the Seller Indemnified Parties by reason of, resulting from, or arising out of (i) any breach of
any representation or warranty made by Buyers in Article 5; or (ii) any breach or non-performance
by Buyers of their covenants in this Agreement.

     (c) The term “Losses” as used in this Article 8 is not limited to matters asserted by third
parties, but includes Losses incurred or sustained by an Indemnified Party in the absence of third
party claims.

     (d) No Party shall be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless any other Person with respect to
any breach or violation of this Agreement to the extent such Person had actual knowledge of such

-36-

 

breach or violation at or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, the foregoing shall not
apply to any knowledge with respect to any events or circumstances described in Section 8.2(a)(6).

8.3 Limitation on Indemnification.

     (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2(a), (i) no Buyer Indemnified Party shall
have any right to indemnification under Sections 8.2(a)(1), 8.2(a)(2) or 8.2(a)(4) unless and until
the aggregate of all Losses suffered by such Buyer Indemnified Party hereunder and/or under the
Canadian Purchase Agreement exceeds $800,000 (the “Deductible”), whereupon the Buyer
Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified for all Losses including those not previously indemnified
because the Deductible had not been exceeded; and (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses recoverable
pursuant to this Article 8 by Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer Indemnified Parties, on the other
hand, shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price (the “Indemnification
Cap”). For purposes of calculating the Deductible, the Losses incurred by a Buyer Indemnified
Party under this Agreement shall be aggregated with the Losses incurred by any other Buyer
Indemnified Party under the Canadian Purchase Agreement.

     (b) Notwithstanding Section 8.3(a), nothing in this Section 8.3 shall limit any Losses
resulting by reason of, resulting from, or arising out of breaches of any of the Excluded
Warranties or any of the events described in Section 8.2(a)(6). In the event there is a breach of
the Excluded Warranties or there are Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(3),
8.2(a)(5)or 8.2(a)(6), then each Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification from
DW and OHI from and against any and all Losses suffered by such Buyer Indemnified Party as a result
of such breaches of the Excluded Warranties or as a result of any of the events described in
Sections 8.2(a)(3), 8.2(a)(5) or 8.2(a)(6) without regarding to the limitations set forth in
Section 8.3(a).

     (c) The amount of Losses shall be calculated as further provided in Section 8.7. No Party
hereto will be liable to another Party hereunder for any punitive, consequential, incidental or
special damages, including loss of revenue or income, business interruption, cost of capital or
loss of business reputation or opportunity, relating to any claim for which such Party may be
entitled to recover under this Agreement other than damages relating to a claim for fraud or
knowing or intentional misrepresentation or omission.

     (d) Notwithstanding the indemnification provided by Section 8.2(a)(6), if a Regulatory
Authority determines that the valuation used by LAI in connection with the transfer of any portion
of the Company’s Intellectual Property to LFC is greater than the price at which such property was
transferred to LFC (the “Adjusted IP Valuation”), Sellers shall have no obligation to
indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties except with respect to Taxes payable by LAI or LFC on the
amount, if, any, by which the Adjusted IP Valuation exceeds $10,000,000.

     (e) No Seller shall be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party
with respect to any Losses to the extent that (i) a corresponding reserve for such Losses has been
specifically included in the Financial Statements, (ii) an amount has been reserved for such Loss
in the Financial Statements (the “Specific Loss Reserve Amount”) and (iii) the Specific
Loss Reserve Amount is sufficient to cover such Loss in full. In the event the applicable Specific
Loss Reserve Amount is insufficient to cover the Loss in full, Sellers shall be obligated to
indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to such Losses that
exceed the Specific Loss Reserve Amount reserved in the Financial Statements for such Loss.

     (f) No Party hereto shall be obligated to indemnify any other Person with respect to any
covenant or condition expressly waived in writing by the other party on or prior to the Closing.

-37-

 

     (g) Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, in determining whether an event described in
Section 8.2(a)(4) or Section 8.2(a)(5) has occurred, the terms and conditions of the Canadian
Purchase Agreement shall control. In the event a Buyer Indemnified Party seeks indemnification
pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(4) or Section 8.2(a)(5) and the Buyer Indemnified Party is otherwise
entitled to indemnification under the Canadian Purchase Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Party, in
its sole discretion, may seek indemnification under this Agreement or the Canadian Purchase
Agreement in a manner that allows the Buyer Indemnified Party to be indemnified for the full amount
of the Loss incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party subject to any limitations of indemnification
set forth in this Section 8.3 and in the Canadian Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that no
Loss shall be (or is intended to be) indemnified, in whole or in part, more than once in any claim
for indemnification. The Indemnification Cap is intended to be applied on a global basis with
respect to this Agreement and the Canadian Purchase Agreement such that no Buyer Indemnified Party
or DW Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification and Sellers and Lulu Holdco will not
be liable with respect to Losses under this Agreement and the Canadian Purchase Agreement that,
when taken separately or together, exceed the Indemnification Cap.

     (h) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a)(4), no Seller shall be obligated to indemnify or hold
harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party for any Losses associated with or arising as a result of the
Emerging Minds Technology Consultants Inc. litigation disclosed in Section 4.6 of the Company
Disclosure Memorandum, it being acknowledged that DW has agreed to separately indemnify LAI and
other parties in respect of such Losses pursuant to an Indemnity Agreement dated as of the date
hereof by and between DW and LAI.

8.4 Notice of Claims.

     (a) Any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder
(the “Indemnified Party”) shall, within the relevant limitation period provided for in
Section 8.1, give (i) in the case of indemnification sought by any Seller Indemnified Party, to
Lulu Holdco, and (ii) in the case of indemnification sought by any Buyer Indemnified Party, to
Sellers, a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts
giving rise, or that could reasonably be expected to give rise, to any claims for indemnification
hereunder 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
agreement, certificate or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith upon which
such claim is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in
equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given
promptly after the action or suit is commenced; provided, further, that failure to give such
written notice shall not relieve any Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent
it shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure.

     (b) An Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant
hereto to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice and to
pay such amount to such Indemnified Party in immediately available funds or (ii) provide such
Indemnified Party with written notice that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination
set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after the
giving of any Dispute Notice, a representative of the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter. In the event that the controversy is not resolved
within thirty (30) days of the giving of the
Dispute Notice, the Parties shall thereupon proceed to pursue any and all available remedies
at law. If the Indemnitor agrees to the Claim Notice pursuant to clause (i) above or fails to
provide a timely Dispute Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, then the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to receive the amount set forth in the Claim Notice.

-38-

 

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall not apply in the
case of a Claim Notice provided in connection with a claim by a third Person made against an
Indemnified Party, which claims are provided for by Section 8.6.

8.5 Mitigation; Exclusivity of Remedy.

     (a) Upon any Indemnified Party becoming aware of any claim as to which indemnification may be
sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 8, to the extent required by applicable
law, an Indemnified Party shall utilize all reasonable efforts, consistent with normal practices
and policies and good commercial practice, to mitigate such Losses.

     (b) From and after the Closing, the remedies in this Article 8 shall be the exclusive remedies
of the Parties with respect to any and all matters covered by this Agreement, except for the
remedies of specific performance, injunction and other equitable relief; provided, that, no Party
hereto shall be deemed to have waived any rights, claims, causes of action or remedies if and to
the extent such rights, claims, causes of action or remedies may not be waived under applicable
law, or fraud or knowing or intentional misrepresentation or omission is proven on the part of a
Party by another Party hereto.

8.6 Third Person Claims; Settlement.

     (a) If a claim by a third Person (including any audit, notice or request for information from
a Tax Authority) is made against an Indemnified Party, and if such party intends to seek indemnity
with respect thereto under this Article 8, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify (i) Lulu
Holdco, in the case of indemnification sought by any Seller Indemnified Party, and (ii) Sellers, in
the case of indemnification sought by any Buyer Indemnified Party, in writing of such claims,
setting forth such claims in reasonable detail; provided, that failure to give such written notice
shall not relieve any Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent it shall have
been materially prejudiced by such failure.

     (b) An Indemnitor shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to undertake,
conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or
defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; but
undertaking, conducting or controlling the settlement thereof will not constitute an admission of
liability under this Indemnity. The Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or
defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party and paid at its own expense; provided
that, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such Indemnified Party, there is a reasonable
likelihood of a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnitor shall indemnify for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to such Indemnified
Party in connection with such defense. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnified Party in
writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s written notice of a third
party claim that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to undertake the defense or prosecution of the claim through counsel of its own choice, and
the Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and expenses incurred
in connection with such defense or prosecution, but the Indemnified Party shall not thereby waive
any right to indemnity therefore pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent required hereby, the
Indemnitor shall pay the Indemnified Party’s expenses as and when incurred.

     (c) No Party shall settle or compromise any third party claim without the prior written
consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

-39-

 

8.7 Calculation of Losses.

     (a) The amount of any Loss taken into account for all purposes under this Article 8 shall be
reduced by any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policies in effect
prior to the Closing Date. With respect to any such insurance policies and subject to the terms
thereof, (i) each Company Entity agrees not to cancel or terminate prior to the end of their then
current term any of such policies (including any directors and officers liability coverage) the
premiums for which have been paid in full by the Closing Date, and (ii) the Indemnitor shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Company Entities thereunder to the extent of payments made by such
Indemnitor.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything in Article 8 to the contrary, no Indemnified Party or its
successors or assigns shall have any right or entitlement to indemnification from an Indemnitor for
any Losses relating to any matter arising under the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent
that any such Indemnified Party or its successors and assigns had already recovered Losses with
respect to the same matter pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or the Canadian
Purchase Agreement, and such Indemnified Parties shall be deemed to have waived and released any
claims for such Losses and shall not be entitled to assert any such claim for indemnification for
such Losses.

     (c) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided shall be reduced to take
account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the
incurrence or payment of any such Loss. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, the
Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or
credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or
the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss. The present value of any tax benefits to be
realized in the future shall be reasonably estimated by the Parties for purposes of this Section
8.7(c). If the Parties are unable to agree on such present value, the matter shall be referred to
the Settlement Accountants whose reasonably estimation of such present value shall be binding on
the Parties.

     (d) For purposes of determining the amount of Losses resulting from a breach by Sellers or USA
of a representation or warranty, but not whether the breach itself has occurred, any materiality
qualification or limitation contained in the applicable representation or warranty (whether by the
terms “material” or “materiality” or by reference to a “Material Adverse Effect,” a “Material
Adverse Change,” or words of similar meaning) shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Expenses; Taxes. Each of the Parties shall bear and pay all direct costs and expenses incurred by it or on its
behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, including filing, registration and
application fees, printing fees, and fees and expenses of its own financial or other consultants,
investment bankers, accountants, and counsel. All sales, goods and services use, transfer,
intangible, recordation, documentary stamp or similar taxes or charges of any nature whatsoever,
applicable to, or resulting from, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by
USA.

9.2 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement (including the documents,
Exhibits and instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder and supersedes all prior arrangements or
understandings with respect thereto, written or oral (except as to Section 6.4(a), for the
Confidentiality Agreement and Article 8, for Canadian Purchase Agreement). Nothing in this
Agreement expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (including any employee of
any Company Entity), other than the Parties or their respective successors, any rights, remedies,
obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, other than as provided in Article
8 with respect to Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties.

9.3 Waivers and Amendments.

     (a) The Advent Funds, on behalf of all of the Buyers, shall have the right to waive any
Default in the performance of any term of this Agreement by Sellers or USA, to waive or extend the
time for the compliance, performance or fulfillment by Sellers or USA of any and all of his or its
obligations under this Agreement, and to waive any or all of the conditions precedent to the
obligations of Buyers under this Agreement, except any condition which, if not satisfied, would
result in the violation of any Law. No such waiver shall be effective unless in writing signed by
the Advent Funds holding a majority of the Non-Participating Preferred Stock then held by all
Advent Funds.

     (b) DW, on behalf of itself and the other Sellers, shall have the right to waive any Default
in the performance of any term of this Agreement by Buyers, to waive or extend the time for the
compliance, performance or fulfillment by Buyers of any and all of its obligations under this
Agreement, and to waive any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of Buyer under
this Agreement, except any condition which, if not satisfied, would result in the violation of any
Law. No such waiver shall be effective unless in writing signed by DW.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be modified, amended, supplemented
or discharged except expressly by an instrument in writing signed by (i) the Advent Funds, on their
own and Buyers’ behalf, and (ii) DW, on behalf of itself and the Sellers and USA; provided however,
that any amendment, modification or waiver that treats any Party (the “Adversely Affected
Party”) in a manner which is disproportionate and adverse relative to its treatment of the
other Parties or changes the number of shares of stock acquired by a Party pursuant to Section 2.1
shall require the consent of the Adversely Affected Party.

     (d) In addition to the approvals required under Section 9.3(c), Sections 6.7 and 9.3(d) cannot
be amended, modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by (i) the Highland Funds
holding a majority of the Non-Preferred Stock then held by all Highland Funds and (ii) GPE V-A.

     (e) The failure of any Party at any time or times to require performance of any provision
hereof shall in no manner affect the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the same or any
other provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any condition or of the breach of any term
contained in this

-41-

 

Agreement in one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a
further or continuing waiver of such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of
the breach of any other term of this Agreement.

9.4 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any Party hereto without the consent of all other
Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Buyer may transfer or assign in whole or in part its
rights or obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided
that, no such transfer or assignment will relieve the transferring Party of any of its obligations
hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and provision of this Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.

9.5 Notices. All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and sufficient if delivered by hand, by facsimile transmission, by registered or certified
mail, postage pre-paid, or by courier or overnight carrier, to the Persons at the addresses set
forth below (or at such other address as may be provided hereunder), and shall be deemed to have

delivered by a recognized next-day courier service, or (c) on the fifth Business Day following the
date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage

9.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

     (a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. Regardless of any conflict of law or
choice of law principles that might otherwise apply, the Parties agree that this Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
The Parties all expressly agree and acknowledge that the State of Delaware has a reasonable
relationship to the Parties and/or this Agreement. As to any dispute, claim, or litigation arising
out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or the transaction at issue in this Agreement, the
Parties hereto hereby agree and consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state
and federal courts located in Delaware. Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by Law, (a) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to laying
venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in such court, (b) any claim that any suit, action
or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (c) any defense
that it may now or hereafter have based on lack of personal jurisdiction in such forum.

     (b) WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL, EACH OF THE PARTIES
HEREBY AGREES THAT IT WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY

-43-

 

JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

9.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.8 Interpretations. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved
against any Party, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. No Party to this Agreement
shall be considered the draftsman. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been
reviewed, negotiated, and accepted by all Parties and their attorneys and shall be construed and
interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as fairly to accomplish the
purposes and intentions of all Parties hereto.

9.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability
without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or
affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any
other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the
provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
