(b)

In the event that the party against whom a claim is asserted, within a reasonable time after notice of any third-party claim, fails to defend, the asserting party shall (upon further notice to the party against whom a claim is asserted) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the party against whom a claim is asserted, subject to the right of the party against whom a claim is asserted, upon written notice, to assume the defense of such claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.  Reasonable time as used in this Article 6 means not more than five (5) days or such lesser period as may be required by the particular circumstances of a claim (e.g., an answer to a complaint is due in three (3) days).

Upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such set-off, Buyer may set off any amount to which it may be entitled under this Article 6 against amounts otherwise payable from the Holdback.  The exercise of such right of set-off by Buyer in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default.  Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of set off will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

If Buyer determines not to proceed with the transactions described herein for reasons other than (i) a Material Adverse Effect in the financial condition or prospects of the Business and Copy Concepts, (ii) discovery in the course of due diligence or review of Seller Schedules of any facts and circumstances concerning the Assets that are different to the degree of a Material Adverse Effect from Buyer's current assumptions about such facts and circumstances, or (iii) Seller's proposal of any material term in the definitive agreement that was not contained in the parties' letter of intent (including, without limitation, any proposal whether or not considered material, that Buyer increase the purchase price or assume additional liabilities), then Buyer shall pay Seller's attorneys and accountants up to a combined total of $75,000 for their fees and disbursements incurred in representing Seller from and after the execution of the letter of intent to the date that Seller receives written notice terminating such transactions; provided that such fees shall be charged at regular hourly rates and shall be documented in customary detail.

Section 7.2

Public Releases.  Buyer and Seller shall agree with one another as to the form and substance of any press release related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall consult with each other as to the form and substance of other public disclosures related thereto; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit any party hereto from making any disclosure which it deems necessary in light of applicable laws or regulations.

Section 7.3

Cooperation and Efforts.  The parties agree to cooperate with one another and to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, using all reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals to be provided by each of them hereunder, and to effect all necessary registrations and filings, including, but not limited to, submissions of information requested by governmental authorities and assistance and cooperation in the filing of tax returns after the Closing Date.

Section 7.4

Survival.  The representations, warranties and covenants and agreements of the Seller contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall be subject to the indemnity provisions of Article 6.  All statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by a party pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties of such party hereunder as of the date of such certificate of instrument.

Section 7.5

Conduct of Business; Access.  From the date hereof through the Closing Date, Seller shall operate the Business and Copy Concepts strictly in the ordinary course, consistent with past practices and Seller will take all reasonable action and all reasonable forbearance from action to preserve the business relations of Seller.  Seller shall:  (a) consult with the Buyer on a regular basis with respect to all material decisions with respect to its Business; (b) not take any affirmative action which would be required to be disclosed hereunder; and (c) give the Buyer prompt written notice of each event which, in Sellers best judgment, might be material to its Business.  From the date hereof through the Closing Date, Seller shall not create, or permit there to be, any liens or other security interests encumbering its assets of properties.  From the date hereof through the Closing Date, Seller shall take and forbear from taking all action necessary in order to make the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 3 hereof true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date.  From the date hereof through the Closing Date, continuing through written agreement on the Final Financial Statements or delivery of the Accountants Financial Statements, as applicable, described in Section 2.5 above, and continuing until three (3) years after the last tax return of Seller is filed, Seller will permit the Buyer and any authorized representatives of the Buyer to visit and inspect the properties of Seller, to examine the books of account and other corporate records of Seller and to make copies thereof, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Seller with the accountants, officers and employees of Seller, all upon reasonable notice and at such times and as often as the Buyer may reasonably request.

Section 7.6

Negative Covenant.  Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller and the Shareholders will not, and will cause Seller not to, without prior consent of Buyer, take any affirmative action, or fail to take any reasonable action within their or its control, as a result of which any of the changes or events listed in Section 3.8 is likely to occur.

Section 7.7

Buyer Cooperation.    From the Closing Date until three (3) years after the last tax return of Seller is filed, Buyer will permit the Seller and any authorized representatives of the Seller to visit and inspect the properties of Buyer, to examine the books of account and other corporate records of the Business and Copy Concepts and to make copies thereof, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Business and Copy Concept prior to the Closing with the accountants, officers and employees of Buyer, all upon reasonable notice and at such times and as often as the Seller may reasonably request.

Section 7.8

Notification.  Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller will promptly notify Buyer in writing if Seller becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of Sellers representation and warranties as of the date of this Agreement, or if Seller becomes aware of this occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such representation and warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition.  Should any such fact or condition require any change in the Disclosure Schedules if the Disclosure Schedules were dated on the date of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition, Seller promptly will deliver to Buyer a supplement to the Disclosure Schedules specifying such change.  During the same period, Seller will promptly notify the Buyer of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of Seller in this Section or of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 5 impossible or unlikely.

Section 7.9

No Solicitation of Transactions.  From the date hereof through the Closing Date, neither the Shareholders nor Seller will, directly or indirectly, and will not authorize the officers, directors and agents of Seller to, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions or negotiations with respect to, or furnish to any other person any information (except as required by applicable law) with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with or assist or participate in any effort or attempt by any person (other than the Buyer or an affiliate or associate of the Buyer) to effect any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of the Assets.  Seller immediately shall notify the Buyer if any such proposed offer, or any inquiry or contact with any person with respect thereto, is made.

Section 7.10

Accounts Receivable.  From and after the Closing Date the Seller:  (a) appoints Buyer its attorney in fact to endorse all payments on accounts receivable sold hereunder; (b) immediately will forward all payments to the Business and Copy Concepts of any nature to Seller, validly endorsed or otherwise made validly payable to Buyer; (c) will notify all assigned accounts receivable of their assignment to Buyer but only in the manner authorized in advance by Buyer; and (d) shall assist at the Buyers request in the collection of the assigned accounts receivable.

Section 7.11

Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated: (a) at any time prior to the Closing by mutual agreement of all parties hereto; (b) by the Seller, if (i) any representation or warranty of the Buyer is materially false when made or on the Closing Date or if the Buyer shall have failed to perform or comply in any material respect with any of its covenants or agreements set forth herein, and any such breach shall have continued without cure for a period of five (5) days following written notice thereof from Seller;  (c) by the Buyer, at its sole discretion, (i) if any representation or warranty of Seller is materially false when made or on the Closing Date, or if Seller shall have failed to perform or comply in any material respect with any of its covenants and agreements set forth herein and any such failure shall have continued without cure (which only may include an amendment to the Disclosure Schedules with Buyers consent at its sole discretion) for a period of five (5) days following written notice thereof from Buyer; (ii) if Buyer is not satisfied, in the exercise of commercially-reasonable discretion, with the results of its due diligence; or (iii) if Buyer determines that any Material Adverse Effect occurs or is likely to occur; or (d) at the election of either Seller or the Buyer, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to August 31, 2002.  The provisions of Section 7.1 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section, and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement or otherwise following such termination.

Section 7.12

Customers and Suppliers.  From the date hereof until Closing, Seller shall exert its best efforts to maintain good relationships with all of the vendors and customers of the Business and Copy Concepts and ensure that such parties will continue to do business with the Buyer after the Closing.  If Buyer requests before or after the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer or directly to the former customers or suppliers of the Business, as directed by Buyer, at Buyers expense, letters prepared by Seller to the satisfaction of Buyer and executed by Seller, pursuant to which Seller shall advise each addressee that the Assets have been sold to Buyer.

ARTICLE 8

NON-COMPETITION AND CONFIDENTIALITY



For the purposes of Article 8, Business also includes Copy Concepts.  For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller and the Shareholders and their affiliates shall not directly or indirectly, own, manage, assist, work for, sell for, operate, join, advise, control, lease to, construct or otherwise engage or participate in or be connected as a partner, guarantor, advisor, joint venturer, subcontractor, consultant, lessor, independent contractor or otherwise in any business or activity that: (i) develops, sells or licenses print-related software or web-based tools to print on demand or printing services providers; (ii) provides document-related consulting services to a potential competitor of the Business; or (iii) makes acquisitions of other entities that use print on demand as a material competency, in all cases (i) - (iii) within the continental United States, Mexico and Canada.  In the same geographic area and for the same time period, Seller and the Shareholders shall not render any business or service to any competitor of the Business or disclose to any person any business information regarding the Business, or solicit the employment of or hire any Buyer, Sub or Copy Concepts employees.  Seller and the Shareholders shall keep confidential all proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how or data (including hereunder written customer lists and operations manuals) which are not generally known to the public or recognized as standard practice and shall not communicate or divulge any such information, trade secrets, know-how or data to any person, firm or corporation, other than to Buyer hereunder or to persons, firms or corporations designated by Buyer, or use any such information, trade secrets, know-how or data for its or their own account.  For the same period, Seller and the Shareholders shall not register, secure or use any names or marks confusingly similar to those sold hereunder.  Seller and the Shareholders acknowledge that this Section constitutes an independent covenant that survives and shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this or any other agreement. Seller and the Shareholders acknowledge that any breach of the terms, conditions or covenants set forth in this Section would be competitively unfair and may cause irreparable damage to Buyer and that a recovery of damages at law would not be an adequate remedy.  Accordingly, for any breach by Seller or any of the Shareholders of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Section, Seller and the Shareholders hereby consent to a restraining order and/or an injunction without the posting of bond, in addition to any other legal or equitable rights or remedies Buyer may have. This Section has been specifically bargained for as part of the transaction contemplated herein so that Buyer may operate the Business free from competition.
