Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any contract, or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach thereof or in any way affect the rights of Purchaser or Seller thereunder.  If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights of Seller thereunder so that Purchaser would not in fact receive all such rights, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in any arrangement designed to provide for Purchaser the benefits under any of such contracts, including, without limitation, enforcement for the benefit of Purchaser of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation by such third party or otherwise; and any transfer or assignment to Purchaser by Seller of any contract which shall require the consent or approval of any third party, shall be made subject to such consent or approval being obtained.

ARTICLE VIII.





SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION




     Section 8.1     
Survival of Covenants, Representations and Warranties. All covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall forever survive and remain in effect following the Closing Date.




     Section 8.2     
Indemnity Against Claims. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser and its respective officers and directors (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against the following:




          (a)   
Any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, taxes and expenses of Seller of any nature, whether absolute, contingent or otherwise, which are not expressly assumed by the Purchaser as herein provided;




          (b)   
Any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and reasonable expenses suffered by the Indemnified Parties (whether awarded against the Indemnified Parties or paid by the Indemnified Parties in settlement of a claim as or otherwise suffered), resulting from any misrepresentation, breach of any warranty, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any written statement, attachment, schedule, exhibit or certificate furnished or to be furnished by Seller to Purchaser pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and




          (c)   
Any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments or judgments, costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incident to any of the foregoing.




     Section 8.3     
Notice of Claim, Assumption of Defense and Settlement of Claims.




          (a)   
An Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) in accordance with Section 12.1 hereof to the Designated Representative after the Indemnified Party has knowledge of any demands, claims, actions or causes of action (singly, a “Claim” and hereinafter referred to collectively, as “Claims”, which term includes “Infringement Claims”, as hereinafter defined) which might give rise to a Claim by the Indemnified Party against the Seller, stating the nature and basis of said Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known.  A failure to give notice hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from any obligation hereunder unless such failure to give notice shall materially and adversely affect Seller’s ability to defend the Claim.  The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Parties for the Damages for which the Indemnified Parties have not been indemnified.  In the event the amount of such Damages are not promptly reimbursed by Indemnitors as aforesaid, the amount of such unreimbursed Damages shall accrue interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum above the applicable prime rate of Citibank, N.A.




          (b)   
With respect to any third party Claims against the Indemnified Parties made subsequent to the Closing Date, the following procedures shall be observed:




             (i)
Promptly after delivery of an Indemnification Notice in respect of a Claim, the Seller may elect, by written notice to the Indemnified Parties, to undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and at the sole cost and expense of the Seller.  The Seller shall not, in the defense of such Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment (except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties) or enter into any settlement (except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Parties of a complete release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.





             (ii)
Failure by the Seller to notify the Indemnified Parties of its election to defend any Claim within 20 days after notice thereof shall have been given, shall be deemed a waiver by the Seller of its right to defend and settle such Claim.  The Indemnified Parties will then have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the account of the Seller and in such manner as they may deem appropriate, provided, however, that the Seller reimburse in full all costs of the Indemnified Parties (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by them in connection with such defense prior to such assumption; provided, further, however, that the Seller shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for the amount of any judgment with respect to such Claim.





ARTICLE IX.





CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION




     Section 9.1     
Confidentiality. At all times after the Closing Date, Seller shall retain in strictest confidence, and shall not use for its benefit or for the benefit of others all confidential information comprising or related to the Assets, including, without limitation, the technology, know-how, trade secrets, customer lists transferred hereby to Purchaser, pricing policies, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, or technical processes, designs and design projects respecting the Product.




     Section 9.2     
Non-Competition.




          (a)   
For a period of four (4) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller and its employees, agents or other affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in a business or enterprise (either as proprietor, partner, employee, agent, consultant, or controlling stockholder) in the development or marketing of any competing computer software (as defined in subsection (b) hereof) or (ii) solicit or attempt to solicit sales or licenses of any competing computer software, interfere with, or disrupt or attempt to disrupt the relationship (contractual or otherwise) between Purchaser and its customers, suppliers, agents, consultants, officers or employees relating to the Product.




          (b)   
The phrase “competing computer software” as used herein means any software product which has the same or substantially similar purpose as the Product and the marketing, licensing or sale of which would tend to inhibit licensing or marketing of the Product by Purchaser.




          (c)   
The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall not prevent Seller and its employees, agents and affiliates from investing in securities of any corporation, or otherwise acquiring an equity interest in any enterprise which is publicly owned and traded, provided that such investments or interests shall not result in (i) Seller owning beneficially, in the aggregate, 5% or more of the equity securities of any enterprise engaged in a business offering products competitive to the Product (a “competing business”) or (ii) Seller or any of its employees, agents and affiliates being able to control or actively participate in the policy decisions of such competing business.




          (d)   
In the event of a breach by Seller or any of its employees, agents and affiliates of the terms of this Section 9.2, then Purchaser’s obligation to pay any remaining Royalties on Gross Revenues collected by Purchaser on or after the first day of such breach shall terminate as of the first day of such breach (unless such breach was unknowing and unintentional) and Seller, shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless, in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof, from any and all losses and damages resulting to it therefrom, including, without limitation, remitting to Purchaser any profits generated by such competing business and/or such competing computer software during the period of time it was owned or marketed, as the case may be, by the Seller.




          (e)   
It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  If any particular provision or portion of this Section 9.2 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, this Section 9.2 shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of this subsection (e) in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.  Seller and its employees, agents and affiliates agree that it would be difficult to measure the damages to Purchaser from the breach by Seller of the provisions of this Section 9.2, that injury to Purchaser from such breach would be impossible to calculate, and that monetary damages would therefor be an inadequate remedy; accordingly, Seller agrees that Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies they might have, to injunctions or other appropriate orders to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damages.  Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Purchaser from pursuing any other remedies for such breach or threatened breach.




          (f)   
The undertakings and covenants of the Seller contained in this Section 9.2 are an integral part of the transactions set forth in this Agreement and the consideration paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be consideration not only for the Assets but also for such undertakings and covenants.




ARTICLE X.





SPECIAL COVENANTS




     Section 10.1     
Cooperation. The parties shall cooperate with each other fully with respect to actions required or requested to be undertaken with respect to tax audits, administrative actions or proceedings, litigation and any other matters that may occur after the Closing Date, and each party shall maintain and make available to the other party upon request all corporate, tax and other records required or requested in connection with such matters.




     Section 10.2     
Publicity. Subject to Purchaser’s obligations under applicable law, each of the parties hereto agrees that no publicity release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby or the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be issued without the advance approval of the form and substance thereof by Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.




     Section 10.3     
Accounts Receivable. Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the collection within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date of one hundred percent (100%) of the Accounts Receivable of Seller set forth on Exhibit F hereto and transferred as part of the Assets.  If less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Accounts Receivable are collected within that time, Purchaser shall so notify the Designated Representative, and Purchaser shall be entitled to set off against any remaining Royalties on Gross Revenues collected by Purchaser or Purchaser on or after the first day of such breach the amount of such Unpaid Accounts Receivable.  Unless otherwise specified by a customer, amounts received by Purchaser in respect of the Accounts Receivable shall be applied first to the customer’s oldest then outstanding receivable.




ARTICLE XI.

     Section 11.1     
Methods of Termination. The transactions contemplated herein may be terminated and/or abandoned at any time, but not later than the Closing:




          (a)

No party hereto who shall have satisfied in full all of the obligations of such party under this Agreement which were to have been satisfied by such party prior to the Closing and who shall have not breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such party contained in this Agreement shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party to this Agreement.
