(b) Seller shall notify Buyer in writing as soon as practicable, and in no event more than twenty (20) days, following receipt of the Working Capital Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Statement if it does not agree with the Closing Date Managed Services Amount, the Closing Date Working Capital and/or the determination of the Final Excess Amount or the Final Deficiency Amount, as the case may be, set forth thereon, in which case Buyer and Buyer’s Accountant, on the one hand, and Seller and Seller’s Accountant, on the other, shall use their good faith efforts during the ten (10) day period following the date Buyer received such notice from Seller to resolve any differences they may have as to the Closing Date Managed Services Amount, the Closing Date Working Capital and/or the determination of the Final Excess Amount or the Final Deficiency Amount, as the case may be. If Seller fails to notify Buyer in writing within such twenty (20) day period that it does not agree with the Closing Date Managed Services Amount, the Closing Date Working Capital and/or the determination of the Final Excess Amount or the Final Deficiency Amount, as the case may be, set forth on the Closing Date Statement, then the Closing Date Managed Services Amount, the Closing Date Working Capital and the determination of the Final Excess Amount or the Final Deficiency Amount, as the case may be, reflected therein, shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and shall become final and binding.

(c) If Seller disagrees with the Closing Date Managed Services Amount, the Closing Date Working Capital and/or the determination of the Final Excess Amount or the Final Deficiency Amount, as the case may be, then such written notice will identify with reasonable specificity the calculations with which Seller disagrees or Seller’s other bases for such disagreement. If Seller and Buyer cannot reach agreement during the ten (10) day period, they shall submit their disagreements within ten (10) days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period to the Independent Accountant, which shall conduct such additional review as it deems necessary to resolve the specific disagreements referred to it and, based thereon, shall determine the Closing Date Managed Services Amount, the Closing Date Working Capital and/or the determination of the Final Excess Amount or the Final Deficiency Amount, as the case may be. The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and, in resolving the disagreements referred to it, shall review the disagreements referred to it in accordance with the principles and methodologies set forth in this Section 2.7. The review of the Independent Accountant will be restricted as to scope to address only those matters as to which Seller and Buyer have not reached agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Independent Accountant’s determination of the Closing Date Managed Services Amount, the Closing Date Working Capital and/or the determination of the Final Excess Amount or the Final Deficiency Amount, as the case may be, which shall be completed as promptly as practicable but in no event later than twenty (20) days following its engagement pursuant to this Section 2.7, shall be confirmed by the Independent Accountant in writing to, and shall be final and binding on, each of Seller and Buyer for all purposes.

(d) Fees, Costs and Expenses of Independent Accountant.

(i) If the Closing Date Managed Services Amount as determined by the Independent Accountant is closer to the Closing Date Managed Services Amount advocated by (i) Seller than it is to the Closing Date Managed Services Amount advocated by Buyer, then Buyer shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant for services rendered pursuant to this Section 2.7, or (ii) Buyer than it is to the Closing Date Managed Services Amount advocated by Seller, then Seller shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant for services rendered pursuant to this Section 2.7; provided, however, that if the Closing Date Managed Services Amount advocated by Buyer is less than 10% higher or lower than the Closing Date Managed Services Amount advocated by Seller, then Seller and Buyer shall each pay 50% of the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant for such services.

(ii) If the Closing Date Working Capital as determined by the Independent Accountant is closer to the Closing Date Working Capital advocated by (i) Seller than it is to the Closing Date Working Capital advocated by Buyer, then Buyer shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant for services rendered pursuant to this Section 2.7, or (ii) Buyer than it is to the Closing

Date Working Capital advocated by Seller, then Seller shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant for services rendered pursuant to this Section 2.7; provided, however, that if the Closing Date Working Capital advocated by Buyer is less than 10% higher or lower than the Closing Date Working Capital advocated by Seller, then Seller and Buyer shall each pay 50% of the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant for such services.

(iii) If both the Closing Date Managed Services Amount and the Closing Date Working Capital are disputed, then the differences between the amounts advocated by each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, as compared to the Independent Accountant, shall be aggregated and the Party who has advocated a greater aggregate difference shall pay the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant for the services rendered pursuant to this Section 2.7; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount advocated by Buyer is less than 10% higher or lower than the aggregate amount advocated by Seller, then Seller and Buyer shall each pay 50% of the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant for such services.

(e) If the Final Managed Services Amount is greater than the Managed Services Transfer Amount, then Seller shall, no later than three (3) Business Days following the date of such final determination (the “Managed Services Determination Date”), pay to Buyer (or such Affiliate(s) of Buyer as Buyer may direct) an amount equal to the difference between the Final Managed Services Amount and the Managed Services Transfer Amount.

(f) If the Final Managed Services Amount is less than the Managed Services Transfer Amount, then Buyer shall, no later than three (3) Business Days following the Managed Services Determination Date, pay to Seller (or such Affiliate(s) of Seller as Seller may direct), an amount equal to the difference between the Managed Services Transfer Amount and the Final Managed Services Amount.

(g) If (i) the Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Final Target Working Capital and (ii) (A) there was an Estimated Deficiency Amount or (B) there was an Estimated Excess Amount the amount of which is less than the amount by which the Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Final Target Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay to Seller, no later than three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Closing Date Working Capital becomes final and binding in accordance with the terms hereof, an amount equal to (1) the amount by which the Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Final Target Working Capital minus (2) the Estimated Excess Amount, if any, plus (3) the Estimated Deficiency Amount, if any.

(h) If (i) the Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Final Target Working Capital and (ii) there was an Estimated Excess Amount the amount of which is greater than the amount by which the Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Final Target Working Capital, then Seller shall pay to Buyer, no later than three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Closing Date Working Capital becomes final and binding in accordance with the terms hereof, an amount equal to (1) the Estimated Excess Amount minus (2) the amount by which the Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Final Target Working Capital.

(i) If (i) the Final Target Working Capital is greater than the Closing Date Working Capital and (ii) (A) there was an Estimated Excess Amount or (B) there was an Estimated Deficiency Amount the amount of which is less than the amount by which the Final Target Working Capital is greater than the Closing Date Working Capital, then Seller shall pay to Buyer, no later than three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Closing Date Working Capital becomes final and binding in accordance with the terms hereof, an amount equal to (1) the amount by which the Final Target Working Capital is greater than the Closing Date Working Capital minus (2) the Estimated Deficiency Amount, if any, plus (3) the Estimated Excess Amount, if any (such amount, or the amount payable pursuant to Section 2.7(h) being referred to herein as the “Final Deficiency Amount”).

(j) If (i) the Final Target Working Capital is greater than the Closing Date Working Capital and (ii) there was an Estimated Deficiency Amount the amount of which is greater than the amount by which the Final Target Working Capital is greater than the Closing Date Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay to

Seller, no later than three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Closing Date Working Capital becomes final and binding in accordance with the terms hereof, an amount equal to (1) the Estimated Deficiency Amount minus (2) the amount by which the Final Target Working Capital is greater than the Closing Date Working Capital (such amount, or the amount payable pursuant to Section 2.7(g) being referred to herein as the “Final Excess Amount”).

(k) Estimated Target Working Capital, Estimated Working Capital, Final Target Working Capital and Closing Date Working Capital shall each be calculated consistent with Seller’s historical accounting principles, methods, practices and categories.

2.10 Transfer of Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities.

(a) The entire beneficial interest in and to, and the risk of loss with respect to, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities shall pass to Buyer when the legal title thereto shall be transferred to Buyer.

(b) Subject to Section 2.7 hereof, if the legal interest or legal title to or in any of the Purchased Assets to be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed pursuant to this Acquisition Agreement, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, cannot be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed hereunder as of the Effective Time because any waiting or notice period has not expired or any consents or approvals required for such transfer have not been obtained or waived, then the legal interest in such Purchased Assets shall not be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed at the Effective Time.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not affect the right of Buyer not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement if the condition to its obligations hereunder

contained in Section 7.4 has not been fulfilled. Nothing in this Acquisition Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to assign to Buyer any legal interest in any of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities which, as a matter of Law or by the terms of any legally binding Contract to which Seller is subject, is not assignable without the consent of any other party, unless such consent shall have been given.

2.11 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, the Parties shall, without payment of any further consideration, do such acts and timely execute and deliver such documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to make effective the transactions contemplated hereby.

All Other Confidential Information reviewed by Buyer, its Affiliates or their representatives in connection with this Acquisition Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be kept confidential and shall not (except as required by applicable judicial order, regulation or law, and only after compliance with this Section 6.8(b)), be disclosed or used by Buyer, its Affiliates or its representatives without Seller’s prior written consent; provided, however, that the term “Other Confidential Information” does not include information that would otherwise constitute Other Confidential Information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Acquisition Agreement by Buyer or any of its Representatives or (ii) is or becomes known by Buyer from a source (other than Seller or its Representatives) that is not, to the knowledge of Buyer, any of its Representatives, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Subsidiaries’ Representatives, prohibited from disclosing such information to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives by a contractual, fiduciary or other obligation to Seller (provided that, for avoidance of doubt, Buyer and its Subsidiaries will inquire from any such source whether it is prohibited from disclosing to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries information that would otherwise constitute Other Confidential Information by a contractual, fiduciary or other obligation to Seller). With respect to Other Confidential Information, as soon as practicable following Closing: (i) Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective representatives to either (x) promptly destroy or cause the destruction of all copies of the written or electronic Other Confidential Information (including any copies thereof or extracts therefrom), in Buyer’s, its Affiliates’ or their respective representatives’ possession and confirm such destruction to Seller in writing or (y) promptly deliver to the disclosing Seller at Buyer’s own expense all copies of the written and electronic Other Confidential Information; and (ii) Buyer shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) keep confidential and shall not use any Other Confidential Information unless required to disclose such information or documents pursuant to judicial order, regulation or law, and only after compliance with this Section 6.8(b). If Buyer or any of its Affiliates or representatives is requested pursuant to, or required by applicable law, regulation or legal proceedings to disclose any Other Confidential Information, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) promptly notify Seller in writing so Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Seller’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Section 6.8 in such instance, and (ii) provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Seller in opposing or limiting the compelled or required disclosure. If no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or Seller waives compliance with the terms of this Section 6.8 in such instance, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish only that portion of the Other Confidential Information, which Buyer is advised by counsel is legally required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information and documents.

Act to be disclosed by Seller) be disclosed by Seller or its Subsidiaries without Buyer’s prior written consent; provided, however, that the term “Seller Confidential Information” does not include information that would otherwise constitute Seller Confidential Information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Acquisition Agreement by Seller or any of its Representatives or (ii) is or becomes known by Seller from a source (other than Buyer or its Representatives) that is not, to the knowledge of Seller, any of its Representatives, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Subsidiaries’ Representatives, prohibited from disclosing such information to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives by a contractual, fiduciary or other obligation to Buyer (provided that, for avoidance of doubt, Seller and its Subsidiaries will inquire from any such source whether it is prohibited from disclosing to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries information that would otherwise constitute Seller Confidential Information by a contractual, fiduciary or other obligation to Buyer). If Seller or any of its Affiliates or representatives is requested pursuant to, or required by applicable law, regulation or legal proceedings to disclose any Seller Confidential Information, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) promptly notify Buyer in writing so that Buyer may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Section 6.8 in such instance, and (ii) provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Buyer in opposing or limiting the compelled or required disclosure. If no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that Buyer waives compliance with the terms of this Section 6.8 in such instance, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish only that portion of the Seller Confidential Information, which Seller is advised by counsel is legally required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information and documents.

(d) The Parties agree that no press release or other public statement concerning the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Acquisition Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued or made without the prior written approval of both Seller and Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as required by the rules of any national securities exchange, national securities association or over-the-counter market, foreign or domestic, as applicable, or applicable Law, in

which case the Party making such disclosure will first provide to the other Party the text of the proposed disclosure, the reasons such disclosure is required and the time and manner in which the disclosure is intended to be made.

6.9 Cooperation. On or after the Closing Date, the Parties shall, on request, cooperate with one another by furnishing any additional information, executing and delivering any additional documents and instruments, including contract assignments and doing any and all such other things as may be reasonably required by the Parties or their counsel to consummate or otherwise implement the transactions contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement. In connection with the Liabilities assumed by Buyer and the Liabilities retained by Seller pursuant to this Acquisition Agreement, each of the Parties hereto shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and employees to, aid, cooperate with and assist the other Party in their defense of such assumed or retained Liabilities, by, among other things, providing such other Party with full access to pertinent records at such times as such other party or parties may reasonably request. With respect to the assignment of Intellectual Property, Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate for the purposes of transferring the responsibility to administer and maintain the Intellectual Property to Buyer, including but not limited to the furnishing to Buyer of all material computer files, correspondence, and other records relating to the taxes, renewals, and all other filings and maintenance relating to the Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor Buyer will be obligated to compromise any right, asset or benefit or provide any other consideration under any Contract to any third party in connection with its obligations under this Section 6.9.

Within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify, in writing, all customers, suppliers and financial institutions having current business relationships with Seller (in respect of the ICS Business) that the ICS Business has been acquired from Seller by Buyer.

6.11 Other Offers.

(a) Subject to Section 6.11(b), from the date of this Acquisition Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Acquisition Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2, Seller shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Representatives, Affiliates, Subsidiaries, or any of their respective

officers, directors or employees of, or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative (collectively, “Representatives”) to (i) directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or any other similar agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with Section 6.11(b) of this Acquisition Agreement) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (each, a “Third Party Acquisition Agreement”) or (iii) directly or indirectly participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any non-public information with respect to, or knowingly take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.11(a), at any time after the date of this Acquisition Agreement and prior to the receipt of the Seller Stockholder Approval, Seller may, in response to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal which did not result from a breach of Section 6.11(a), (i) furnish information with respect to Seller and its Affiliates to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to a customary confidentiality and standstill agreement not less restrictive of the other party than the Confidentiality Agreement, except that such confidentiality and standstill agreement between Seller and such Person shall not contain any provisions that would prevent Seller from complying with its obligations to provide the required disclosure to Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.11 and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person and its Representatives regarding any Acquisition Proposal, if the Seller Board (A) believes in good faith the Acquisition Proposal to be bona fide, (B) determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a qualified financial advisor) that the unsolicited Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, (C) determines that the failure to take any of the above actions would not be consistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Seller under applicable Law and (D) complies in all material respects with the requirements set forth in Section 6.11(e); provided, however, that Seller shall promptly provide to Buyer any material non-public information concerning Seller or any of its Affiliates that is provided to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or its Representatives which was not previously provided to Buyer. Upon execution of this Acquisition Agreement, Seller, its Representatives, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person previously conducted with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and will request, to the extent permitted under the applicable confidentiality agreement, the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information previously furnished to such Persons that has not been previously returned to Seller. Seller shall ensure that its Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 6.11, and any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.11 by the Seller Board (including any committee thereof) or its Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.11 by Seller.

(c) (i) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.11(c), (A) the Seller Board and any committee thereof shall not (1) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Buyer, its Seller Board Recommendation (the “Seller Withdrawal Recommendation”) or (2) approve or recommend or propose publicly to approve or recommend to the holders of Seller Common Stock and Seller Series B Stock, or otherwise permit or cause Seller to accept or enter into, an Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (A) being referred to as a “Seller Adverse Recommendation Change”), (B) neither Seller nor any of its subsidiaries shall approve, recommend, publicly propose or enter into any Third Party Acquisition Agreement, (C) neither Seller nor any of its subsidiaries shall release any third party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality and standstill agreement to which Seller is a party except to the extent the Seller Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to so waive the applicable provisions of a confidentiality or standstill agreement would not be consistent with the Seller Board’s fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Seller under applicable Law, and (D) neither the Seller Board nor any committee thereof shall agree or resolve to take any actions set forth in clause (A), (B) or (C) of this sentence. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Seller Stockholder Approval, subject to Section 6.11(d), if the Seller Board (A) receives an Acquisition Proposal that has not resulted from a breach of Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.11 and that it determines in good faith

(after consultation with outside legal counsel and a qualified financial advisor) constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (B) determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that failure to take any of the following actions would not be consistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Seller under applicable Law, then the Seller Board may (x) make a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (y) cause Seller to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if Seller shall have concurrently with entering into such Third Party Acquisition Agreement terminated this Acquisition Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(viii).

(d) If the Seller Board determines to effect a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change as provided in Section 6.11(c)(ii)(B)(x) or to authorize Seller to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal as provided in Section 6.11(c)(ii)(B)(y), such Seller Adverse Recommendation Change or Third Party Acquisition Agreement (as applicable) may only become effective after the end of the fifth (5th) day following Buyer’s receipt of written notice from Seller (a “Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising Buyer that the Seller Board intends to effect such Seller Adverse Recommendation Change, or to authorize Seller to enter into such Third Party Acquisition Agreement, which notice shall contain a copy of the Superior Proposal to which such Seller Adverse Recommendation Change or Third Party Acquisition Agreement relates; provided that any material amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal after the initial Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice shall require a new Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice and restart the five (5) day period referred to above. In determining whether to effect a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change or to cause the Seller to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement in response to a Superior Proposal, in each case, as provided in Section 6.11(c), the Seller Board shall negotiate in good faith with Buyer and its Representatives (to the extent Buyer desires to negotiate) with respect to any offer from Buyer and take into account in good faith any changes to the terms of this Acquisition Agreement proposed by Buyer (in response to a Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice or otherwise) in determining whether such Acquisition Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(e) Seller shall, within 48 hours of receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, advise Buyer orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal, and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal and the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal. Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of the status (including any change to the terms thereof) of any such Acquisition Proposal.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.11 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit Seller from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure other than (x) a “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of Seller pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the stockholders of Seller), (y) an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or (z) an express reaffirmation of the Seller Board Recommendation to the stockholders of Seller to vote in favor of a resolution approving the transactions contemplated herein, shall be deemed to be a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) making any disclosure to Seller’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Seller Board after consultation with outside counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with applicable Law; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller or the Seller Board or any committee thereof take, agree or resolve to take any action prohibited by Section 6.11(c). Seller shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal prior to the termination of this Acquisition Agreement.

(g) For purposes of this Acquisition Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any written inquiry, proposal or offer relating to a possible (A) amalgamation, merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction involving the ICS Business or Seller, other than an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving Seller but not involving the Purchased Assets or Assets to which Buyer receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement; (B) sale, lease or other disposition, directly or indirectly (including by way of merger, consolidation, share or unit exchange or otherwise) of any of the Purchased Assets or Assets of which Buyer receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement, other than the sale, lease or other disposition of the Purchased Assets used, consumed, replaced or sold in the Ordinary

Course; (C) issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share or unit exchange or otherwise) Seller’s securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) other than option grants to employees of Seller in the Ordinary Course of the ICS Business or any issuance, sale or other disposition that will close after the Closing Date and shall not preclude the consummation of the Closing; (D) liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other similar type of transaction with respect to Seller other than any of the Purchased Assets or Assets of which Buyer receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement or any such transaction that will close after the Closing Date and shall not preclude the consummation of the Closing; (E) transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions; or (F) public announcement of an agreement, proposal, plan or intent to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the term “Acquisition Proposal” will not include (X) the transactions contemplated hereby or (Y) any transaction not involving the Purchased Assets or Assets to which Buyer receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide Acquisition Proposal, including any Acquisition Proposal relating solely to the ICS Business Segment, made by a third party (A) on terms which the Seller Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Seller’s outside legal counsel and qualified financial advisors, to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of Seller Common Stock and Seller Series B Stock than the transactions contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal, and this Acquisition Agreement (including any proposal by Buyer to amend the terms of this Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement), (B) that is not subject to a financing condition (and if financing is required, such financing is then fully committed to the third party), (C) that includes termination rights of the third party on terms no less favorable to Seller than the terms set forth in this Acquisition Agreement, and (D) that, in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Seller Board is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal, without unreasonable delay, all from a third party capable of performing such terms; provided that the Seller Board shall not so determine that any such proposal is a Superior Proposal prior to complying in all material respects with Section 6.11(e) with respect to such proposal.

6.12 Delivery of Monthly Financials. Until the Closing Date, Seller shall, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month, prepare and deliver to Buyer (a) an accounts receivable aging report of Seller (in respect of the ICS Business) as of the end of such calendar month, (b) an unaudited income statement of Seller (in respect of the ICS Business) for such calendar month and (c) a list of each Seller transaction (in respect of the ICS Business) with a value of $20,000 that occurred during such month.

6.13 Non-Compete and Non-Solicit Provisions.

(a) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not and will cause its Subsidiaries not to own an interest in, operate, join, control, advise, work for, consult to, have a financial interest which provides any control of, or participate in any Person producing, designing, providing, soliciting orders for, selling, distributing, consulting to, or marketing or remarketing products or services competitive with or in substantially the same line of business as the ICS Business, or any part thereof, as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing will not restrict or prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from (i) maintaining and/or undertaking passive investments in less than 5% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation or (ii) engaging in the Continuing Business.

(b) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not and will cause its Subsidiaries not to take any action, formal or informal, direct or indirect, to (A) induce any employee of Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates) to terminate his or her employment with Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates), or attempt to interfere with the relationship or prospective relationship between Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates) and any creditor, licensee, customer, prospective customer, employee or other party; provided, however, that Seller shall not be

restricted from making general solicitations of employment (including the use of general advertisements and recruiting agencies) not specifically directed at the employees of Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates) and hiring any person (a) who responds thereto, or (b) whose employment has been previously terminated by Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates).

(c) Seller acknowledges that the periods of restriction, the geographical areas of restriction and the restraints imposed by the provisions of Sections 6.13(a) and (b) and Section 6.8(c) are fair and reasonably required for the protection of Buyer. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of Section 6.13(a) or (b) or Section 6.8(c) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Acquisition Agreement will be enforceable against Seller as so modified. Each Party hereto agrees that any violation of the covenants contained in Section 6.13(a) or (b) or Section 6.8(c) is likely to cause irreparable damage to Buyer; therefore, in addition to any other remedies the Buyer may have under this Acquisition Agreement or otherwise, the Buyer will be entitled to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining Seller from violating the covenant or any of its Affiliates from committing or continuing any violation of Section 6.13(a), or (b) or Section 6.8(c), and Seller shall not contest such injunctive relief on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at law for any such violation or threatened violation of this Section 6.13 or Section 6.8(c).

(d) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall not and will cause its Subsidiaries not to take any action, formal or informal, direct or indirect, to (A) induce any employee of Seller (or of any of its Affiliates) to terminate his or her employment with Seller (or of any of its Affiliates), or attempt to interfere with the relationship or prospective relationship between Seller (or of any its Affiliates) and any creditor, licensee, customer, prospective customer, employee or other party; provided, however, that Parent shall not be restricted from making general solicitations of employment (including the use of general advertisements and recruiting agencies) not specifically directed at the employees of Seller (or of any of its Affiliates) and hiring any person (a) who responds thereto, or (b) whose employment has been previously terminated by Seller (or of any of its Affiliates).

(e) Parent acknowledges that the periods of restriction and the restraints imposed by the provisions of Section 6.13(d) are fair and reasonably required for the protection of Seller. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of Section 6.13(d) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Acquisition Agreement will be enforceable against Parent as so modified. Each Party hereto agrees that any violation of the covenants contained in Section 6.13(d) is likely to cause irreparable damage to Seller; therefore, in addition to any other remedies Seller may have under this Acquisition Agreement or otherwise, Seller will be entitled to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining Parent from violating the covenant or any of its Affiliates from committing or continuing any violation of Section 6.13(d), and Parent shall not contest such injunctive relief on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at law for any such violation or threatened violation of Section 6.13(d).

6.14 Licenses and Permits; Buyout and Accounting Process & System Assistance.

(a) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist Buyer and its Affiliates (i) in transferring all transferrable Licenses and Permits to Buyer or its designated Affiliate to the extent such Licenses and Permits are not necessary or desirable for Seller after the Closing, (ii) in obtaining for Buyer of its designated Affiliate, on a post-Closing basis, those Licenses and Permits as may be necessary to operate and conduct the ICS Business as now conducted or to occupy any premises in which the ICS

Business is operated or conducted, (iii) in negotiating in good faith with the applicable third parties buyout agreements, early termination agreements or similar agreements with respect to the Covered Equipment and the Covered Leases, and (iv) in negotiating in good faith with the applicable third parties agreements regarding Buyer’s use after the Closing of IP Licenses comparable to the IP Licenses of Seller (in respect of the ICS Business) for Third Party Software listed on Exhibit 6.14, including with respect to the aggregate number of users authorized pursuant to each such license.

(b) Each of Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith with one another to cause the creation and verify the operation of a stand-alone accounting process and system to separately record and report on financial information with respect to the ICS Business in a manner allowing Buyer to comply with all applicable requirements (including reporting requirements) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, in respect of the ICS Business (such accounting process and system, the “ICS Business Accounting and Process System”).

Seller shall make all of its work papers and other reasonably relevant documents in connection with the preparation of the Prior Month End Balance Sheet and the PME Statement available to Buyer and shall make the persons in charge of the preparation of the Prior Month End Balance Sheet and PME Statement available for reasonable inquiry by Buyer.

6.17 Voting Agreements. Seller represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that, as of the date of this Agreement, Seller has obtained executed Voting Agreements, each in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2 hereto, as the case may be, from Approving Stockholders providing for irrevocable voting proxies for an aggregate of not less than 48% of the outstanding voting power of Seller in favor of the Seller Stockholder Approval at the Seller Stockholder Meeting.

ARTICLE VIII

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF SELLER

The obligation of Seller to proceed with the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions precedent, any of which may be waived in whole or in part by Seller:

8.1 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties made by each of Buyer and Parent in this Acquisition Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects (if and to the extent modified by the term “material,” “in all material respects,” “material adverse effect” or any other similar qualification based upon materiality) or in all material respects (if and to the extent not modified by any such qualification) on and as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (other than those made as of a specified date earlier than the Closing Date in which case each such representation or warranty shall have been so true and correct on and as of such earlier date); provided, however, that this Section 8.1 shall not prohibit or modify Seller’s post-Closing right to be indemnified by Buyer and Parent, and Buyer’s and Parent’s post-Closing obligation to indemnify Seller, pursuant to Section 9.2(b) for breaches of representations or warranties as of the execution of this Acquisition Agreement or as of the Closing Date.

8.2 Performance of Obligations. Buyer shall have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it under this Acquisition Agreement at or prior to the Closing.

8.3 Officer’s Certificate. Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the Closing a certificate of an officer of Buyer certifying that the conditions stated in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 have been fulfilled.

8.4 No Contrary Judgment. On the Closing Date there shall exist no valid judicial order which prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement.

8.5 Seller Stockholder Approval. The Seller Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX, and notwithstanding the closing conditions set forth in Section 7.1, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its managers, members, officers and employees (in their capacity as such), and its and their Affiliates and agents (in all, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly, in connection with, arising from or as a result of:

(a) any material breach of any of the covenants made in this Acquisition Agreement by Seller or any of its Affiliates;

(b) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made in this Acquisition Agreement by Seller;

(d) the Retained Liabilities;

(e) the ownership and operation of the Continuing Business following the Closing; or

(f) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or criminal acts committed by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date.

9.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX, Buyer and Parent shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its and directors, shareholders, officers and employees (in their capacity as such), and their Affiliates and agents against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with, arising from or as a result of:

(a) any material breach of any of the covenants made in this Acquisition Agreement by Buyer, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates;

(b) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Acquisition Agreement by Buyer or Parent;

(d) the ownership and operation of the ICS Business following the Closing (other than in respect of the Retained Liabilities); or

(e) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or criminal acts committed by or on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date.

9.3 Notice and Payment of Losses. Upon obtaining actual knowledge of any Loss, any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the Party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted and any other relevant information in the possession of the Indemnified Party (such written notice being hereinafter referred to as a “Notice of Claim”). If

the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim of indemnification, it shall notify the Indemnified Party thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim. If the dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the parties first meet to attempt such resolution, either party may initiate litigation in accordance with this Acquisition Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the Indemnified Party’s claim of indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of any valid claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Notice of Claim. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date (such date, the “Escrow Expiration Date”), any indemnification obligation of Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be satisfied first from the Escrow Fund and, if the Escrow Fund is insufficient or has been fully distributed, by Seller. After the Escrow Expiration Date, any indemnification obligation of Seller pursuant to this Article IX shall be satisfied by Seller.

9.4 Defense of Third Party Claims. If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder because of a claim asserted by any claimant (other than an Indemnified Party hereunder) (“Third Person”), the Indemnified Party shall give a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly after such assertion is actually known to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of the claim alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”) at its sole cost and expense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party notified the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Person Claim; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of Seller or Buyer (in either case, in respect of the ICS Business), or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. After receiving notice of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense, unless separate representation is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall assume the reasonable fees and expenses of such representation. For the avoidance of doubt, a claim or challenge asserted by a Governmental Authority, including the IRS, against an Indemnified Party shall be considered a Third Person Claim hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party does not offer reasonable assurances to the Indemnified Party as to the Indemnifying Party’s financial capacity to satisfy any final judgment or settlement, following a request from the Indemnified Party for such assurances, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter on the same basis as the immediately preceding sentence. The failure of the Indemnifying Party to respond in writing to the Notice of Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof shall be deemed an election not to defend the same. If the Indemnifying Party does not so elect to indemnify and assume the defense of any such Third Person Claim, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim, in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim, after giving written notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and (b) the Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its own counsel at its own expense. The Parties shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession relating to any such Third Person Claim and shall cooperate in the defense thereof.

9.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties made by any Party in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV shall survive for a period of six months following the Closing Date, and thereafter to the extent a Notice of Claim is made within such period with respect to any breach of such representation or warranty occurring within such period and set out in such Notice of Claim; provided that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (c), Section 3.2, the first sentence of

Section 3.3(a), and Sections 3.25, 4.1(a) and (c), 4.2 and 4.3 hereof shall survive the Closing indefinitely and (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.8, 3.17, 3.21 and 3.22 hereof shall survive the Closing until 30 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the matters set forth therein. No party shall be entitled to indemnification for breach of any representation and warranty set forth in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV unless a Notice of Claim of such breach has been given to the Indemnifying Party within the period of survival of such representation and warranty as set forth herein.

9.6 Limitation on Indemnification.

(a) The provisions for indemnity under (i) Section 9.1(b) and Section 9.1(a) with respect to any material breach of Section 6.15, on the one hand, and (ii) Section 9.2(b), on the other hand, shall be effective only when the Losses for which indemnification is sought exceed U.S. $200,000 in the aggregate (the “Indemnification Basket”), in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for all of the Indemnified Party’s Losses in excess of the Indemnification Basket; provided, however, that the Indemnification Basket shall not apply in any manner whatsoever to any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.1(a) and (c), the first sentence of Section 3.2, and Sections 3.3(a), 3.8 and 3.25 and Sections 4.1(a) and (c), 4.2 and 4.3.

(b) The maximum amount of aggregate indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by a Party pursuant to Section 9.1(a) with respect to any material breach of Section 6.15, 9.1(b) or 9.2(b), as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to $2,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to claims based on fraud or any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.1(a) and (c), the first sentence of Section 3.2, and Sections 3.3(a), 3.8 and 3.25 and Sections 4.1(a) and (c), 4.2 and 4.3.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Acquisition Agreement to the contrary, no Liability, obligation, Contract or other matter shall constitute a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or entitle Buyer Indemnified Persons to indemnification hereunder, to the extent, but only to the extent, of the amount of such Liability, obligation, Contract or other matter was provided for in the Closing Date Statement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Acquisition Agreement to the contrary, (i) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person for (A) any Taxes (and related Losses) that are not Retained Liabilities (unless such Tax results from a breach by Seller of any covenant in Section 2.8), (B) Buyer’s allocable share of any transfer Taxes as provided under Section 2.8(a) (and related Losses) or (C) any Taxes resulting from any breach by Buyer of any covenant contained in Section 2.8 (and related Losses) and (ii) Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Person for (A) any Taxes (and related Losses) that are Retained Liabilities (unless such Tax results from a breach by Buyer of any covenant in Section 2.8), (B) Seller’s allocable share of any transfer Taxes as provided under Section 2.8(a) (and related Losses) or (C) any Taxes resulting from any breach by Seller of any covenant contained in Section 2.8 (and related Losses).

9.7 Characterization and Calculation of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Acquisition Agreement shall be considered, to the extent permissible under Law, as adjustments to the Closing Payment for all Tax purposes.

9.8 No Duplication of Losses. An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover any amount due hereunder more than once in respect of the same Loss.

9.9 Limitation on Set-off. Each of Buyer, on behalf of itself and each other Buyer Indemnified Person, and Seller, on behalf of itself, agrees it shall have the right to set off any unresolved indemnification claim pursuant to this Article IX against any payment due pursuant to this Acquisition Agreement or any Related Agreement.

9.10 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE IX shall provide the exclusive remedy for breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty set forth in this Acquisition Agreement, Related Agreements or any other agreement ancillary hereto executed pursuant to this Acquisition Agreement.

10.2 Termination; Termination Fee.

(a) This Acquisition Agreement may only be terminated

(i) by mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;

(ii) by Seller or Buyer, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before July 3, 2011; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Acquisition Agreement under this Section 10.2(a)(ii) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under this Acquisition Agreement resulted in the failure of the Closing to be consummated by such date;

(iii) by Seller or Buyer, upon the issuance of any final, nonappealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction precluding the consummation of the Closing or the transaction contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement or the Related Agreements (by injunction or otherwise), provided that the right to terminate this Acquisition Agreement under this Section 10.2(a)(iii) shall not be available to a Party if the issuance of such final, nonappealable order was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Acquisition Agreement;

(iv) by Buyer if Seller Stockholder Approval is not obtained within 90 days of execution of this Acquisition Agreement by the Parties;

(v) by Buyer, if a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred;

(vi) by Buyer, if Seller shall have willfully and materially breached the terms of Section 6.11 of this Acquisition Agreement in any respect adverse to Buyer;

(vii) by Buyer, if Seller has intentionally or recklessly breached any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Acquisition Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other breach, would cause any of the conditions in ARTICLE VII not to be satisfied;

(viii) by Seller, if Seller enters into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, in accordance with Section 6.11(c), provided, however, that Seller may only exercise this termination right if Seller has complied with its obligations under Section 6.11, including, without limitation, Section 6.11(d), and provided, further, that such termination shall not be effective unless concurrently therewith Seller fulfills its obligations under Section 10.2(c);

(ix) by Seller, if Buyer is in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Acquisition Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, would cause any of the conditions in ARTICLE VIII not to be satisfied; or

(x) by Buyer, in accordance with Section 6.2.

(b) If this Acquisition Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 10.2(a), written notice of such termination shall be given to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Acquisition Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than Section 6.8, this ARTICLE X and the Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with its terms, all of which shall survive termination of this Acquisition Agreement at any time) and there shall be no liability as a result thereof on the part of any Party hereto or their respective Affiliates, except (i) any liability of Seller as provided in Section 10.2(c), and (ii) any liability of any Party for fraud, bad faith or any breach of this Acquisition Agreement.

(c) (i) If this Acquisition Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(v), (vi), or (viii), then Seller shall, on the date of such termination, pay Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer a fee equal to the sum of:

(A) $1,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”), and

(B) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, actually documented and incurred or payable by or on behalf of Buyer in connection with or in anticipation of the transactions contemplated by this

Acquisition Agreement and the Related Agreements (whether before or after the date of this Acquisition Agreement), including all attorney’s fees, financial advisor’s fees, accountants’ fees and filing fees up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 (“Termination Expenses”).

(ii) If this Acquisition Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv) or Section 10.2(a)(vii), then Seller shall, on the date of such termination, pay Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer a fee equal to the Termination Expenses.

(d) Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the payment of the Termination Fee and/or Termination Expenses as contemplated by Section 10.2(c) is reasonable and not excessive in light of the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement. If Buyer has the right to receive the Termination Fee and/or Termination Expenses pursuant to Section 10.2(c), such Termination Fee and/or Termination Expenses shall be Buyer’s exclusive remedy for any breach by Seller other than for fraud or bad faith. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 10.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that, without these agreements, Buyer would not enter into this Acquisition Agreement. If Seller fails promptly to pay the Termination Fee and/or Termination Expenses and, in order to obtain such payment(s), Buyer commences a suit that results in a judgment against Seller for the Termination Fee or Termination Expenses, Seller shall pay to Buyer its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit.

10.3 Entire Agreement. This Acquisition Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. The Parties hereto agree to execute such additional transfer agreements as may be required by local law applicable to Seller; provided, however, that in the event of any conflicting provisions, the provisions of this Acquisition Agreement shall prevail.

10.4 Guaranty. Parent irrevocably guarantees each obligation of Buyer, and the full and timely performance by Buyer of its obligations under the provisions of this Acquisition Agreement. This is a guarantee of payment and performance, and not of collection, and Parent acknowledges and agrees that this guarantee is full and unconditional, and, subject to applicable law, no release or extinguishment of Buyer’s liabilities and obligations (other than in accordance with the terms of this Acquisition Agreement) will affect the continuing validity and enforceability of this guarantee. Parent hereby waives, for the benefit of Seller, (a) any right to require Seller as a condition of payment or performance of Parent to proceed against Buyer or pursue any other remedies whatsoever and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, except to the extent that any such defense is available to Buyer under this Acquisition Agreement or an Related Agreement. Parent understands that Seller is relying on this guarantee in entering into this Acquisition Agreement.

10.5 Severability. If any provision of this Acquisition Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any Party hereto under this Acquisition Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Acquisition Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) the remaining provisions of this Acquisition Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom.

10.6 Assignment; Binding Agreement. This Acquisition Agreement and various rights and obligations arising hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Acquisition Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be transferred, delegated, or assigned by the Parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other

Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except that Buyer shall have the right to transfer and assign its rights hereunder to any entity which is controlled by Buyer or by the Affiliates of Buyer. No such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any Liability or obligation hereunder.

10.7 Counterparts. This Acquisition Agreement may be executed simultaneously in multiple counterparts, and in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.8 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided below or elsewhere herein, each Party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Acquisition Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants.

(b) Matters disclosed pursuant to one section of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed disclosed with respect to any other section of such Disclosure Schedules to the extent it is reasonably apparent on the face of such schedule that the matters so disclosed are applicable to such other section. The inclusion of any information in any section of the Disclosure Schedules or other document delivered by any of the Parties pursuant to this Acquisition Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

10.10 Governing Law. This Acquisition Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts to be carried out wholly within such State.

10.11 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Party to this Acquisition Agreement consents to submit to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Acquisition Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Acquisition Agreement in any other court. Each Party to this Acquisition Agreement agrees not to assert in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Acquisition Agreement that the venue is improper, waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto.

10.12 No Waiver. No disclosure of information made in this Acquisition Agreement or required to be made pursuant to this Acquisition Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of the Attorney-Client privilege or Work Product doctrine, or to the extent such disclosure could be so construed, the Parties shall enter into a mutually acceptable agreement to protect such disclosure.

10.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries or Other Rights. Nothing herein shall grant to or create in any Person not a party hereto, or any such Person’s Affiliates, any right to any benefits hereunder, and no such party shall be entitled to sue either Party to this Acquisition Agreement with respect thereto. The representations and warranties contained in this Acquisition Agreement are made for purposes of this Acquisition Agreement only and shall not be construed to confer any additional rights on the Parties under applicable state or federal or foreign securities laws.

10.14 Amendment and Waiver. Subject to Section 6.2, any provision of this Acquisition Agreement may be amended or waived only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Seller and Buyer, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
