any suit, claim, loss, damage or cost arising from any claim that the Software
infringes, misappropriates or violates any intellectual property rights of a
third party.  The following procedures shall apply:  (a)
Ants shall have sole control of the defense and/or settlement (except that no

in the opinion of Ants may become, the subject of any claim or suit for
infringement of any intellectual property rights of a third party, Ants may, and
in the event of any adjudication that any Software or any part thereof does
infringe or if the use of the Software or any part thereof is enjoined, Ants
shall, at its expense, do one of the following:  (1) procure for the
Indemnified Parties the right to use and distribute the Software or the affected
part thereof; (2) replace the Software or affected part with a non-infringing
Software; (3) modify the Software or affected part to make it non-infringing; or

    9.10           Governing
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the domestic laws of the State of California without giving
effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State

Waivers.  No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall
be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Sybase and Ants. No
waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or

    9.14           Construction.  The
Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this
Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties
and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any
Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be
deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless
the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including
without limitation. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate
to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the
Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with particularity and describes
the relevant facts in detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not
be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made
herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of
the document or other item itself). The Parties intend that each representation,
warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If
any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained
herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation,
warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the
relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not
detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first
representation, warranty, or covenant.

in the software industry) or any other code designed or intended to have, or

disrupting, disabling, harming or otherwise impeding in any manner the operation
of, or providing unauthorized access to, a computer system or network or other
device on which such code is stored or installed; or (ii) damaging or destroying

      (v)           Except
as set forth on Section 2.7(v) of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the software
included in the Purchased IP is subject to any “copyleft” or other obligation or
condition (including any obligation or condition under any “open source” license
such as the GNU Public License, Lesser GNU Public License or Mozilla Public
License) that: (i) could or does require, or could or does condition the use or
distribution of such software on, the disclosure, licensing or distribution of
any source code for any portion of such software; or (ii) could or does
otherwise impose any limitation, restriction or condition on the right or

any software included in the Purchased IP has been delivered, licensed or made

      2.8           Governmental
Authorization.  Section 2.8 of the Disclosure Schedule identifies,
as related to the ADS Business, each Governmental Authorization held by Seller
or any employee of Seller (i) pursuant to which Seller currently operates
or holds any interest in any of its properties included in the Purchased Assets,
or (ii) which is required for the operation of the ADS Business
conducted by Seller or the holding of any interest in any of the Purchased
Assets (collectively, “Seller
Authorizations”).  Seller Authorizations are in full force and
effect and constitute all Seller Authorizations required to permit Seller to
operate and conduct the ADS Business and to hold any interest in any of the
Purchased Assets.

Business or the Purchased Assets nor does Seller have Knowledge of any event,
circumstance or condition indicating that such a Proceeding will
commence.  There is no investigation or other Proceeding pending or
threatened against Seller concerning or relating to the Purchased Assets
(tangible or intangible) nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, is there any
reasonable basis therefor.  No Governmental Body has at any time

      2.10           Insurance. 
Section 2.10 of the Disclosure Schedule lists all insurance policies and
fidelity bonds covering the Purchased Assets and all claims made by Seller under
each of such policies.  There is no claim by Seller pending under any
of such policies or bonds as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or
disputed by the underwriters of such policies or bonds.  All premiums
due and payable under all such policies and bonds have been paid, and Seller is
otherwise in material compliance with the terms of such policies and bonds (or
other policies and bonds providing substantially similar insurance
coverage).  Seller does not have any Knowledge of threatened
termination of, or premium increase with respect to, any of such policies or
bonds.

       

      2.11           Compliance with
Laws.  Seller: (a) has complied with each, (b) is not in violation
of any, (c) has not received at any time any notice or other communication
regarding any actual or alleged violation of or failure to comply with any, and
(d) has not received any notices or other communication that any event has
occurred or any condition or circumstance exists that might (with or without
notice or lapse of time) constitute a violation of any Legal Requirement that is
applicable to Seller concerning the ADS Business or the ownership of Seller of
the Purchased Assets.

       

      2.12           Complete Copies of Materials
and Documents.  Seller has delivered or made available true and
complete copies of each document (or summaries of same) that has been requested
by Buyer or its counsel concerning or relating to the Purchased
Assets.

       

      2.13           Representations
Complete.  None of the representations or warranties made by Seller
concerning or relating to the Purchased Assets (as modified by the Disclosure
Schedules) and none of the statements made in any exhibit, schedule or
certificate furnished by Seller concerning or relating to the Purchased Assets
pursuant to this Agreement contains, or will contain at the Closing Date, any
untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which made, not misleading.  All
of the information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule is accurate and
complete.

      2.14           Contracts.

       

      (a)           Section
2.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies each Seller Contract used in the
ADS Business, including the Transferred Contracts (the “ADS Contracts”).
Seller has delivered to Buyer accurate and complete copies of all of such Seller
Contracts, including all amendments thereto.  Each such Seller
Contract is valid and in full force and effect.

       

      (b)           Except
as set forth in Section 2.14(b) of the Disclosure Schedule: (i) no Person
(including Seller) has violated or breached, or declared or committed any
default under, any ADS Contract; (ii) no event has occurred, and no circumstance
or condition exists, that might (with or without notice or lapse of time): (A)
result in a violation or breach of any of the provisions of any ADS
Contract, (B) give
any Person the right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under any ADS
Contract, (C) give any Person the right to accelerate the maturity or
performance of any ADS Contract, or (D) give any Person the right to cancel,
terminate or modify any ADS Contract; (iii) Seller has not received any notice
or other communication (in writing or otherwise) regarding any actual, alleged,
possible or potential violation or breach of, or default under, any ADS
Contract; and (iv) Seller has not waived any right under any ADS
Contract.

       

      (c)           Except
as set forth on Section 2.14(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no basis
upon which any party to any ADS Contract may object to (i) the assignment to
Buyer of any right under such ADS Contract, or (ii) the delegation to or
performance by Buyer of any obligation under such ADS Contract.

       

      (d)           The
Transferred Contracts identified on Schedule 1.1(d)
collectively constitute all of the Contracts necessary to enable Seller to use
the Purchased Assets and to conduct the ADS Business in the manner in which such
business is currently being conducted.

       

      2.15           Liabilities.  There
are no accrued, contingent or other Liabilities of any nature, either matured or
unmatured (whether or not required to be reflected in financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and whether due or to
become due) of the ADS Business, except for Liabilities of Seller under the Transferred
Contracts.

       

      2.16           Solvency.  Seller
has not, within the seven years preceding the date hereof, made a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors or filed any bankruptcy petition or
similar filing or suffered the attachment or judicial seizure of any
assets.

       

      2.17           Tax
Matters.  Seller has filed all federal, state, local and
foreign Tax Returns that are required to be filed for the ADS Business and the
Purchased Assets or has timely requested extension thereof and has paid all
Taxes, including sales and withholding Taxes, penalties and interest,
assessments, fees and other charges relating to the Purchased Assets to the
extent that the same have become due and payable.  No Tax assessment
or deficiency has been made or proposed against Seller concerning the Purchased
Assets nor has Seller received any notice of any proposed Tax audit, assessment
or deficiency concerning the Purchased Assets.  No claim or Proceeding
is pending or to the Knowledge of Seller is being threatened against Seller or
otherwise with respect to the ADS Business in respect of any Tax.

      2.18           Employee And Labor
Matters.

       

      (a)           Section
2.18(a) of the Disclosure Schedule accurately sets forth, with respect to each
person employed by Seller or otherwise in connection with the ADS Business
(including any employee who is on a leave of absence or on layoff
status):  (i) the name and title of such employee; (ii) the aggregate
compensation payable to each such
employee by Seller on an annualized basis as of the date hereof (including
wages, salary, commissions, bonuses, profit-sharing payments); and (iii) a
description of fringe benefits and any other payments or  benefits of
any type applicable to such employee.

       

      (b)           No
former employee of Seller has any claim on behalf of or in respect of the ADS
Business or the Purchased Assets.

       

      (c)           To
the Knowledge of Seller no individual employed by Seller in connection with the
ADS Business intends to terminate his employment.

       

      2.19           Sybase Source
Code.  The Source Code for ADS delivered to Sybase Inc.
pursuant to that certain License Agreement, dated April 30, 2008, by and between
Seller and Sybase Inc. does not include any source code that implements any of
the features or functionality of ADS related to Oracle PL/SQL, Informix ISQL
and  Microsoft Transact-SQL (also known as Microsoft T-SQL)
compatibility, other than immaterial items or lines of source code that do not
implement any such features or functionality in any material
respect.

                REPRESENTATIONS
      AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

              

      

       

      Buyer
represents and warrants to Seller, as follows:

       

      3.1           Organization.  Buyer
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Washington.

       

      3.2           Authorization of
Transactions.  Buyer has full corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.  This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Buyer and constitutes the valid and binding agreements of Buyer,
enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by application of equitable remedies and principles
and by insolvency, moratorium, bankruptcy, and similar laws.

       

      3.3           Absence of
Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Buyer
do not and shall not conflict with, constitute a default under, result in a
violation of, or require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or
other action by or notice or declaration to, or filing with, any court or
administrative or other governmental body or agency, under (i) the provisions of
the articles of organization or bylaws of Buyer, (ii) any law, statute, rule or
regulation to which Buyer is subject or (iii) any judgment, order or decree to
which Buyer is subject.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          14

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      
        	
                4.

              	
                INDEMNIFICATION,
      ETC.

              

      

       

      4.1           Survival of Representations
and Covenants; Indemnification, etc.

       

      (a)           The
representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of each Party to this
Agreement shall survive:  (i) the Closing and the sale of the
Purchased Assets to Buyer; and (ii) the dissolution of any Party to this
Agreement.  All of said representations and warranties, other than the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.7, shall remain in full
force and effect and shall survive for a period of 36 months following the
Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”);
provided, however, that
if, at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date, any Indemnitee delivers a
Claim Notice claiming that the Indemnitee is entitled to Damages for which it is
or may be entitled to be held harmless or indemnified under Section 4.1, then
the claim asserted in such Claim Notice and the liability of the Indemnifying
Party with respect to such indemnification claim shall survive until such time
as such claim is fully and finally resolved.  All covenants and
obligations of the Parties to this Agreement shall survive and Closing and
expire in accordance with their respective terms.

       

      (b)           Indemnification by
Seller.  Seller shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify each
of the Buyer Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse
each of the Buyer Indemnitees for, any Damages that are directly or indirectly
suffered or incurred by such Buyer Indemnitee or to which such Buyer Indemnitee
may otherwise become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such
Damages relate to any third-party claim) and that arise directly or indirectly
from or as a direct or indirect result of, or are directly or indirectly
connected with:

       

      (i)           any
inaccuracy in or breach (including any inadvertent or innocent breach) of, or
any failure (including any inadvertent failure) to comply with or perform,
any  representation, warranty, statement, information, covenant,
obligation or provision contained in this Agreement or any of the Transactional
Agreements (including, without limitation the Disclosure Schedule);

       

      (ii)           any
Excluded Liability; or

       

      (iii)           any
Liability to which any Buyer Indemnitee may become subject and that arises
directly or indirectly from or relates directly or indirectly to (A) any claims
concerning a product produced or sold or any services performed prior to the
Closing Date by or on behalf of Seller, (B) the operation by Seller of the ADS
Business or use and ownership of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date,
(C) any failure to comply with any Legal Requirement in connection with any of
the Transactions, or (D) any failure of
Seller to obtain any consent for the assignment of any of the Transferred
Contracts.

       

      (c)           Indemnification by
Buyer.  From and after the Closing and until the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify
each of the Seller Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and
reimburse each of the Seller Indemnitees for, any Damages that are directly or
indirectly suffered or incurred by such Seller Indemnitee or to which such
Seller Indemnitee may otherwise become subject at any time (regardless of
whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and that arise
directly or indirectly from or as a direct or indirect result of, or are
directly or indirectly connected with:

      
        
          
          

        

        
          15

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (i)           any
failure on the part of Buyer to perform or discharge any Assumed Liability on a
timely basis; or

       

      (ii)           any
Liability relating to the Purchased Assets or the operation of the ADS Business
by Buyer after the Closing, in each case to the extent that (A) such Liability
arises from or relates to any event, circumstance, action or other matter
occurring after the Closing, and (B) such Liability does not arise from or
relate to any breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant or
obligation contained in this Agreement or any other event, circumstance, action
or other matter occurring prior to the Closing.

       

      (d)           Setoff.

       

      (i)           Notwithstanding
anything contrary herein or any of the Transactional Agreements, in addition to
any rights of setoff or other rights that Buyer may have at common law or
otherwise, Buyer shall have the right to withhold and deduct any sum that may be
owed or payable to Buyer under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section
4.1(b)) or any of the Transactional Agreements against any sum that may be owed
or payable to Seller under any of the Transactional Agreements (including the
Note).  The withholding and deduction of any sum finally determined to
be owing or payable to Buyer shall operate for all purposes as a complete
discharge (to the extent of such sum) of the obligation to pay the amount from
which such sum was withheld and deducted.

       

      (ii)           If
any Buyer Indemnitee or any Seller Indemnitee (an “Indemnitee”) has or
claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered Damages for which it is or may
be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 4 or
for which it is or may otherwise be entitled to monetary remedy in connection
with this Agreement, such Indemnitee may deliver a claim notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the
other Party hereto, which shall contain a non-binding preliminary, good faith
estimate of the amount which the claiming Indemnitee claims to be entitled (the
“Claimed
Amount”).  It is hereby agreed that Buyer may withhold and
deduct the Claimed Amount against any sum that may be owed or payable to Seller
under the Note until the Buyer Indemnitee’s claim as described in the Claim
Notice is finally resolved.

       

      4.2           Nonexclusivity of
Indemnification Remedies.  The indemnification remedies and
other remedies provided in this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be
exclusive.  Accordingly, the exercise by any Person of any of its
rights under this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be an election of remedies
and shall not be deemed to prejudice, or to constitute or operate as a waiver
of, any other right or remedy that such Person may be entitled to exercise
(whether under this Agreement, under any other Contract, under any statute, rule
or other Legal Requirement, at common law, in equity or otherwise).

      
        
          
          

        

        
          16

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      4.3           Defense of Third Party
Claims.  In the event of the assertion or commencement by any
Person of any claim or Proceeding (whether against Buyer or Seller or against
any other Person) with respect to which Buyer or Seller may become obligated to
indemnify, hold harmless, compensate or reimburse an Indemnitee hereto pursuant
to this Section 4, then the following shall apply:

       

      (a)           all
expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Proceeding (whether or not
incurred by the Indemnitee) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Party
subject to such obligation (the “Indemnifying
Party”);

       

      (b)           the
Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnitee any documents and
materials in the possession or control of the Indemnifying Party that may be
necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

       

      (c)           the
Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnifying Party informed of all material
developments and events relating to such claim or Proceeding; and

       

      (d)           the
Indemnitee shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or
Proceeding with the consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold or unreasonably delay such
consent.

       

      4.4           Certain
Limitations.

       

      (a)           Subject

      (b)           Subject

or more of the Buyer Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Buyer
Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds the Threshold Amount
in the aggregate, in which event Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to all such
Damages, including the initial Threshold Amount.

       

      (c)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Sections 4.4(a) and 4.4(b) shall not
apply (i) in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, (ii) to any
breach of or any failure to comply with or perform any covenant or obligation
contained in this Agreement or in the Transactional Agreements, (iii) to any
Excluded Liabilities, and (iv) to any inaccuracy in or breach of the
representations or warranties set forth in Section 2.7 hereof.

      AGREEMENTS

              

      

       

      5.1           Further

all at Buyer’s expense for its out-of-pocket expenses, but without further
compensation to Seller.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          17

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      5.2           Designated
Employees.  At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall terminate
each Designated Employee.  Seller shall be fully responsible for any

utilities used therein
(the “Leased
Facility”).  Subject to timely payment of the Rent, Buyer shall
have the right to use the Leased Facilities through April 30,
2009.  Buyer shall pay Seller $13,000 per month (the “Rent”), on or before
the first day of each month, commencing June 1, 2008 for the duration of the
Sub-Lease as consideration for the Leased Facilities, unless it provides Seller
30 days prior notice of its intention to discontinue using the Leased
Facility.  In the event that any such Rent is not paid as and when
due, Seller may
re-utilize, sublet, rent, terminate the rental of, or otherwise dispose of the
Leased Facilities.  The Rent shall include all utilities and
janitorial services currently used by the Designated Employees and Seller shall
continue to maintain the Leased Facility (on its expense) in a way comparable to
the way maintained by Seller before the Closing.

       

      5.4           The IT Services.

       

      (a)           Immediately following the Closing Date, Seller shall
provide Buyer the network and information technology services set forth
on Schedule
5.4, all to be provided by the Person (the “IT Designated
Employee”) set forth on such Schedule (the “IT Services”).  Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that the IT Designated Employee remains an employee of Seller and
continues to provide services to Buyer.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, Buyer may at any time notify Seller of its intention to terminate
the IT Services, provided that Buyer provides Seller with 14 days prior notice
(“IT
Termination Notice”).

       

      (b)           Buyer shall pay Seller $6,300 per month as
consideration for the IT Services, on or before the first day of each month,
commencing June 1, 2008 and continuing through December 1, 2008, unless Buyer
provides Seller the IT Termination Notice.  In the event that any such
payment is not made as and when due, Seller may terminate the IT
Services.

       

      (c)           Following
not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice, Buyer may solicit the
employment of and/or hire the IT Designated Employee at any
time.  Seller shall not interfere with Buyer’s solicitation of such IT
Designated Employee, and Seller shall provide such assistance as Buyer may
reasonably request in connection with such solicitation.

      (d)           The
Parties acknowledge that, in the course of performing the IT Services or because
of the proximity of the Leased Facility, Seller and its employees and agents may
receive, observe and otherwise have access to confidential and proprietary
information related to Buyer (including the Purchased Assets), Buyer’s products,
tools, software, technology, processes, business plans and costumers that is
either marked or identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or that
should reasonably be considered under the circumstances of its disclosure to be
confidential to Buyer (the “Buyer’s
Information”).  Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer’s
Information includes all Intellectual Property Rights, accounting, financial,
technical, business, and other data related to Buyer’s business and stored on
the computer or telecommunications systems of Seller, as well as the contents of
patent applications, inventions, and related files.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Buyer’s Information does not include information that Seller can
prove by clear and convincing evidence: (x) is in the public domain, through no
fault of Seller; or (y) is disclosed to Seller by a third party who is entitled
to so disclose the information.  Seller agrees that:

       

      (i)           Seller
will not use, reproduce, or exploit Buyer’s Information for any purpose other
than performing the IT Services as contemplated under this
Agreement;

       

      (ii)           Seller
will hold all Buyer’s Information in strict confidence and will not disclose or
otherwise make available Buyer’s Information to any third party, and Seller will
restrict access to Buyer’s Information to those of its employees who have a need
to know such information in order to perform the IT Services;

       

      (iii)           Seller
will take all reasonable and necessary steps to protect Buyer’s Information from
inadvertent or unintentional disclosure to third parties by Seller and will
protect Buyer’s Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use with at
least the same degree of care as Seller uses to protect its own most valuable
trade secret information, and in any event no less than reasonable
care;

       

      (iv)           Seller
will reproduce, on all copies of documents and materials containing Buyer’s
Information made by Seller or its employees, agents, or contractors, all
proprietary rights notices of Buyer appearing on the original copy of such
document or material; and

       

      (v)           Seller
will, at Buyer’s request, promptly return to Buyer or destroy all documents and
materials in tangible form, and permanently erase all data in electronic form,
containing any Buyer Information, and certify in writing signed by an executive
officer of Seller that Seller has fully complied with this
obligation.

       

      Seller
will ensure that each employee, agent, and contractor of Seller or its
affiliates who performs the IT Services or will otherwise receive disclosure of
Buyer’s Information has signed Seller’s standard form of employee or independent
contractor (as appropriate) nondisclosure agreement.  Seller
acknowledges and agrees that Seller and its affiliates have no right, title, or
interest of any nature in any Buyer’s Information, other than a limited,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license during the term of
the Agreement to use and reproduce Buyer’s Information solely to
the extent necessary to perform the IT Services as contemplated under this
Agreement.

      5.5           Expenses.  Except
as otherwise provided herein, each of the Parties shall pay all of its own fees,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, costs and expenses of
legal counsel or other representatives and advisors) incurred in connection with
the negotiation of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

       

      5.6           Non-Competition.  For
two years, beginning on the Closing Date, Seller shall not directly or
indirectly, personally or through others, sell a product for use with an
application that uses the Informix 4GL product, or the Genero, Genero DB or BDS
products sold by Buyer.

       

      5.7           Limitation on Hiring and
Solicitation.  During the two-year period commencing on the
Closing Date:

       

      (a)           
each Party shall not (and shall ensure that its affiliates do not) directly or
indirectly, personally or through others, knowingly encourage, induce, attempt
to induce, solicit or attempt to solicit, any employee of the other Party,
including any Designated Employee, to leave his or her employment, consulting or
independent contractor relationship with the other Party (or any of its
affiliates); provided, however, that none
of the following situations shall be considered a breach of this Section 5.7(a):
(i) any situation where an employee of a Party initiates contact with the other
Party (or any of its affiliates) to discuss employment, consultant or contractor
opportunities; or (ii) any situation where an employee responds to a generalized
public solicitation by the other Party regarding one of such Party’s available
employment, consulting or independent contractor positions; and

       

      (b)           Seller
shall not: (i) hire any Designated Employee as an employee, consultant or
independent director;  or (ii) interfere or attempt to interfere with
the relationship of Buyer with any customer of the ADS
Business.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there has been an event
of default under the Note, the restrictions set forth in clause “(i)” of this
Section 5.7(b) shall no longer apply.

       

      5.8           Revenue
Sharing.  Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide the services and obligations pursuant to the Base Agreement dated as of
September 22, 2006 between International Business Machines Corporation and
Seller and all Statements of Work and Work Authorizations relating to the DDG
1000 program and executed thereunder or in connection therewith (the “IBM
Agreement”).  From and after the Closing Date and until the
fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller fifty percent
(50%) of all revenue received by Buyer in connection with proposals arising
under or related to the IBM Agreement.  All revenue in connection with
proposals arising under or related to the IBM Agreement prior to the Closing
Date shall belong to Seller.

      5.9           License
Grant.  Subject to Section 5.6 hereof, Buyer hereby grants
Seller a non-exclusive, fully-transferable, assignable, perpetual, irrevocable,
worldwide, fully-paid and royalty-free license under all of Buyer’s Intellectual
Property Rights to: (a) internally use, reproduce, modify, make, have made and
create derivative works of the Source Code for ADS included in the ADS/ACS
Intersect, as defined below (the “Licensed Code”) and
compile the Licensed Code and derivatives into object code form, all for the
sole purpose of further developing, modifying, marketing, commercializing, and
enhancing ACS; and (b) to use, sell, transfer, import, export, lease, license,
perform, display and distribute and sublicense the Licensed Code as incorporated
into ACS through any means or medium or in any way currently known or unknown
including the right to sublicense some or all of the foregoing rights through
multiple tiers of sublicenses, all for any purpose.  Seller
acknowledges that the Source Code will constitute as of the Closing a valuable
trade secret of Buyer.  Accordingly, Seller agrees not to disclose or
use (including, without limitation, not to modify or create derivative works
from) the Source Code except as expressly permitted in this Section
5.9.  For purposes of avoidance of doubt, the license to the Licensed
Code set forth above shall only apply to the Source Code for ADS in the original
form delivered to Buyer by Seller, and shall not include any license to any
modifications made to such Source Code following the Closing.  For
purposes of avoidance of doubt, this license is only for the ADS/ACS Intersect
portions of the Source Code for ADS, and not for all of the Source Code for
ADS.  For purposes of avoidance of doubt, nothing herein is intended
to limit the Seller’s use of source code, software, technology or Intellectual
Property that is included in ACS but is not included in ADS. For purposes of
this Section 5.9, “ADS/ACS Intersect”
shall mean that certain source code, software, technology and Intellectual
Property that is included in both ADS and ACS.

of the Transactions is issued or otherwise disseminated by or on behalf of
Seller without Buyer’s prior written consent; (b) Seller continues to keep the
terms of this Agreement and the other Transactional Agreements strictly
confidential; and (c) Seller keep strictly confidential, and Seller shall not
use or disclose to any other Person, any non-public document or other
information that relates directly or indirectly to the Purchased Assets or the
ADS Business, provided, however, that (i)
Seller shall consult with and shall seek the consent of Buyer (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld) with respect to the content of the initial
press release issued on behalf of Seller pertaining to the Transactions, and
(ii) Seller may comply with all of its periodic disclosure responsibilities
under securities laws.

       

      5.11           Consulting
Agreement.  Within thirty (30) days following the execution of
this Agreement, the Buyer and the Seller will negotiate in good faith and use
reasonable commercial efforts to agree to a Consulting Agreement under which
Buyer will provide consulting services to Seller.

remedy.  No Person shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising
