conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered, and the Assumed Liabilities shall be assumed, pursuant to transfer and assumption agreements, deeds, endorsements, consents or other instruments in such form as is necessary to effect a conveyance of

executed (upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof) on the Closing Date by the Company and/or its applicable Subsidiaries and the Buyer and/or the applicable Designated Purchaser, and such other conveyance and assumption documents as may
be required in such jurisdictions. 
  
 2.4 Procedures for
Assets Not Transferable/Shared Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery or attempted sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or
delivery to the Buyer or the applicable Designated Purchaser of any Transferred Asset is prohibited by applicable Law or would require any governmental or third-party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers (collectively,
“Consents”) or would constitute a breach or would in any way adversely affect the rights of the Buyer or any Designated Purchaser or the Sellers to any Transferred Asset, each of the Company and the Buyer shall use its, and shall
cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use their respective, reasonable best efforts to obtain such Consents prior to the Closing and if any such Consents shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute an
agreement to sell, convey, transfer, assign or deliver (or a sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery of) such Transferred Asset if any of the foregoing would constitute a breach of applicable Law or the rights of any third party;
provided, however, that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing on the terms set forth herein; and provided further,
however, that the Company shall not be relieved of its obligation to sell, and the Buyer of its obligation to purchase, such Transferred Assets. Following the Closing, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts and shall cooperate
with each other to obtain promptly such Consents and novations or other mutually acceptable arrangement with respect to the Shared Contracts splitting the rights and obligations of the parties thereto between the Business and the other businesses of
the Company and its Subsidiaries. Pending or in the absence of such Consents, the parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (including assisting each other in arranging meetings with the counterparty to the Shared Contracts to
discuss such novation or other mutually acceptable arrangement) to implement an alternative arrangement to permit the Buyer or the applicable Designated Purchaser, as the case may be, to realize, receive and enjoy substantially similar rights and
the full benefits of such Transferred Assets and Shared Contracts and to be responsible for the Assumed Liabilities related thereto as if such impediment to assignment, transfer or novation did not exist, and to enable the Buyer or the applicable
Designated Purchaser, as the case may be, to conduct the Business until such Consent, novation or mutually acceptable arrangement is obtained; provided, however, that after Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries
to, enforce, upon and at the request of the Buyer and for the benefit of the Buyer, any rights of the Company or its Subsidiaries arising with respect to third parties or under such Shared Contracts. If such Consent is obtained, the Company shall,
and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly convey, transfer, assign and deliver, or cause to be conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered, such Transferred Asset to the Buyer or such Designated Purchaser. The provisions of this Section
2.4 shall not in any way limit the Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that the conditions to Closing are not satisfied. 
  

 14 

 
The Company and its Subsidiaries agree that they will not, without the Buyer’s consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, amend, consent to amend
or otherwise alter (including granting a waiver) a Shared Contract if the effect thereof would in any manner alter the Buyer’s rights or obligations with respect thereto. 
  
 2.5 Payments Post-Closing. 
  

(a) If, following the Closing Date, the Company or any of its Affiliates receives any payment or other proceeds (including the benefit of a mistaken
payment) relating to any Transferred Assets or otherwise relating to the conduct or operation of the Business, including with respect to any Receivables purchased by the Buyer in the Acquisition or a Shared Contract, the Company shall, and shall
cause its Affiliates to, promptly remit to the Buyer the amount of any such payments to the extent relating to the Transferred Assets. 
  
 (b) If, following the Closing Date, the Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives any payment or other proceeds (including the benefit of a mistaken
payment) relating to any Excluded Assets or otherwise relating to the conduct or operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries other than the Business (including pursuant to a Shared Contract), the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to,
promptly remit to the Company the amount of any such payments to the extent relating to the Excluded Assets or such other business. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 PURCHASE PRICE AND ADJUSTMENTS 
  
 3.1 Purchase Price. Subject to any adjustments required pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, the aggregate purchase price for the
Transferred Assets shall be an amount equal to Ninety Six Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($96,600,000) minus the DRC Adjustment Amount (the “Purchase Price”), payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
an account or accounts designated by the Company, Irish Sub or UK Sub in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing. 
  
 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price and Estimated Purchase Price Adjustment. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the
Company shall deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement”) setting forth the Company’s reasonable good faith estimate (the “Preliminary Closing Date Net Working
Capital”) of (i) the sum of (x) Receivables, net of applicable reserves, (y) prepaid expenses of the Business, and (z) other current assets of the Business, minus (ii) the sum of (x) accounts payable of the Business, (y) accrued
compensation of the Business, and (z) other current liabilities of the Business (other than deferred revenue), in each case, calculated as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”) in accordance with the
accounting principles and methodologies (including GAAP) employed by the Company in preparing the Business Balance Sheet and those set forth on Schedule 3.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule consistently applied, which shall be certified by
the Company’s chief financial officer. The Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation. The Buyer shall have the right to review the calculation of the 
  

 15 

 
Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and such supporting documentation or data of the Company as the Buyer may reasonably request. In the
event that the Buyer does not agree with the Company’s estimate, the Company and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to mutually agree on an acceptable estimate of the Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, and the Company
shall consider in good faith any proposed comments or changes that the Buyer may reasonably suggest; provided, however, that the Company’s failure to include in the Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement any
changes proposed by the Buyer, or the acceptance by the Buyer of the Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, shall not limit or otherwise affect the Buyer’s remedies under this Agreement, including the Buyer’s right to
include such changes or other changes in the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, or constitute an acknowledgment by the Buyer of the accuracy of the Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement. At the Closing, the amount of the
Purchase Price that the Buyer shall be required to pay to the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be adjusted (the “Preliminary Deviation”)as follows: 
  
 (i) if the Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital is within the Working Capital Collar Range, there
shall be no adjustment to the amount of the Purchase Price paid by the Buyer to the Company at Closing; 
  
 (ii) if the Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than the Lower Limit, the amount of the Purchase Price paid by the Buyer
to the Company at Closing shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall; and 
  
 (iii) if the Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than the Upper Limit, the amount of the Purchase Price paid by the
Buyer to the Company at Closing shall be increased by the amount of such excess. 
  
 3.3 Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement; Purchase Price Adjustment. 
  
 (a) No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Company (i) a balance sheet of the Business as of the
Closing Date, which balance sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and methodologies employed by the Company in preparing the Business Balance Sheet (including GAAP) and those set forth on Schedule 3.2 of the
Company Disclosure Schedule consistently applied (the “Closing Statement”), and (ii) a statement of the actual Closing Date Net Working Capital (such statement, as finally determined pursuant to the provisions of this Section
3.3, the “Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement”) which Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and methodologies (including GAAP) employed by the Company in
preparing the Business Balance Sheet and those set forth on Schedule 3.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule consistently applied, and derived from the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement and the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement
shall be certified by the Buyer’s Chief Financial Officer. The Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation. The Company shall and shall cause its accountants to cooperate with the Buyer
and its accountants to the extent required to enable the Buyer to prepare the Closing Statement and the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement in accordance with this Agreement. 
  

 16 

 (b) The Company may dispute the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and the Closing Statement by
notifying the Buyer within thirty (30) days after its receipt thereof. During the 30-day period after delivery of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and the Closing Statement, and until the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement is
finally determined, employees of the Company and its accountants shall be entitled to access the Buyer’s and its accountants’ work papers prepared in connection with the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and the Closing Statement
and shall be entitled to review and discuss such work papers with the Buyer and its accountants. Any notice delivered in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. If the
Company does not so notify the Buyer within such period, the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and the Closing Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If the Company does so notify the Buyer, the Company and the
Buyer and their respective accountants shall attempt in good faith to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be set forth in writing and be final, binding and conclusive on the parties thereto.

  
 (c) If the Buyer and the Company are unable to reach a
resolution with respect to all of the items specified in a notice provided pursuant to Section 3.3(b) within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Buyer of such notice, then either party may submit the items remaining in dispute for
resolution to KPMG LLP or any other accounting firm or professional who the Company and Buyer mutually designate (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall, within twenty (20) days after such submission or such longer period
as the Independent Accounting Firm may reasonably require, determine and report to the Buyer and the Company upon such remaining disputed items, and such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. The fees and
disbursements of the Independent Accountant Firm shall be allocated between the Company and the Buyer in such manner that the Company shall be responsible for that portion of the fees and expenses equal to such fees and expenses multiplied by a
fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate dollar value of disputed items submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that are resolved against the Company (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) and the denominator of
which is the total dollar value of the disputed items so submitted, and the Buyer shall be responsible for the remainder of such fees and expenses. 
  
 (d) Following the determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Company shall pay the Buyer, or the Buyer
shall pay the Company, as appropriate, an amount such that the Buyer or the Company, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the amount that it would have received under Section 3.2 if the Preliminary Closing Date Net Working Capital had
equaled exactly the Closing Date Net Working Capital. All payments to be made by the Buyer or the Company under this Section 3.3(d) may be made on a net basis taking into account payments received under Section 3.2 or to be received by
the Company or the Buyer, and shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Net Working Capital shall become final, conclusive and binding. Any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.3(d), shall be treated
for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. 
  

 17 

 3.4 Allocation of Purchase Price. 
  
 (a) The Buyer and the Company agree to allocate the Purchase Price (and any Liabilities assumed hereunder that are properly
treated as purchase price) in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Such allocation shall be mutually agreed upon between the parties. Prior to Closing the Buyer and the Company
shall negotiate in good faith the principles pursuant to which the Purchase Price allocation shall be made, including, specifically, the appropriate portion of the Purchase Price to be allocated to Irish Sub and the UK Sub. The Buyer and the Company
recognize that the Purchase Price does not include the Buyer’s acquisition expenses and that the Buyer shall allocate such expenses appropriately. The Buyer and the Company agree to act in accordance with the computations and allocations as
determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 in any relevant Tax Returns or filings, including any forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or any provisions of
local, state and foreign Law (“1060 Forms”), and to cooperate in the preparation of any 1060 Forms and to file such 1060 Forms in the manner required by applicable Law. Any issues with respect to the allocation which have not been
finally resolved within 60 days following Closing shall be referred to the Independent Accounting Firm and resolved in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 3.3(c). 
  
 (b) If an adjustment is made with respect to the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 3.3, the agreed
allocation shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and as mutually agreed by the Buyer and the Company. The Buyer and the Company agree to file any additional information return required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of
the Code and to treat the Allocation Statement as adjusted in the manner described in Section 3.4(a).

Schedule sets forth all Receivables as of January 31, 2005, together with a range of days elapsed since invoice. All of the Receivables reflected on Schedule 4.1(x)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule or arising thereafter constitute valid

 34

transfer of the goodwill and other intangible assets contemplated hereby. In the event that any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.5 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever, then any such provision or provisions shall not be deemed void, and the parties hereto agree that said limits may be modified by the court and that said covenant contained in this Section 5.5 shall be amended in accordance with
said modification, it being specifically agreed by the parties that it is their continuing desire that this covenant be enforced to the full extent of its terms and conditions or if a court finds the scope of the covenant unenforceable, the court
should redefine the covenant so as to comply with applicable Law.

accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all reasonable actions necessary to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article VIII hereof to be satisfied, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents,
approvals, orders and authorizations from any Governmental Authority and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with any Governmental Authority, if any) and the taking
of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid any Proceeding by any Governmental Authority, (iii) the obtaining of all consents, approvals or waivers from third parties required as a result of the Acquisition and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) the execution, acknowledgment or delivery of all such deeds, endorsements, Consents, instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery and other documents and instruments as the Buyer and/or the
applicable Designated Purchaser may reasonably request in order to carry out the purpose and intention of this Agreement, including to consummate more effectively the purchase, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery of the Transferred
Assets as contemplated by this Agreement, to vest in the Buyer and/or the applicable Designated 

  

 42 

 
Purchaser good right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets or to enable the Buyer and/or the applicable Designated Purchaser to
protect, exercise and enjoy all rights and benefits of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to Closing with respect thereto, and as otherwise appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fully carry out the
purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) In the event that any
Proceeding or Order is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private party challenging the Acquisition or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, (i) each
of the Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate in all respects with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Proceeding or Order and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any
decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) each of the Buyer, the
Company and its Subsidiaries shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to defend, at its own cost and expense, any action or actions, whether judicial or administrative, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the parties hereto or their Affiliates (x) to agree to any divestiture of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, or the
imposition of any material limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their business or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock, or (y) to take any action under this Section 5.6(b) requested by any
Governmental Authority that has the authority to enforce any Antitrust Law, that seeks, or authorizes its staff to seek, a preliminary injunction or restraining order to enjoin consummation of the Acquisition or any of the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (c) In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, and subject to Section 5.6(b) hereof, each of the Buyer and the Company shall (i) promptly make such filings under such foreign Antitrust Laws as the parties reasonably agree are necessary, and (ii) make an
appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as
practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon
as practicable. The Buyer shall be entitled to direct any proceedings or negotiations with any Governmental Authority relating to any of the foregoing, provided, that the Buyer shall afford the Company a reasonable opportunity to participate
therein. 
  
 (d) The Company shall and shall cause its officers,
employees and accountants to provide such information (including auditor’s work papers), consents and financial statements of the type that would be reasonably necessary to allow the Buyer or any of its Affiliates to prepare financial
statements as may be required under Regulation S-X in connection with any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
  

 43 

 5.7 Public Announcements. None of the parties to this Agreement or their Affiliates shall make, or
cause to be made, any press release or public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media with respect thereto without the prior written consent of the other party,
and the parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release or public announcement; provided, however, that such prior written consent (i) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii)
shall not be required for releases, announcements or communications to the extent obtaining such prior written consent would prevent the timely and accurate dissemination of information as required to comply with any applicable Law or Nasdaq
requirements. 
  
 5.8 Employee Benefits. 
  
 (a) The Buyer shall, or shall cause a Designated Purchaser to, offer
employment to each Current Business Employee who is employed in the Business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date on an “at-will” basis and at a wage and salary level (excluding performance-based or incentive compensation,
bonuses and equity-based compensation) that is the same as that provided to such Current Business Employees on the day preceding the Closing Date; provided that each offer to a Non-US Employee shall be an offer at such compensation and
benefit levels as required by applicable local law or regulation and as to not constitute a constructive dismissal. Each such offer that is made to a Current Business Employee who is actively employed in the Business on the day immediately preceding
the Closing Date shall be an offer to commence employment on the Closing Date. Each such offer that is made to a Current Business Employee who is not actively at work with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries due to a short- or long-term
disability leave or other leave of absence (but not including vacation), will be deemed to offer employment with Buyer or Designated Purchaser, as applicable, effective as of the date such Current Business Employee is willing and able to return to
active work status (the “Start Date”); provided that in no event will the Buyer or any Designated Purchaser be obligated to offer a Start Date that is later than six months after the Closing Date. Such Current Business
Employees who accept and commence employment with the Buyer or a Designated Purchaser as of the Closing Date or Start Date, as applicable, shall be referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” With respect to the Liabilities relating
to the Current Business Employees and arising out of the Company Plans, the Buyer shall, as of the Closing Date, assume only (i) those Liabilities reflected on the Business Balance Sheet or constituting accrued compensation described in Sections
2.2(a)(ii) or (iii) of this Agreement and that are directly related to such Current Business Employees’ employment with the Business, and (ii) the Change in Control Agreements set forth on Schedule 2.2(a)(iv) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule to the extent that any Liabilities related to such Change in Control Agreements are attributable to a termination of employment with the Buyer or a Designated Purchaser following the Closing. The Buyer shall not assume any other
Liabilities (other than Assumed Liabilities) relating to any Business Employee, including any Liabilities arising (whether under applicable Law or otherwise) from or relating to the employment or termination of employment of any Business Employee on
or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall promptly notify the Buyer if any Business Employee employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries either (i) commences a short- or long-term disability leave or other leave of absence (but not
including vacation) during the period of time commencing with the date of this Agreement and ending on the Closing Date, or (ii) returns to active employment from any such leave. 
  

 44 

 (b) From and after the Closing Date or, if later, the Start Date of the Transferred Employee, as
applicable, until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer or a Designated Purchaser shall provide the Transferred Employees, for so long as such Transferred Employees remain so employed during such time, health and welfare benefits
which are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to such Transferred Employees on the day preceding the Closing Date or are otherwise substantially competitive with those provided by companies similarly situated with the
Business. As provided above, the Buyer will assume all accrued and unpaid vacation time to the extent reflected in the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement with respect to each employee who is a U.S. Employee located in Oregon and will not
reduce any such employee’s accrued vacation. Upon a termination of employment by the Buyer or any Designated Purchaser of any Transferred Employee within 12 months after the Closing Date, the Buyer or the Designated Purchaser, as applicable,
shall provide to such employee severance benefits not materially less favorable than those under the Company’s severance plan identified on Section 5.8(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule as such plan is in effect on the date of this
Agreement and on the terms of such Plan as previously provided to the Buyer; provided that (i) the employee would have been entitled to such benefits under the terms of that plan had he or she actually been a participant in that plan, (ii)
the Buyer or Designated Purchaser, as applicable, may condition any such benefits upon its receipt of a release of claims from such employee in a form satisfactory to the Buyer or Designated Purchaser, (iii) in no event will an employee be entitled
to benefits under more than one such severance plan, and (iv) in no event will an employee be entitled to benefits under such a severance plan if the employee is also a party to one of the Change in Control Agreements set forth on Schedule
2.2(a)(iv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. 
  
 (c) From
and after the Closing Date or, if later, the Start Date of the Transferred Employee, as applicable, the Buyer shall, or shall cause a Designated Purchaser to, recognize the prior service with the Company or its Subsidiaries of each Transferred
Employee in connection with all employee benefit plans, programs or policies (including vacation) of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which any Transferred Employees are eligible to participate following the Closing Date for purposes of
eligibility, vesting and levels of vacation and severance benefits (but not for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan, whether or not qualified under the Code, or any similar plan, or to the extent that such recognition
would result in duplication of benefits). From and after the Closing Date or, if later, the Start Date of the Transferred Employee, as applicable, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law and/or applicable insurance providers, the Buyer will,
or will cause the applicable Designated Purchaser to, cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods (to the extent that such waiting periods would be inapplicable, taking into account service with the Company and
any of its Affiliates), under any group health plans of the Buyer or its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees are otherwise to become eligible to participate in after the Closing Date, to be waived with respect to Transferred Employees and
their eligible dependents. The Buyer shall, or shall cause the applicable Designated Purchaser to, give each Transferred Employee credit for any deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits for medical expenses paid during the applicable plan year in
which the Closing occurs under any welfare plans maintained or contributed to by the Company or any of the Business Subsidiaries prior to the Closing in satisfying any deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits for medical expenses for the same
plan year under any welfare plans maintained or contributed to by the Buyer or its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees participate during such year. 
  

 45 

 (d) Except as required by applicable Law, as of the Closing Date or, if later, the Start Date of the
Transferred Employee, as applicable, the Transferred Employees shall cease to accrue further benefits under the employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by the Company and its Affiliates (the “Seller Plans”). From and
after the Closing Date, the Company will retain all obligations and liabilities under the Company Plans (including, without limitation any 401(k) Plan, except as expressly contemplated by Section 5.8(e) herein), and neither the Buyer nor any
of its Affiliates will have any obligation or liability with respect thereto, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.8(a) and Section 5.8(e). The Buyer will not contribute to any of the Company Plans. Except as expressly
contemplated by Section 5.8(e) herein, the Buyer will not assume sponsorship or any liability with respect to any of the Company Plans or any part thereof. Except as expressly contemplated by Section 5.8(e) herein and by Section
5.8(f) herein, no Company Plan and no assets of any Company Plan will be transferred to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or to any plan of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates. 
  
 (e) As soon as administratively feasible following the Closing, the Company shall cause all assets attributable to the
Business Employees who become employed by the Buyer on the Closing Date in any 401(k) Plan sponsored or maintained by the Company (a “Company 401(k) Plan”), which Buyer Plan must provide account services through Fidelity Investments
or one of its Affiliates), to be liquidated in anticipation of a transfer of such assets (a “Plan-to-Plan Transfer”) to a 401(k) Plan sponsored by the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”).
Any outstanding loan balances under a Company 401(k) Plan attributable to any such employee shall not be liquidated. On the Closing Date, the Company shall provide the Buyer a list of any such loans (including the date, outstanding balance, interest
rate and payment schedule of any such loan), such loans shall be transferred to the Buyer 401(k) Plan immediately upon the Closing, and any payments on such loans due after the Closing Date shall be made to the Buyer 401(k) Plan. As soon as
administratively feasible (but in no event later than three business days following the foregoing liquidation of assets), the Company shall cause the Company 401(k) Plan to transfer the cash resulting from such liquidation to the Buyer 401(k) Plan,
and the Buyer shall cause the Buyer 401(k) Plan to accept such transfer. The Buyer and the Company shall take such other and further action as may be necessary or appropriate (including the adoption of necessary or appropriate plan amendments) to
accomplish the Plan-to-Plan Transfer in a timely manner, consistent with the relevant requirements of Section 414(l) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
  

(f) As soon as administratively feasible following the Closing (or as to any Transferred Employee who becomes employed by the Buyer or the Designated
Purchaser on a Start Date, as soon as administratively feasible after such Start Date), the Company shall cause all assets attributable to the Business Employees who become employed by the Buyer on the Closing Date or any such Start Date, as
applicable, in any flexible spending arrangement as part of a plan qualified under Section 125 of the Code maintained by the Company to be transferred to a similar plan maintained by the Buyer or the Designated Purchaser. 
  
 5.9 Insurance. To the extent that any insurance policies or binders
cover any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense relating to the Business (other than the Excluded Assets), the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities and relating to or arising out of occurrences or wrongful acts prior to the Closing Date
and such policies continue after the Closing Date to permit claims to be made thereunder with respect to such occurrences or acts 
  

 46 

 prior to the Closing Date, the Company and its Affiliates shall cooperate with the Buyer and its Affiliates to submit any
such claims, including filing and furnishing required notices for the benefit of or on behalf of the Buyer or its Affiliates under such policies or pursuing claims previously made. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts so that, on and
after the Closing Date, the Buyer and its Affiliates will be able to have the right to make claims for indemnification to the extent possible under the terms of such policies and, to the extent assignable, shall assign the right to make such claims
to the Buyer. 
  
 5.10 Certain Notices. From and after the
date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Company and the Buyer shall promptly notify each other orally and in writing of (a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required in
connection with the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) any Proceedings commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company or the Knowledge of the Buyer, as the case may be, threatened against, relating to or
involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be disclosed pursuant to Article IV, or that relate to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, (c) in the case of the Company, any customer, supplier, vendor, Distributor or employee threatening any material modification or change in, or termination of, its business or other relationship with the Business and (d) in the case of the
Company, any fact, event, change or circumstance known to it that (i) individually or taken together with all other facts, events, changes and circumstances known to it, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect or
(ii) would result in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, any of the conditions to the Acquisition set forth in Article VIII not being satisfied or which would adversely affect, in any material respect, the ability of the parties to
consummate the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis. 
  
 5.11 Certain Intellectual Property Covenants; Grant of Rights. 
  
 (a) The Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at their expense, take such actions prior to and after the
Closing as reasonably required, or as requested by Buyer, to duly execute and deliver as of the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as practicable all instruments and documents necessary to ensure that the records, registrations and applications for
registration of all Company Registered IP, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office and all counterpart or similar agencies wherever such Intellectual Property is registered or is the subject of an
application for registration, correctly reflect all transactions affecting the ownership by the Buyer of such Intellectual Property, which instruments and documents shall, if other than a general assignment or transfer, be prepared by the Buyer or
its counsel at the Buyer’s expense. In the event the Buyer is unable, after expending reasonable efforts under the circumstances, to obtain the Company’s execution of any document required to be executed under this Section 5.11(a),
the Company hereby grants the Buyer the authority to execute such document on the Company’s behalf as the Company’s attorney-in-fact. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the transfer of the domain names
included in the Transferred Assets such that such transfer is effective upon Closing. 
  

 47 

 (b) Effective as of the Closing Date, except as may be permitted under the Transition Services Agreement,
the Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to forever cease to sell any products or provide any services under, or apply to register, in each case throughout the world, any trademarks, service marks, trade dress, design marks, logos, trade
names, domain names, web-sites, brand names, model names and corporate names that are the same as or confusingly similar to any of the trademarks and trade names included in the Company Registered IP; provided, that, after a Change of
Control the foregoing shall not apply to any Intellectual Property owned by the surviving Person in such Change of Control or any of such Person’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (in each case other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) prior to
the effective date of such Change of Control. 
  
 (c) Subject to
Section 2.4, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby grants (to the extent it has the power to do so) to the Buyer and the Designated Purchasers a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid up, royalty-free,
transferable license to all Shared Intellectual Property of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. “Shared Intellectual Property” means all Intellectual Property used in or otherwise related to the Business which is not (i)
included in the Transferred Assets, (ii) provided or made available to the Buyer or a Designated Purchaser pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement or (iii) third-party application software. 
  
 5.12 WARN. The Company shall not, at any time within the 60-day period
prior to the Closing Date, effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff,” as those terms are defined in the WARN or any other similar triggering event under similar Laws, affecting in whole or in part any site of employment,
facility, operating unit or employee of the Business. 
  
 5.13
Confidentiality. The Company recognizes that by reason of its ownership of the Business and the Transferred Assets, it and its Affiliates have acquired confidential information and trade secrets concerning the Business the use or disclosure
of which could cause the Buyer or its Affiliates substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, the Company covenants and agrees with the Buyer that the Company and
its Affiliates will not at any time, except in performance of the Company’s obligations to the Buyer or with the prior written consent of the Buyer, directly or indirectly, disclose any proprietary, secret or confidential information relating
to the Business and the Transferred Assets that any such Person may learn or has learned by reason of its ownership of the Business and the Transferred Assets, unless (i) such information becomes known to the public generally through no fault of the
Company or of its Affiliates, (ii) disclosure is required in the opinion of its independent counsel, by applicable Law or Nasdaq requirements, or (iii) such information was not previously known to the Company or its Affiliates but becomes rightfully
known to the Company or its Affiliates after Closing, without restriction, from a source (other than the Buyer and its Affiliates) not related to the Company’s prior ownership of the Business and without, to the Company’s Knowledge, any
breach of duty to Buyer or its Affiliates. The obligation of the Company and its Affiliates to hold any such information in confidence shall be satisfied if they exercise the same care with respect to such information as they take to preserve the
confidentiality of their own similar information. The parties hereto agree that the covenant contained in this Section 5.13 imposes a reasonable restraint on the Company, its Affiliates and its employees. 
  

 48 

 5.14 Successors. 
  
 (a) In the event that the Company (or any of its respective successors or assigns) shall (i) consolidate or merge with any
other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other Person, or (iii) adopt a plan of dissolution or
liquidation, then in each case proper provision shall be made so that the continuing or surviving corporation or entity (or its successors or assigns, if applicable), or transferee of such assets, or such liquidating trust or other agent, as the
case may be, shall expressly assume all of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, including the Company’s obligations pursuant to Articles II and X, that continue in effect after the consummation of such transaction.
Prior to or within ten (10) Business Days after the public announcement of any such transaction, the Company shall notify the Buyer of any transaction that would trigger the terms of this Section 5.14 and the terms thereof, including the
identity of the continuing or surviving corporation or entity, transferee, liquidating trust or other agent, as the case may be, provided, however, that notice to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.14(a) shall be deemed
satisfied if the Company files a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC reporting any such transaction and the terms thereof. 
  
 (b) In the event that the Buyer (or any of its respective successors or assigns) shall consolidate or merge with any other Person and shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other Person, then in each case proper provision shall be made so that the continuing or
surviving corporation or entity (or its successors or assigns, if applicable), or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall expressly assume all of the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, including the Buyer’s obligations
pursuant to Articles II and X which continue in effect after the consummation of such transaction. 
  
 5.15 Transition Services Agreement. The Company and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith the scope, duration and cost of the services to be
provided to each other under and pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, the body of which shall be substantially similar to Exhibit A hereto. The general principles to be applicable to such services shall be that (i) a party providing
a service shall provide it to the other party at the providing party’s direct cost (each party agreeing that in certain circumstances a flat rate, per hour rate or similar pricing metric might best approximate direct cost), (ii) the duration of
the agreed upon provision of a service shall be arrived at by reference to a commercially reasonable period of time, taking into account all relevant circumstances, to efficiently switch to a third party or develop internal capability or capacity,
with an option to extend such period for an additional period of time to take into account unforeseen circumstances, (iii) the Company shall provide a service during such period if required to enable the Buyer to operate the Business, and the Buyer
shall provide a service during such period if required to enable the Company to operate its businesses other than the Business, in each case in substantially the manner in which the Business or such other business, as the case may be, was operated
by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing taking into account the sale of the Business contemplated hereby, and (iv) on an overall cost basis substantially consistent with the proposed scope and cost levels previously
indicated by the Company to Buyer. The Transition Services Agreement will also contain a mutually agreeable limited and customary “run-off” trademark license in favor of both parties and provide for occupancy agreements in Portland Oregon
and the United Kingdom if the Business properties located there are not leased to Buyer at Closing. 
  

 49 

 5.16 Non-US Employees. The parties shall comply with all obligations under applicable Law to
provide information to or consult with all Non-US Employees or their appropriate representatives as may be required in connection with the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date,
including under Regulations 10 or 10(A) of the Transfer Regulations. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Acquisition constitutes a relevant transfer for the purposes of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981,
as amended (the “Transfer Regulations”) and that pursuant to the Transfer Regulations the Non-US Employees who are assigned to the Business in the United Kingdom will become employees of the Buyer or a Designated Purchaser on the
Closing Date. At Closing, Buyer agrees that it will have in place an employee privacy policy that complies with applicable Law. 
  
 5.17 E-mail and Follow-up Communications. Promptly after the Closing Date, the Company shall send an email to Customers informing them of the
Acquisition and of the transition of product support, maintenance and warranty to the Buyer; provided, however, that the Company may forego sending such an email where it reasonably believes that the provision of such information may
violate applicable Law or breach an agreement between the Company and the applicable Customer. The contents of the email shall be as mutually agreed by the parties, and to the extent required by Law, contain a provision allowing the Customer to
refuse to have their information passed on to the Buyer with respect to the Products. In addition, such email may contain a provision letting the Customers know that the Buyer may be contacting them. As soon as reasonably practicable, and in
compliance with any timing requirements imposed by applicable Law, after Company forward such email communication to any such Customer, the Buyer shall contact such Customer by email or by telephone informing them of the Acquisition and of the
transition of product support, maintenance and warranty to the Buyer and confirm the Customer’s communications preferences (“New Communications Preferences”). Each such communication with a Customer shall be treated by the
Buyer and the Company as a transactional communication (i.e., a communication to Customers that is required to fulfill a contractual duty) and not as marketing or promotional communication. 
  
 5.18 Provision of Customer and Prospect Information and Follow-up
Communications. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.18 and provided that the Buyer executes an EU data transfer agreement with respect to Personal Data from the European Union, the Company shall within 30 days after Closing
Date (the “PD Transfer Date”) provide to the Buyer the information set forth on Schedule 5.18 of the Company Disclosure Schedule concerning current customers of the Business (“Customers”) and Persons that
have inquired about becoming a Customer or obtaining a quotation or additional information during the six months prior to the PD Transfer Date (“Prospects”), in each case to the extent then known by the Company. Such information
will include the applicable marketing communications preferences registered by Customers and Prospects (“Existing Communications Preferences”). The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Customer and Prospect Personal Data is being
provided to the Buyer under this Section 5.18. “Personal Data” means any data that identifies a living individual (including business email address and telephone numbers). The Buyer shall be responsible for ensuring that, as
of the Closing Date, the Buyer (a) implements a valid legal 
  

 50 

 privacy policy, (b) complies with the Buyer’s privacy policy and all applicable data protection and privacy
legislation in any applicable jurisdiction, and (c) obtains all necessary consents to process the Personal Data in the way in which the Buyer wishes to process such Personal Data. The Buyer hereby assumes all Liabilities of the Buyer and of the
Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of the Buyer’s processing of the Customer and Prospect Personal Data, including to the extent that the Buyer processes any Customer or Prospect Personal Data other than in accordance with this Agreement,
the Company Privacy Policy or the Existing Communications Preferences as applicable. The Company shall not be required to convey any Customer or Prospect information to the Buyer to the extent it reasonably believes that the provision of such
information would violate applicable Law or breach an agreement between the Company and the Customer or Prospect. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 TAX MATTERS 
  
 6.1 Control of Tax
Audits. The Company and the Buyer shall jointly control the defense and settlement of any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding (a “Tax Proceeding”) relating to any Periodic Taxes covered by Section 6.4 and each
party shall cooperate with the other party at its own expense and there shall be no settlement or closing or other agreement with respect thereto without the consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Each party shall promptly notify the other party if it decides not to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding, in which case the other party shall be permitted to defend and settle such
Tax audit or proceeding. 
  
 6.2 Cooperation. The Company
and the Buyer shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by the Buyer or the Company hereunder, or in connection with the preparation or filing of
any election, claim for refund, consent or certification, in each case relating to the Business and the Transferred Assets. 
  
 6.3 Transfer Taxes. The Company and the Buyer shall each bear 50% of all sales (including bulk sales), use, value added, documentary, stamp, gross
receipts, registration, transfer, conveyance, excise, recording, license and other similar Taxes and fees (“Transfer Costs”) arising out of or in connection with or attributable to the transactions effected pursuant to this
Agreement. The Company and the Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to deliver certain of the Transferred Assets, as appropriate, through an electronic delivery or in such other manner reasonably calculated and legally
permitted, and take all other commercially reasonable actions necessary, to minimize or avoid the incurrence of Transfer Costs. 
  
 6.4 Proration of Taxes. Real and personal property Taxes and ad valorem Taxes (that are imposed on a periodic basis (as opposed to a net income
basis)) (collectively, “Periodic Taxes”) imposed in connection with the Business shall be prorated between the 
  

 51 

 Company and the Buyer for any Straddle Period. Periodic Taxes of the Company attributable to Straddle Periods shall be
prorated between the Buyer and the Company based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such taxable period included in the Post-Closing Tax Period. The Company shall be liable
for the proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. 
  
 6.5 Payment of Periodic Taxes and Transfer Costs. Periodic Taxes and
Transfer Costs shall be timely paid, and all applicable filings, reports and returns shall be filed, as provided by applicable law. The paying party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-paying party in accordance with Section 6.3
and Section 6.4, as the case may be. Upon payment of any such Periodic Taxes and Transfer Costs, the paying party shall present a statement to the non-paying party setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the paying party is
entitled under Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, as the case may, be together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed. The non-paying party shall make such reimbursement promptly but
in no event later than 10 days after the presentation of such statement. Any payment not made within such time shall bear interest at the London Inter Bank Offer Rate for six (6) month deposits in U.S. dollars as quoted on Telerate page 3750 on the
Closing Date for each day until paid. 
  
 ARTICLE VII

  
 CLOSING 
  
 7.1 Closing Date. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and
the transactions herein shall have been abandoned pursuant to Article IX hereof, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of O’Melveny & Myers LLP
in San Francisco, California, at 10:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the date (the “Closing Date”) that is two (2) Business Days after satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable Law) of the conditions (excluding conditions that, by
their terms, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date) set forth in Article VIII, or at such other time or date as agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing shall for all purposes be deemed to occur

 (a) By mutual written consent of the Buyer and the Company; 
  
 (b) By either the Company or the Buyer, upon written notice to the other party, if the Acquisition shall not have been consummated on or before June 30, 2005 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that

 55 

 the parties shall have used their respective reasonable best efforts to resist, resolve or lift, as applicable, in
accordance with Section 5.6) permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order shall have become final and nonappealable; 
  
 (d) By the Buyer, upon written notice provided to the Company, if there shall
have been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement which breach would, individually or in the aggregate together with all such other then uncured breaches by the Company,
constitute grounds for the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) or (b) not to be satisfied at the Closing Date and such breach is not reasonably capable of being cured (i) prior to the Termination Date or (ii) if such breach is
reasonably capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date, such breach shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after the Buyer has provided to the Company written notice of such breach and (B) three (3) Business

upon written notice provided to the Buyer, if there shall have been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Buyer contained in this Agreement which breach would, individually or in the aggregate together
with all such other then uncured breaches, constitute grounds for the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) or (b) not to be satisfied at the Closing Date and, such breach is not reasonably capable of being cured (i) prior to the
Termination Date or (ii) if such breach is reasonably capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date, such breach shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after the Company has provided to the Buyer written notice

 10.1 Indemnification. 
  
 (a) Following the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Article X, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, assigns and successors (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall
reimburse each Buyer Indemnified Party for, any and all losses (but not lost profits and consequential or punitive damages, except to the extent awarded 

  

 56 

 
by a court of competent jurisdiction in respect of a Third Party Claim), damages, liabilities, royalties, costs and expenses, including interest, penalties,
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, imposed upon or incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party (“Buyer Losses”), with respect to: 
  
 (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company; and any Liabilities
finally assessed in any Proceeding or settlement thereof with respect to or derived from the revenues associated with the pre-Closing sale or provision of Products and related to the matters set forth on Schedule 4.1(p)(x) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule; 
  
 (ii) any breach of any covenant or
agreement made by the Company herein; and

 (b) Following the

“Company Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall reimburse each Buyer Indemnified Party for, any and all losses (but not lost profits and consequential or punitive damages, except to the extent awarded by a court of

hereto or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Buyer Losses or Company Losses, as applicable, claimed by an Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to the limitation set forth in the parenthetical clause
contained in the last sentence of Section 10.2, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that an Indemnified Party may bring a claim for indemnification for any Buyer Losses or Company Losses, as applicable, under this Article X
notwithstanding the fact that such Indemnified Party had knowledge of the breach, event or circumstance giving rise to such loss prior to the Closing or waived any condition to the Closing related thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, neither a Buyer Indemnified Party nor a Company Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assert any claim for indemnification under this Article X unless and until the Losses relating to such claim and all other claims arising
out of the same event, change, circumstance, effect or subject matter equal or exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate. 
  

 57 

 10.2 Limitations on Indemnity Payments. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the maximum aggregate liability of (a) the Company to all Buyer Indemnified Parties taken together for all Buyer Losses under Section 10.1(a)(i), and (b) the Buyer to all Company Indemnified Parties taken together for all Company Losses under
Section 10.1(b)(i) shall, in each such case, be limited to a maximum of 12.5% of the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (x) the Company shall not be liable for
Buyer Losses under Section 10.1(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Buyer Losses collectively exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and then only to the extent of such excess, and (y) the Buyer shall not be liable
for Company Losses under Section 10.1(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Company Losses collectively exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and then only to the extent of such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the limitations and qualifications set forth in this Section 10.2 shall not apply to indemnification (x) for breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1(a), (c), (i)(i), (j) and
(q) and 4.2(a) and (b) (except that the limitation set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10.2 shall apply to all claims for indemnification with respect to the matters referred to in this subclause (x) if the
applicable Indemnified Party had knowledge of the breach, event or circumstance giving rise to such loss prior to the Closing), or (y) under Section 10.1(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) or Section 10.1(b)(ii) (iii) or (iv). 
  
 10.3 Notice of Indemnity Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Party or
Company Indemnified Party entitled to or seeking indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) (i) determines that any event, occurrence, fact, condition or claim has given or could give rise to any Buyer Losses or Company
Losses, as applicable, for which such Indemnified Party is or may be entitled to, or may seek, indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) otherwise identifies an event, occurrence, fact, condition or claim giving rise (or which may give rise) to a
right of indemnification hereunder in favor of such Indemnified Party, or (iii) with respect to any Third Party Claim, becomes aware of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any Proceeding at law or in equity (any of the foregoing, an
“Indemnity Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party obligated to provide indemnification or from whom indemnification is being or will be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such
Indemnity Claim (a “Claim Notice”) describing the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification under this Agreement and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount
of such claim and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection with this Agreement upon which such claim is based. The Indemnified Party will provide the
Indemnifying Party such information with respect to any Indemnity Claim that the Indemnifying party may reasonably request. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification
hereunder nor relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is adversely prejudiced by such failure. 
  
 10.4 Indemnification Procedures. Any obligation to provide indemnification hereunder with respect to any Proceeding
at law or in equity by or against any third party, 
  

 58 

 including any Governmental Authority (a “Third Party Claim”), except with respect to Tax Proceedings,
which shall be governed by Article VI, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (a) Within twenty (20) days after receipt of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether it
disputes the Indemnity Claim and whether it will defend against such Indemnity Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, subject to Section 10.5, to assume and control the defense, compromise, settlement
and investigation of such Indemnity Claim, including the management of any Proceeding relating thereto, and to employ and engage counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to retain control of the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choice (and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, at its sole cost and expense and through
counsel of its own choice) if such Third Party Claim involves (x) a claim for an injunction against any business or operations of the Indemnified Party, (y) a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (z) any customer
of the Business that was one of the Business’s top 25 customers or top five Distributors by revenue for the 12 months prior to the date of such Claim Notice or that is reasonably expected to be one of the Business’s top 25 customers or top
five Distributors by revenue for the 12 months following the date of such Claim Notice, and the Buyer reasonably believes that the prosecution or defense of such Third Party Claim could materially and adversely affect the Buyer’s relationship
with such customer, and in the case of clause (z), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party not more than 50% of the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses in defending such Third Party Claim referred to in
clause (z). The Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense of an Indemnity Claim at its own cost and expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if the named parties to a Proceeding
include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that (i) representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct
or (ii) there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then, in either case, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel
at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken together). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Indemnified Party, during the period the Indemnifying Party is determining whether to elect to assume the defense of a matter covered by this Section 10.4, may take such reasonable actions as it deems necessary to preserve any and all
rights with respect to the matter, without such actions being construed as a waiver of the Indemnified Party’s rights to defense and indemnification under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) If the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake the defense and investigation of any such Indemnity Claim as
provided in Section 10.4(a), then (i) the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such efforts and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnified
Party’s possession, under its control or to which it may have access as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of the defense of
any such Indemnity 
  

 59 

 Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to undertake the defense and investigation of any such Indemnity Claim as provided
in Section 10.4(a), including conducting a good faith and diligent defense, or if the Indemnified Party retains control of the defense of such Third Party Claim as provided in Section 10.4(a), then (i) the Indemnified Party against which such
Indemnity Claim has been asserted shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise, settlement and investigation of such Indemnity Claim on behalf of, and at the cost and expense of and for the account and risk of, the Indemnifying Party,
(ii) the Indemnifying Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such efforts and make available to the Indemnified Party all witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession, under its control
or to which it may have access as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party, and (iii) the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of the defense of any such Indemnity Claim. 
  
 10.5 Settlement of Indemnity Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, (a) settle or compromise any Indemnity Claim or consent to the entry of any final judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff
of a written release or releases from all liability in respect of such Indemnity Claim of all Indemnified Parties affected by such Indemnity Claim, or (b) settle or compromise any Indemnity Claim if the settlement imposes equitable remedies or
material obligations on the Indemnified Party other than financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party shall be indemnified hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, settle or
compromise any Indemnity Claim or consent to the entry of any final judgment with respect to an Indemnity Claim. 
  
 10.6 Survival. All covenants and agreement of the parties made in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date unless otherwise expressly provided
herein. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date for a period of fourteen (14) months following the Closing Date, notwithstanding any investigation at any time made by
or on behalf of the party, except (a) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Sections 4.1(a), (c), (i)(i), and (q) and the representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in Sections
4.2(a) and (b) shall survive indefinitely, and (b) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Sections 4.1(j) shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statue of limitations
or statutory tax assessment period (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive). If any Claim Notice for indemnification under Section 10.1(a) or 10.1(b) shall have been given within the applicable survival
period, the representations and warranties that are the subject of such indemnification claim shall survive until such time as such claim is finally resolved. 
  

10.7 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Each of the Buyer and the Company agrees to treat any payment made under this Article X as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price.

 11.2 Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when all counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that the
parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any party may execute this Agreement by facsimile signature, and the other parties will be entitled to rely on such facsimile signature as conclusive evidence that this Agreement has been duly executed by

herein) constitutes the entire agreement among all the parties hereto and terminates and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, among all the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, other
than the Confidentiality Agreement which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement as provided for herein. 
  
 11.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person (including, without limitation, any Business Employee) other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns,
any rights, remedies or Liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

without the prior written consent of the Buyer, in the case of the Sellers, or the Company, in the case of the Buyer, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that the
Buyer may assign in writing its rights and obligations, in whole or in part, to one or more of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, but the Buyer shall remain jointly and severally liable with any such assignee(s) with respect to all obligations of the

reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to

	Title:	 	PresidentParticipation Agreement between Ascendant Solutions, Inc. and Fairways Partners

 Exhibit 10.16 
  
 Participation Agreement 
  
 This Participation Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into the 13th day of August 2003 (“Effective Date”), between Ascendant
Solutions, Inc. (“Ascendant”), James C. Leslie (“Leslie”), Cathy R. Sweeney (“Sweeney”), A. Brant Bryan (“Bryan”) and David Stringfield (“Stringfield”). Each of Leslie, Sweeney, Bryan and Stringfield
are considered to be principals of Fairways Equities, LLC (the “Principals”). 
  
 Now, Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, the right of Leslie, Sweeney, Bryan and Stringfield to participate in a private transaction involving Ascendant’s common stock
and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 1. Granting of Participation Rights. Ascendant is hereby granted the right and option to participate in a twenty percent (20%) share of the limited partnership
interests in the sweat equity ownership level of future investment limited partnerships (the “Participation Interest”) contemplated to be formed by Leslie, Sweeney, Bryan and Stringfield in the future, acting through Fairways Equities, LLC
(“Fairways”), a management entity which will serve as general partner of such limited partnerships, as such limited partnerships or similar entities are formed. It being contemplated that such limited partnerships will be created in the
future as single asset entities to purchase real property holdings (“Fairways Transactions”). The equity interest reserved to Ascendant shall be at the level typically assigned as “sweat equity” more commonly known in Fairways
Transactions, as a “B Class” partnership interest. The Participation Interest of Ascendant shall be on the same terms, conditions and economics as the participations held by each of the Principals. It being understood that the interest
will be at the B Class level and as such the interest actually allocated to Ascendant may be less than twenty percent (20%) of all partnership interests in the applicable entity. In addition to the Participation Interest referred to above, Ascendant
shall have the option to acquire an equity investment in future Fairways Transactions, on the same terms and conditions as are then offered to other equity investors. 
  
 2. Termination of Participation Interest. The Participation Interest granted to Ascendant shall continue as to all Fairways
Transactions closed after the Effective Date through December 31, 2005. If Ascendant’s Cash Flow (as hereinafter defined) for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005 is not equal to or greater than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), then
this Agreement shall terminate and Ascendant shall have no further right to acquire any interest in Fairways Transactions closed after such date. Principals of Fairways shall use reasonable efforts to close transactions timely so as to close by
December 31, 2005 if reasonably possible. If Ascendant’s Cash Flow for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005 equals or exceeds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), then this Agreement shall continue for additional successive twelve (12)
month periods, subject to termination at the end of each twelve month period, if Ascendant’s Cash Flow for the applicable twelve month period does not increase by a minimum of ten percent (10%) over the Cash Flow for the prior twelve month
period. 
  
 3. Definition of Cash Flow. For purposes of this Agreement,
Ascendant’s Cash Flow shall be determined by calculating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) utilizing generally accepted accounting principles and increasing such amount by (i) the net gain on
capital transactions (without duplication), plus (ii) investment income (without duplication) plus (iii) return of capital on any investment which otherwise would have been recorded as investment income (without duplication), less (iv) any portion
of EBITDA attributable to investments in Fairways Transactions or investments in or entered into with CRESA Capital Markets Group. L.P. 
  
 4. Assignability. Ascendant may not assign or transfer the Participation Interest granted by this Agreement in any manner without the prior written consent of
Fairways, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld 
  
 5. Reservation of
Participation Interest. Leslie, Sweeney, Bryan, and Stringfield shall cause Fairways to set aside the Participation Interest in each future Fairways Transaction until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 2, above.

 Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, no interest shall be required to be issued with
respect to this Agreement unless counsel for Fairways shall be reasonably satisfied that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable laws. 
  
 7. Notice. Any notice, tender or delivery to be given hereunder by either party to the other may be effected by personal delivery in writing or by registered or
certified mail to the party at their last known address, and shall be deemed received on the date deposited with the U.S. Postal Service, postage prepaid. 
  
 8. Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any controversy, claim or dispute between the parties hereto, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach
thereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum as and for attorneys’ fees in such litigation, which shall be determined by the court in such litigation or in a separate
action brought for that purpose. 
  
 9. Binding Effect. This Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of all the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
  
 10. Texas Law to Apply. This Agreement shall be construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, and all obligations of the parties created
hereunder are performable in Dallas County, Texas. 
  
 11. Legal
Construction. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision thereof and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein. 
  
 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original.

  
 In Witness Whereof, the parties have executed this Agreement
the day and year first above written.
