Asset Purchase Agreement



 Exhibit 10.1 
 ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 This Asset Purchase Agreement (the
“Agreement”) is made as of May 1, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Asempra (Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors), LLC, in its sole and limited capacity as Assignee for the Benefit of Creditors of
Asempra Technologies, Inc. (the “Seller”), with principal offices located at 1100 La Avenida, Mountain View, CA 94043, and BakBone Software, Inc., a California corporation (the “Buyer”), with principal
offices located at 9540 Towne Centre Drive, San Diego, CA 92121. 
 RECITALS 
 A. By resolution of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Asempra Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (the
“Assignor”), as memorialized in the duly executed minutes, Assignor has transferred ownership of all its right, title and interest in and to tangible and intangible assets (the “Assets”) to Seller, and
in so doing has also designated Seller to act, pursuant to California law, as the Assignee for the Benefit of Creditors of Assignor. The General Assignment agreement (the “General Assignment”) between Assignor and Seller, as
assignee, is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
 B. Seller and Buyer have identified a subset of the Assets that Buyer desires to
purchase from Seller (the “Required Assets”). The Required Assets are listed in Section 1.2 below. After consummation of the Closing contemplated under this Agreement, Seller will liquidate any remaining Assets that are
not Required Assets (the “Remaining Assets”), and will undertake the winding down of Assignor, which shall ultimately include, but shall not be limited to, the distribution of net funds, after payment of fees and costs
associated with the liquidation and winding down, to Assignor’s creditors, which are generated from the sale of the Assets. 
 C. Seller
desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, the Required Assets, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	PURCHASE AND SALE OF REQUIRED ASSETS. 

 1.1 Agreement to Sell and Purchase Required Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance on the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell,
assign, transfer and convey to Buyer at the Closing (as defined in Section 2.2 below), and Buyer agrees to purchase and acquire from Seller at the Closing, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Required Assets. The
Required Assets will be sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to Buyer (subject to Section 1.3) on the Closing Date “as is” and “where is”, with no representations or warranties other than those specifically set forth
below, and subject to any and all pledges, liens, licenses, rights of possession, security interests, restrictions, encumbrances, charges, title retention, conditional sale or other security arrangements of any nature whatsoever (collectively,
“Encumbrances”). 
 1.2 Required Assets Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term
“Required Assets” means, collectively, Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (a) all intellectual property rights or interests relating in any way to all or any part of the Asempra BCS product family,
including, without limitation, any software, hardware and firmware relating thereto, in object and source code form; all patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other applications therefore; all user manuals, reference manuals and other
documentation and materials relating to any Required Assets; and any derivative works, foreign language versions, fixes, upgrades, updates, enhancements and new versions thereof; (b) any and all rights, claims and interests relating to the
Required Assets, any employee or third party confidentiality nondisclosure, intellectual property or other proprietary rights assignment agreement, or any claims or rights for breach thereof, as the same relate to Required Assets; and (c) those
assets listed in Exhibit B attached hereto, provided, however, that the Required Assets shall not, under any circumstances, include Seller’s or Assignor’s (i) cash, (ii) accounts receivable, (iii) claims or preference
or fraudulent conveyance recoveries under applicable law, (iv) state or federal tax refunds, (v) insurance refunds or recoveries, (vi) utility or leasehold security deposits, (vii) customer contracts, and (viii) real
property leases.

However, the remaining assets of Seller shall be stripped of all Required Assets, including the removal of all software and documentation from such assets
besides Required Assets, with no trace of any Required Assets left behind at Seller. Buyer shall promptly execute and deliver to Seller any and all such further assignments, endorsements and other documents as Seller may reasonably request for the
purpose of effectuating the terms and conditions of this Section. 
 1.3 Asset Transfer; Passage of Title; Delivery.

 (a) Title Passage. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, upon the Closing, title to all of the Required
Assets shall pass to Buyer; and Seller shall make available to Buyer possession of all of the Required Assets as provided in subsection 1.3(b), and shall further, upon Buyer’s request, execute assignments, conveyances and/or bills of sale
reasonably requested to convey to Buyer title to all the Required Assets, subject to the Encumbrances not discharged pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with Section 1.1 of this Agreement, as well as such other instruments of conveyance
as counsel for Buyer may reasonably deem necessary to effect or evidence the transfers contemplated hereby; provided that, as provided in Section 8.1, Buyer’s obligation to close shall be subject to the Buyer’s satisfaction with the
elimination of the lien by ATEL Ventures, Inc. (“ATEL”) on the Required Assets. The intent of the parties is that the first goal of the use of the Purchase Price is to discharge ATEL’s lien, but that, once Buyer closes,
the balance of the Purchase Price can be retained by Seller, except as the parties hereto may otherwise agree in any amendment hereto at or before the closing. 
 (b) Delivery of Required Assets. On the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.2), Seller shall make available to Buyer
possession of the Required Assets, provided however, that the expenses of retrieving, removing and transferring the Required Assets shall be borne exclusively by Buyer. 
 (c) Release of Encumbrances. On the Closing Date Seller shall deliver to Buyer in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (the
“Encumbrance Release Arrangements”) a release of the lien by ATEL on the Required Assets. 
 (d) Retention
of Documents. As Assignee, Seller is responsible for maintaining business records during the assignment process and, among other things, will have to prepare and file final tax returns. To the extent Buyer requires business records of Assignor
that Seller requires to administer the assignment estate, Buyer shall, at its own expense, arrange to obtain copies of such records from Seller. 
 1.4 Release. Seller shall execute and perform the Release in the form of Exhibit E hereto (the “Release”). 
  

	2.	PURCHASE PRICE; PAYMENTS. 

 2.1

Incorporated, a Canadian corporation (“Parent”) to issue Three Million Eight Hundred Forty-Six Thousand One Hundred Fifty-Four (3,846,154) common shares of Parent (the “Parent Common Shares”),
which shall be issued to Seller less the amount required to discharge or satisfy the claim of ATEL pursuant to its agreement with Seller as set forth on Exhibit D hereto (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). ”

 2.2 Closing. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Required Assets contemplated hereby will take place at a
closing to be held at the offices of Morrison & Foerster LLP, 12531 High Bluff Drive, San Diego, California (the “Closing”), on May 1, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), or at such other time or
date, and at such place, or by such other means of exchanging documents, as may be agreed to by the parties hereto. If the Closing does not occur on or prior to May 1, 2009, or such later date upon which Buyer and Seller may agree in writing,
this Agreement shall terminate upon written notice of termination given by either party hereto that is not in default of its obligations hereunder, and thereupon this Agreement shall become null and void and no party hereto will have any further
rights or obligations hereunder, except that Sections 6.1 and 7.3 shall survive such termination.

its right, title and interest in and to the Required Assets to Buyer “as is” and “where is”, with no representations or warranties as to merchantability, fitness or use, and the Required Assets shall be subject to the
Encumbrances, except the lien by ATEL which is to be released as provided hereunder.

decrees, injunctions or orders of any court, governmental body, department, commission, agency, instrumentality or arbitrator against Seller or Assignor affecting the Required Assets. Assignor’s landlord has filed an action for unlawful

 5.7 Seller Status. Seller is either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined
in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Seller, either alone or together with its
representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Parent Common Shares and has so evaluated the merits and risks of
such investment. Seller is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Parent Common Shares, and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Seller is obtaining the Parent Common Shares solely for its own
account and for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act and does not have any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of or
distributing the Parent Common Shares or any portion thereof, except as may be permitted by law. 
 5.8 Restricted Securities.
Seller understands that the Parent Common Shares are “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and are being acquired from Parent in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable
regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Seller represents that it is familiar with and understands the resale limitations imposed by the
Securities Act, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Seller understands that the Parent Common Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and have not been and will not be registered or qualified in any state in
which they are offered, and thus Seller will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer the Parent Common Shares unless they are registered under the Securities Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption
from such registration or qualification is available. 
  

	6.	COVENANTS OF BUYER.

offer, agreement or understanding between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 11.4 Amendment;
Waiver. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by Seller and Buyer. The observance of any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound by such waiver. No waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other breach or any succeeding breach. 
 11.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or to
give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 11.6
Execution in Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 11.7 Benefit and Burden. This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by and
against, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
 11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California (excluding application of any choice of law doctrines that would make applicable the law of any other state or jurisdiction) and, where appropriate,
applicable federal law. 
 11.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is for any reason and to any extent deemed to
be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall not be voided but rather shall be enforced to the maximum extent then permissible under then applicable law and so as to reasonably effect the intent of the parties hereto, and the remainder of
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. 
 11.10 Attorneys’ Fees. Should a suit or arbitration be brought to
enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees to be fixed in amount by the Court or the Arbitrator(s) (including without limitation costs, expenses and fees on
any appeal). The prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs of suit or arbitration, as applicable, regardless of whether such suit or arbitration proceeds to a final judgment or award.
