Purchaser for the DataFlow Stock (the “Purchase Price”) shall consist of the following five elements: 
  
 2.1.1 Cash Portion. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall tender to the Shareholder cash (the “Cash Portion”)

Shareholder at that time. 
  
 2.1.3
Deposit Under ADS Escrow Agreement. At the Closing the Purchaser shall also deposit in a separate escrow account created pursuant to the ADS Escrow Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B (the “ADS Escrow

fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, and shall be equal to 50% of the Profit (as defined below) achieved by the Business (as defined below) during the period from February 1, 2004 through January 31, 2005. The second payment shall be due within 60

 If after the second payment described in the

shall pay the Shareholder additional consideration based on the Company’s Profit earned during the period between the beginning of the month in which the Effective Date occurs and the Effective Date. The pro-ration will be determined by
multiplying the Profit for the entire month in which the Effective Date occurs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the first of the month and the Effective Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in
that month. The Purchaser will calculate and pay any additional amounts due to the Shareholder pursuant to this Section 2.1.5 within ten days of the closing of accounts for the month in which the Effective Date occurs. 
  
 2.2 Definitions. 
  
 2.2.1 As used in this Agreement, the term

Closing. 
  
 2.2.2 As used in this
Agreement, the term “Net Assets” shall mean current assets (cash and receivables that are less than six months old) less all liabilities or obligations, either accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise including but not limited to

that for tax reporting purposes only, $20,000 of the Purchase Price shall constitute consideration to the Shareholder for the covenants of the Shareholder set forth in Section 6.2.1 below, and the remainder of the Purchase Price shall be
allocated to the purchase of the DataFlow Stock. Neither party shall take a position inconsistent with that allocation on its tax return(s) relating to the period in which the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the allocation of the

rights or rights of first refusal, and (iv) upon expiration of the Lock-Up Period will be freely tradable through the NASDAQ National Market System. No preemptive rights or rights of first refusal exist with respect to the issuance of the Trintech
Stock to the Shareholder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and no such rights arise by virtue of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 5.6 Accuracy of Information Furnished by the Purchaser. No representation contained herein or written statement made
or furnished by any officer of the Purchaser to the Company or the Shareholder in 

  

 18 








 
accordance with this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make such representation or statement
not misleading. 
  
 5.7 Reports and Financial Statements.
From July 31, 2003 until the date hereof, except where failure to have done so did not and would not have a material adverse effect on Trintech Group, Trintech Group has filed all reports, registrations and statements, together with any required
amendments thereto, that it was required to file with the SEC (collectively, the “Trintech Group Reports”). Trintech Group has previously furnished copies of the Trintech Group Reports to each of the Company and the Shareholder. As
of their respective dates (but taking into account any amendments filed prior to the date of this Agreement), the Trintech Group Reports complied in all material respects with all the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and did not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of
Trintech Group included in the Trintech Group Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with
United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles consistently applied during the periods presented (except as otherwise noted therein) and fairly present (subject, in case of unaudited statements, to normal audit adjustments) the financial
position of Trintech Group and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the date thereof and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods then ended. 
  
 5.8 No Material Adverse Change. Since the date of the latest Trintech Group Reports, there has not occurred with
respect to Trintech Group, any material change in its business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations excluding events that affected the economy or stock markets generally. 
  
 5.9 Effective Date and Closing Date. All of the representations and
warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Article V and elsewhere in this Agreement and all information delivered in any schedule, attachment or exhibit hereto or in any writing delivered to the Shareholder are true and correct on the
date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct on the Effective Date and the Closing Date, except to the extent that the Purchaser has advised the Shareholder otherwise in writing prior to the Closing. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
 CERTAIN ACTIONS AFTER THE CLOSING 
  
 6.1 Continued Employment of the Company’s Employees. Immediately
after the Closing, the Purchaser will cause the Company to offer employment to all persons currently employed by the Company who are listed on Schedule 6.1 and who wish to remain employees of the Company, at the same base salary and in the
same position as in effect prior to the Closing. 
  
 6.2
Restrictive Covenants. 
  
 6.2.1 To
assure that the Purchaser will realize the value and goodwill inherent in the DataFlow Stock, the Shareholder agrees that he shall not: 
  
 6.2.1.1 Directly or indirectly engage (as an owner, partner, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise) in any business engaged in
the Business in the State of Texas or in any county of any other state in the United States in which any client of the Company has managerial employees permanently stationed (the “Territory”), during the Restricted Period (as that
term is defined in the Employment Agreement); 
  
 6.2.1.2 Directly or indirectly, for a period of five years following the Closing Date, request or advise any individual or company that is a customer of the Company at the Closing Date to withdraw, curtail or cancel any such
customer’s business with the Company; or 
  
 6.2.1.3 Solicit or cause, directly or indirectly, to be solicited, or attempt to induce, for a period of five years after the Closing Date, any person employed by the Company at or at any time 

  

 19 








 
within 180 days prior to the Closing Date, unless such person either was not offered employment by the Company immediately following the Closing or was
terminated thereafter, (i) to refuse an offer of employment from the Company, or (ii) if such an offer is accepted, to terminate his or her employment with the Company. 
  
 6.2.2 The Shareholder agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 6.2.1
are reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary to protect the Purchaser after the Closing Date. If, however, any provision of Section 6.2.1, as applied to any party or to any circumstances, is adjudged by a court to be invalid or
unenforceable, the same will in no way affect any other provision of the said Section 6.2.1 or any other part of this Agreement, the application of such provision in any other circumstances, or the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement. If any such provision, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the scope of the restriction, the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination will
have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced. Upon breach of any provision of Section
6.2.1, the Purchaser will be entitled to injunctive relief, since the remedy at law would be inadequate and insufficient. In addition, the Purchaser will be entitled to such damages as it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach.

  
 6.3 Use of Name. The Shareholder agrees that after the
Closing he will not use the name “DataFlow Services, Inc” or “DataFlow Services” or “DataFlow” (either alone or together with other names or words) or license other people to use such name in connection with any
business. 
  
 6.4 Books and Records. Unless otherwise
consented to in writing by the Company or the Shareholder, the Purchaser will not, for a period of four years following the date hereof, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of the Company without first offering to
surrender to the Shareholder such books and records or any portion thereof of that the Purchaser may intend to dispose of, destroy or alter. The Purchaser will allow the Shareholder and his representatives, attorneys and accountants access to such
books and records, upon reasonable request for access during such party’s normal business hours, for the purpose of examining and copying the same in connection with any matter whether or not related to or arising out of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 6.5 Post-Closing
Financial Reporting by the Purchaser; Post-Closing Operation of the Business. The Purchaser shall integrate the accounting and reporting of the Company’s business through its Oracle accounting system as soon as is reasonably practicable
after the Closing, and shall assume the costs associated with its Oracle accounting system. Also, all human resources functions of the Company will be transferred to the Purchaser. Each month thereafter during the period of the earn-out payments
discussed in Section 2.1.4 above the Purchaser shall report to the Shareholder the financial performance of the Company’s business combined with the Purchaser’s existing statement delivery business (i.e., the Business), as a
separate business unit of the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall produce such reports on a pre-tax basis and shall circulate such reports within five business days after the end of each calendar month. 
  
 In keeping with other business units of the Purchaser, the accounts for the
Company’s business will be prepared on the basis of United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles consistently applied, and will include the revenue generated by the statement delivery businesses of the Purchaser and all legal entities
owned by it that are engaged in the statement delivery business. 
  
 In integrating the statement delivery businesses of the Company and the Purchaser, the parties agree that their joint goal is to select the best practices of each party, including the operational systems and procedures for the post-Closing
joint operation of the Business that achieves maximum ease of use, flexibility, performance, and profitability for the Business, and accuracy (and supportability) of reporting to the customers of the Business.

 ARTICLE VII 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 7.1 Agreements to Indemnify. As used in this Agreement, the term “Indemnifiable Damages,” when referring to damages for which the Purchaser Parties (defined below) are entitled to
indemnification hereunder, means, without duplication, the aggregate of all expenses, losses, costs, deficiencies, liabilities and damages (including reasonable counsel and paralegal fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by the Purchaser Parties,
on a pre-tax basis, net of any insurance recoveries, to the extent resulting from (i) any breach by the Shareholder or the Company of any representation or warranty made by the Shareholder or the Company in this Agreement (a “Shareholder
Breach of Warranty Claim”); (ii) any violation by the Shareholder or the Company of any covenant or agreement made by the Shareholder or the Company in this Agreement (unless waived in writing by the Purchaser Party making the claim); or
(iii) as a result of any of the following items (in each case regardless of any disclosure made by the Shareholder or the Company on the disclosure schedules attached hereto): (I) any income, sales or other taxes payable by the Company prior to or
as of the Closing Date that are not included in the calculation of Net Assets, including, in each case, any interest or penalties related thereto; (II) any liability related to any toxic material or hazardous substance (including any clean-up or
other remedial action related thereto) that arises out of or results from any act or omission by the Company prior to the Closing or any state of facts existing on or prior to the Closing Date; (III) any liability under any 401(k) or other employee
benefit plan, including related taxes, contributions and all other liabilities and expenses related thereto; (IV) any liability under any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company existing immediately prior to the Closing; (V) any liability for
any violation of any law, statute, rule or regulation by the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents prior to the Closing; and (VI) any liability or cost incurred in connection with personnel adjustments made by the Company
prior to the Closing as mutually agreed by the parties pursuant to Section 3.5(j). 
  
 As used in this Agreement, “Indemnifiable Damages,” when referring to damages for which the Shareholder Parties (defined below) are entitled to indemnification hereunder, means, without duplication,
the aggregate of all expenses, losses, costs, deficiencies, liabilities and damages (including reasonable counsel and paralegal fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by the Shareholder Parties, on a pre-tax basis, to the extent resulting from (i)
any breach by the Purchaser of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in this Agreement (a “Purchaser Breach of Warranty Claim”); (ii) any violation by the Purchaser of any covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser
in this Agreement (unless waived in writing by the Shareholder Party making the claim). 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnifiable Damages shall not include consequential, incidental or indirect damages. 
  
 7.1.1 Subject to the limitations provided for herein, the Shareholder shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its officers,
directors, employees, shareholders, agents, successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Parties”) harmless in respect of all Indemnifiable Damages suffered by them. 
  
 7.1.2 The Purchaser shall indemnify the Shareholder and his agents, heirs, successors and assigns
(collectively, the “Shareholders Parties”) and hold each of them harmless in respect of all Indemnifiable Damages suffered by them. 
  
 7.1.3 Each of the representations and warranties made by the parties in this Agreement shall survive for a period of 24 months
after the Closing Date, notwithstanding any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any party, and upon the expiration of such 24-month period such representations and warranties shall expire except as follows: 
  
 (a) The representations and warranties of the Company and
the Shareholder contained in Sections 4.6 [Tax Matters] and 4.20 [Employee Benefits] shall expire at the time the period of limitations expires for the assessment by the taxing authority of additional taxes with respect to which the
representations and warranties relate; 
  

 21 








 (b) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Shareholder contained in
Sections 4.17 [Compliance with Laws] and 4.18 [Environmental Matters] shall expire at the time the latest period of limitations expires for the enforcement by an applicable governmental authority of any remedy with respect to which the
particular representation or warranty relates; 
  
 (c) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Shareholder contained in Section 4.3 [Records of the Company] and 4.32 [Common Stock and Related Matters] and the representations and warranties of the Purchaser
contained in Section 5.2 [Due Authorization; Binding Obligation; No Conflicts] shall survive for a period of 60 months after the Closing Date; and 
  
 (d) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Shareholder contained in Sections 4.1 [Organization; Power and
Authority; Subsidiaries], 4.2 [Capitalization], 4.8 [Good Title to and Condition of Assets] and 4.26 [Title to DataFlow Stock], and the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in Sections 5.1
[Organization, Power and Authority] shall survive indefinitely. 
  
 No claim for the recovery of Indemnifiable Damages based upon a Shareholder Breach of Warranty Claim or a Purchaser Breach of Warranty Claim may be asserted by any party against the other party after such representations and warranties
shall thus expire; provided, however, that good faith claims for Indemnifiable Damages first asserted in writing by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) as provided in Section 7.2 within the applicable
period shall not thereafter be barred. 
  
 7.1.4 The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that prior to proceeding directly against the Shareholder for indemnification hereunder, it will proceed against the Hold-Back Amount; provided, however, that upon either the
exhaustion of the Hold-Back Amount or after the release thereof in accordance with the terms of Section 7.3, the Purchaser may thereupon seek to recover by any legal means Indemnifiable Damages directly from the Shareholder. 
  
 7.1.5 Anything in this Section 7.1 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Shareholder shall not be liable to the Purchaser Parties for any claim for Indemnifiable Damages unless all Indemnifiable Damages exceed an aggregate deductible amount of $30,000, in which case the Shareholder shall
then be liable for all Indemnifiable Damages above such $30,000 deductible amount. 
  
 7.2 Settlement of Claims. 
  
 7.2.1 The party or parties seeking indemnification under Section 7.1 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the other party or
parties, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly after receiving notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it (if by a third party) or discovering the liability, obligation or
facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification; provided that (i) the failure to provide the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or his obligations hereunder except to the extent
such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party, and (ii) in any event the Indemnified Party shall give such Claim Notice within the period specified in the relevant item of Section 7.1.3. In such Claim Notice the Indemnified Party
shall describe the claim and the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and shall specify in detail the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto. Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, (x) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
participate in the defense of the action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and (y) subject to the limitations set forth
below, if the Indemnifying Party gives the Indemnified Party notice of its election to assume control of such defense within 10 days after receiving the applicable Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to appoint lead counsel for
such defense with reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and to assume 

  

 22 








 
control of such defense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party timely elects to assume control of such defense, it shall: 
  
 (a) Be fully responsible for all Indemnifiable Damages
relating to such claims and it will provide full indemnification to the Indemnified Party for all such Indemnifiable Damages relating to such claim; 
  
 (b) Unconditionally guarantee the payment and performance of any liability or obligation that may arise with respect to such claim or the
facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification; and 
  
 (c) Furnish the Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnifying Party is and will be able to satisfy any such liability; 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense and shall
pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if the claim of which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (i) seeks non-monetary relief, (ii) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations solely against the
Indemnified Party, (iii) involves a claim as to which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination would materially injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects, or (iv) involves a claim the
Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Party, which opinion is expressed by such counsel in writing and is provided to the Indemnifying Party.

  
 If the Indemnifying Party is permitted to
assume and control the defense and elects to do so, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has
been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. 
  
 If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunction or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party
or if such settlement does not expressly unconditionally and irrevocably release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, with prejudice. 
  
 7.2.2 The Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds (in U.S.
Dollars) promptly after the Indemnified Party provides the Indemnifying Party with written notice of a claim hereunder and the Parties reasonably agree that there is a reasonable basis for such claim. 
  
 7.3 Security for Indemnification Claims by the Purchaser Parties.

  
 7.3.1 The Purchaser may set off
against the Hold-Back Amount any Indemnifiable Damages for which the Shareholder is responsible under Section 7.1, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.3. 
  
 7.3.2 The amount of Indemnifiable Damages to be set
off against the Hold-Back Amount (the “Set Off Amount”) shall be (x) the full amount of the claim made in the applicable Claim Notice if the Shareholder either agreed to such amount or failed to respond to such Claim Notice in
writing within ten business days from the date of such Claim Notice (the “Contest Period”) or (y) if such claim is contested by the Shareholder prior to the end of the Contest Period, the amount of the claim that is either agreed to
by the parties or the amount of any final, non-appealable judgment on such claim, in each case together with 

  

 23 








 
interest, if any, included in the judgment from the date on which the Set Off Amount is finally determined through the date of payment. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII

 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: 
  
 (a) By mutual written consent of the Shareholder and the Purchaser; 
  
 (b) By the Shareholder or the Purchaser if there has been a
material misrepresentation or breach on the part of the other party of the representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement or if events have occurred that have made it impossible to satisfy a condition precedent to the
terminating party’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby unless such terminating party’s willful or knowing breach of this Agreement has caused the condition to be unsatisfied; or 
  
 (c) Automatically if the Closing has not occurred on or
prior to Monday, December 1, 2003. 
  
 8.2 Effect of
Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party to any other Party under this Agreement, except
