfer
H&N Business Employee whose employment automatically transfers pursuant to
Section 5.9(b).
(d)    As of the Closing, Fermat shall ensure that each Transferred H&N Business
Employee is released from employment with Fermat or its Affiliates, and from any
post-termination or employment restrictions that would prohibit or restrict such
employee from performing his or her duties for Descartes, a Transferred H&N
Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of any of them with effect from the Closing (or, in
the case of Inactive H&N Employees, such later date of commencement of
employment with Descartes, a Transferred H&N Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of any
of them).
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Fermat shall take any
and all actions necessary to ensure that (i) the employment of Inactive H&N
Employees does not transfer to Descartes as of the Closing, (ii) following the
Closing, each Inactive H&N Employee remains eligible for any Fermat Benefit Plan
in which he or she participates as of the Closing subject to the terms and
conditions of such H&N Benefit Plan, and (iii) Fermat and its Subsidiaries
retain, and are solely responsible for, all Liabilities with respect to each
such Inactive H&N Employee for the period prior to the date such individual
becomes a Transferred H&N Business Employee in accordance with the terms hereof.
Provided that an Inactive H&N Employee is willing and able to return to active
service within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Closing Date (or
such longer period as required by applicable Law), Descartes shall (or shall
cause its Subsidiary to), not later than ten (10) days prior to, and effective
as of, such Inactive H&N Employee’s scheduled return date, make an offer to
employ such Inactive H&N Employee on terms consistent with Section 5.9(a).
Effective as of the date on which an Inactive H&N Employee commences employment
with Descartes or its Subsidiary, such Inactive H&N Employee shall be treated as
a Transferred H&N Business Employee for all purposes under this Agreement, and,
as they relate to such Inactive H&N Employee (including the assets and
Liabilities assumed in respect of such Inactive H&N Employee in accordance with
Section 2.9, Section 2.11, Section 2.12, and Section 2.13), references in this
Agreement to the “Closing” or the “Closing Date” (other than such references in
Section 5.9(f))shall be deemed to refer to the date on which such Inactive H&N
Employee commences employment with Fermat or one of its Subsidiaries.
(f)    With respect to each Transferred H&N Business Employee, Descartes shall
provide (or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to provide), during the
Benefit Continuation Period, for so long as such Transferred H&N Business
Employee remains employed by Descartes or one of its Subsidiaries during the
Benefit Continuation Period, compensation and benefits consistent with the
Approved Employment Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be
construed as a guarantee of employment for a certain period of time by Descartes
or its Subsidiaries for Transferred H&N Business Employees.

-141-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g)    Descartes will or will cause its applicable Subsidiary to recognize each
Transferred H&N Business Employee’s seniority date with Fermat or its Affiliates
under its compensation and fringe benefit programs (where such date is relevant)
consistent with Descartes’s treatment of employees generally. As of and after
the Closing, Descartes shall provide to each Transferred H&N Business Employee
full service credit for all purposes under each employee benefit plan, policy or
arrangement sponsored or maintained by Descartes or any of its Affiliates for
such Transferred H&N Business Employee (the “Descartes Benefit Plans”) as of and
after the Closing, for such Transferred H&N Business Employee’s service on and
prior to the Closing with Fermat or any of its Subsidiaries, to the same extent
such service is recognized by Descartes and its Affiliates under the Descartes
Benefit Plans; provided that such service shall not be credited for purposes of
benefit accrual under any Descartes Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit
pension plan or retiree medical plan or that provides grandfathered benefits or
to the extent such credit would result in any duplication of compensation or
benefits or the funding thereof.
(h)    Health Coverages. Descartes shall cause each Transferred H&N Business
Employee (and his or her “eligible dependents,” as defined in the Descartes
Benefit Plans) to be covered as of the Closing by a group health plan or plans
that (i) do not limit or exclude coverage on the basis of any pre-existing
condition of such Transferred H&N Business Employee or dependent (other than any
limitation already in effect under the applicable group health H&N Benefit Plan)
or on the basis of any other exclusion or waiting period not in effect under the
applicable group health H&N Benefit Plan, and (ii) provide each Transferred H&N
Business Employee full credit, for the year in which the Closing Date occurs,
for any deductible or co-payment already incurred by the Transferred H&N
Business Employee under the applicable group health H&N Benefit Plan and for any
other out-of-pocket expenses that count against any maximum out-of-pocket
expense provision of the applicable group health H&N Benefit Plan or Descartes’s
group health plans.
(i)    Severance. Descartes shall be responsible, or reimburse Fermat or its
applicable Subsidiary, for any severance, notice or other termination-related
payments or benefits required by applicable Law or local custom, Contract or
Fermat Benefit Plan to be paid or provided to (i) any Non-Automatic Transfer H&N
Business Employee who rejects an offer of employment from Descartes or one of
its Subsidiaries or a Transferred H&N Subsidiary that does not meet the
requirements of Section 5.9(a) (or, in the case of any U.S. H&N Business
Employee, that offers employment more than fifty (50) miles from such
individual’s employment location with the Fermat Group) or (ii) any Automatic
Transfer H&N Business Employee who objects to the transfer of his or her
employment to Descartes or one of its Subsidiaries or a Transferred H&N
Subsidiary where such transfer would entail a material change to the Automatic
Transfer H&N Business Employee’s working conditions to his or her detriment or
where Descartes or its Subsidiary or a Transferred H&N Subsidiary fails to
comply with the Transfer Regulations. Fermat shall be responsible for any
severance, notice or other termination-related payments or benefits required by
applicable Law or local custom, Contract, H&N Labor Agreement or Fermat Benefit
Plan to be paid or provided by

-142-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fermat to any Non-Automatic Transfer H&N Business Employee who accepts or
rejects an offer of employment from Descartes or one of its Subsidiaries or a
Transferred H&N Subsidiary that meets the requirements of Section 5.9(a) (and,
in the case of any U.S. H&N Business Employee, that offers employment within
fifty (50) miles from such individual’s employment location with the Fermat
Group).
(j)    WARN. On or before the Closing, for each jurisdiction where the WARN Act
applies, Fermat shall provide a list, by site of employment, of any and all
employees of Fermat or any of its Subsidiaries located at any site of employment
where a H&N Business Employee is based who, within ninety (90) days prior to the
Closing, have experienced, or will experience, an employment loss or layoff as
defined by the WARN Act (the “Fermat WARN List”). Fermat shall update this list
up to and including the Closing. Descartes shall assume and be solely
responsible for any Liability under the WARN Act (including, but not limited to,
with respect to any individual included on the Fermat WARN List) on or after the
Closing Date as a result of Descartes’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ actions or
omissions, including failure to serve sufficient notice pursuant to the WARN
Act.
(k)    Accrued Vacation Time. For each U.S. H&N Business Employee who becomes a
Transferred H&N Business Employee, Fermat (or its applicable Subsidiary) shall
pay any accrued unused vacation time, as of the Closing, on or timely following
the Closing Date. For each Automatic Transfer H&N Business Employee and each
other International H&N Business Employee who becomes a Transferred H&N Business
Employee, in addition to the requirements imposed by applicable Law and except
where prohibited by applicable Law, Descartes will or will cause its applicable
Subsidiary to recognize and assume the Liability with respect to accrued but
unused vacation time and Descartes (or its applicable Subsidiary) shall allow
such Transferred H&N Business Employees to use such vacation time in accordance
with the terms of Descartes’s (or its applicable Subsidiary’s) policies or
programs; provided, that such vacation time shall be banked and not subject to
forfeiture under such policies or programs. No later than thirty (30) days
following the Closing Date, Fermat shall provide Descartes with a schedule of
each Transferred H&N Business Employee’s accrued but unused vacation time that
will transfer to Descartes pursuant to this Section 5.9(k).
(l)    H&N Benefit Plans.
(i)    Unless specifically provided for in this Agreement, Descartes shall not
assume any obligations under or Liabilities with respect to, or receive any
right or interest in any trusts relating to, any assets of or any insurance,
administration or other contracts, or related obligations pertaining to, any H&N
Benefit Plan other than any Transferred H&N Benefit Plan. As of and following
the Closing, Descartes shall assume and honor each Transferred H&N Benefit Plan.

-143-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all H&N
Business Employees as of the Closing Date and their eligible spouses and other
eligible dependents will cease, effective as of the Closing Date, any
participation in and any benefit accrual under each of the H&N Benefit Plans
other than the Transferred H&N Benefit Plans, and Fermat and its Affiliates
shall be authorized to take all necessary actions to effect such cessation. The
preceding sentence of this paragraph notwithstanding, H&N Business Employees,
their eligible spouses and other eligible dependents may continue after the
Closing Date to participate in accordance with, and subject to, their
eligibility under the terms of the applicable H&N Benefit Plans (for the
avoidance of doubt, as terminated but vested employees or eligible spouses or
dependents thereof) in effect from time to time.
(m)    401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing, Descartes shall establish, and
Fermat shall reasonably cooperate with Descartes to establish, participation by
the Transferred H&N Business Employees in a Descartes 401(k) Plan for the
benefit of each Transferred H&N Business Employee who, as of immediately prior
to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a Fermat 401(k) Plan. As soon as
practicable after the Closing Date, the Fermat 401(k) Plans shall, to the extent
permitted by Section 401(k) of the Code, make distributions available to
Transferred H&N Business Employees, and the Descartes 401(k) Plan shall accept
any such distribution in cash as a rollover distribution if so directed by the
Transferred H&N Business Employee.
(n)    Flexible Spending Accounts. Descartes shall, with respect to each
Transferred H&N Business Employee, establish flexible spending accounts for
medical and dependent care expenses (the “Descartes FSA Accounts”), and shall
credit such accounts with the amount credited as of the Closing Date under
comparable accounts maintained under H&N Benefit Plans from the beginning of the
plan year to the Closing Date. Fermat shall, with respect to each Transferred
H&N Business Employee, provide for the transfer of the account balances (whether
positive or negative) under the H&N Benefit Plans that are medical and dependent
care flexible spending accounts to the Descartes FSA Accounts effective as of
the Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, (i) Fermat
shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Descartes in cash the amount, if any, by
which aggregate contributions made by Transferred H&N Business Employees to
Fermat’s or its Affiliates’ flexible spending accounts exceeded the aggregate
benefits provided to the Transferred H&N Business Employees as of the Closing,
or (ii) Descartes shall pay to Fermat in cash the amount, if any, by which
aggregate benefits provided to Transferred H&N Business Employees under Fermat’s
or its Affiliates’ flexible spending accounts exceeded the aggregate
contributions made by Transferred H&N Business Employees as of the Closing.
(o)    Bonuses. Neither Descartes nor its Subsidiaries shall assume or be
responsible for any Liabilities in relation to any incentive compensation plan
maintained in respect of Transferred H&N Business Employees (“Fermat Bonus
Programs”) to the extent such Liabilities relate to any Performance Period that
has ended on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Fermat Prior

-144-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Period Bonus”), and Fermat and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for
and shall pay all Liabilities in relation to Fermat Prior Period Bonuses in the
ordinary course of business (but without regard to any continued service
requirements, in respect of periods subsequent to the Closing Date) and as
determined in a manner consistent with historical practice. With respect to any
Performance Period during which the Closing Date occurs, at the sole discretion
of Fermat, either (i) Fermat or its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for and
shall pay as and when otherwise payable under the Fermat Bonus Programs all
amounts accrued (and all related Liabilities) under the Fermat Bonus Programs in
relation to the portion of such Performance Period that occurs before the
Closing, which amounts shall be based on actual performance (or, in the case of
individual performance metrics, at the target level of performance) and be
otherwise determined reasonably and in a manner consistent with historical
practice; or (ii) no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the
Closing Date, Fermat or its applicable Affiliate shall pay any performance-based
quarterly, annual or other temporal period bonus for the performance period in
which the Closing occurs, prorated through the Closing, to each Transferred H&N
Business Employee who is or would be eligible to receive such a bonus for such
performance period under any H&N Benefit Plan pursuant to the terms thereof;
provided that any applicable performance metrics shall be deemed satisfied as if
target performance had been achieved.
(p)    Retention Program. Fermat shall establish a cash-based retention program
for the benefit of H&N Business Employees to promote retention and to
incentivize efforts to consummate the Closing (the “H&N Retention Program”)
consistent with the terms set forth in Section 5.9(p) of the Fermat Disclosure
Schedule. Fermat or its Subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for any
Liability arising under the H&N Retention Program.
(q)    Fermat Equity Awards. From and after the Closing, Fermat and its
Affiliates will assume or retain, as the case may be, and be solely responsible
for and will fully perform, pay and discharge, in accordance with their terms,
all Liabilities in respect of Transferred H&N Business Employees with respect to
any stock option, restricted stock unit or other equity award granted to a H&N
Business Employee under any Fermat Benefit Plan which is outstanding on the date
of this Agreement (each, a “Fermat Equity Award”). Fermat may, in its sole
discretion, permit Fermat Equity Awards held by Transferred H&N Business
Employees to remain outstanding or vest, in full or in part, on an accelerated
basis. Until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, Descartes or its
Subsidiaries shall promptly provide written notice to Fermat of the termination
of the employment with Descartes or its Subsidiaries of any Transferred H&N
Business Employee as Fermat may reasonably require for the administration of the
Fermat Equity Awards following the Closing Date.
(r)    Collective Bargaining Agreements with Respect to H&N Business Employees.
Descartes agrees that as of and following the Closing Date, only to the extent
and during the period of time required by applicable Law, Descartes shall
recognize the unions and works councils that are signatories to the H&N Labor
Agreements covering International H&N

-145-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Business Employees or represent any International H&N Business Employees as the
representatives of the H&N Business Employees of the bargaining units described
therein and only to the extent and during the period of time required by
applicable Law or H&N Labor Agreement, assume or replicate and/or honor any H&N
Labor Agreement, solely with respect to such International H&N Business
Employees who become Transferred H&N Business Employees. Descartes shall
recognize the unions and works councils that are signatories to the H&N Labor
Agreements covering U.S. H&N Business Employees, solely with respect to such
U.S. H&N Business Employees who become Transferred H&N Business Employees. Prior
to the Closing, Fermat shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to reasonably
cooperate with efforts of Descartes or its Subsidiaries to engage in
negotiations with any labor union, labor organization or works council
representing any H&N Business Employee concerning terms and conditions of
employment of Transferred H&N Business Employees.
(s)    Notice and Consultation. Subject to Section 2.19 of this Agreement, prior
to the transfer of any employee to or out of a Transferred H&N Subsidiary in
connection with the implementation of the H&N Step Plan and prior to the
Closing, Fermat and its Subsidiaries shall satisfy any and all obligations and
requirements under the H&N Labor Agreements, Transfer Regulations and other
applicable Laws to provide notice to, enter into any consultation procedure
with, obtain an opinion from or engage in bargaining (including, but not limited
to effects bargaining) with any group of H&N Business Employees or any labor
union, labor organization, works council or other representative body that
represents any H&N Business Employee, in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Descartes shall, and shall cause
its Subsidiaries to, cooperate in good faith with respect to the foregoing,
including, but not limited to, timely providing any required information
relating to Descartes or the applicable Subsidiary, or to any measures envisaged
by Descartes or the applicable Subsidiary with respect to the relevant H&N
Business Employees or as otherwise reasonably requested by Fermat or any of its
Subsidiaries in respect of or for the purpose of completing such consultation
process.
(t)    Immigration. Fermat shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their
reasonable best efforts to ensure that any foreign national who requires a visa
in order to work for Fermat or a Subsidiary in his or her current position may
continue to work in such position as a Transferred H&N Business Employee
following the Closing Date, or, as applicable, such later date that such H&N
Business Employee’s employment transfers to Descartes or its applicable
Subsidiary; provided that Descartes and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate in good
faith and timely provide information as reasonably requested with respect to the
foregoing.
(u)    Defined Benefit Pension Plan.
(i)    To the extent required under any H&N Labor Agreement covering
International H&N Business Employees as in effect on the date hereof or
applicable Law, Descartes

-146-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall take such actions as required to enable those Transferred H&N Business
Employees who (A) participate in a Fermat Non-U.S. Pension Plan and (B) are
required by applicable Law or H&N Labor Agreement to transfer as of the Closing
their accrued benefits and vested rights into a defined benefit pension plan
sponsored by Descartes or its Affiliates, to transfer as of the Closing their
accrued benefits and vested rights (and the related assets) into such plan of
Descartes or its Affiliates. Without limiting the provisions of the preceding
sentence or Section 2.13(c), Fermat shall retain and be solely responsible for
all Liabilities and obligations with respect to Transferred H&N Business
Employees under all United States defined benefit pension plans that are
maintained by Fermat or any of its Affiliates, and accordingly there shall be no
transfer of assets or liabilities among Fermat, Descartes, any of their
Affiliates or their respective plans in respect of such defined benefit pension
plans.
(ii)    To the extent required by applicable Law, Fermat shall, or shall cause
its Affiliates to (x) transfer in total the assets and liabilities of any Fermat
Non-U.S. Pension Plan whose coverage is limited exclusively to Transferred H&N
Business Employees and (y) divide the assets and liabilities of any Fermat
Non-U.S. Pension Plan whose coverage is not limited exclusively to Transferred
H&N Business Employees. The assets and liabilities of any such Fermat Non-U.S.
Pension Plan with respect to Transferred H&N Business Employees will be
transferred to those plans of Descartes or its Affiliates covering Transferred
H&N Business Employees as such plans are created or identified by Descartes, to
the extent such transfer is required by applicable Law. The determination of the
assets and liabilities attributable to such Transferred H&N Business Employees
will be determined by Fermat and its or its Affiliate’s actuaries, using
assumptions and methods consistent with their prior practice in making such
determinations and in accordance with applicable Law (it being understood that
if Descartes and Fermat have each historically used materially different
assumptions and methods with respect to similar facts in determining the value
of assets and liabilities of Descartes Non-U.S. Pension Plans and Fermat
Non-U.S. Pension Plans, respectively, the parties will cooperate in good faith
to determine reasonable assumptions and methods for purposes of determining such
assets and liabilities). Descartes will adopt (or cause to be adopted) those
employee benefit plans covering such Transferred H&N Business Employees, or
designate existing employee benefit plans maintained by Descartes or its
Affiliates, into which the assets and liabilities attributable to such
Transferred H&N Business Employees (in accordance with the foregoing provisions
of this subsection (u)(i)) will be transferred as soon as practicable after the
Closing, and after any necessary approvals by any Governmental Entity have been
obtained or, if no such approvals are required, after Fermat has received
evidence from Descartes, reasonably satisfactory to Fermat, that the employee
benefit plans adopted or designated by Descartes or its Affiliates satisfy all
material requirements of applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, none of Fermat or any of its Affiliates shall be under the obligation
to create new defined benefit plans in respect of Transferred H&N Business
Employees, to then be assumed by Descartes or its Affiliates.

-147-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)    Fermat and Descartes shall comply with the terms set forth on Section
5.9(u)(iii) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule.
(v)    The provisions in Section 5.8(v) apply with respect to the transfer of
the Liabilities described in Section 5.9(u).
(w)    Access to H&N Business Employees. Fermat shall cooperate in good faith
with Descartes and its Subsidiaries to (i) make each H&N Business Employee
reasonably accessible to Descartes and its Subsidiaries to assist in efforts to
secure offers of employment with each such H&N Business Employee and (ii)
encourage (without the payment of additional compensation) each H&N Business
Employee whose employment does not continue by operation of Law with Descartes
or a Subsidiary of Descartes, as applicable, to accept an offer of employment
pursuant to Section 5.9(a).
(x)    Delayed Transfer H&N Business Employees. With respect to any Delayed
Transfer H&N Business Employee, Fermat shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to make such Delayed Transfer H&N Business Employee available to Descartes to
provide services to the H&N Business between the Closing Date and the date on
which such Delayed Transfer H&N Business Employee transfers to Descartes (such
date, the applicable “Delayed H&N Business Employee Transfer Date”). References
in this Agreement to the “Closing” or the “Closing Date” as they relate to such
Delayed Transfer H&N Business Employees (including such references with respect
to the assumption of assets and Liabilities in respect of such Delayed Transfer
H&N Business Employee in accordance with Section 2.9, Section 2.11, Section
2.12, and Section 2.13) shall be deemed to refer to the date on which such
Delayed Transfer H&N Business Employee commences employment with Descartes or
one of its Subsidiaries; provided, that in respect of any Delayed Transfer H&N
Business Employee (a) during the period beginning at the Closing (determined
without regard to the preceding provisions of this sentence) and ending on his
or her Delayed H&N Business Employee Transfer Date, Fermat shall cause the terms
and conditions of employment of the Delayed Transfer H&N Business Employee to
satisfy the conditions set forth in the definition of Approved Employment Terms
determined without regard to clause (c)(ii) thereof, and (b) the Benefit
Continuation Period shall begin on the Closing Date as determined without regard
to the preceding provisions of this sentence.
(y)    Access to H&N Business Independent Contractors.
(i)    During the period prior to the Closing Date, Fermat shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to make individual natural person independent
contractors Related to the H&N Business and directly engaged by Fermat or its
Affiliates available to Descartes for the purpose of allowing Descartes to
interview each such contractor and determine the nature and extent of each such
person’s continuation with Descartes, if any. Fermat shall not make any offer of

-148-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

extension of any contract beyond the Closing Date with any such individual until
after Descartes has interviewed and identified in writing whether it wishes to
engage such person (and shall cooperate in good faith with Descartes in
connection with the extension of any such Contract expiring between the date
hereof and the Closing Date in order to facilitate assumption of the applicable
Contract by Descartes, if Descartes wishes so to engage such person).
(ii)    Fermat shall provide to Descartes contact information for third party
service providers providing contingent personnel to the H&N Business and
reasonably cooperate in identifying and transferring such contingent work force
to the extent requested by Descartes.
(iii)    Descartes agrees that any investigation undertaken pursuant to the
access set forth in Section 5.9(y)(i) shall be conducted in such a manner as not
to unreasonably interfere with the operation of the H&N Business.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Fermat nor
any of its Affiliates shall be required to disclose any information: (A) if
doing so would violate any written obligation of confidentiality to which it or
any of its Affiliates is subject or, upon the advice of counsel, would
jeopardize attorney-client privilege or contravene any Laws, (B) if Fermat or
any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Descartes or any of its
Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are adverse parties in a Proceeding and such
information is reasonably pertinent thereto (other than a litigation with
respect to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement) or (C) if such
party reasonably determines in good faith that such information is competitively
sensitive; provided that, in the case of clause (A) above Fermat shall use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consents or take such other
action (such as the entry into a joint defense agreement or other arrangement to
avoid loss of attorney client privilege) to permit such access or disclosure.
(z)    Without limiting the generality of Section 10.4, the provisions of this
Section 5.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and no
current or former employee, director or independent contractor or any other
individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third
party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an
amendment to any H&N Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan for any
purpose.

Section 5.10    Shared Contracts.
(a)    Ag Shared Contracts.
(i)    Fermat acknowledges that Descartes is a party to certain Contracts that
relate both to the Ag Business and one or more of Descartes’s other businesses
(each, including those listed on Section 5.10(a) of the Descartes Disclosure
Schedule, but excluding the Ag Labor Agreements, Ag Benefit Plans and IT Assets,
an “Ag Shared Contract”). Prior to the Closing, each of Descartes and Fermat
shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their respective
reasonable best efforts to obtain from, and to cooperate in obtaining from, and
shall, and shall cause

-149-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

their respective Subsidiaries to, enter into with, each third party to an Ag
Shared Contract, either (i) a separate contract or agreement in a form
reasonably acceptable to Descartes and Fermat (an “Descartes New Contract”) that
allocates the rights and obligations of Descartes and its Subsidiaries under
each such Ag Shared Contract as between the Ag Business, on the one hand, and
the Excluded Descartes Businesses, on the other hand, and which are otherwise
substantially similar in all material respects to such Ag Shared Contract, or
(ii) a contract or agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Descartes and
Fermat effective as of the Closing (the “Ag Partial Assignments and Releases”)
that (A) assigns the rights and obligations under such Ag Shared Contract solely
to the extent related to the Ag Business and arising after the Closing to Fermat
and its applicable Subsidiaries and (B) releases Descartes and its Subsidiaries
from all liabilities or obligations with respect to the Ag Business that arise
after the Closing. Any Descartes New Contracts that relate to the Ag Business
(the “New Ag Business Contracts”) shall be entered into by Fermat or one of its
Subsidiaries effective as of the Closing and shall allocate to Fermat or such
Subsidiary (as applicable) all rights and obligations of Descartes and its
Subsidiaries (as applicable) under the applicable Ag Shared Contract being
replaced to the extent such rights and obligations relate to the Ag Business and
arise after the Closing. All purchase commitments under the Ag Shared Contracts
shall be allocated under the New Ag Business Contracts or the Ag Partial
Assignments and Releases as between the Ag Business, on the one hand, and the
Excluded Descartes Businesses, on the other hand, in an equitable manner that is
mutually and reasonably agreed to by Descartes and Fermat. In connection with
the entering into of New Ag Business Contracts, the parties shall use their
reasonable best efforts to ensure that Descartes and its Subsidiaries are
released by the third party with respect to all liabilities and obligations
relating to the Ag Business and arising after the Closing.
(ii)    In the event that any third party under an Ag Shared Contract does not
agree to enter into a New Ag Business Contract or Ag Partial Assignment and
Release consistent with this Section 5.10(a), the parties shall in good faith
seek mutually acceptable alternative arrangements for purposes of allocating
rights and liabilities and obligations under such Ag Shared Contract (provided
that such arrangements shall not result in a breach or violation of such Ag
Shared Contract by Descartes or its Subsidiaries). Such alternative arrangements
may include a subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement under which
Fermat and its applicable Subsidiaries would, in compliance with Law, obtain the
benefits under, and, to the extent first arising after the Closing, assume the
obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with, such Ag Shared
Contract solely to the extent related to the Ag Business (or applicable portion
thereof) or under which Descartes and its Subsidiaries would, upon the request
of Fermat, enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of Fermat and its
Subsidiaries any and all of Descartes and its Subsidiaries rights against such
third party under such Ag Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Ag
Business (or applicable portion thereof), and Descartes and its Subsidiaries
would promptly pay to Fermat and its applicable Subsidiaries when received all
monies received by them

(net of any applicable Taxes imposed on Descartes and its Subsidiaries) under
such Ag Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Ag Business (or
applicable portion thereof).
(iii)    With respect to Liabilities pursuant to, under or relating to a given
Ag Shared Contract relating to occurrences from and after the Closing, such
Liabilities shall, unless otherwise allocated pursuant to this Agreement
(including Section 2.6) or any Acquisition Document, be allocated between
Descartes and Fermat as follows:
(A)    If a Liability is incurred exclusively in respect of the Ag Business or
exclusively in respect of the Excluded Descartes Businesses, such Liability
shall be allocated to Fermat or its applicable Subsidiary (in respect of the Ag
Business) or Descartes or its applicable Subsidiary (in respect of the Excluded
Descartes Businesses);
(B)    If a Liability cannot be so allocated under clause (1) above, such
Liability shall be allocated to Descartes or Fermat, as the case may be, based
on the relative proportions of total benefit received (over the term of the Ag
Shared Contract remaining as of the Closing Date, measured as of the date of the
allocation) by the Ag Business or the Excluded Descartes Businesses under the
relevant Ag Shared Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Descartes
and Fermat shall be responsible for any or all Liabilities arising from its (or
its Subsidiary’s) breach of the relevant Ag Shared Contract to which this
Section 5.10(a) otherwise pertains.
(iv)    If Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Fermat or
any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, receives any benefit or payment
which under any Ag Shared Contract was intended for the other, Descartes and
Fermat will use their respective reasonable best efforts to, and to cause their
respective Subsidiaries to, deliver such benefit or payment to the other party.
(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties agree that
the Contracts listed on Section 5.10(a)(v) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule
shall not be deemed to be Acquired Ag Assets or Ag Shared Contracts hereunder.
(b)    H&N Shared Contracts.
(i)    Descartes acknowledges that Fermat is a party to certain Contracts that
relate both to the H&N Business and one or more of Fermat’s other businesses
(each, including those listed on Section 5.10(b) of the Fermat Disclosure
Schedule, but excluding the H&N Labor Agreements, H&N Benefit Plans and IT
Assets, an “H&N Shared Contract”). Prior to the Closing, each of Descartes and
Fermat shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their
respective reasonable best efforts to obtain from, and to cooperate in obtaining
from, and shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, enter into
with, each third party to a H&N Shared

Contract, either (i) a separate contract or agreement in a form reasonably
acceptable to Descartes and Fermat (a “Fermat New Contract”) that allocates the
rights and obligations of Fermat and its Subsidiaries under each such H&N Shared
Contract as between the H&N Business, on the one hand, and the Excluded Fermat
Businesses, on the other hand, and which are otherwise substantially similar in
all material respects to such H&N Shared Contract, or (ii) a contract or
agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Descartes and Fermat effective as
of the Closing (the “H&N Partial Assignments and Releases”) that (A) assigns the
rights and obligations under such H&N Shared Contract solely to the extent
related to the H&N Business and arising after the Closing to Descartes and its
applicable Subsidiaries and (B) releases Fermat and its Subsidiaries from all
liabilities or obligations with respect to the H&N Business that arise after the
Closing. Any Fermat New Contracts that relate to the H&N Business (the “H&N New
Business Contracts”) shall be entered into by Descartes or one of its
Subsidiaries effective as of the Closing and shall allocate to Descartes or such
Subsidiary (as applicable) all rights and obligations of Fermat and its
Subsidiaries (as applicable) under the applicable H&N Shared Contract being
replaced to the extent such rights and obligations relate to the H&N Business
and arise after the Closing. All purchase commitments under the H&N Shared
Contracts shall be allocated under the H&N New Business Contracts or the H&N
Partial Assignments and Releases as between the H&N Business, on the one hand,
and the Excluded Fermat Businesses, on the other hand, in an equitable manner
that is mutually and reasonably agreed to by Descartes and Fermat. In connection
with the entering into of H&N New Business Contracts, the parties shall use
their reasonable best efforts to ensure that Fermat and its Subsidiaries are
released by the third party with respect to all liabilities and obligations
relating to the H&N Business and arising after the Closing.
(ii)    In the event that any third party under a H&N Shared Contract does not
agree to enter into a H&N New Business Contract or H&N Partial Assignment and
Release consistent with this Section 5.10(b), the parties shall in good faith
seek mutually acceptable alternative arrangements for purposes of allocating
rights and liabilities and obligations under such H&N Shared Contract (provided
that such arrangements shall not result in a breach or violation of such H&N
Shared Contract by Fermat or its Subsidiaries). Such alternative arrangements
may include a subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement under which
Descartes and its applicable Subsidiaries would, in compliance with Law, obtain
the benefits under, and, to the extent first arising after the Closing, assume
the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with, such H&N Shared
Contract solely to the extent related to the H&N Business (or applicable portion
thereof) or under which Fermat and its Subsidiaries would, upon the request of
Descartes, enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of Descartes and its
Subsidiaries any and all of Fermat and its Subsidiaries rights against such
third party under such H&N Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the
H&N Business (or applicable portion thereof), and Fermat and its Subsidiaries
would promptly pay to Descartes and its applicable Subsidiaries when received
all monies received

by them (net of any applicable Taxes imposed on Fermat and its Subsidiaries)
under such H&N Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the H&N Business
(or applicable portion thereof).
(iii)    With respect to Liabilities pursuant to, under or relating to a given
H&N Shared Contract relating to occurrences from and after the Closing, such
Liabilities shall, unless otherwise allocated pursuant to this Agreement
(including Section 2.13) or any Acquisition Document, be allocated between
Descartes and Fermat as follows:
(A)    If a Liability is incurred exclusively in respect of the H&N Business or
exclusively in respect of the Excluded Fermat Businesses, such Liability shall
be allocated to Descartes or its applicable Subsidiary (in respect of the H&N
Business) or Fermat or its applicable Subsidiary (in respect of the Excluded
Fermat Businesses);
(B)    If a Liability cannot be so allocated under clause (1) above, such
Liability shall be allocated to Descartes or Fermat, as the case may be, based
on the relative proportions of total benefit received (over the term of the H&N
Shared Contract remaining as of the Closing Date, measured as of the date of the
allocation) by the H&N Business or the Excluded Fermat Businesses under the
relevant H&N Shared Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Descartes
and Fermat shall be responsible for any or all Liabilities arising from its (or
its Subsidiary’s) breach of the relevant H&N Shared Contract to which this
Section 5.10(b) otherwise pertains.
(iv)    If Fermat or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Descartes or
any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, receives any benefit or payment
which under any H&N Shared Contract was intended for the other, Descartes and
Fermat will use their respective reasonable best efforts to, and to cause their
respective Subsidiaries to, deliver such benefit or payment to the other party.
(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties agree that
the Contracts listed on Section 5.10(b)(v) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule
shall not be deemed to be Acquired H&N Assets or H&N Shared Contracts hereunder.

Section 5.11    Obligations Regarding Non-Assignable Assets.
(a)    Subject to clause (f), notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to
the contrary, unless and until such license, consent, approval or amendment
described below is no longer required or has been obtained, this Agreement and
the Acquisition Documents shall not constitute an agreement to assign, license,
sublicense, lease, sublease, convey or transfer at the Closing any Acquired Ag
Asset or Acquired H&N Asset or, in each case, any claim or right or any benefit
arising thereunder or resulting therefrom as to which consent or approval from
any Person (including any and all licenses to be granted by, and any and all
consents and approvals of, Governmental Entities)

-153-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to assignment, license, sublicense, lease, sublease, conveyance or transfer
thereof or amendment thereof is required but has not been obtained as of the
Closing Date (such Acquired Ag Asset, a “Delayed Ag Asset” and such Acquired H&N
Asset, a “Delayed H&N Asset”); provided that to the extent not inconsistent with
the terms of any Delayed Ag Asset or Delayed H&N Asset, as applicable, or
applicable Law, the parties shall treat Fermat, with respect to a Delayed Ag
Asset, and Descartes, with respect to a Delayed H&N Asset, as the owner thereof
for Tax purposes as of the Closing Date; provided, further, that, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Descartes or any of its Affiliates
nor Fermat or any of its Affiliates shall be required to commence any litigation
or offer or pay any money or otherwise grant any accommodation (financial or
otherwise) to any third party with respect to any Delayed Ag Asset or Delayed
H&N Asset, as the case may be. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.1
and Section 5.30, Fermat and Descartes shall use, and cause each of their
Subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such license,
consent, approval or amendment, including after the Closing Date. Upon obtaining
the requisite licenses, consents or approvals, unless otherwise provided in any
Ag Acquisition Document, such Delayed Ag Asset shall be transferred and assigned
to Fermat hereunder without additional consideration therefor and, unless
otherwise provided in any H&N Acquisition Document, such Delayed H&N Asset shall
be transferred to Descartes hereunder without additional consideration therefor.
(b)    In the event and to the extent that, prior to the Closing, Descartes or
any of its Subsidiaries is unable to obtain a license, consent, approval or
amendment required to assign, license, sublicense, lease, sublease, convey or
transfer any Delayed Ag Asset to Fermat, then following the Closing (but in the
case of any Delayed Site, subject to Section 5.11(f)), Descartes shall, and
shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to, in each
case, subject to the terms of the Ag Acquisition Documents, (A) continue to hold
and (to the extent that Fermat or its designee is unable to operate such Delayed
Ag Asset directly, which the parties agree shall be their mutual priority and
preference) operate such Delayed Ag Asset in all material respects in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and taking into
account the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or otherwise pursuant
to reasonable and equitable alternative arrangements designed to place (but in
the case of any Delayed Site, subject to Section 5.11(f)) the parties in the
same place as if such Delayed Ag Asset had been transferred at the Closing,
which alternative arrangements the parties agree to use commercially reasonable
efforts to develop prior to, and enter into as of, the Closing Date), (B)
cooperate in any arrangement, reasonable and lawful as to Descartes and Fermat,
designed to provide to Fermat or its Subsidiaries the benefits arising under
such Delayed Ag Asset, including (1) accepting such reasonable direction as
Fermat shall request of Descartes and (2) in the event that (x) as a result of
there being a Delayed Ag Asset, the Automatic Transfer Ag Business Employees at
a particular location do not transfer automatically to Fermat or its
Subsidiaries at Closing by operation of Law pursuant to the applicable Transfer
Regulations, and (y) any such employees refuse or otherwise do not accept
Fermat’s or its Subsidiary’s offer of employment (made in accordance with
Section 5.8(b)), using commercially

reasonable efforts to make the services of such employees who have refused
Fermat’s or its Subsidiary’s offer of employment available to Fermat or its
Subsidiary at cost, in a manner and to the extent permitted by applicable Law
and subject to any works council notice and consultation requirements; provided
that, as long as Descartes is complying with its obligations under this clause
(2) and the applicable employees are providing services to Fermat as
contemplated hereby, Fermat shall indemnify the Descartes Indemnified Parties
for any Losses arising with respect to such services; provided, further, that
any Ag Business Employee whose transfer to Fermat or its Subsidiaries is delayed
in this connection shall be treated as a Transferred Ag Business Employee for
purposes of Section 5.8 as of the date he or she transfers to Fermat or its
Subsidiary; and (C) enforce at Fermat’s request, or allow Fermat and its
Affiliates to enforce in a commercially reasonable manner, any rights of
Descartes or its Subsidiaries under such Delayed Ag Asset against the other
party or parties thereto; provided that the costs and expenses incurred by
Descartes or its Affiliates at Fermat’s request shall be borne solely by Fermat.
Subject to the terms of the Ag Acquisition Documents, Descartes shall, and shall
cause its Subsidiaries to, without further consideration therefor, pay and remit
to Fermat promptly all monies, rights and other consideration received in
respect of such performance. Subject to the terms of the Ag Acquisition

its Subsidiaries or any Descartes Indemnified Party, respectively, or (2) taken
by any Descartes Indemnified Party at the direction of Fermat or any of its
Subsidiaries, except, in the case of clause (1) and clause (2), to the extent
arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct in
respect of such performance by such Descartes Indemnified Party (for which
Descartes shall indemnify Fermat).
(c)    In the event and to the extent that, prior to the Closing, Fermat or any
of its Subsidiaries is unable to obtain a license, consent, approval or
amendment required to assign, license, sublicense, lease, sublease, convey or
transfer any Delayed H&N Asset to Descartes, then following the Closing (but in
the case of any Delayed Site, subject to Section 5.11(f)), Fermat shall, and
shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to, in each
case, subject to the terms of the H&N Acquisition Documents, (A) continue to
hold and (to the extent that Descartes or its designee is unable to operate such
Delayed H&N Asset directly, which the parties agree shall be their mutual
priority and preference) operate such Delayed H&N Asset in all material respects
in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and taking into
account the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or otherwise pursuant
to reasonable and equitable alternative arrangements designed to place (but in
the case of any Delayed Site, subject to Section 5.11(f)) the parties in the
same place as if such Delayed H&N Asset had been transferred at the Closing,
which

alternative arrangements the parties agree to use commercially reasonable
efforts to develop prior to, and enter into as of, the Closing Date), (B)
cooperate in any arrangement, reasonable and lawful as to Fermat and Descartes,
designed to provide to Descartes or its Subsidiaries the benefits arising under
such Delayed H&N Asset, including (1) accepting such reasonable direction as
Descartes shall request of Fermat and (2)  in the event that (x) as a result of
there being a Delayed H&N Asset, the Automatic Transfer H&N Business Employees
at a particular location do not transfer automatically to Descartes or its
Subsidiaries at Closing by operation of Law pursuant to the applicable Transfer
Regulations, and (y) any such employees refuse or otherwise do not accept
Descartes’s or its Subsidiary’s offer of employment (made in accordance with
Section 5.9(b)), using commercially reasonable efforts to make the services of
such employees who have refused Descartes’s or its Subsidiary’s offer of
employment available to Descartes or its Subsidiary at cost, in a manner and to
the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to any works council notice
and consultation requirements; provided that, as long as Fermat is complying
with its obligations under this clause (2) and the applicable employees are
providing services to Descartes as contemplated hereby, Descartes shall
indemnify the Fermat Indemnified Parties for any Losses arising with respect to
such services; provided, further, that any H&N Business Employee whose transfer
to Descartes or its Subsidiaries is delayed in this connection shall be treated
as a Transferred H&N Business Employee for purposes of Section 5.9 as of the
date he or she transfers to Descartes or its Subsidiary, and (C) enforce at
Descartes’s request, or allow Descartes and its Affiliates to enforce in a
commercially reasonable manner, any rights of Fermat or its Subsidiaries under
such Delayed H&N Asset against the other party or parties thereto; provided that
the costs and expenses incurred by Fermat or its Affiliates at Descartes’s
request shall be borne solely by Descartes. Subject to the terms of the H&N
Acquisition Documents, Fermat shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to,
without further consideration therefor, pay and remit to Descartes promptly all
monies, rights and other consideration received in respect of such performance.
Subject to the terms of the H&N Acquisition Documents, Descartes shall pay,
perform and discharge fully, promptly when due, all of the obligations of Fermat
or its Subsidiaries in respect of the performance of their obligations pursuant

Liabilities related thereto and shall indemnify the Fermat Indemnified Parties
for all Losses arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) (1) of Descartes
and its Subsidiaries and of Fermat or any of its Affiliates arising out of such
performance by Descartes and its Subsidiaries or any Fermat Indemnified Party,
respectively, or (2) taken by any Fermat Indemnified Party at the direction of
Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries, except, in the case of clause (1) and
clause (2), to the extent arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct in respect of such performance by such Fermat Indemnified
Party (for which Fermat shall indemnify Descartes).
(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall not
be interpreted to derogate from, or create, any rights or obligations of the
parties inconsistent with the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

rights and obligations of the parties or their respective Subsidiaries set forth
in the Acquisition Documents.
(e)    Subject to clause (f), notwithstanding anything else set forth in this
Section 5.11, (i) neither Descartes nor any other of its Subsidiaries shall be
required by this Section 5.11 to take any action that may, in the good faith
judgment of Descartes or such Subsidiary, (A) result in a violation of any
obligation which Descartes or any such Subsidiary has to any third party or
(B) violate applicable Law and (ii) neither Fermat nor any other of its
Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action that may, in the good faith
judgment of Fermat or such Subsidiary, (A) result in a violation of any
obligation which Fermat or any such Subsidiary has to any third party or
(B) violate applicable Law.
(f)    The parties hereto acknowledge that Registrations for Transferred Ag
Active Ingredients and Transferred Ag Formulated Products, as well as for
Excluded Ag Formulations Assets, often include references to the manufacturing
source of the relevant active ingredient or formulated product. The parties
hereto agree to designate as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date
of this Agreement, expert regulatory representatives from each party to develop
a coordinated plan for communicating with applicable Governmental Entities in
relevant countries to inform them of the planned change of ownership and to
agree on a plan to file or record any changes necessary. Each party shall
designate its regulatory representative within five (5) days after the date
hereof, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to develop a plan and
initiate communications with Governmental Entities not later than forty-five
(45) days after the date hereof. The regulatory representatives shall also, not
later than fifteen (15) days after the date of this Agreement, cooperate in good
faith to develop a plan to implement, the Regulatory Transfer and Support
Agreement after the Closing Date. If the regulatory requirements of any specific
country would result in a material disruption of supply following (x) a change
of ownership of any Acquired Ag Owned Real Property or (y) a change of tenancy
of any Acquired Ag Leased Real Property (any such sites, “Delayed Sites”) at
Closing, the parties and/or their applicable Subsidiaries shall in good faith
enter into agreements effective as of the Closing based on the Ag Manufacturing
Agreements, modified as appropriate to take into account the terms set forth on
Exhibit E-6 (the “Delayed Site Term Sheet”, and any such agreements,
collectively, the “Delayed Site Agreements”) and any other terms appropriate to
the particular Acquired Ag Owned Real Property or Acquired Ag Leased Real
Property as may be mutually agreed by the parties, or, if agreed by the parties,
ensure continuity of supply pursuant to alternative means such as positioning
inventory before Closing or entering into a local distribution agreement, as
applicable, and, in each case, otherwise consistent with the principles
described in Section 5.11(a) and (b), as applicable.
(g)    The failure to obtain a consent or approval shall not in and of itself
constitute a breach of this Section 5.11; provided, that the foregoing shall not
preclude consideration of a

party’s efforts in pursuing such consent or approval for purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 5.11.

(a)    Except with respect to any Ag Intercompany Agreements (x) listed on
Section 5.17(a) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule (which may be amended by
Descartes to include intercompany agreements expressly provided for pursuant to

assets or proceeds thereof that were subject to or arose out of the settlement
of any such account balances; provided, that any such Liability arising out of
or relating to the termination or cancellation thereof remains a Retained Ag
Liability.
(b)    Except with respect to any H&N Intercompany Agreements (x) listed on
Section 5.17(b) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule (which may be amended by
Fermat to include intercompany agreements expressly provided for pursuant to the

(c)    From and after the date hereof until the Closing, Fermat and Descartes
shall cooperate in good faith to identify any intercompany accounts solely
between or among (x) the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries or (y) the Transferred H&N
Subsidiaries that would create at or immediately after the Closing a Liability
(other than an intercompany Liability) of Fermat and its Subsidiaries or
Descartes and its Subsidiaries, respectively, and in good faith work to minimize
any

such Liabilities (and share equally any costs (including any Taxes imposed on or
payable by Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries or Fermat or any of its
Subsidiaries, respectively) arising out of such efforts and actions taken to
achieve such outcomes as may be mutually agreed). Each of Descartes and Fermat
may also request that the other settle or cancel any other intercompany accounts
solely between or among the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries or Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries, as applicable, at the sole cost of the requesting party (which
costs shall include any Taxes imposed on or payable by the non-requesting party
or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such settlement or cancellation). For
the avoidance of doubt, the non-requesting party shall be entitled to deny any
such request in its sole discretion.

Section 5.18    Audited Financial Statements; Cooperation Regarding Pro Forma
Financial Statements.
(a)    Descartes shall deliver to Fermat, as promptly as reasonably practicable
after the Closing (and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the
Closing) (a) audited combined statements of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed of the Ag Business as at December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and
December 31, 2014, and the related audited combined statements of revenues and
direct expenses of the Ag Business for the years ended December 31, 2016,
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, together with all related notes and
schedules thereto, accompanied by the reports thereon of the independent
auditors of the Ag Business (the “Ag Business Audited Financial Statements”) and
(b) unaudited combined statements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of
the Ag Business as at the end of each Required Quarter and the end of the
corresponding fiscal quarter in the prior fiscal year and the related unaudited
combined statements of statements of revenues and direct expenses of the Ag
Business for each Required Quarter and for the corresponding fiscal quarter in
the prior fiscal year, in each case prepared on the same basis as the Ag
Business Audited Financial Statements (except that they contain the notes
required by GAAP as applicable to interim financial statements and are subject
to normal year-end adjustments) (collectively, the “Ag Business Unaudited
Interim Financial Statements”), in each case ((a) and (b)) that meets the
requirements of “abbreviated financial statements” as provided for in 2065.4-6
of the SEC Financial and Reporting Manual (giving effect to the waiver granted
to Fermat by the SEC prior to the date hereof) and that would satisfy the
requirements of Item 9.01 of Form 8-K with respect to financial statements of
the business acquired if included on a Form 8-K/A filed by Fermat on the 75th
day after the Closing to amend a Form 8-K filed by Fermat announcing the Closing
on the Closing Date (assuming such filings are made on such dates, without
regard to whether actually made on such dates). As soon as reasonably
practicable but in no event later than ninety-five (95) days after the Closing
Date, Descartes shall deliver to Fermat unaudited combined statements of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed of the Ag Business as at the end of any fiscal
quarter ended after the final Required Quarter but prior to the Closing Date
(and as at the end of the corresponding fiscal quarter in the prior fiscal year)
and as at the Closing Date and the related unaudited combined statements of
revenues and direct expenses of the Ag Business for any fiscal

-167-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

quarter ended after the final Required Quarter but prior to the Closing Date and
for the fiscal period commencing after the end of, as applicable, (x) such
fiscal quarter ended after the final Required Quarter but prior to the Closing
Date or (y) the final Required Quarter, and ending on the Closing Date, in each
case prepared on the same basis as the Ag Business Audited Financial Statements
(except that they contain the notes required by GAAP as applicable to stub
financial statements and are subject to normal year-end adjustments) and that
meets the requirements of “abbreviated financial statements” as provided for in
2065.4-6 of the SEC Financial and Reporting Manual (giving effect to the waiver
granted to Fermat by the SEC prior to the date hereof) (collectively, the “Ag
Business Stub Financial Statements”). The Ag Business Audited Financial
Statements, the Ag Business Unaudited Interim Financial Statements and the Ag
Business Stub Financial Statements shall be accompanied by a certificate in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit J, signed by a duly authorized officer of
Descartes (the “Descartes Financial Statements Certificate”).
(b)    From and after the Closing until the 75th day after the Closing Date,
Descartes shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
accountants, auditors and employees to, at Fermat’s sole expense, (i) discuss,
cooperate and provide information reasonably requested by Fermat or its
Representatives, that is reasonably necessary for Fermat to prepare unaudited
pro forma financial statements of Fermat for the periods described in clause (a)
above, and (ii) cooperate with Fermat with regards to responding to any comments
from the SEC concerning such pro forma financial statements.
(c)    In the event that Descartes fails to deliver the Ag Business Audited
Financial Statements and Ag Business Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
prior to the 55th day after the Closing, for each day after the 45th day after
the Closing that elapses prior to Descartes’s delivery of both the Ag Business
Audited Financial Statements and Ag Business Unaudited Interim Financial
Statements (the total number of such days, the “Late Statements Period”),
Descartes shall pay to Fermat, on a weekly basis in arrears, with the first such
payment to be made at the end of the week in which the 55th day after Closing
occurs, a fee equal to the then-accrued Late Statements Fee less any amounts
previously paid by Descartes pursuant to this Section 5.18(c), by wire transfer
of same-day funds no later than the first Business Day following the end of such
weekly period; provided, however, that if Descartes has not been able to timely
file its financial statements with the SEC for any fiscal period covered by the
Ag Business Unaudited Interim Financial Statements, such fee shall not accrue
until the later of (x) the 45th day after the Closing Date and (y) such time as
Descartes files its financial statements with the SEC for such fiscal periods
covered by the Ag Business Audited Financial Statements and Ag Business
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements (and shall not be payable until the first
Business Day following the end of the first weekly period ending after such
date). This Section 5.18(c) shall not impair the rights, if any, of Fermat or
Descartes to seek and obtain equitable relief.

-168-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained
in this Section 5.18 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, (ii) the Late Statements Fee is not a penalty and constitutes
liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Fermat in the
circumstances in which such fee is payable for the opportunities foregone caused
by such failure to timely deliver the Ag Business Audited Financial Statements
and the Ag Business Unaudited Interim Financial Statements, which amount would
otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and (iii) without these
agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement. If Descartes fails
to pay the Late Statements Fee pursuant to Section 5.18(c) when due, and, in
order to obtain such payment, Fermat commences a suit that results in a judgment
against Descartes for the Late Statements Fee, Descartes shall pay to Fermat its
costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Late
Statements Fee, as the case may be, from the date such payment was required to
be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate in the United States
prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect
on the date such payment was required to be made.
(e)    If so requested in writing by Descartes, Fermat shall (at Descartes’s
sole expense) cause to be prepared and delivered to Descartes, as soon as
reasonably practicable (and in any event within one hundred and eighty (180)
days after such request), (i) audited combined balance sheets of the H&N
Business as at December 31, 2014, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2016, and
related audited combined statements of operations, comprehensive loss, cash
flows and changes of equity of the H&N Business for the years ended December 31,
2014, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2016, together with all related notes
and schedules thereto, accompanied by reports thereon of the independent
auditors of the H&N Business (the “H&N Business Audited Financial Statements”),
(ii) unaudited combined balance sheets of the H&N Business as at the end of any
fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2016 (the “H&N Requested Quarters”),
but prior to the Closing and the end of the corresponding fiscal quarter in the
prior fiscal year and the related unaudited combined statements of operations,
comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes of equity of the H&N Business for
each such H&N Requested Quarter and the corresponding fiscal quarter in the
prior fiscal year, in each case prepared on the same basis as the H&N Business
Audited Financial Statements (except that they contain the notes required by
GAAP as applicable to interim financial statements and are subject to normal
year-end adjustments) and (iii) unaudited combined balance sheets of the H&N
Business as at the Closing Date, and the related unaudited combined statements
of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes of equity of the H&N
Business for the period from the end of the last H&N Requested Quarter until the
Closing Date, in each case prepared on the same basis as the H&N Business
Audited Financial Statements (except that they contain the notes required by
GAAP as applicable to stub financial statements and are subject to normal
year-end adjustments). Fermat shall, and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause its accountants, auditors and employees to, at Descartes’s sole
expense, (A) discuss, cooperate and

-169-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provide information reasonably requested by Descartes or its Representatives,
that is reasonably necessary for Descartes to prepare unaudited pro forma
financial statements for the periods described in the preceding sentence and
(B) cooperate with Descartes with regards to responding to any comments from the
SEC concerning such pro forma financial statements. Descartes shall cooperate in
good faith to allow Fermat to reasonably access the books and records of the H&N
Business and any Transferred H&N Business Employees as are reasonably required
to prepare such financial statements described in the first sentence of this
Section 5.18(e).
(f)    The parties agree to certain matters regarding internal controls as set
forth on Section 5.18(f) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedules.

Section 5.19    Transfer of Permits.
(a)    Fermat shall be responsible for preparing and submitting, on a timely
basis, all filings required to effect the transfer or reissuance of all Ag

executing any necessary forms as required and providing information in
Descartes’s possession to Fermat that is necessary for any such transfer or
reissuance request.
(b)    Following the Closing, Descartes shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries
to, use commercially reasonable efforts to, in each case, subject to the terms
of the Ag Acquisition Documents, (A) assist Fermat and its Subsidiaries by

apply to the applicable Governmental Entity for issuance of a new Permit to
Fermat or its Affiliate in place of each Ag Non-Transferable Permit,

material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice and taking into account the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, (C) cooperate in any arrangement, reasonable and lawful as to
Descartes and Fermat, designed to provide to Fermat or its Subsidiaries the

Non-Transferable Permit, including accepting such reasonable direction as Fermat
shall request of Descartes, and (D) enforce at Fermat’s request, or allow Fermat
and its Subsidiaries to enforce in a commercially reasonable manner, any rights

Business); provided, that the costs and expenses incurred by Descartes or its
Subsidiaries related to the foregoing clauses (A) – (D) at Fermat’s request
shall be borne solely by Fermat. Subject to the terms of the Ag Acquisition
Documents, Fermat shall pay, perform and discharge fully, promptly when due, all
of the obligations of Descartes or its Subsidiaries in respect of such
performance, and Fermat shall be responsible for all Assumed Ag Liabilities
related thereto and shall indemnify the Descartes Indemnified Parties for all
Losses arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of Descartes or any of
its Subsidiaries arising out of such performance or taken at the direction of

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schedule and Section 5.20 of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule, respectively.
Subject to Section 9.6, to the extent that a Liability is a Retained Ag
Liability or a Retained H&N Liability, respectively, Descartes or Fermat, as
applicable, shall remain liable for the costs and expenses associated with
maintaining such financial assurance, even in circumstances where an Indemnified
Party is required as a matter of applicable Law to obtain such financial
assurance.

Section 5.21    Guarantees.

(i)    Section 5.21(a)(i) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule contains a true
and correct list of all guarantees, indemnities, surety bonds, bank guarantee,
keepwell agreement, consumer financing arrangements, obligations under any
Contract (other than Descartes LCs) or other similar commitment, understanding,
agreement or obligation primarily relating to the Assumed Ag Liabilities or the
Ag Business for which Descartes or any Retained Descartes Subsidiary is or may
be liable as a guarantor or for which Descartes or any Retained Descartes
Subsidiary is required to provide financial support in any form whatsoever or by
reason of performance of guarantees outstanding as of the date hereof, but
excluding (x) obligations under Ag Shared Contracts and (y) obligations relating
to Indebtedness for borrowed money of Descartes and its Subsidiaries that are
not Assumed Ag Liabilities (the “Descartes Guarantees”), the maximum amount
guaranteed thereunder and, as of the date set forth on such schedule, the amount
of the third party guaranteed indebtedness with respect to such Descartes
Guarantee that is outstanding as of such date (other than any Descartes
Guarantees that will terminate or expire prior to the Effective Time). After the

consent of Fermat (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
other than (i) any Descartes Guarantees that will terminate or expire prior to
the Effective Time, (ii) new guarantees in connection with the Ag Customer
Financing Program (provided that the outstanding Descartes Guarantees under the
Ag Customer Financing Program shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate at

the Closing under which the maximum amount guaranteed, together with any
Descartes Guarantees in existence as of the date hereof that remain outstanding
as of the Closing Date, shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate. Prior to

Subsidiary under Descartes Guarantees on the Closing Date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    With respect to any Descartes Guarantees that remain outstanding after
the Closing Date, (i) Descartes and Fermat shall continue to cooperate and use
their respective commercially reasonable efforts to terminate, or, if the
parties are unable to so terminate, cause Fermat or one of its Subsidiaries to
be substituted in all respects for Descartes or any Retained Descartes
Subsidiary in respect of, all obligations under Descartes Guarantees,
(ii) Fermat shall indemnify and hold harmless Descartes Indemnified Parties for
amounts required to be paid under such Descartes Guarantees from and after the

average outstanding amount of the third party indebtedness guaranteed by
Descartes during such quarter under any outstanding Descartes Guarantees set

additional Descartes Guarantees entered into pursuant to the second sentence of

loan, Contract or other obligation for which Descartes or any Retained Descartes
Subsidiary is or would reasonably be expected to be liable under such Descartes
Guarantee. To the extent that Descartes or the Retained Descartes Subsidiaries
have performance obligations under any Descartes Guarantee, Fermat will use
commercially reasonable efforts to (x) perform such obligations on behalf of
Descartes and the Retained Descartes Subsidiaries or (y) otherwise take such
action as reasonably requested by Descartes so as to put Descartes and the
Retained Descartes Subsidiaries in the same position as if Fermat, and not
Descartes or a Retained Descartes Subsidiary, had performed or were performing
such obligations.
(iii)    Without limiting Section 5.21(a)(ii), following the Closing, Fermat
shall not permit any of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries to renew, extend the
term of or admit any new customer into any financing program in respect of the
Ag Business that is guaranteed by Descartes or any Retained Descartes Subsidiary
(an “Ag Customer Financing Program”), and upon the earlier of (i) the failure by
Fermat or any of its Subsidiaries to perform on a timely basis any obligation
with respect to an Ag Customer Financing Program (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, payment of any fee or indemnification obligation to Descartes pursuant
to this Section 5.21(a)) or (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months following
the Closing, then, in addition to any other right or remedy available to
Descartes, Fermat shall, at Descartes’s request, take any and all actions
necessary to terminate or accelerate the expiration of any Ag Customer Financing
Program (or terminate or accelerate the expiration of any guarantees with
respect to any customers under, or remove any customers from, any Ag Customer
Financing Program), including by causing Fermat or one of its Subsidiaries to be
substituted in all respects for Descartes or any Retained Descartes Subsidiary
under any guarantees. In addition, it is understood that from and after the date

Agreement, Descartes and its Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to admit any
new customer into any Ag Customer Financing Program, offer any new Ag Customer
Financing Program, renew or extend any existing Ag Customer Financing Program or
renew or extend any guarantee (or offer any new guarantee) in respect of any
customer under any existing Ag Customer Financing Program. For so long as
Descartes or any Retained Descartes Subsidiary remains liable for any amounts
outstanding under any Ag Customer Financing Program, Fermat shall provide
monthly status reports on customers in such Ag Customer Financing Program, which
shall include information on outstanding exposure by customer and in total for
such Ag Customer Financing Program and customer compliance with payment terms.
(iv)    Section 5.21(a)(iv) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule contains a true
and correct list of the Descartes LCs outstanding as of the date set forth on
such schedule and the amounts thereof, as well as their respective expiration
dates (other than any Descartes LCs that will terminate or expire prior to the
Effective Time). After the date hereof, Descartes shall not issue any Descartes
LC without the consent of Fermat, other than any Descartes LCs (x) that will
terminate or expire prior to the Effective Time or (y) that, as of immediately
following the Closing, shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate. Prior to
the Closing Date, Descartes and Fermat shall cooperate and Fermat shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to replace all letters of credit issued by
Descartes or the Retained Descartes Subsidiaries on behalf of or in favor of any
of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries or the Ag Business, including those listed on
Section 5.21(a)(iv) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule (the “Descartes LCs”),
as promptly as practicable with letters of credit from Fermat or one of its
Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. With respect to any Descartes LCs that
remain outstanding after the Closing Date, (i) Fermat shall indemnify and hold
harmless Descartes Indemnified Parties for any drawing under any such letters of
credit, (ii) Fermat shall pay to Descartes a fee payable at the end of each
calendar quarter, commencing with the first calendar quarter beginning after the
first (1st) anniversary of the Closing, based on a rate of 6% per annum on the
average outstanding amount during such quarter of any outstanding Descartes LCs,
and (iii) without the prior written consent of Descartes, Fermat and its
Subsidiaries shall not, and shall not permit any of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates to, enter into renew or extend the term
of, amend so as to increase its obligations under, or transfer to a third party
other than Fermat or its Subsidiaries, any loan, lease, Contract or other
obligation in connection with which Descartes or any Retained Descartes
Subsidiary has issued any letters of credit which remain outstanding. The

consumer financing arrangements, obligations under any Contract (other than
Fermat LCs) or other similar commitment, understanding, agreement or obligation
primarily relating to the Assumed H&N Liabilities or the H&N Business for which
Fermat or any Retained Fermat Subsidiary is or may be liable as a guarantor or
for which Fermat or any Retained Fermat Subsidiary is required to provide
financial support in any form whatsoever or by reason of performance of
guarantees outstanding as of the date hereof, but excluding (x) obligations
under H&N Shared Contracts and (y) obligations relating to Indebtedness for
borrowed money of Fermat and its Subsidiaries that are not Assumed H&N
Liabilities (the “Fermat Guarantees”), the maximum amount guaranteed thereunder
and, as of the date set forth on such schedule, the amount of the third party
guaranteed indebtedness with respect to such Fermat Guarantee that is
outstanding as of such date (other than any Fermat Guarantees that will
terminate or expire prior to the Effective Time). After the date hereof, Fermat
shall not enter into any Fermat Guarantee without the consent of Descartes (not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), other than (i) any Fermat
Guarantees that will terminate or expire prior to the Effective Time, (ii) new
guarantees in connection with the H&N Customer Financing Program (provided that
the outstanding Fermat Guarantees under the H&N Customer Financing Program shall

Guarantees (other than in connection with the H&N Customer Financing Program)
provided in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices that
will remain in effect immediately following the Closing under which the maximum
amount guaranteed, together with any Fermat Guarantees in existence as of the
date hereof that remain outstanding as of the Closing Date, shall not exceed
$5,000,000 in the aggregate. Prior to the Closing Date, Fermat and Descartes
shall cooperate and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts
to terminate, or, if the parties are unable to so terminate, cause Descartes or
one of its Subsidiaries to be substituted in all respects for Fermat or the
applicable Retained Fermat Subsidiary in respect of, all obligations of Fermat
or any Retained Fermat Subsidiary under Fermat Guarantees on the Closing Date.
(ii)    With respect to any Fermat Guarantees that remain outstanding after the
Closing Date, (i) Fermat and Descartes shall continue to cooperate and use their
respective commercially reasonable efforts to terminate, or, if the parties are
unable to so terminate, cause Descartes or one of its Subsidiaries to be
substituted in all respects for Fermat or any Retained Fermat Subsidiary in
respect of, all obligations under Fermat Guarantees, (ii) Descartes shall
indemnify and hold harmless Fermat Indemnified Parties for amounts required to
be paid under such Fermat Guarantees from and after the Closing, (iii) Descartes

anniversary of the Closing, based on a rate of 6% per annum on the average
outstanding amount of the third party indebtedness guaranteed by Fermat during
such quarter under any outstanding Fermat Guarantees set forth on Section
5.21(b)(i) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule or any additional Fermat Guarantees
entered into pursuant to the second sentence of Section 5.21(b)(i) and
(iv) Descartes shall not permit any of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries or any
of their

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affiliates to (A) renew or extend the term of, (B) increase its obligations
under, (C) amend in any manner, except as contemplated pursuant to clause (i)
above or otherwise required by this Agreement or (D) transfer to another third
party other than Descartes or its Subsidiaries any loan, Contract or other
obligation for which Fermat or any Retained Fermat Subsidiary is or would
reasonably be expected to be liable under such Fermat Guarantee. To the extent
that Fermat or the Retained Fermat Subsidiaries have performance obligations
under any Fermat Guarantee, Descartes will use commercially reasonable efforts
to (x) perform such obligations on behalf of Fermat and the Retained Fermat
Subsidiaries or (y) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by Fermat
so as to put Fermat and the Retained Fermat Subsidiaries in the same position as
if Descartes, and not Fermat or a Retained Fermat Subsidiary, had performed or
were performing such obligations.
(iii)    Without limiting Section 5.21(b)(ii), following the Closing, Descartes
shall not permit any of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries to renew, extend the
term of or admit any new customer into any financing program in respect of the
H&N Business that is guaranteed by Fermat or any Retained Fermat Subsidiary (a
“H&N Customer Financing Program”), and upon the earlier of (i) the failure by
Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries to perform on a timely basis any obligation
with respect to a H&N Customer Financing Program (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, payment of any fee or indemnification obligation to Fermat pursuant to
this Section 5.21(b)) or (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months following the
Closing, then, in addition to any other right or remedy available to Fermat,
Descartes shall, at Fermat’s request, take any and all actions necessary to
terminate or accelerate the expiration of any H&N Customer Financing Program (or
terminate or accelerate the expiration of any guarantees with respect to any
customers under, or remove any customers from, any H&N Customer Financing
Program), including by causing Descartes or one of its Subsidiaries to be
substituted in all respects for Fermat or any Retained Fermat Subsidiary under
any guarantees. In addition, it is understood that from and after the date of
this Agreement, Fermat and its Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to admit any
new customer into any H&N Customer Financing Program, offer any new H&N Customer
Financing Program, renew or extend any existing H&N Customer Financing Program
or renew or extend any guarantee (or offer any new guarantee) in respect of any
customer under any existing H&N Customer Financing Program. For so long as
Fermat or any Retained Fermat Subsidiary remains liable for any amounts
outstanding under any H&N Customer Financing Program, Descartes shall provide
monthly status reports on customers in such H&N Customer Financing Program,
which shall include information on outstanding exposure by customer and in total
for such H&N Customer Financing Program and customer compliance with payment
terms.
(iv)    Section 5.21(b)(iv) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule contains a true
and correct list of the Fermat LCs outstanding as of the date set forth on such
schedule and the amounts thereof, as well as their respective expiration dates
(other than any Fermat LCs that will terminate or expire prior to the Effective
Time). After the date hereof, Fermat shall not issue any Fermat LC without the
consent of Descartes, other than any Fermat LCs (x) that will terminate or

-176-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

expire prior to the Effective Time or (y) that, as of immediately following the
Closing, shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate. Prior to the Closing
Date, Fermat and Descartes shall cooperate and Descartes shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to replace all letters of credit issued by Fermat or the
Retained Fermat Subsidiaries on behalf of or in favor of any of the Transferred
H&N Subsidiaries or the H&N Business, including those listed on Section
5.21(b)(iv) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule (the “Fermat LCs”), as promptly as
practicable with letters of credit from Descartes or one of its Subsidiaries as
of the Closing Date. With respect to any Fermat LCs that remain outstanding
after the Closing Date, (i) Descartes shall indemnify and hold harmless Fermat
Indemnified Parties for any drawing under any such letters of credit, (ii)
Descartes shall pay to Fermat a fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter,
commencing with the first calendar quarter beginning after the first (1st)
anniversary of the Closing, based on a rate of 6% per annum on the average
outstanding amount during such quarter of any outstanding Fermat LCs, and
(iii) without the prior written consent of Fermat, Descartes and its
Subsidiaries shall not, and shall not permit any of the Transferred H&N
Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates to, enter into renew or extend the term
of, amend so as to increase its obligations under, or transfer to a third party
other than Descartes or its Subsidiaries, any loan, lease, Contract or other
obligation in connection with which Fermat or any Retained Fermat Subsidiary has
issued any letters of credit which remain outstanding. The parties hereto agree
that neither Fermat nor any of the Retained Fermat Subsidiaries will have any
obligation to renew any letters of credit issued on behalf of any Transferred
H&N Subsidiary or the H&N Business after the expiration of any such letter of
credit.
(c)    For purposes of this Section 5.21, “commercially reasonable efforts”
shall not require Descartes or Fermat to, or to cause any of their respective
Subsidiaries to, make or accelerate any payment under any loan, Contract or
other obligation for which Descartes or its Subsidiaries (other than the
Transferred Ag Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) or Fermat or its
Subsidiaries (other than the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries and their
Subsidiaries), respectively, is or may be liable under any Descartes Guarantee
or Descartes LC or Fermat Guarantee or Fermat LC, respectively, or prior to the
date such payment is due.

reasonably requested by Fermat (provided that no obligation under any such
document or agreement will take effect until the Closing), and (vii) providing
all cooperation that is reasonably necessary to satisfy the conditions precedent
to any documents relating to the Financing, but solely to the extent the
satisfaction of such conditions requires the cooperation of, or is within the
control of Descartes or its Subsidiaries; provided, that the foregoing
cooperation obligations shall not create an obligation to provide any financial
statements, and Descartes’s obligation to deliver such financial statements
(including the timing of delivery thereof) shall be governed solely by Section
5.18(a); provided, further, that, in each case, (A) none of Descartes or its

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

goodwill or marks, (ii) otherwise materially adversely affect Descartes or any
of its Subsidiaries or (iii) in any manner, violate any existing contractual
obligations of Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein or in any other
agreement between Descartes and Fermat (or their respective Affiliates),
Descartes and its Subsidiaries agree that Fermat and its Affiliates may share
any confidential information with respect to Descartes and its Subsidiaries
which conduct the Ag Business and the Ag Business with any Financing Sources,
and that Fermat and their respective Affiliates may share such information with
potential Financing Sources in connection with any marketing efforts with
respect to the Financing; provided, that the recipients of such information and
any other confidential information contemplated to be provided by the Descartes
and its Subsidiaries which conduct the Ag Business or any of their respective
Affiliates pursuant to this Section 5.25, agree to customary confidentiality
arrangements, including “click through” confidentiality agreements and
confidentiality provisions contained in customary bank books and offering
memoranda.

(a)    Fermat shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper
or advisable to arrange and consummate the Financing in an amount that, when
taken together with cash, cash equivalents and other current financial assets
and other immediately available funds, would be sufficient for the satisfaction
of the Fermat Group’s payment obligations under this Agreement (including
payment of the Cash Balancing Amount) that are due and payable on the Closing
Date. Fermat shall not (without the prior written consent of Descartes, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) consent or
agree to any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision under,
or terminate or replace the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements
relating to the Debt Financing, if such amendment, modification, waiver,
termination or replacement (i) decreases the aggregate amount of the Debt
Financing to an amount that, when taken together with any remaining commitments
for the Debt Financing, any commitment for Financing with conditionality not
materially less favorable to Fermat than the conditionality under the Debt
Commitment Letter, cash, cash equivalents and other current financial assets and
other immediately available funds, would be insufficient for the satisfaction of
Fermat’s payment obligations under this Agreement (including payment of the Cash
Balancing Amount) that are due and payable on the Closing Date or (ii) imposes
new or additional material conditions or otherwise materially expands any of the
conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing or otherwise would or would
reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the funding or financing
described therein or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt Fermat shall be permitted
to consent or agree to any amendment or modification, or any waiver of any
provision, under the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification or
waiver solely adds lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or

-182-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the
date hereof as parties thereto. Each of Fermat and Descartes acknowledges and
agrees that Fermat’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby is not subject to a financing condition under Article VII or otherwise.
(b)    Fermat shall keep Descartes reasonably and promptly informed with respect
to all material developments concerning the Debt Financing pursuant to the Debt
Commitment Letter. Without limiting the foregoing, Fermat agrees to notify
Descartes promptly if (i) the Debt Commitment Letter shall expire or be
terminated for any reason, (ii) any Financing Source that is a party to any Debt
Commitment Letter notifies Fermat in writing that such source no longer intends
to provide financing to Fermat on the terms set forth therein or (iii) Fermat
receives any written notice, or other written communication with respect to,
(A) any material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the
Debt Commitment Letter, (B) any material dispute or disagreement between or
among parties to the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to the obligation to
fund the Debt Financing or the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded at the
Closing or (C) the occurrence of any other event or circumstance that would
reasonably be expected to result in the inability of Fermat to have sufficient
immediately available funds on the Closing Date to satisfy its payment
obligations under this Agreement (including payment of the Cash Balancing
Amount) that are due and payable on the Closing Date.

applicable recordations and perfection of the assignment of the Ag Business
Intellectual Property from Descartes or one or more of its Subsidiaries to

recordation or perfection of the assignment of the Ag Business Intellectual
Property within six (6) months following the Closing Date.

Descartes or one or more of its Subsidiaries, as determined by Descartes, and
Fermat agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts

Section 5.29    Essential Systems and Services(a)    From the date of this
Agreement to the Closing, (i) Descartes shall, at Descartes’ sole cost except as
otherwise expressly provided, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause
to be taken, any and all actions, and do, or cause to be done, any and all
things necessary, proper or advisable, including dedicating Descartes employees,
hiring additional employees, engaging third party consultants and otherwise
committing resources, to make available to Fermat at the Closing the systems and
functions set forth on Section 5.29(a)(i) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule
(the “Essential Ag Transition Systems”), and the services set forth on Section
5.29(a)(ii) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule (the “Essential Ag Transition
Services” and, together with the Essential Ag Transition Systems, the “Essential
Ag Transition Matters”).
(b)    From the date of this Agreement to the Closing, Fermat shall, at Fermat’s
sole cost except as otherwise expressly provided, use its reasonable best
efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions and do, or cause to
be done, any and all things necessary, proper or advisable, including dedicating
Fermat employees, hiring additional employees, engaging third party consultants
and otherwise committing resources, to make available to Descartes the
information and other matters set forth on Section 5.29(b) of the Fermat
Disclosure Schedule (the “Fermat Ag System Contributions”) as promptly as
reasonably practicable and in no event later than the applicable date set forth
on Section 5.29(b) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule (unless any such delay is
de minimis and does not adversely impact Descartes’s ability to fulfill its
obligations hereunder).
(c)    The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Essential Ag Transition
Services are starting points and are not the complete or final Essential Ag
Transition Services (except that the complete and final version thereof shall in
no event include the Excluded Descartes Services) and (ii) the mutual purpose
and goal of the Essential Ag Transition Services are (A) for the Essential Ag
Transition Matters, Ag Acquisition Documents and Sections 5.10, 5.11, 5.12,
5.19(b) and 5.23, to enable Fermat to operate the Ag Business from and after the
Closing in all material respects as the Ag Business is being operated as of the
date hereof without disruption or delays (other than due to the absence of
Excluded Descartes Services) and (B) for the Fermat Ag System Contributions to
provide for all information, cooperation and deliveries from Fermat to Descartes
that are necessary for Descartes to be able to deliver and provide the Essential
Ag Transition Systems at and as of the Closing as contemplated hereby in all
material respects. The parties further acknowledge and agree that both the
foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are intended to be collaborative, requiring joint
efforts and cooperation. Without limiting the foregoing, (1) Descartes shall
provide to Fermat all cooperation reasonably requested by Fermat in connection
with planning, designing and implementing the Fermat Ag System Contributions as
set forth on Section 5.29(b) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule on a timely basis
and (2) Fermat shall provide to Descartes all cooperation reasonably requested
by Descartes in connection with planning, designing and implementing the
Essential Ag Transition Systems on a timely basis.

(d)    If Descartes has reason to believe that the Essential Ag Transition
Systems will not be ready as of the then-anticipated Closing Date, Descartes
shall promptly notify Fermat and the parties shall meet to discuss in good faith
any additional measures necessary to enable the Essential Ag Transition Systems
to be available as of the Closing and any alternative measures that may allow
Fermat to conduct the Ag Business from and after the Closing in the manner
currently contemplated. If Fermat has reason to believe that any of the Fermat
Ag System Contributions will not be ready as of the applicable date set forth on
Section 5.29(b) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule, Fermat shall promptly notify
Descartes and the parties shall meet to discuss in good faith any additional
measures necessary to enable the Fermat Ag System Contributions to be available
as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter (and to enable the Essential Ag
Transition Systems to be ready as of the then-anticipated Closing Date) and any
alternative measures that may allow Fermat to conduct the Ag Business from and
after the Closing in the manner currently contemplated. If Descartes incurs any
additional costs or expenses to provide any additional systems, functions or
services to Fermat as a result of Fermat’s failure to timely deliver the Fermat
Ag System Contributions or Descartes’s reasonable expectation that Fermat would
be unable to timely deliver the Fermat Ag System Contributions as of the
applicable date set forth on Section 5.29(b) of the Fermat Disclosure Schedule
(provided, that Descartes shall notify Fermat of any such expectation and
provide Fermat with an opportunity to discuss in good faith any such expectation
prior to incurring such additional costs or expenses), then Fermat shall
promptly reimburse Descartes for any such costs and expenses by wire transfer of
immediately available funds promptly upon delivery of an invoice to Fermat by
Descartes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Essential Ag Transition Systems shall not be deemed to constitute Acquired Ag
Assets and shall only be required to be made available to Fermat and its
Subsidiaries pursuant to the Ag Cross Transition Services Agreement. Descartes
shall, if requested by Fermat, consider in good faith any offer by Fermat to
acquire any of the Essential Ag Transition Systems or any portion thereof after
the Closing.
(e)    At the Closing, Descartes shall deliver to Fermat a certificate, dated as
of such delivery and signed on behalf of Descartes by an executive officer of
Descartes, stating that Descartes stands ready, willing and able to make
available (other than, if applicable, any immaterial exceptions that are
specifically identified in such notice) to Fermat, as of and following the
Closing, the final Essential Ag Transition Matters, and, at the Closing, Fermat
shall deliver to Descartes a certificate, dated as of such delivery and signed
on behalf of Fermat by an executive officer of Fermat, stating that Fermat has
provided to Descartes the Fermat Ag System Contributions (other than, if
applicable, any immaterial exceptions that are specifically identified in such
notice); provided, that the obligation of Descartes pursuant to this sentence
with respect to an Essential Ag Transition System and/or an Essential Ag
Transition Service shall be deemed satisfied for all purposes to the extent such
Essential Ag Transition Matter cannot be made available due to the failure of
Fermat to timely deliver any Fermat Ag System Contribution on the applicable
date set

this Section 5.29).
(f)    From the date of this Agreement to the Closing, (i) Fermat shall, at
Fermat’s sole cost except as otherwise expressly provided, use its reasonable
best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions, and do, or

Transition Systems, the “Essential H&N Transition Matters”).
(g)    From the date of this Agreement to the Closing, Descartes shall, at
Descartes’s sole cost except as otherwise expressly provided, use its reasonable
best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions and do, or cause
to be done, any and all things necessary, proper or advisable, including
dedicating Descartes employees, hiring additional employees, engaging third
party consultants and otherwise committing resources, to make available to
Fermat the information and other matters set forth on Section 5.29(g) of the
Descartes Disclosure Schedule (the “Descartes H&N System Contributions”) as
promptly as reasonably practicable and in no event later than the applicable
date set forth on Section 5.29(g) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule (unless
any such delay is de minimis and does not adversely impact Fermat’s ability to
fulfill its obligations hereunder).
(h)    The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Essential H&N Transition
Services are starting points and are not the complete or final Essential H&N
Transition Services (except that the complete and final version thereof shall in
no event include the Excluded Fermat Services) and (ii) the mutual purpose and
goal of the Essential H&N Transition Services are (A) for the Essential H&N
Transition Matters, H&N Acquisition Documents and Sections 5.10, 5.11, 5.12,
5.19(b) and 5.23, to enable Descartes to operate the H&N Business from and after
the Closing in all material respects as the H&N Business is being operated as of
the date hereof without disruption or delays (other than due to the absence of
Excluded Fermat Services) and (B) for the Descartes H&N System Contributions to
provide for all information, cooperation and deliveries from Descartes to Fermat
that are necessary for Fermat to be able to deliver and provide the Essential
H&N Transition System at and as of the Closing as contemplated hereby in all
material respects. The parties further acknowledge and agree that both the
foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are intended to be collaborative, requiring joint
efforts and cooperation. Without limiting the foregoing, (1) Fermat shall
provide to Descartes all cooperation reasonably requested by Descartes in
connection with planning, designing and implementing the Descartes H&N System
Contributions

as set forth on Section 5.29(g) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule on a timely
basis and (2) Descartes shall provide to Fermat all cooperation reasonably
requested by Fermat in connection with planning, designing and implementing the
Essential H&N Transition Systems on a timely basis.
(i)    If Fermat has reason to believe that the Essential H&N Transition Systems
will not be ready as of the then-anticipated Closing Date, Fermat shall promptly
notify Descartes and the parties shall meet to discuss in good faith any
additional measures necessary to enable the Essential H&N Transition Systems to
be available as of the Closing and any alternative measures that may allow
Descartes to conduct the H&N Business from and after the Closing in the manner

Descartes H&N System Contributions will not be ready as of the applicable date
set forth on Section 5.29(g) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule, Descartes
shall promptly notify Fermat and the parties shall meet to discuss in good faith
any additional measures necessary to enable the Descartes H&N System

(and to enable the Essential H&N Transition System to be ready as of the
then-anticipated Closing Date) and any alternative measures that may allow
Descartes to conduct the H&N Business from and after the Closing in the manner
currently contemplated. If Fermat incurs any additional costs or expenses to
provide any additional systems, functions or services to Descartes as a result
of Descartes’s failure to timely deliver the Descartes H&N System Contributions
or Fermat’s reasonable expectation that Descartes would be unable to timely
deliver the Descartes H&N System Contributions as of the applicable date set
forth on Section 5.29(g) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule (provided, that
Fermat shall notify Descartes of any such expectation and provide Descartes with
an opportunity to discuss in good faith any such expectation prior to incurring
such additional costs or expenses), then Descartes shall promptly reimburse
Fermat for any such costs and expenses by wire transfer of immediately available
funds promptly upon delivery of an invoice to Descartes by Fermat.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Essential H&N
Transition Systems shall not be deemed to constitute Acquired H&N Assets and
shall only be required to be made available to Descartes and its Subsidiaries
pursuant to the H&N Cross Transition Services Agreement. Fermat shall, if
requested by Descartes, consider in good faith any offer by Descartes to acquire
any of the Essential H&N Transition Systems or any portion thereof after the
Closing.
(j)    At the Closing, Fermat shall deliver to Descartes a certificate, dated as
of such delivery and signed on behalf of Fermat by an executive officer of
Fermat, stating that Fermat stands ready, willing and able to make available
(other than, if applicable, any immaterial exceptions that are specifically
identified in such notice) to Descartes, as of and following the Closing, the
final Essential H&N Transition Matters, and, at the Closing, Descartes shall
deliver to Fermat a certificate, dated as of such delivery and signed on behalf
of Descartes by an executive officer of Descartes, stating that Descartes has
provided to Fermat the Descartes H&N System Contributions (other than, if
applicable, any immaterial exceptions that are specifically identified in such
notice);

provided, that the obligation of Fermat pursuant to this sentence with respect
to an Essential H&N Transition Matter shall be deemed satisfied for all purposes
to the extent such Essential H&N Transition Matter cannot be made available due
to the failure of Descartes to timely deliver any Descartes H&N System
Contribution on the applicable date set forth on Section 5.29(g) of the
Descartes Disclosure Schedule (except and to the extent caused by a material
breach of Fermat of its obligations under Section 5.29(g) of the Descartes

(k)    In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties shall use their
respective reasonable best efforts, acting reasonably and in good faith, to
revise as appropriate and finalize (including by providing for an appropriate
level of detail and specificity in light of the purpose and goal set forth in
Section 5.29(c) above and Section 5.29(h), as well as additional items where
necessary or appropriate) and mutually agree on the final Essential Ag
Transition Services and final Essential H&N Transition Services as promptly as
possible, and in no event later than 60 days, after the date hereof, including
by making available all appropriate functional and corporate employees, officers
and other representatives (for conference calls and/or in-person meetings as
reasonable and appropriate) and information on a timely basis (the “Finalization
Process”). During the course of the Finalization Process (the completion of
which shall be deemed to occur (i) with respect to the Essential Ag Transition
Services when the final Essential Ag Transition Services have been mutually
agreed and (ii) with respect to the Essential H&N Transition Services when the
final Essential H&N Transition Services have been mutually agreed), should any
dispute arise between the parties, including with respect to the appropriate
form, content or substance of the final Essential Ag Transition Services and
final Essential H&N Transition Services, such dispute shall be promptly elevated
to senior officers within Descartes and Fermat, respectively, in each case with
decision making authority over the matters in dispute and, if any such dispute
remains unresolved within five (5) days, shall be immediately elevated to the
chief executive officers of Descartes and Fermat, respectively, with the
mutually acknowledged priority of resolving such dispute as promptly as possible
in a manner consistent with the purpose and goals as described in
Sections 5.29(c) and 5.29(h). The parties further agree that (A) the form of Ag
Cross Transition Services Agreement shall be modified as appropriate to reflect
the final Essential Ag Transition Services and (B) the form of the H&N Cross
Transition Services Agreement shall be modified as appropriate to reflect the
final Essential H&N Transition Services.
(l)    Joint Essential Systems and Services Working Group.
(i)    A joint working committee comprised of the Representatives of Descartes
and Fermat set forth on Section 5.29(l)(i) of the Descartes Disclosure Schedule
and Fermat Disclosure Schedule, respectively (such Persons, the “Descartes ESS
Designees” and the “Fermat ESS Designees”, respectively, and collectively, the
“ESS Designees”), is hereby established (the “ESS Committee”). From and after
the date of this Agreement, the ESS Committee shall meet on

-192-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a regular basis, in person or by telephone, but no less than once per week (and
Descartes and Fermat shall cause at least a majority of the Descartes ESS
Designees and a majority of the Fermat ESS Designees, respectively, to attend
each such meeting), without requirement for any quorum, at a time and place
agreed by a majority of the ESS Designees or, in the absence of agreement, at
9:00 a.m. telephonically each Friday. None of the ESS Designees shall have
decision-making authority with respect to either party, but shall be authorized
to make the notifications contemplated by this Section 5.29(l). At each meeting,
the ESS Designees in attendance shall discuss the actions taken since the last
meeting toward providing, and the status generally of, the Fermat Ag System
Contributions, the Descartes H&N System Contributions, the Essential Ag
Transition Systems, the Essential H&N Transition Systems, the Essential Ag
Transition Services (reflecting any changes pursuant to the Finalization
Process) and the Essential H&N Transition Services (reflecting any changes
pursuant to the Finalization Process), and in good faith work to assist the
parties in complying with their obligations under this Section 5.29. At any such
meeting, the Descartes ESS Designees may notify the Fermat ESS Designees of any
failure by Fermat to timely deliver any Fermat Ag System Contribution, and the
Fermat ESS Designees may notify the Descartes ESS Designees of any failure by
Descartes to timely deliver any Descartes H&N System Contribution, and the ESS
Designees shall discuss in good faith whether such failure is immaterial and
whether any corrective action is available that would allow for the delivery of
the Essential Ag Transition Systems and the Essential H&N Transition Systems on
or prior to November 1, 2017. If the ESS Designees are unable to resolve whether
each such failure is immaterial or agree to such a corrective action, the matter
shall be referred to the chief executive officers of the parties.
(ii)    (A) If the Descartes ESS Designees have knowledge, after reasonable
inquiry, of any failure by Fermat to timely deliver any Fermat Ag System
Contribution, and fail to notify in writing the Fermat ESS Designees thereof for
two meetings after gaining such knowledge, Descartes shall be deemed to have
waived its right to assert that Fermat failed to timely deliver such Fermat Ag
System Contribution, and (B) if the Fermat ESS Designees have knowledge, after
reasonable inquiry, of any failure by Descartes to timely deliver any Descartes
H&N System Contribution, and fail to notify in writing the Descartes ESS
Designees thereof for two meetings after gaining such knowledge, Fermat shall be
deemed to have waived its right to assert that Descartes failed to timely
deliver such Descartes H&N System Contributions; provided, however, that if all
of the Fermat ESS Designees or all of the Descartes ESS Designees fail to attend
a meeting, such meeting shall not be counted toward such two meeting limitation
with respect to the written notice requirement of the Descartes ESS Designees or
the Fermat ESS Designees, as applicable, and Descartes or Fermat, as applicable,
shall be entitled to deliver such written notice to the other party in writing
or deliver such written notice to the Fermat ESS Designees or the Descartes ESS
Designees, as applicable, at either of the next two meetings that such absent
ESS Designees attend (or if such absent ESS Designees fail to attend all further
meetings, Descartes or Fermat, as applicable, shall be deemed to have delivered
written notice of such failure at the time Fermat failed

Agreement and subject to Section 5.11, each of the parties agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts before and after the Closing Date to take or cause to be
taken all action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with
the other party hereto in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable Laws to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner
practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, (a) the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the obligations

agreements of the nature contemplated thereby, (iii) if the applicable parties
are unable to reach agreement on any material term or condition of any such
Acquisition Document (to the extent not already set forth in a term sheet
attached hereto) such that a definitive agreement is not executed and delivered
at the time of Closing, the Closing shall not be delayed but instead the
applicable term sheet shall become a binding obligation as the applicable
Acquisition Document contemplated hereunder and shall remain in effect until a
definitive agreement replacing such term sheet has been mutually negotiated and
executed by all parties thereto and (b) with respect to each other Acquisition

the closing conditions set forth in Article VII or otherwise delay the Closing
hereunder); provided, further that the parties agree that the schedules and

Section 6.3    Straddle Periods.
(a)    To the extent permitted or required by applicable Law, the taxable year
of each of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries that includes the Closing Date shall
be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date. To the extent not
permitted or required by applicable Law, for purposes of this Agreement, in the
case of any Straddle Period, (a) Property Taxes of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries or imposed on the Ag Business allocable to the Pre-Closing Period
shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle
Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
calendar days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Period and
the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle
Period, and (b) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries allocable to the Pre-Closing Period shall be computed as if such
taxable period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date and in a
manner consistent with past practices of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries (or of
Descartes with respect to the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries); provided, that
exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis
(including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between
the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing
Date in proportion to the number of days in each period. Each Transferred Ag
Subsidiary that is classified as a partnership or other “flowthrough” entity for
income Tax purposes shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as if its
taxable year ended as of the end of the Closing Date and Taxes attributable to
taxable income or gain of each such entity through the close of business on the
Closing Date shall be considered to be attributable to the Pre-Closing Period.
(b)    To the extent permitted or required by applicable Law, the taxable year
of each of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries that includes the Closing Date shall
be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date. To the extent not
permitted or required by applicable Law, for purposes of this Agreement, in the
case of any Straddle Period, (a) Property Taxes of the Transferred H&N
Subsidiaries or imposed on the H&N Business allocable to the Pre-Closing Period
shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle
Period multiplied by a

-196-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the
Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Period and the denominator of which
is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, and (b) Taxes
(other than Property Taxes) of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries allocable to the
Pre-Closing Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the
end of the day on the Closing Date and in a manner consistent with past
practices of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries (or of Fermat with respect to the
Transferred H&N Subsidiaries); provided, that exemptions, allowances or
deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and
amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the
Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to
the number of days in each period. Each Transferred H&N Subsidiary that is
classified as a partnership or other “flowthrough” entity for income Tax
purposes shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as if its taxable year
ended as of the end of the Closing Date and Taxes attributable to taxable income
or gain of each such entity through the close of business on the Closing Date
shall be considered to be attributable to the Pre-Closing Period.

Section 6.4    Tax Returns.
(a)    Descartes shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared (i) any combined,
consolidated or unitary Tax Return that includes any member of the Descartes
Group, on the one hand, and any of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries, on the other
hand (a “Descartes Combined Tax Return”), and (ii) any Tax Return (other than
any Descartes Combined Tax Return) that is required to be filed by or with
respect to any of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries for any taxable period that
ends on or before the Closing Date (an “Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return”).
Descartes shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Ag Pre-Closing Separate
Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practices of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries (or of the Descartes Group with respect to the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries), except (i) as otherwise required by Law or (ii) as otherwise
requested by Fermat if, with respect to clause (ii), Descartes, in its sole
discretion, determines that such request is not reasonably likely to have an
adverse impact on any member of the Descartes Group. Descartes shall timely file
or cause to be timely filed any Descartes Combined Tax Return and any Ag
Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return that is required to be filed on or before the
Closing Date (taking into account any extensions). Descartes shall deliver, or
cause to be delivered, to Fermat for its review and comment a draft copy of all
Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns that are required to be filed after the
Closing Date at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof (taking
into account any extensions). Fermat shall provide comments, if any, to
Descartes on any such Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return within ten (10) days
after receipt of such draft Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return and Descartes
shall consider any such comments in good faith. Descartes shall revise such Ag
Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns to reflect any reasonable comments received
from Fermat with which Descartes agrees and shall deliver, if applicable, a
revised Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return to Fermat not later than ten (10)
days before the due date therefor (taking into account any extensions), and
Fermat shall timely file or cause to be timely filed such

-197-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tax Returns; provided that Fermat shall not be required to file or cause to be
filed any such Tax Return that reflects a material position for which the
confidence level is less than “more likely than not” (or an equivalent standard
under an applicable foreign Law). Descartes shall pay, or cause to be paid, to
Fermat an amount equal to the amount of any Taxes shown to be due on any Ag
Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return required to be filed after the Closing Date
(taking into account extensions) for which Descartes is responsible pursuant to
this Agreement within ten (10) days after Fermat makes, or causes to be made,
written demand therefor, but in all cases at least five (5) days prior to the
date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the applicable
Taxing Authority. Such payment shall be made in immediately available funds by
wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Fermat to Descartes. Except
to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the
meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state,
local, or foreign Law), Fermat shall not amend or revoke any Descartes Combined
Tax Return or any Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns (or any notification or
election relating thereto) without the prior written consent of Descartes (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). At Descartes’s
reasonable request, Fermat shall file, or cause to be filed, amended Ag
Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns; provided that Fermat shall have the same
rights to review and comment on such amended Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns
as described in this paragraph for the original Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax
Returns and shall not be required to file or cause to be filed any such amended
Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return that reflects a material position for which
the confidence level is less than “more likely than not” (or an equivalent
standard under an applicable foreign Law), and provided, further, that Descartes
shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Fermat an amount equal to the amount of any
Taxes shown to be due on any such amended Ag Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return for
which Descartes is responsible pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) days
after Fermat makes, or causes to be made, written demand therefor, but in all
cases at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are
required to be paid to the applicable Taxing Authority. Such payment shall be
made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated in
writing by Fermat to Descartes. Fermat shall promptly provide (or cause to be
provided) to Descartes any information reasonably requested by Descartes to
facilitate the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns described in this
Section 6.4(a) and Fermat shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare
(or cause to be prepared) such information in a manner and on a timeline
requested by Descartes.
(b)    Fermat shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared (i) any combined,
consolidated or unitary Tax Return that includes any member of the Fermat Group,
on the one hand, and any of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries, on the other hand
(a “Fermat Combined Tax Return”), and (ii) any Tax Return (other than any Fermat
Combined Tax Return) that is required to be filed by or with respect to any of
the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries for any taxable period that ends on or before
the Closing Date (a “H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return”). Fermat shall
prepare, or cause to be prepared, all H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns in a
manner consistent with

-198-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

past practices of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries (or of the Fermat Group with
respect to the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries), except (i) as otherwise required
by Law or (ii) as otherwise requested by Descartes if, with respect to clause
(ii), Fermat, in its sole discretion, determines that such request is not
reasonably likely to have an adverse impact on any member of the Fermat Group.
Fermat shall timely file or cause to be timely filed any Fermat Combined Tax
Return and any H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return that is required to be filed
on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions). Fermat shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Descartes for its review and comment a
draft copy of all H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns that are required to be
filed after the Closing Date at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date
thereof (taking into account any extensions). Descartes shall provide comments,
if any, to Fermat on any such H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return within ten
(10) days after receipt of such draft H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return and
Fermat shall consider any such comments in good faith. Fermat shall revise such
H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns to reflect any reasonable comments received
from Descartes with which Fermat agrees and shall deliver, if applicable, a
revised H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return to Descartes not later than ten (10)
days before the due date therefor (taking into account any extensions), and
Descartes shall timely file or cause to be timely filed such Tax Returns;
provided that Descartes shall not be required to file or cause to be filed any
such Tax Return that reflects a material position for which the confidence level
is less than “more likely than not” (or an equivalent standard under an
applicable foreign Law). Fermat shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Descartes an
amount equal to the amount of any Taxes shown to be due on any H&N Pre-Closing
Separate Tax Return required to be filed after the Closing Date (taking into
account extensions) for which Fermat is responsible pursuant to this Agreement
within ten (10) days after Descartes makes, or causes to be made, written demand
therefor, but in all cases at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the
relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the applicable Taxing Authority. Such
payment shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an
account designated in writing by Descartes to Fermat. Except to the extent
otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section
1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law),
Descartes shall not amend or revoke any Fermat Combined Tax Return or any H&N
Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns (or any notification or election relating
thereto) without the prior written consent of Fermat (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). At Fermat’s reasonable request,
Descartes shall file, or cause to be filed, amended H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax
Returns; provided that Descartes shall have the same rights to review and
comment on such amended H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns as described in
this paragraph for the original H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns and shall
not be required to file or cause to be filed any such amended H&N Pre-Closing
Separate Tax Return that reflects a material position for which the confidence
level is less than “more likely than not” (or an equivalent standard under an
applicable foreign Law), and provided, further, that Fermat shall pay, or cause
to be paid, to Descartes an amount equal to the amount of any Taxes shown to be
due on any such amended H&N Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return for which Fermat is
responsible pursuant to this

Agreement within ten (10) days after Descartes makes, or causes to be made,
written demand therefor, but in all cases at least five (5) days prior to the
date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the applicable
Taxing Authority. Such payment shall be made in immediately available funds by
wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Descartes to Fermat.
Descartes shall promptly provide (or cause to be provided) to Fermat any
information reasonably requested by Fermat to facilitate the preparation and
filing of any Tax Returns described in this Section 6.4(b) and Descartes shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare (or cause to be prepared) such
information in a manner and on a timeline requested by Fermat.
(c)    Except for any Tax Return required to be prepared by Descartes pursuant
to Section 6.4(a), Fermat shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared
and timely filed all Tax Returns with respect to the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries. In the case of any such Tax Return for a Straddle Period (an “Ag
Straddle Period Separate Tax Return”), Fermat shall prepare or cause to be
prepared such Tax Return in a manner consistent with past practices of the
Transferred Ag Subsidiaries (or of Descartes with respect to the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries), except to the extent that (i) Fermat notifies Descartes in
writing that it desires to prepare such Tax Return in a different manner and
Descartes, in its sole discretion, determines that such request is not
reasonably likely to have an adverse impact on any member of the Descartes Group
and so notifies Fermat in writing, or (ii) such Tax Return would reflect a
material position for which the confidence level is less than “more likely than
not” (or an equivalent standard under an applicable foreign Law). Fermat shall
deliver to Descartes for its review and comment a draft copy of such Ag Straddle
Period Separate Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date
therefor (taking into account any extensions). Descartes shall provide comments,
if any, to Fermat on any such Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax Return within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of such draft Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax
Return. In the event Fermat disagrees with any comments received from Descartes,
Fermat shall promptly notify Descartes of such disagreement and Descartes and
Fermat shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement prior to
the due date for such Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax Return (taking into
account extensions). If Descartes and Fermat are unable to reach resolution,
they shall promptly cause the Ag Independent Accounting Firm to resolve any
remaining disputes. Any determination of the Ag Independent Accounting Firm
shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall be final and
binding on all parties. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to
be performed by the Ag Independent Accounting Firm in connection with this
Section 6.4(c) shall be borne equally by Descartes and Fermat. Fermat shall
revise each Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax Return to reflect any comments
received from Descartes with which Fermat agrees, any agreement reached between
Descartes and Fermat and the resolution of the Ag Independent Accounting Firm,
shall deliver such revised Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax Return to Descartes
prior to the due date therefor (taking into account extensions) and shall timely
file or cause to be filed such Tax Return; provided that in the event any
disagreement with respect to an Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax Return is not
resolved by the Ag Independent Accounting Firm prior to the due

file or cause to be filed such Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax Return as
originally prepared by Fermat and as revised to reflect any comments received
from Descartes with which Fermat agrees and any agreement reached between
Descartes and Fermat, and shall subsequently amend or cause to be amended such
Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax Return to reflect the resolution of the Ag
Independent Accounting Firm. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to
a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any
similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law) or as required pursuant to
the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, Fermat shall not amend or
revoke any such Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax Returns (or any notification or
election relating thereto) without the prior written consent of Descartes (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). At
Descartes’s reasonable request, Fermat shall file, or cause to be filed, amended
Ag Straddle Period Separate Tax Returns; provided that any such amended Ag
Straddle Period Separate Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent
with this Section 6.4(c). Descartes shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Fermat an
amount equal to the amount of any Taxes shown to be due on an Ag Straddle Period
Separate Tax Return (or an amended version) for which Descartes is responsible
pursuant to this Agreement, within ten (10) days after Fermat makes, or causes
to be made, written demand therefor, but in all cases at least five (5) days
prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the
applicable Taxing Authority.
(d)    Except for any Tax Return required to be prepared by Fermat pursuant to
Section 6.4(b), Descartes shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared
and timely filed all Tax Returns with respect to the Transferred H&N
Subsidiaries. In the case of any such Tax Return for a Straddle Period (a “H&N
Straddle Period Separate Tax Return”), Descartes shall prepare or cause to be
prepared a H&N Straddle Period Separate Tax Return in a manner consistent with
past practices of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries (or of Fermat with respect to
the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries), except to the extent that (i) Descartes
notifies Fermat in writing that it desires to prepare such Tax Return in a
different manner and Fermat, in its sole discretion, determines that such

Descartes shall deliver to Fermat for its review and comment a draft copy of
such H&N Straddle Period Separate Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days prior to

from Fermat, Descartes shall promptly notify Fermat of such disagreement and
Fermat and Descartes shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such
disagreement prior to the due date for such H&N Straddle Period Separate Tax
Return (taking into account extensions). If Fermat and Descartes are unable to
reach resolution, they shall promptly cause the H&N Independent

-201-

Accounting Firm to resolve any remaining disputes. Any determination of the H&N
Independent Accounting Firm shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement
and shall be final and binding on all parties. All fees and expenses relating to
the work, if any, to be performed by the H&N Independent Accounting Firm in
connection with this Section 6.4(d) shall be borne equally by Fermat and
Descartes. Descartes shall revise each H&N Straddle Period Separate Tax Return
to reflect any comments received from Fermat with which Descartes agrees, any
agreement reached between Fermat and Descartes and the resolution of the H&N
Independent Accounting Firm, shall deliver such revised H&N Straddle Period
Separate Tax Return to Fermat prior to the due date therefor (taking into
account extensions) and shall timely file or cause to be filed such Tax Return;
provided that in the event any disagreement with respect to a H&N Straddle
Period Separate Tax Return is not resolved by the H&N Independent Accounting
Firm prior to the due date for such Tax Return (taking into account extensions),
Descartes shall timely file or cause to be filed such H&N Straddle Period
Separate Tax Return as originally prepared by Descartes and as revised to
reflect any comments received from Fermat with which Descartes agrees and any
agreement reached between Fermat and Descartes, and shall subsequently amend or
cause to be amended such H&N Straddle Period Separate Tax Return to reflect the
resolution of the H&N Independent Accounting Firm. Except to the extent
otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section
1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law)
or as required pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence,
Descartes shall not amend or revoke any such H&N Straddle Period Separate Tax

or cause to be filed, amended H&N Straddle Period Separate Tax Returns; provided
that any such amended H&N Straddle Period Separate Tax Returns shall be prepared
in a manner consistent with this Section 6.4(d). Fermat shall pay, or cause to
be paid, to Descartes an amount equal to the amount of any Taxes shown to be due
on a H&N Straddle Period Separate Tax Return (or an amended version) for which
Fermat is responsible pursuant to this Agreement, within ten (10) days after
Descartes makes, or causes to be made, written demand therefor, but in all cases
at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are
required to be paid to the applicable Taxing Authority.

Section 6.5    Tax Contests.
(a)    If any Taxing Authority asserts a Tax Claim, then the party to this
Agreement first receiving notice of such Tax Claim promptly shall provide
written notice thereof to the other party or parties to this Agreement; provided
that the failure of such party to give such prompt notice shall not relieve the
other party of any of its obligations under this Article VI, except to the
extent that the other party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such
notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall
include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the
Taxing Authority.

(b)    In the case of a Tax Proceeding of or with respect to any of the
Transferred Ag Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the
Closing Date (other than a Tax Proceeding described in Section 6.5(d)),
Descartes shall have the exclusive right to control such Tax Proceeding;
provided that Descartes shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax
Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Fermat, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if such settlement,
compromise, or abandonment could have a material adverse impact on Fermat or any
of its Affiliates. If Descartes elects not to control the conduct and resolution
of any Tax Proceeding that Descartes has the right to control pursuant to this
Section 6.5(b), Descartes shall notify Fermat in writing, and Fermat shall have
the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Proceeding, or
portion thereof, that is not controlled by Descartes; provided that, (x) the
costs and expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, incurred by
Fermat in controlling such Tax Proceeding, or such portion thereof, shall be
borne by Descartes and (y) Fermat shall not settle, compromise or abandon any
such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Descartes, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if such
settlement, compromise, or abandonment could have a material adverse impact on
Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c)    In the case of a Tax Proceeding of or with respect to any of the
Transferred Ag Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period (other than a Tax Proceeding
described in Section 6.5(d)), the Controlling Party shall have the right and
obligation to conduct, at its own expense, such Tax Proceeding; provided that
(i) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with a timely
and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) the
Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party before taking any
significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iii) the Controlling
Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party and offer the Non-Controlling
Party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared
or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iv) the Controlling Party
shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if it were the
only party in interest in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (v) the
Non-Controlling Party shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding
and attend any meetings or conferences with the relevant Taxing Authority, and
(vi) the Controlling Party shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax
Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided, further, that the Controlling Party shall not have any obligations
(and the Non-Controlling Party shall not have any rights) under clause (i),
(ii), (iii) or (v) above with respect to any portion of such Tax Proceeding (and
any actions, written materials, meetings or conferences relating exclusively
thereto) that could not reasonably be expected to affect the liability of, or
otherwise have an adverse effect on, the Non-Controlling Party or any of its
Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Controlling Party” shall mean
Descartes if Descartes and its Subsidiaries are reasonably expected to bear the
greater Tax liability in connection with such Tax Proceeding, or Fermat if
Fermat and its Affiliates are reasonably expected

-203-

(e)    In the case of a Tax Proceeding of or with respect to any of the

Closing Date (other than a Tax Proceeding described in Section 6.5(g)), Fermat
shall have the exclusive right to control such Tax Proceeding; provided, that
Fermat shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without
obtaining the prior written consent of Descartes, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if such settlement, compromise,
or abandonment could have a material adverse impact on Descartes or any of its
Subsidiaries. If Fermat elects not to control the conduct and resolution of any
Tax Proceeding that Fermat has the right to control pursuant to this Section
6.5(e), Fermat shall notify Descartes in writing, and Descartes shall have the
right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Proceeding, or portion
thereof, that is not controlled by Fermat; provided that (x) the costs and
expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, incurred by Descartes
in controlling such Tax Proceeding, or such portion thereof, shall be borne by
Fermat and (y) Descartes shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax
Proceeding without the prior written consent of Fermat, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if such settlement,
compromise, or abandonment could have a material adverse impact on Fermat or any
of its Affiliates.
(f)    In the case of a Tax Proceeding of or with respect to any of the
Transferred H&N Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period (other than a Tax
Proceeding described in Section 6.5(g)), the Controlling Party shall have the
right and obligation to conduct, at its own expense, such Tax Proceeding;
provided that (i) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party
with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax
Proceeding, (ii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling

-206-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subsidiaries) not to, enter into any extraordinary transaction with respect to
such Transferred Ag Subsidiaries or otherwise take any action or enter into any
transaction that would be considered under the Code to constitute the payment of
an actual or deemed dividend by such Transferred Ag Subsidiary, including
pursuant to Section 304 of the Code, or that would otherwise result in a
diminution of foreign tax credits that, absent such transaction, may be claimed
by Descartes or any of its Affiliates.
(b)    With respect to any of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries that is
characterized as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes

or enter into any transaction that would be considered under the Code to

Subsidiary, including pursuant to Section 304 of the Code, or that would
otherwise result in a diminution of foreign tax credits that, absent such
transaction, may be claimed by Fermat or any of its Affiliates.

Section 6.10    Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, (a) Descartes shall bear and be responsible for any Transfer Taxes
imposed upon the acquisition of the Acquired Ag Assets, the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries, the Assumed Ag Liabilities, and the Ag Business by the Fermat
Group, and (b) Fermat shall bear and be responsible for any Transfer Taxes
imposed upon the acquisition of the Acquired H&N Assets, the Assumed H&N

responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such

provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other party. Descartes and Fermat
shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate to timely
prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer
Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or
imposition of any Transfer Taxes.

Section 6.11    Value Added Taxes. Descartes and Fermat shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to mitigate any VAT which might otherwise be chargeable in
connection with the Ag Acquisition or the H&N Acquisition, including by taking
commercially reasonable steps to ensure that the Acquisitions are treated as
neither a supply of goods nor services pursuant to Article 19 of Council
Directive 2006/112/EC or any other local VAT legislation that may be applicable
to countries in scope. All sums payable by one party to another pursuant to this
Agreement shall be exclusive of VAT. If one party (the “Supplier”) makes a
taxable supply to another party (the “Recipient”) for VAT purposes pursuant to
this Agreement, the Recipient shall pay to the Supplier (in addition to

-207-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any consideration for that supply) a sum equal to the amount of VAT which is or
becomes chargeable on that supply for which the Supplier has the liability to
account to the relevant Taxing Authority (against delivery by the Supplier of an
appropriate VAT invoice). If the Recipient has paid any amount in respect of VAT
and it subsequently transpires that such amount was in excess of the amount of
VAT properly chargeable on the relevant supply (including as a result of any
adjustment to the relevant purchase price for Tax purposes), the Supplier shall
repay to the Recipient an amount equal to the difference between such amount in
respect of VAT and the amount of VAT properly chargeable in respect of the
relevant supply within five (5) Business Days.

Section 6.12    Certain Tax Benefits, Refunds, Credits and Carrybacks.
(a)    The amount of any Loss, Tax or expense for which indemnification is
provided under this Article VI or Article IX shall be net of any Tax Benefit
actually realized by the relevant Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in
the taxable year in which such Loss, Tax or expense is paid or accrued, or in
the three (3) succeeding tax years. In the event that any such Tax Benefit is
realized after the relevant indemnification payment is made (such that such
indemnification payment was not reduced by the amount of such Tax Benefit), the
Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax
Benefit no later than fifteen (15) days after such Tax Benefit is actually
realized. For the avoidance of doubt, the realization of any such Tax Benefit by
the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates shall in no way limit, diminish
or waive any remedy of any Indemnified Party under this Agreement, subject to
the Indemnifying Party’s right to receive the amount of such Tax Benefit
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence if, when, and to the extent such
Tax Benefit is actually realized in accordance with this Section 6.12(a). “Tax
Benefit” means, for any Tax year, the amount by which the cash Tax Liability of
the relevant Person for such Tax year is actually reduced as a result of the
relevant Loss, Tax, expense or amount, calculated by comparing (i) the Taxes
payable by such Person in respect of such Tax year without giving effect to any
deductions for the payment or accrual of the Loss, Tax or expense giving rise to
the relevant indemnity payment and (ii) the Taxes payable by such Person in
respect of such Tax year giving effect to such deduction allowed as a result of
such payment or accrual of such Loss, Tax, or expense, and net of any Taxes and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in
connection with obtaining, receiving or accruing such reduction in Tax Liability
or the related indemnification payment.
(b)    Descartes shall be entitled to any refunds of or credits for any Taxes
for which Descartes is responsible under Section 6.1. Fermat shall be entitled
to any refunds of or credits for any Taxes of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries
other than refunds or credits to which Descartes is entitled pursuant to the
foregoing sentence. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Transferred Ag
Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between
Descartes and Fermat in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 6.3
and the first sentence of this Section 6.12(b). Fermat shall be entitled to any
refunds of or credits for any Taxes for which Fermat is responsible

-208-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

under Section 6.2. Descartes shall be entitled to any refunds of or credits for
any Taxes of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries other than refunds or credits to
which Fermat is entitled pursuant to the foregoing sentence. Any refunds or
credits of Taxes of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period
shall be equitably apportioned between Descartes and Fermat in accordance with
the principles set forth in Section 6.3 and the fourth sentence of this Section
6.12(b).
(c)    Unless Descartes otherwise consents in writing or as required by Law,
neither Fermat nor any Transferred Ag Subsidiary shall (i) fail to waive any
available elections to carryback to any Descartes Combined Tax Return any net
operating loss, net capital loss, excess tax credit, or other similar Tax item
of any of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries (an “Ag Carryback”) arising in a
Post-Closing Period or (ii) make any affirmative election to claim any such Ag
Carryback with respect to any Descartes Combined Tax Return. In the event that
Fermat or any of the Transferred Ag Subsidiaries are prohibited by applicable
Law from waiving or otherwise forgoing an Ag Carryback or Descartes consents to
an Ag Carryback, Descartes shall cooperate with Fermat and the relevant
Transferred Ag Subsidiaries, at Fermat’s expense, in seeking from the
appropriate Taxing Authority such refund, reimbursement, offset, credit, or
other reduction in liability for Taxes as reasonably would result from such Ag
Carryback, to the extent that such refund, reimbursement, offset, credit, or
other reduction is directly attributable to such Ag Carryback, and the amount of
such refund, reimbursement, offset, credit, or other reduction in liability for
Taxes shall be paid to Fermat pursuant to Section 6.12(e). Fermat shall
indemnify and hold Descartes and its Subsidiaries harmless from and against any
and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such Ag
Carryback, including, without limitation, the loss or postponement of any
benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by Descartes or any of its
Subsidiaries if (x) such Tax Attributes expire unused, but would have been
utilized but for such Ag Carryback or (y) the use of such Tax Attributes is
postponed to a later tax period than the tax period in which such Tax Attributes
would have been used but for such Ag Carryback. “Tax Attribute” means a net
operating loss, net capital loss, unused investment credit, unused foreign tax
credit, excess charitable contribution, general business credit, research and
development credit, earnings and profits, basis or any other item of loss,
deduction, or credit that could reduce a Tax or create a refund, reimbursement,
offset, credit, or other reduction in liability for Taxes.
(d)    Unless Fermat otherwise consents in writing or as required by Law,
neither Descartes nor any Transferred H&N Subsidiary shall (i) fail to waive any
available elections to carryback to any Fermat Combined Tax Return any net
operating loss, net capital loss, excess tax credit, or other similar Tax item
of any of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries (an “H&N Carryback”) arising in a
Post-Closing Period or (ii) make any affirmative election to claim any such H&N
Carryback with respect to any Fermat Combined Tax Return. In the event that
Descartes or any of the Transferred H&N Subsidiaries are prohibited by
applicable Law from waiving or otherwise forgoing a H&N Carryback or Fermat
consents to a H&N Carryback, Fermat shall cooperate with Descartes and the
relevant Transferred H&N Subsidiaries, at Descartes’s expense, in seeking from

-209-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the appropriate Taxing Authority such refund, reimbursement, offset, credit, or
other reduction in liability for Taxes as reasonably would result from such H&N
Carryback, to the extent that such refund, reimbursement, offset, credit, or
other reduction is directly attributable to such H&N Carryback, and the amount
of such refund, reimbursement, offset, credit, or other reduction in liability
for Taxes shall be paid to Descartes pursuant to Section 6.12(e). Descartes
shall indemnify and hold Fermat and its Subsidiaries harmless from and against
any and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such H&N
Carryback, including, without limitation, the loss or postponement of any
benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by Fermat or any of its
Subsidiaries if (x) such Tax Attributes expire unused, but would have been
utilized but for such H&N Carryback or (y) the use of such Tax Attributes is
postponed to a later tax period than the tax period in which such Tax Attributes
would have been used but for such H&N Carryback.
(e)    Each party shall pay, or cause its Affiliates to pay, to the party
entitled to a refund or credit of Taxes under this Section 6.12, the amount of
such refund or credit (including any interest paid thereon and net of any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) to the party receiving
such refund or credit in respect of the receipt or accrual of such refund or
credit) in readily available funds within fifteen (15) days of the actual
receipt of the refund or credit or the application of such refund or credit
against amounts otherwise payable.

Section 6.13    Timing of Payments. Any indemnity payment required to be made
pursuant to this Article VI shall be made within ten (10) days after the
Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor upon the Indemnifying Party, but
in all cases at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the relevant
Taxes or other amounts are required to be paid to the applicable Taxing
Authority. Such payments shall be made in immediately available funds by wire
transfer to an account designated in writing by the Indemnified Party to the
Indemnifying Party.

Section 6.14    Tax Matters Coordination. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, indemnification with respect to Taxes and the
procedures relating thereto shall be governed exclusively by this Article VI and
the provisions of Article IX (other than Sections 9.1(a), 9.1(b), 9.1(c), 9.8
and 9.9) shall not apply.

Section 9.4    Procedures.
(a)    A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the
“Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such
indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or
threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined has given
or would reasonably be expected to give rise to such right of indemnification
(including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party
against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”),
describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the
subject matter of such claim or demand (to the extent then known); provided that
the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from
any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent the
Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure, it being agreed that
notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any
applicable survival period specified in Section 9.1 for such representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement.
(b)    Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.4, the Indemnifying Party
shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its
choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and to
defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim,
or otherwise assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, which relates to any
Losses alleged to be indemnifiable by it hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party
elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third
Party Claim, or otherwise assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, which
relates to any Losses alleged to be indemnifiable by it hereunder, it shall,
within twenty (20) days of the Indemnified Party’s written notice of the
assertion of such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.4(a), notify the
Indemnified Party of its intent to do so; provided that the Indemnifying Party
must conduct its defense of the Third Party Claim reasonably diligently
thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard. If the Indemnifying
Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any
Third Party Claim, or otherwise assume the defense of any Third Party Claim,
which relates to any Losses alleged to be indemnifiable by it hereunder or fails
to notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided (or fails to
conduct its defense of the Third Party Claim reasonably diligently), the
Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with
such Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing (at the Indemnifying
Party’s expense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to
pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel)) and the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in any such defense with
separate counsel. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any
Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in
the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided that such Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying
Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the
Indemnified Party a conflict or potential

-218-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that
would make such separate representation advisable; provided, further, that the
Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel
(plus any appropriate local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties in connection
with any Third Party Claim. Each party hereto agrees to provide reasonable
access to each other party to such documents and information as may reasonably
be requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any
such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.4 to the
contrary, no Indemnified Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a
default or consent to entry of any Judgment with respect to any Third Party
Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third
Party Claim, it shall not to consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the
entry of Judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim without the consent of any
Indemnified Party unless (A) the sole relief provided is monetary damages,
(B) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of
the rights of any Person, and (C) the Indemnified Party is granted an
unconditional release from all Liability with respect to such claim.

Section 9.5    Exclusive Remedy and Release. Fermat and Descartes acknowledge
and agree that, except with respect to Fraud, following the Closing, (a) the
payment by Descartes of the Late Statements Fee and the provisions of Section
10.6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Fermat Indemnified Parties
for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract,
warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether
predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that the
Fermat Indemnified Parties may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject
to, as a result of or in connection with the failure of Descartes to timely
deliver the Ag Business Audited Financial Statements or the Ag Business
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements and (b) the indemnification provisions of
Article VI, and Article IX and Section 10.6 shall be the sole and exclusive
remedies of the Descartes Indemnified Parties and the Fermat Indemnified
Parties, respectively, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for
breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or
otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or
otherwise) that each party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject
to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the Acquisitions or the
other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including any breach of any
representation or warranty in this Agreement by any party, or any failure by any
party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms,
was to have been performed, or complied with, under this Agreement and the other
Acquisition Documents (other than any indemnification obligations set forth in
such other Acquisition Document). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission
they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

Section 9.6    Environmental, Health and Safety Procedures.
(a)    Except as provided below, the parties shall follow the general procedures
for indemnification set forth in Section 9.4 with respect to any claim for
indemnification under this Article IX relating to environmental matters, worker
health and safety matters, compliance with Environmental Laws and worker health
and safety Laws, and Contamination (“Environmental, Health and Safety Matters”).
(b)    In the event that any investigation, remediation or other response action
addressing Environmental, Health and Safety Matters (a “Response Action”) is
required to be conducted in connection with a claim for indemnification under
this Article IX with respect to any real property or worker health and safety
matter, the terms of this Section 9.6 shall govern the Response Action. For
matters related to Contamination, the Indemnifying Party shall, if it
acknowledges in writing that it is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant
to this Article IX with respect to such claim for indemnification, be entitled
(but shall not be required) to perform such Response Action. The party
performing the Response Action shall be referred to as the “Performing Party.”
For all other Environmental, Health and Safety Matters, the party that is the
owner/operator of the real property shall be the Performing Party.
(c)    If the Performing Party is neither the owner nor operator of the real
property, the following conditions shall apply to the performance of any
Response Action at or affecting any real property or with respect to worker
health and safety:
(i)    The Performing Party shall take reasonable precautions to minimize any
interference with or disruption of the owner’s/operator’s operations and
business, including obtaining the owner’s prior written approval of any Response
Action that could reasonably be expected to substantially interfere with or
disrupt the operation of the affected real property, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and
(ii)    The owner/operator shall provide reasonable access to, and reasonably
cooperate with, the Performing Party in its performance of such Response Action,
it being understood that such cooperation shall in no event require the
owner/operator to incur any out-of-pocket expenses. Such access may be
memorialized by the parties hereto in a written access agreement, the terms of
which shall not be inconsistent with this Agreement.
(d)    The following conditions shall apply to the performance of any Response
Action at or affecting any real property or with respect to worker health and
safety regardless of which party is the Performing Party:
(i)    The Performing Party shall use reasonable efforts to avoid and minimize
any harm to any persons or damage to real or personal property, and shall be
responsible

-220-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for any harm or damages resulting from the performance of any such Response
Action, except to the extent such harm or damage results from the negligence of
the other party or any representative thereof; and
(ii)    All required Response Actions shall be diligently and expeditiously
performed in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and worker health
and safety Laws.
(e)    The Performing Party shall (i) notify the other party prior to commencing
or performing any Response Actions, (ii) keep the other party reasonably
informed of the progress of any Response Actions and provide copies of any
final, proposed response, remediation, investigation or sampling plans and the
results of sampling and analysis (including any final status reports of work in
progress or other final reports), in each case required to be submitted to any
Governmental Entity or third party, (iii) provide the other party, at its sole
cost and expense, with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any
material proposed response in final form, remediation, investigation or sampling
plans prior to submission to a Governmental Entity, (iv) provided that the
Governmental Entity does not object, provide the other party with the
opportunity to attend, at its sole cost and expense, any planned meeting with
any Governmental Entity regarding a Response Action, and (v) provide the other
party an opportunity to observe, at its sole cost and expense, any Response
Action (other than Response Actions consisting of routine sampling, monitoring,
maintenance or similar activities performed in the ordinary course) and to
obtain, at its sole cost and expense, splits of any samples obtained in the
course of conducting any Response Action.
(f)    Subject to Section 9.6(d)(i), all Response Actions at any real property
shall meet the least stringent applicable standards, regulations, or
requirements of applicable Law, including applicable Environmental Law or, where
an applicable Governmental Entity with or asserting jurisdiction is supervising
such Response Action, required by such Governmental Entity (or, where there is
no applicable Law and no Governmental Entity is supervising the Response Action,
by a voluntary program applicable to such Response Actions), and be consistent
with the use of the property as of the Closing Date and in addition with respect
to any Ag Leased Real Property or H&N Leased Real Property any applicable terms
of the relevant lease as such terms are in effect as of the Closing Date (the
“Appropriate Remediation Standards”). In furtherance of and to the extent
consistent with the foregoing, the parties agree to utilize institutional
controls and engineering controls (including, without limitation, capping,
signs, fences and deed restrictions on the use of real property, soils or
groundwater) to satisfy the Appropriate Remediation Standard and to cooperate in
obtaining all necessary approvals of the use of such controls; provided, that
such controls do not prevent or materially interfere with the continued
operation or reasonable future expansion of the operations on such real
property. Once a notice of no further action or equivalent determination
(including, where an action is not conducted under the auspices of a
Governmental Entity, a determination issued by a qualified environmental
consultant) with respect to an

-221-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Environmental, Health and Safety Matter has been issued, the Indemnifying Party
shall have no further obligations with respect to such Environmental, Health and
Safety Matter (other than with respect to any Losses arising out of any Third
Party Claims in connection with such matter) if such matter is located at a
property or asset that has been transferred to the Indemnified Party pursuant to
this Agreement. In such instance, the Indemnified Party shall be responsible for
any ongoing operation and maintenance costs, if any, required with respect to
the Response Action, including inspections, repair of any engineering controls,
ongoing groundwater monitoring, and related reporting and provision of financial
assurance, that is required after the issuance of the no further action notice
or equivalent determination, provided, however, that the costs of pumping and
treating impacted groundwater (including any material equipment or system
repairs, replacements or required upgrades) and financial assurance shall be
borne by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that (i) any Governmental Entity, or (ii) the qualified environmental consultant
that issued the no further action notice or equivalent determination, reopens or
otherwise modifies any determination related to the no further action notice or
equivalent determination such that additional investigation or remediation is
required, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for any
Losses associated with the reopening or modification of such determination.
(g)    With respect to Environmental, Health and Safety Matters that are not
related to Contamination and for which the Performing Party is the
owner/operator of the real property, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any expenditures (i) that are not commercially reasonable taking into
account the obligation to come into compliance with Environmental Laws or worker
health and safety Laws, (ii) that improve the real property in a manner that
goes beyond what is legally required to bring the real property into compliance
with applicable Environmental Laws or worker health and safety Laws for the
purpose of providing an economic benefit to the Indemnified Party, unless the
Indemnified Party obtains the express written consent of the Indemnifying Party
at the Indemnifying Party’s sole discretion, or (iii) relating to the ongoing
business operations of the Ag Business or the H&N Business, as the case may be,
after completion of the Response Action.
(h)    The Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible or liable to the
Indemnified Party for any Losses associated with any Response Action at any real
property or with respect to a worker health and safety matter to the extent:
(i)    incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to achieve standards in
excess of the Appropriate Remediation Standards;
(ii)    incurred for Response Actions not required under or to achieve
compliance with applicable Laws, including Environmental Laws and worker health
and safety Laws, nor required by a Governmental Entity with or asserting
jurisdiction, unless undertaken as

-222-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a result of a reasonable belief that there exists a condition that, if unabated,
poses a risk of reasonable possibility of substantial harm to human health and
safety, or to property of any unrelated Person;
(iii)    resulting or arising as a result of a voluntary environmental
investigation of any environmental media performed by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Party, other than (A) any voluntary investigation undertaken by the
Indemnified Party in connection with the expansion or shutdown of a facility
that will require subsurface work or expose workers to subsurface conditions,
provided that (1) such expansion is for use in the Ag Business or the H&N
Business, as the case may be, (2) written notice of such investigation is
provided to the Indemnifying Party prior to such investigation to allow the
Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to notify the owner or operator of
any potential concerns related to Hazardous Substances associated with such
investigation or planned work, and, (3) if the results of such investigation
confirm that the proposed expansion or shutdown would reasonably be expected to
disturb Hazardous Substances, written notice of the results of such
investigation are provided to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party
is provided with a reasonable opportunity to consult in good faith with the
Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after such written notice is provided
regarding the scope and implementation of the planned expansion or shutdown, (B)
any voluntary investigation undertaken to prepare a defense of an actual claim
or to mitigate the reasonable risk of a future claim, damage or injury to any
Person, provided that the Indemnified Party obtains the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party with respect to such investigation, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (C) any voluntary
investigation undertaken with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);
provided, that (in each of cases (A), (B) and (C)) if as a result of a voluntary
investigation, Contamination is identified that is subject to indemnification
hereunder, the Indemnifying Party may elect to be the Performing Party in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(iv)    resulting or arising as a result of a change, after the Closing, in Laws
(including Environmental Laws), including any change in any official, final and
published guidance of general application issued by a Governmental Entity
interpreting such Laws, provided that (A) this limitation shall apply only to
Retained Ag Liabilities and Retained H&N Liabilities, respectively and (B) in
any event, any change in Laws (including Environmental Laws) in effect during
the performance of any Response Action with respect to Contamination subject to
indemnity hereunder shall apply to such Response Action;
(v)    resulting from costs incurred in connection with the matter addressed by
such Response Action after the issuance of a no further action notice or
equivalent determination as described in Section 9.6(f) (other than with respect
to any Losses arising out of any Third Party Claim in connection such matter),
provided that such no further action notice or equivalent

-223-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

determination has not been reopened or modified such that additional
investigation or remediation is required;
(vi)    arising as a result of Liabilities incurred with respect to a matter to
the extent resulting from actions taken by a Governmental Entity in response to
the Indemnified Party’s voluntary disclosure relating to such matter, unless
(A) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that such disclosure was required
under applicable Environmental Laws or required by a Governmental Entity, (B)
such disclosure is made in good faith by the Indemnified Party in connection
with a valid third party claim or (C) such disclosure is made with the consent
of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), including for a disclosure made to mitigate a potential
environmental Liability; or
(vii)    to the extent resulting from the exacerbation after the Closing of any
Release or threat of Release of or exposure to Hazardous Substances which first
occurred prior to the Closing; provided, that this clause (vii) shall in no way
relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability for Losses associated with a
Response Action at any real property or with respect to a worker health and
safety matter if the exacerbation of a Release that occurred on or prior to the
Closing arises as a result of any action or inaction on the part of the
Indemnified Party that does not rise to the level of negligence.
(viii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Fermat
shall not be liable for Losses at any Delayed Ag Asset that would otherwise be
an Assumed Ag Liability if such Losses result from the recklessness or gross
negligence of a Descartes employee (except arising out of an action taken or
forbearance to act, in each case, at the direction of Fermat), and Descartes
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Fermat with respect to such Losses,
and (ii) Descartes shall not be liable for Losses at any Delayed H&N Asset that
would otherwise be an Assumed H&N Liability if such Losses result from the
recklessness or gross negligence of a Fermat employee (except arising out of an
action taken or forbearance to act, in each case, at the direction of
Descartes), and Fermat shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Descartes with
respect to such Losses.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, (i) no party
shall be entitled to reimbursement with respect to, and each party shall bear
its own, attorney’s fees and expenses in connection with any dispute between the
parties regarding any party’s alleged obligation to provide indemnification
regarding environmental Liabilities that are Retained Ag Liabilities or Retained
H&N Liabilities and (ii) to the extent an Indemnified Party (“Party A”) loses
its right to indemnification with respect to Losses that would otherwise have
been a Retained H&N Liability or Retained Ag Liability from an Indemnifying
Party (“Party B”) due to its failure to comply with the procedures set forth in
this Section 9.6, then, to the extent Party B becomes directly liable to

-224-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any third party for such Losses, Party A shall indemnify Party B for such Losses
in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of this Section 9.6.
(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if
any party hereto discovers a Liability related to an Environmental, Health and
Safety Matter that is either (i) both an Assumed Ag Liability and a Retained Ag
Liability or (ii) both an Assumed H&N Liability and a Retained H&N Liability,
such Liability will be allocated between Descartes and Fermat based on their
respective responsibility for such matter in accordance with the following
provisions:
(i)    With respect to any Environmental, Health and Safety Matter that is not
related to Contamination, each party’s share of the fines and penalties (but not
costs associated with the corrective action, which shall be a Retained Ag
Liability or Retained H&N Liability, as the case may be) with respect to such
matter shall be based on the relative length of time each party owned or
operated the facility over the period of the violation or non-compliance at
issue.
(ii)    With respect to any Environmental, Health and Safety Matter that is
related to Contamination, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that each
party’s share of Liability shall be based on the respective years that each
party owned or operated the facility in question, adjusted based on available
information, including (x) with respect to the date on which the Contamination
at issue commenced, the date that the operation that is the source of the
Contamination commenced at a site, or the date that a site began to use the
Hazardous Substance that has been Released into the environment, or such other
relevant information that is available to identify the period of time that the
Contamination has been in existence, and (y) the date the Contamination was
discovered and all Releases contributing to the Contamination halted. The burden
of rebutting the presumption with respect to when Contamination commenced shall
be on the party responsible for the Retained Ag Liability or Retained H&N
Liability, as applicable, and the burden of rebutting the presumption with
respect to when Contamination was discovered and Releases contributing to such
Contamination halted shall be on the party responsible for the Assumed Ag
Liability or Assumed H&N Liability, as applicable.
For purposes of clarification, any Delayed Ag Asset shall be deemed to be owned
by Fermat, and any Delayed H&N Asset shall be deemed to be owned by Descartes,
in each case as of the Closing for all purposes of allocating Liabilities among
the parties under this Agreement and the Acquisition Documents (including, for
purposes of clarity, Article II and this Article X). With respect to an
Environmental, Health and Safety Matter related to Contamination, the party with
the larger percentage of the allocation may elect to become the Performing Party
and both parties shall comply with the duties and obligations set forth in this
Section 9.6.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 9.7    Additional Indemnification Provisions.
(a)    For purposes of determining the failure of any representations or
warranties to be true and correct and calculating Losses hereunder as a result
of a failure of any representations or warranties to be true and correct, in
each case solely for purposes of this Article IX, any materiality, Ag Business
Material Adverse Effect or H&N Business Material Adverse Effect qualifications
in the representations and warranties (other than in the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.6, Section 3.8(a)(ii), Section 4.6 and Section
4.8(a)(ii)) shall be disregarded.
(b)    Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification
claim pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated,
to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may
have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying
such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such
rights to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.8    Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement (including this Article IX), neither party shall be
liable to the other party or its Affiliates, whether in contract, tort
(including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, at law or in equity,
and “Losses” shall not include any amounts for any special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages (except, in the case of incidental and
consequential damages only, to the extent such damages are a reasonably
foreseeable consequence of the matter giving rise to the applicable Loss);
provided, that nothing herein shall prevent any Fermat Indemnified Party or
Descartes Indemnified Party from being indemnified pursuant to this Article IX
for all components of awards against them in any Third Party Claim, including
components of such Third Party Claim relating to special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages, fines, penalties and attorneys’ fees.

Section 9.9    Indemnity Payments. Except to the extent otherwise required
pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code
or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), Descartes, Fermat and
their respective Affiliates shall treat any and all payments pursuant to Section
2.7, Section 2.8, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 5.8(v), Section 5.9(v),
Article VI or this Article IX as an adjustment to the purchase price for the Ag
Business or the H&N Business, as applicable, for Tax purposes.

ARTICLE X
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 10.1    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Acquisition
Documents, and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto, and the
Non-Disclosure Agreement, along with the Descartes Disclosure Schedule and
Fermat Disclosure Schedule, constitute the entire agreement and understanding
among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof
and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject
matter. Neither party shall be liable or bound to the other party in any manner
by any representations, warranties or

-226-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth
herein and therein and none shall be deemed to exist or be inferred with respect
to the subject matter hereof.

Section 10.2    Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in
part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either of the parties without the
prior written consent of the other party; hereto; provided that (a) Descartes
may, upon prior written notice to Fermat, transfer or assign, in whole or from
time to time in part, its rights under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of
Descartes but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve Descartes of its
obligations hereunder, and (b) Fermat may, upon prior written notice to
Descartes, transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, its rights
under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Fermat but any such transfer or
assignment will not relieve Fermat of its obligations hereunder; provided,
further, that, after the “Closing” (as defined in the Dirac/Descartes Merger
Agreement) shall have occurred, Descartes and its Subsidiaries may, upon written
notice delivered to Fermat not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to such
assignment, assign (i) any of their rights and obligations hereunder or under
the Acquisition Documents to any Subsidiary of Diamond-Orion Holdco Inc. (n/k/a
DowDuPont Inc.) that holds all or substantially all of Descartes’s agriculture
business and Dirac’s agricultural sciences business, as described in the Joint
Proxy Statement/Prospectus of Descartes and Dirac, dated June 10, 2016 (the
“Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), as then-conducted (the “Ag Subsidiary”)
and/or (ii) any of their rights hereunder or under the Acquisition Documents to
(A) any Subsidiary of the Ag Subsidiary and/or (B) a Subsidiary of Diamond-Orion
Holdco Inc. (n/k/a DowDuPont Inc.) that holds all or substantially all of
Descartes’s electronics and communications, nutrition and health, industrial
biosciences and safety and protection businesses and Dirac’s electronic
materials portion of its consumer solutions business and the electronics portion
of the silicones business of Dirac Corning Corporation as described in the Joint
Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as then-conducted (“Specialty Subsidiary”) or any
Subsidiary of the Specialty Subsidiary and shall be expressly permitted to
distribute the capital stock of the Ag Subsidiary and/or Specialty Subsidiary to
its or its then-Affiliates’ shareholders (including a distribution of shares in
any such Person in exchange for such shareholders’ interests in Descartes or
such Affiliate). Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence
shall be void ab initio; provided, that no failure to provide notice pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall render an otherwise valid assignment void. Subject
to the two preceding sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to
the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns including the Ag Subsidiary and the Specialty Subsidiary
or any Subsidiary thereof (as applicable).

Section 10.3    Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except
by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. Only
by an instrument in writing may Fermat, on the one hand, or Descartes, on the
other hand, waive compliance by the other with any term or provision of this
Agreement that the other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform. No
failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right

-227-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or
acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant herein,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right preclude other or further
exercise thereof or any other right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that any party seeks an amendment, modification, consent or waiver to any of (a)
this sentence, (b) the proviso to Section 10.4, (c) Section 10.7, (d)  Section
10.13 or (e) the definition of “Financing Source” herein, in each case, that
directly and adversely affects the Financing Sources, the prior written consent
of the Financing Sources shall be required before any such amendment,
modification, consent or waiver may become effective.

Section 10.4    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 5.22, Section
9.2 and Section 9.3, which are intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by,
the parties specified therein, this Agreement, together with the other
Acquisition Documents and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto are for
the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and
assigns and nothing herein (express or implied) is intended to confer in or on
behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and
assigns) any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the
subject matter or any provision hereof; provided, that the Financing Sources
shall be express third party beneficiaries of and have the right to enforce this
proviso to Section 10.4, the last sentence of Section 10.3, Section 10.7(b),
Section 10.8 and Section 10.13 (in each case to the extent relating directly to
such Financing Sources).

Section 10.6    Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable
damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate
remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform any
provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise
breach the Agreement. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the
parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other
equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any
other remedy to which they are entitled in Law or in equity. Each of the parties
agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific
performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an
adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an
appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Each of the parties
hereto hereby waives any defenses in any action for specific performance,
including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate, and any party
seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and
to enforce specifically the terms and

-229-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other
security in connection with such order or injunction.

Section 10.7    Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
(a)    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice
or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the parties
hereto (i) submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of
Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event)
that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction
over such dispute, the United States District Court for the District of
Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States
District Court also does not have jurisdiction over such dispute, any Delaware
State court sitting in New Castle County, in the event any dispute (whether in
contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Agreement or the Acquisitions or
the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt
to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for
leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the Acquisitions or the other transactions
contemplated hereby in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery in
and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such
Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such
Action, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the
event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does
not have jurisdiction over such Action, any Delaware State court sitting in New
Castle County; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit (A) Descartes’s or
any of its Subsidiaries’ ability or right to join, implead or otherwise bring
any third party claim against Fermat or any of its Subsidiaries in an action
against Descartes or any of its Subsidiaries by a third party in a jurisdiction
outside of the State of Delaware and Fermat agrees that, pursuant to Section
10.7(a)(i), it (and its Subsidiaries, as applicable) will submit to such
jurisdiction or (B) Fermat’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability or right to
join, implead or otherwise bring any third party claim against Descartes or any
of its Subsidiaries in an action brought against Fermat or any of its
Subsidiaries by a third party in a jurisdiction outside of the State of Delaware
and Descartes agrees that, pursuant to Section 10.7(a)(i), it (and its
Subsidiaries, as applicable) will submit to such jurisdiction. Service of
process, summons, notice or document to any party’s address and in the manner
set forth in Section 10.5 shall be effective service of process for any such
action. The parties hereto further agree, to the extent permitted by Law, that a
final and unappealable Judgment against a party in any action or proceeding
contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other
jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the Judgment, a
certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact
and amount of such Judgment.

-230-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing and without limiting Section 10.7(a), each
of the parties hereto (other than Fermat and its Subsidiaries) (i) agrees that
it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or
third party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity,
whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in
any way relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including but not limited to any
dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or
any other letter or agreement related to the Debt Financing or the performance
thereof, in any forum other than any State or Federal court sitting in the
Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, (ii) waives any right to trial by
jury in respect of any such action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third
party claim and (iii) agrees that any such action, cause of action, claim,
cross-claim or third party claim shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the
laws of any other State.

Section 10.8    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST
THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY
OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE ADMINISTRATION THEREOF
OR THE TRANSACTION OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR
THEREIN. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT,
PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR
ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENTS. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO
CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER
ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO
THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT
OR INSTRUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET
FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 10.8. NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR
REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.8 WILL NOT
BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

Section 10.9    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority
to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so
long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby
is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon a
determination that any term, provision, covenant or restriction is invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to
modify to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law this Agreement so as to
effect the

-231-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable
manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as
originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.10    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which shall be considered an original, with the same effect
as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall
become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each
party and delivered (by facsimile, e-mail, or otherwise) to the other party.

Section 10.11    Expenses. Whether or not the Closing takes place, and except as
set forth otherwise in this Agreement, all costs and expenses (including legal
fees, accounting fees, investment banking fees and filing fees) incurred in
connection with this Agreement, the Ag Acquisition and the H&N Acquisition and
the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring
such expense.

Section 10.12    Interpretation; Absence of Presumption. The specification of
any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or covenants contained
in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Descartes
Disclosure Schedule or Fermat Disclosure Schedule does not imply that such
amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are
or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of such
amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Descartes
Disclosure Schedule or Fermat Disclosure Schedule in any dispute or controversy
between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described
in this Agreement or included in the Descartes Disclosure Schedule or Fermat
Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Any
information, item or other disclosure set forth in any section or subsection of
the Descartes Disclosure Schedule or Fermat Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed
to have been set forth in any other section or subsection thereof, if the
relevance of such disclosure to another section or subsection thereof is
reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. Nothing herein (for the
avoidance of doubt, including the Descartes Disclosure Schedule or the Fermat
Disclosure Schedule) shall be deemed an admission by either party or any of its
Affiliates, in any Proceeding or Action, that such party or any such Affiliate,
or any third party, is or is not in breach or violation of, or in default in,
the performance or observance of any term or provisions of any Contract. For the
purposes of this Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be held to include
the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the

writing” include in electronic form; (h) provisions shall apply, when
appropriate, to successive events and transactions; (i) the headings contained
in this Agreement and the other Acquisition Documents are for reference purposes
only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement and the other Acquisition Documents; (j) Descartes and Fermat have
each participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the
other Acquisition Documents and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation
should arise, this Agreement and the other Acquisition Documents shall be
construed as if drafted jointly by the parties thereto and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening either party by virtue of the
authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement or the other Acquisition
Documents; (k) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and
permitted assigns; (l) any reference to “days” means calendar days unless
Business Days are expressly specified; (m) when calculating the period of time

calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is
not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day;
(n) any statute defined or referred to herein means such statute as from time to
time amended, modified or supplemented, unless otherwise specifically indicated
(provided that for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement that are made as of a specific date or dates, references to any
statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute, as amended, and to any rules
or regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as of such date); (o) the
use of the phrases “the date of this Agreement”, “the date hereof”, “of even
date herewith” and terms of similar import shall be deemed to refer to the date
set forth in the preamble to this Agreement; (p) the phrase “ordinary course of
business” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “consistent with past
practice” whether or not such words actually follow such phrase; (q) the words
“made available to Descartes” or “delivered to Descartes” or words of similar
import refer to documents posted to the virtual data room hosted by Intralinks
under the title “Project Y” on or prior to the third (3rd) day prior to the date
of this Agreement and which remain accessible to Descartes through and including
the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of this Agreement; (r) the words
“made available to Fermat” or “delivered to Fermat” or words of similar import
refer to documents posted to the virtual data room hosted by Intralinks under
the title “Project Liberty” on or prior to the third (3rd) day prior to the date
of this Agreement and which remain accessible to Fermat through and including
the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of this Agreement; (s) where a
word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have
a corresponding meaning; and (t) any consent given by any party hereto pursuant
to this Agreement shall be valid only if contained in a written instrument
signed by such party. In the case of any ambiguity or conflict between the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions contained in
Exhibits, Schedules or Acquisition Documents (unless in such Acquisition
Document, any such conflicting provision is

-233-
1414958.12A-NYCSR03A - MSW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

specifically and expressly agreed by the parties thereto to take precedence for
the limited purposes of such Acquisition Document) the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall take precedence.

Section 10.13    No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, (A) none of the parties (other than Fermat and its
Subsidiaries) shall have any rights or claims against any Financing Source, in
any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, or in respect of any, or in respect of any oral representations
made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether
at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise and (B) no Financing Source
shall have any liability (whether in contract, in tort or otherwise) to any
party hereto (other than Fermat and its Subsidiaries) for any obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or in respect of any
oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or
therewith, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided
the foregoing shall not limit Descartes’s rights to enforce the terms of this
Agreement against any other party hereto; provided, further, that, following
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the foregoing
will not limit the rights of the parties to the Debt Financing under the
definitive agreements with respect thereto.
