of this Agreement, the Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to

stock and Options of Holdings (collectively, the “Shares”).

1.3          Purchase Price. In consideration for the conveyance of the Shares
and in reliance on the representations and warranties, covenants and agreements
of the Seller and Mr. Sully contained herein, the Purchaser shall:

 

(a)

pay to the Seller an aggregate amount in cash equal to:

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

available funds on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date the parties shall
direct Lang Michener LLP to release the Deposit to the Seller.

1.4          Earn-Out Consideration. As an additional component of the Purchase
Price for the Shares and so long as Mr. Sully has not resigned or been
terminated for “Cause” (as defined in his employment agreement with Syscon
Canada, as contemplated by Section 7.5 hereof), the Purchaser shall pay to the
Seller up to $7 million each Earn-Out Year that the Corporations’ Revenue meets
or exceeds the Revenue targets in the Earn-Out Years up to a maximum of $21
million. The Earn-Out Years shall be: First Earn-Out Year – the first twelve
complete months after the Closing Date; Second Earn-Out Year – the second twelve
complete months after the Closing Date; and Third Earn-Out Year – the third
twelve complete months after the Closing Date.

(a)          First Earn-Out. As soon as practicable after the First Earn-Out
Year, the Corporations shall cause their accountants to prepare and deliver to
the Seller unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporations for
the First Earn-Out Year and a calculation of the Revenue of the Corporations for
the First Earn-Out Year (the “First Year Revenue”), which shall be prepared in
accordance with GAAP. The Purchaser and the Seller shall have the right to
dispute the calculation of the First Year Revenue (and any items therein) and
make any proposed adjustments thereto as provided in Section 1.5(c). If the
First Year Revenue equals or exceeds $56.5 million, on the applicable Settlement
Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller $7 million. If the First Year
Revenue exceeds $30 million but is less than $56.5 million on the applicable
Settlement Date the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller $7 million multiplied by
the following fraction:

First Year Revenue - $30 million

$26.5 million

(b)          Second Earn-Out. As soon as practicable after the Second Earn-Out
Year, the Corporations shall cause their accountants to prepare and deliver to
the Seller unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporations for
the Second Earn-Out Year and a calculation of the Revenue of the Corporations
for the Second Earn-Out Year (the “Second Year Revenue”), which shall be
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Purchaser and the Seller shall have the
right to dispute the calculation of the Second Year Revenue (and any items
therein) and make any proposed adjustments thereto as provided in Section
1.5(c). If the Second Year Revenue equals or exceeds $61.5 million, on the
applicable Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller $7 million. If
the Second Year Revenue exceeds $33.33 million but is less than $61.5 million,
on the applicable Settlement Date the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller $7
million multiplied by the following fraction:

Second Year Revenue - $33.33 million

$28.17 million

(c)          Third Earn-Out. As soon as practicable after the Third Earn-Out
Year, the Corporations shall cause their accountants to prepare and deliver to
Holdings unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporations for the
Third Earn-Out Year and a

 

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

calculation of the Revenue of the Corporations for the Third Earn-Out Year (the
“Third Year Revenue”), which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. Holdings
and the Corporations shall have the right to dispute the calculation of the
Third Year Revenue (and any items therein) and make any proposed adjustments
thereto as provided in Section 1.5(c). If the Third Year Revenue equals or
exceeds $63.1 million, on the applicable Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall
pay to the Seller $7 million. If the Third Year Revenue exceeds $36.67 million
but is less than $63.1 million, on the applicable Settlement Date the Purchaser
shall pay to the Seller $7 million multiplied by the following fraction:

Third Year Revenue - $36.67 million

$26.43 million

(d)          In the event that any portion of the First Earn-Out is not earned
pursuant to Section 1.4(a), but the Second Year Revenue exceeds $61.5 million,
then the Second Year Revenue in excess of $61.5 million shall be added to the
First Year Revenue to recompute the First Earn-Out. The Purchaser shall pay the
Seller any remaining First Earn-Out in excess of the First Earn-Out previously
paid to the Seller, if any, based upon the recalculated First Year Revenue on
the Settlement Date that the Second Earn-Out is paid.

(e)          In the event that any portion of the Second Earn-Out is not earned
pursuant to Section 1.4(b), but the Third Year Revenue exceeds $63.1 million,
then the Third Year Revenue in excess of $63.1 million shall be added to the
Second Year Revenue to recompute the Second Earn-Out. The Purchaser shall pay
the Seller any remaining Second Earn-Out in excess of the Second Earn-Out
previously paid to the Seller, if any, based upon the recalculated Second Year
Revenue on the Settlement Date that the Third Earn-Out is paid.

(f)           In the event that the First Year Revenue exceeds $56.5 million,
then the First Year Revenue in excess of $56.5 million shall be added to the
Second Year Revenue to recompute the Second Earn-Out. In the event that Second
Year Revenue exceeds $61.5 million the Seller may roll back any portion of such
excess revenue pursuant to Section 1.4(d) or alternatively, any other portion of
the Second Year Revenue in excess of $61.5 million shall be added to the Third
Year Revenue to compute the Third Earn-Out. The First Earn-Out, the Second
Earn-Out, and the Third Earn-Out are collectively referred to as the
“Earn-Outs”.

(g)          Irrespective of the foregoing, if the sum of the First Year
Revenue, the Second Year Revenue and the Third Year Revenue exceed $180 Million
on or prior to the end of the Third Earn-Out Year, the Purchaser shall pay the
Seller $21 million, less the amount of any prior Earn-Outs previously paid to
it, on the next Settlement Date.

1.5

Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a)          Pre Closing Adjustments. At least two (2) days prior to the Closing
Date an officer of the Corporations shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser
an estimated

 

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

consolidated balance sheet and an estimated calculation of the Closing Date Net
Working Capital for the Corporations as of the Closing Date immediately prior to
the Closing, prepared in accordance with GAAP (the “Estimated Closing Date
Balance Sheet”). The officer of the Corporations shall also provide the
Purchaser with copies of all work papers and other documents and data as were
used to prepare the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet. If the Estimated
Closing Date Balance Sheet shows a Working Capital Shortfall, the Cash Amount
paid at Closing shall be decreased by the aggregate amount of such Working
Capital Shortfall.

(b)          Post Closing Adjustments. As soon as practicable after the Closing
Date, but no later than 45 days thereafter, the Purchaser shall cause its
accountants to prepare and deliver to the Seller a consolidated balance sheet
for the Corporations (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and a calculation of the
Closing Date Net Working Capital on the Closing Date immediately prior to the
Closing, which shall be prepared by the Purchaser in accordance with GAAP. The
Purchaser’s accountants shall also make available to the Seller copies of all
work papers and other documents and data as were used to prepare the Closing
Date Balance Sheet. The Seller and the Purchaser shall have the right to dispute
the Closing Date Balance Sheet (and any items therein) and the Closing Date Net
Working Capital calculation and make any proposed adjustments thereto as
provided in Section 1.5(c) hereto.

(i)           If it is determined there is a Working Capital Shortfall in excess
of the estimated Working Capital Shortfall, the excess Working Capital Shortfall
shall be paid by the Seller to the Corporations on the Settlement Date; or

(ii)          If it is determined there is a Working Capital Shortfall less than
the estimated Working Capital Shortfall, the difference shall be paid by the
Corporations to the Seller on the Settlement Date; or

(iii)        If it is determined that there is a Working Capital Surplus, the
Working Capital Surplus plus the amount of any Working Capital Shortfall
deducted from the Cash Amount pursuant to Section 1.5(a) shall be paid by the
Corporations to the Seller on the Settlement Date;

(iv)         In the event a Working Capital Surplus is not paid to the Seller on
the Settlement Date (unless due to the fault of either the Seller or Mr. Sully),
the Corporations shall also pay to the Seller interest on the amount of the
Working Capital Surplus plus the amount of any Working Capital Shortfall
deducted from the Cash Amount pursuant to Section 1.5(a) at a rate of fifteen
percent (15%) per annum, which shall accrue from the Closing Date to the date of
actual payment. In the event a Working Capital Shortfall is not paid to the
Corporations on the Settlement Date (unless due to the fault of the Purchaser),
the Seller shall also pay to the Corporations interest on the amount of the
Working Capital Shortfall at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, which
shall accrue from the Closing Date to the date of actual payment.

 

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

 

(c)          Dispute Resolution Procedures. The Seller shall have until thirty
(30) days after the delivery of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the First
Year Revenue, the Second Year Revenue, and the Third Year Revenue, as
applicable, to review such calculations and propose any adjustments thereto. All
adjustments proposed by the Seller shall be set out in detail in a written
statement delivered to the Purchaser (the “Adjustment Statement”) and shall be
incorporated into the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the First Year Revenue, the
Second Year Revenue, and the Third Year Revenue, as applicable, unless the
Purchaser shall object in writing to such proposed adjustments within five (5)
days of receipt of the Adjustment Statement. If the Purchaser and the Seller
disagree on the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the First Year Revenue, the
Second Year Revenue, and the Third Year Revenue calculations, they shall attempt
in good faith to resolve their dispute, but if a final resolution thereof is not
obtained within ten (10) days after the Purchaser delivers to the Seller its
objections, either the Purchaser or the Seller may retain for the benefit of all
the parties hereto Deloitte & Touche LLP, or if unavailable or unwilling to
participate, another nationally recognized independent accounting firm
reasonably acceptable to both the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Independent
Accountant”) to resolve any remaining disputes concerning the Adjustment
Statement. If the Independent Accountant is retained, then (i) the Seller and
the Purchaser shall each submit to the Independent Accountant in writing not
later than fifteen (15) days after the Independent Accountant is retained their
respective positions with respect to the Adjustment Statement, together with
such supporting documentation as they deem necessary and (ii) the Independent
Accountant’s decision shall be final and binding on, and nonappealable by, the
Seller and the Purchaser. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant
shall be paid by the party whose estimate of the Closing Date Net Working
Capital, the First Year Revenue, the Second Year Revenue, and the Third Year
Revenue, as applicable, is furthest from the Independent Accountant’s
calculation of the same.

(d)          There shall be a “Settlement Date” after the calculation of the
Closing Date Net Working Capital, the First Year Revenue, the Second Year
Revenue, and the Third Year Revenue, as applicable, which shall mean the
following, as applicable:

(i)           If the Seller agrees with the Purchaser’s calculations, five (5)
business days after written notice thereof is delivered;

(ii)          If the Seller has not timely delivered an Adjustment Statement to
the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.5(c) within such thirty (30) days, then the
Settlement Date shall be thirty-five (35) days after the date the Seller
receives the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital, First Year
Revenue, Second Year Revenue or Third Year Revenue, as applicable;

(iii)        If the Seller has timely delivered an Adjustment Statement pursuant
to Section 1.5(c) above, and the Purchaser has not timely disputed it,
thirty-five (35) days after the date the Purchaser receives the Adjustment
Statement;

 

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

 

(iv)         If the Seller and the Purchaser have any disputes regarding an
Adjustment Statement and they resolve those disputes, five (5) business days
after such resolution;

(v)          Five (5) business days after the Independent Accountant’s decision,
if applicable; or

(vi)         Such other date as shall be agreed between the Seller and the
Purchaser.

in the manufacturing, marketing, licensing, sale or distribution of products and
the general conduct and operations of the business of the Corporations) does not
violate, infringe, misappropriate or misuse any rights of any third party. No
Intellectual Property owned by the Corporations and which is the subject of any
issuance, registration or application therefor, in any province, territory or
jurisdiction (hereafter, “Corporation Registered IP”), has been cancelled,
abandoned or otherwise terminated and all renewal and maintenance fees in
respect thereof have been duly paid. Each of the Corporations has the exclusive
right to file, prosecute and maintain all applications and registrations with
respect to the Corporation Registered IP.

(d)          Except as set forth in Schedule 2.17(d) hereto, the Corporations

the right of the Corporations to use any Intellectual Property. The Intellectual
Property set forth on Schedule 2.17(a), owned by the Corporations together with
rights under the licensing listed in Schedule 2.17(b) hereto constitute all the
material Intellectual Property necessary to operate the business of the
Corporations as of the Closing Date and thereafter, in the manner in which it is
presently operated. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.17(d) hereto, the
Corporations have not made any Claim in writing of a violation, infringement,
misuse or misappropriation by any third party (including, without limitation,
any employee or former employee of the Corporations) of its rights to, or in
connection with any Intellectual Property, which Claim is still pending. Except
as set forth in Schedule 2.17(d) hereto, the Corporations have not entered into
any Contract to indemnify any other Person against any charge of infringement of
any Intellectual Property, other than indemnification provisions contained in
purchase orders or license agreements arising in the ordinary course of
business.

(e)          Except as set forth in Schedule 2.17(e) hereto, to the Knowledge of
the Corporations, there is no pending or threatened Claims by any Person or
Authority of a violation, infringement, misuse or misappropriation by the
Corporations of any Intellectual Property owned by any third party, or of the
invalidity of any Corporation Registered IP. The Corporations do not know of any
valid basis for any such Claims. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.17(e) hereto,
there are no interferences or other contested proceedings, either pending or, to
the Knowledge of the Corporations, threatened, in the Canadian Intellectual
Property Office or any Authority (foreign or domestic) relating to any pending
application with respect to the Corporation Registered IP.

(f)           The Corporations have secured valid written assignments and
waivers of moral rights from all Persons (including, without limitation,
consultants and employees) who contributed to the creation or development of the
Corporations’ Intellectual Property, of the rights to such contributions that
the Corporations do not already own by operation of law including, without
limitation, with respect to any computer software licensed to customers. The
Corporations have taken all commercially reasonable steps to

 

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

protect and preserve the confidentiality of all their trade secrets, know-how,
source codes, databases, customer lists, schematics, ideas, algorithms and
processes and all use, disclosure or appropriation thereof by or to any third
party has been pursuant to the terms of a written agreement between such third
party and the Corporations. To the Knowledge of the Corporations, none of the
Corporations has materially breached any Contracts of non-disclosure or
confidentiality.

(g)          Except as set forth in Schedule 2.17(g) hereto, for the twelve
month period prior to the Closing Date, the internet domain names and URLs used
by the Corporations (hereafter, together with any content and other materials
accessible and/or displayed thereon, the “Sites”) direct and resolve to the
appropriate internet protocol addresses and are and have been maintained and
accessible to internet users on those certain computers used by the Corporations
to make the Sites so accessible (the “Server”) approximately twenty-four (24)
hours per day, seven (7) days per week (“24/7”) and are and have been
operational for downloading content from the Server on a 24/7 basis. The
Corporations have fully operational back-up copies of the Sites (and all related
software, databases and other information), made from the current versions of
the Sites as accessible to internet users on the Server (and copied directly
therefrom) which copies will have been made at least every two weeks from the
date hereof until the Closing Date. Such back-up copies are kept in a safe and
secure environment, fit for the back-up of media, and are not located at the
same location of the Server. The Corporations have no reason to believe that the
Sites will not operate on the Server or will not continue to be accessible to
internet users on a 24/7 basis prior to, at the time of, and after the Closing
Date.

(h)          Except as set forth on Schedule 2.17(h) hereto, all material
information technology systems in production use by the Corporations are
currently operating and will continue to operate until the Closing Date in
substantial compliance with all applicable system design and functional
specifications and in a manner not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

(i)           The conduct of the business of the Corporations is in material
compliance with all Regulations and requirements, in addition to the
Corporations’ own rules, policies and procedures, relating to privacy, data
protection and the collection and use of personal information, howsoever such
data and information has been collected, transferred, used or held.

(j)           Except as set forth on Schedule 2.17(j) hereto, no product or

parties contains or utilizes Intellectual Property other than Intellectual
Property that is owned or freely sub-licensable by the Corporations and no such
products or services utilize or embody any open source code and there are no
products or services in development by the Corporations that utilize or embody
any open source code. To the Knowledge of the Corporations, the products and
services of the Corporations (including any software or media used in connection
therewith) contain no computer instructions, computer code, circuitry or other
technological means (collectively, "Harmful Code") which may disrupt, damage or
interfere with the use of the Corporations’ or any third parties' computer or
telecommunications facilities and systems. Harmful Code shall include, without

 

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

limitation, any automatic restraint, time-bomb, trap-door, virus, worm, trojan
horse, key logger software, or other harmful code or instrumentality that may
cause the products or services of the Corporations or any other software,
hardware or system to cease to operate or to fail to conform to its
specifications.

2.18       Customer Warranties. There have been no pending, nor to the Knowledge
of the Corporations, threatened, any Claims under or pursuant to any warranty,
whether expressed or implied, on products or services sold prior to the Closing

of the services rendered by the Corporations (whether directly or indirectly
through independent contractors) have been performed in all material respects in
conformity with all expressed warranties and contractual commitments and the
Corporations do not have nor shall they have any material liability for
replacement or repair or for other damages relating to or arising from any such

material service being developed by or on behalf of the Corporations, a true and
correct evelopment status, including the dates on which the development of each
such product or service is expected to be completed. To the Knowledge of the
Corporations, no fact, condition or circumstance exists that would materially
impair or delay the development of any such products or services of the
Corporations. The Corporations have not entered into any Contract which
restricts their right to make, use or sell to an unlimited number of third
parties any products currently contemplated by, designed by or designed on
behalf of the Corporations.

(b)          Each product that has been licensed or sold by the Corporations to
any Person: (i) conformed and complied in all material respects with the terms
and requirements of any applicable warranty or other Contract and with all
applicable Regulations; and (ii) was free of any material design defects,
construction defects or other defects or deficiencies at the time of sale,
except for any immaterial deficiencies that can be corrected without incurring
expense in excess of warranty reserves. All repair services and other services
that have been performed by the Corporations were performed properly in all
material respects and in material conformity with the terms and requirements of
all applicable warranties and other Contracts and with all applicable
Regulations. The Corporations will not incur or otherwise become subject to any
material liability arising directly or indirectly from any product manufactured,
licensed or sold, or any repair services or other services performed by, the
Corporations on or at any time prior to the Closing Date. No product
manufactured, licensed or sold by the Corporations has been the subject of any
recall or other similar action; and no event has occurred, and no condition or
circumstance exists, that might (with or without notice or lapse of time)
directly or indirectly give rise to or serve as a basis for any such recall or
other similar action relating to any such product. There are no unresolved
Claims or threatened Claims by any customer or other Person against the
Corporations (i) under or

 

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

based upon any warranty provided by or on behalf of the Corporations, or (ii)
under or based upon any other warranty relating to any product licensed or sold
by the Corporations or any services performed by the Corporations. To the
Knowledge of the Corporations, no event has occurred, and no condition or
circumstance exists, that might (with or without notice or lapse of time)
directly or indirectly give rise to or serve as a basis for the assertion of any
such claim.

assets or operations of the Corporation for all taxable periods.

terminated any and all of the Tax sharing, allocation, indemnification or
similar agreements, arrangements or undertakings in effect, written or
unwritten, on the Closing Date as between himself or any predecessor or

under any such agreements, arrangements or undertakings.

filing of an election or elections under either or both of subsection 184(3) and

(Canada) (or any provincial equivalent) in connection with the declaration and
payment of such dividend and to give Syscon Canada or any successor thereof all
such cooperation and assistance as may be necessary to ensure that such election
or elections are duly filed in a timely manner with the appropriate taxing
authorities.

with the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein or in any
instrument or document delivered or to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement,
shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date until all
obligations set forth therein shall have been performed and satisfied
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by or on behalf
of any party hereto as follows: (a) the representations and warranties in

four (24) month period commencing on the Closing Date; provided that the
representations, warranties and indemnities for which an indemnification Claim
shall be pending as of the end of the applicable period referred to herein shall
survive with respect to such Claim until the final disposition thereof. The
representations and warranties in this Agreement and the schedules attached
hereto or in any writing delivered in connection herewith shall in no event be
affected by any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of

employee, partner or agent of any party seeking indemnification hereunder or by
the acceptance of any certificate or opinion from any third party.

12.2

Limitations.

(a)          Neither party shall be required to indemnify the other party under
Sections 12.3(a) and 12.4(a) until the indemnifiable damages, individually or in
the aggregate, exceed $200,000 (the “Hurdle Rate”), at which point such
indemnifying party shall be responsible for all indemnifiable damages that may
arise, irrespective of the Hurdle Rate; and provided that indemnifiable damages
shall accumulate until such time as they exceed the Hurdle Rate, whereupon the
party to be indemnified shall be entitled to seek indemnification for the full
amount of such damages; and provided further that any materiality, Material
Adverse Effect, Knowledge of the Corporation or any similar qualification in the
representations and warranties shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating
damages and the Hurdle Rate.

Article II (other than Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 2.12, 2.14, and 2.25, or for

agreements) shall not exceed $11 million plus twenty percent (20%) of the
aggregate amount of the Earn-Outs paid to the Seller pursuant to Section 1.4
hereof.

(c)          Indemnification Claims shall be reduced, by and to the extent, that
an indemnitee shall actually receive proceeds under insurance policies, risk
sharing pools, or similar arrangements specifically as a result of, and in
compensation for, the subject matter of an indemnification Claim by such
indemnitee; provided, that such proceeds shall be disregarded for purposes of
calculating the Hurdle Rate; and provided further that the availability of such
proceeds for any indemnification Claim shall not be a defense to such Claim or
be utilized as a means of delaying indemnification payments hereunder.

12.3       Indemnification by Mr. Sully and the Seller. Subject to Sections 12.1
and 12.2, the Seller and Mr. Sully jointly and severally agree to, and shall
indemnify the Purchaser, the Corporations and their respective officers,

obligation, commitment, cost or expense (including the fees and expenses of
counsel) resulting from, or in respect of, any of the following:

Closing Date and other pre-Closing transactions, Tax liability arising from the
conversion from a cash to accrual basis of accounting and any Tax liability as a
result of a Taxing Authority taking the position that any former or current
subcontractor of the Corporations or the Seller should have been, at any time

Closing Date Balance Sheet. Any Taxes, penalties or interest attributable to the
operations of the Corporations or the Seller payable as a result of an audit of
any Tax Return shall be deemed to have accrued in the period to which such
Taxes, penalties or interest are attributable.

(d)          Any failure of the Seller to have good, valid and marketable title
to all the capital stock or Options of the Corporations, free and clear of all
Liens, Claims and Order, including without limitation, any Claim by a former
shareholder of the Corporations or any other Person seeking to assert: (i)

Corporations; (ii) any rights of a shareholder including any Option, preemptive
rights or rights to receive notice or to vote; (iii) any rights under the

or (iv) any Claim that his shares of capital stock or securities that were
convertible or exchangeable into capital stock or Options were improperly
repurchased by the Corporations.

(e)          Any Claim for the Corporations’, the Seller’s or Mr. Sully’s
transaction costs or expenses not paid at Closing.

the Purchaser under this Agreement.

(c)          All demands, assessments, judgments, costs and reasonable legal and
other expenses arising from, or in connection with, any action, suit, proceeding
or Claim incidental to any of the foregoing.

12.5

Third-Party Claims.

(a)          The following procedures shall be applicable with respect to
indemnification for third-party Claims (other than any Claims with respect to
Tax Matters, which shall be governed by Section 11.4). Promptly after receipt by
the party seeking indemnification hereunder (hereinafter referred to as the
“Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any (i) Tax audit or proceeding
for the assessment of Tax by any Taxing Authority or any other proceeding likely
to result in the imposition of a Tax liability or obligation or (ii) any action
or the assertion of any Claim, liability or obligation by a third party (whether
by legal process or otherwise), against which Claim, liability or obligation the
other party to this Agreement (hereinafter the “Indemnitor”) is, or may be,
required under this Agreement to indemnify such Indemnitee, the Indemnitee
shall, if a Claim thereon is to be, or may be, made against the Indemnitor,
notify the Indemnitor in writing of the commencement or assertion thereof and
give the Indemnitor a copy of such Claim, process and all legal pleadings. The
Indemnitor shall have the right to (i) participate in the defense of such action
with counsel of reputable standing and (ii) assume the defense of such action by
agreeing to assume such defense within ten (10) days of transmittal of the
written notice of the Claim by the Indemnitee, in writing upon petition by the
Indemnitee, if an appropriate court rules that the Indemnitor failed or is
failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Claim, in which events the
Indemnitee may assume the defense.

(b)          The Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall use their respective
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the defense of any third party
Claims. In the event that the Indemnitor assumes or participates in the defense
of such third party Claim as provided herein, the Indemnitee shall make
available to the Indemnitor all relevant records and take such other action and
sign such documents as are reasonable necessary to defend such third party Claim
in a timely manner. If the Indemnitee shall be required by judgment or a
settlement agreement to pay any amount in respect of any obligation or liability
against which the Indemnitor has agreed to indemnify the Indemnitee under this
Agreement, the Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee in an amount
equal to the amount of such payment plus all expenses (including legal fees and
expenses) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such obligation or
liability subject to this Article XII. No Indemnitor, in the defense of any such
Claim, shall, except with the consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a
release from all liability with respect to such Claim. In the event that the
Indemnitor does not accept the defense of any matter for which it is entitled to
assume as provided above, the Indemnitee shall have the full right to defend
such Claim.

 

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

 

(c)          Prior to paying or settling any Claim against which an Indemnitor
is, or may be, obligated under this Agreement to indemnify an Indemnitee, the
Indemnitee must first supply the Indemnitor with a copy of a final court
judgment or decree holding the Indemnitee liable on such Claim or failing such
judgment or decree, must first receive the written approval of the terms and
conditions of such settlement from the Indemnitor, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided however, that no written approval is required
from the Indemnitor as to any third party Claim (i) that results solely in
injunctions or other equitable remedies in respect of the Indemnitee or its
business; or (ii) that settles liabilities, or portions thereof, that are not
subject to indemnification hereunder.

(d)          An Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any
case and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized
in writing by the Indemnitor in connection with the defense of such Claim; (ii)
the Indemnitor shall not have employed counsel in the defense of such Claim
after ten days notice; or (iii) such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be defenses available to it which are contrary to, or
inconsistent with, those available to the Indemnitor; in any of the foregoing
events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnitor.

12.6       Security for the Indemnification Obligation. If any Indemnitor fails
to comply with its obligations to make cash payments to an Indemnitee in an
aggregate amount sufficient to reimburse the Indemnitee for all losses resulting
from an indemnified Claim, the Indemnitee may pursue any and all rights and
remedies against the Indemnitor available in law or in equity, subject only to
the limitations set forth in Section 12.2 above. In addition, and not in
limitation of or in substitution for the foregoing, in the event the Purchaser
or the Parent is the Indemnitee, the Purchaser or the Parent may either (i)
cancel shares of Parent Common Stock retained by the breaching Indemnitors or
(ii) reduce the amount to be paid pursuant to the applicable Earn-Out due that
year.
