     2.2 Purchase Price; Allocation of Payments. The purchase price to be paid by the Buyer to the Target Stockholders for the Shares shall equal the Initial Payment Amount, plus any Earnout Payment, where:
     (a) The “Initial Payment Amount” shall equal $54,050,000. At Closing, as set forth in Section 3.1, the Initial Payment Amount shall be allocated to and shall be distributable to the Target Stockholders pursuant to the Target Allocation Percentages set forth on Exhibit A, it being understood that as to any stockholder of a Target Entity, the Target Allocation Percentage shall be equal to the product of (i) the percentage of the outstanding common stock of such Target Entity that is held of record by such stockholder immediately prior to the Closing, multiplied by (ii) 0.5; and
     (b) Any Earnout Payment, up to a maximum amount of Two Million Four Hundred Thousand ($2,400,000), payable pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement, shall be paid to the Target Stockholders pursuant to the Target Allocation Percentages set forth on Exhibit A.
     2.3 Intentionally Deleted.
     2.4 Earnout Payment; Procedures.
     (a) Earnout Payment. In addition to the Initial Payment Amount, on March 24, 2008 (or such later time as provided in this Section 2.4), the Buyer shall pay to the Target Stockholders, in cash, an amount determined as set forth below (the “Earnout Payment”).
     (b) Target 2007 Revenue and Minimum Revenue Target. The Earnout Payment shall be determined by reference to the Target 2007 Revenue, as defined below, and shall be payable only if the Target 2007 Revenue exceeds $21,000,000 (the “Minimum Revenue Target”).
     (c) Certain Definitions.
          (i) The “Target 2007 Revenue” shall mean the amount of revenue recognized by Buyer in its audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ending December 31, 2007, determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied by Buyer, that is attributable to the sale or license of any Target Products.
          (ii) “Target Products” shall mean any software product or related service currently provided by Target Software to its customers, including those products and services identified on Schedule 2.4, and any data analysis product or service currently provided by Target Analysis to its customers, including those products and services identified on Schedule 2.4, and any improvement, enhancement or extension of any such product or service of Target Software or Target Analysis that is developed by either Target Entity or by Buyer after the date of this Agreement and that, in the absence of this Agreement, could not be sold or licensed by Buyer without infringing Intellectual Property that is owned by or licensed on an exclusive basis to a Target Entity immediately prior to the Closing.
     (d) The Earnout Payment shall be equal to the sum of (A) the product of (i) the amount, if any, by which the Target 2007 Revenue exceeds the Minimum Revenue Target, but in

6


 

no event an amount greater than $3,000,000, multiplied by (ii) 0.72 and (B) the product of (i) the amount, if any, by which the Target 2007 Revenue exceeds $24,000,000, multiplied by (ii) 0.24; provided that in no event shall the Earnout Payment be an amount greater than $2,400,000.
     (e) Earnout Procedures.
          (i) Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Target Stockholder Representative not later than March 17, 2008, a statement (the “Earnout Payment Statement”) stating the amount of the Earnout Payment, if any, to be made by the Buyer, which statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. The Target Stockholder Representative shall have the right to examine and audit, at the cost and expense of the Target Stockholders (except as provided in Section 2.4(e)(iii) below), the books and records of the Target Entities, as reasonably necessary to determine the Earnout Payment, during normal business hours upon reasonable advance written notice.
          (ii) The Target Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Buyer, within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of the Earnout Payment Statement (the “Earnout Objection Deadline Date”), either a notice of acceptance (an “Earnout Acceptance Notice”) or a notice of objection (an “Earnout Objection Notice”) of the determination of the amount of the Earnout Payment as set forth in the Earnout Payment Statement. If the Target Stockholder Representative delivers to Buyer an Earnout Acceptance Notice, or if the Target Stockholder Representative does not deliver an Earnout Objection Notice by the Earnout Objection Deadline Date, then, effective as of the earlier of (A) the date of delivery of such Earnout Acceptance Notice or (B) the close of business on the Earnout Objection Deadline Date, the amount of the Earnout Payment as set forth in the Earnout Payment Statement shall be final. If the Target Stockholder Representative delivers an Earnout Objection Notice by the Earnout Objection Deadline Date, such objections shall be resolved as follows:
               (A) The Target Stockholder Representative and Buyer shall first use reasonable efforts to resolve such objections.
               (B) If the Target Stockholder Representative and Buyer do not reach a resolution of all objections set forth on such Earnout Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Earnout Objection Notice, then the Target Stockholder Representative and Buyer shall engage the Selected Firm within 15 days following the expiration of such 30-day period to resolve any remaining objections set forth on the Earnout Objection Notice (the “Unresolved Earnout Objections”).
               (C) Within sixty (60) Business Days after the date of its engagement hereunder (or as soon as possible thereafter), the Selected Firm shall determine whether the objections raised by the Target Stockholder Representative are valid and shall issue a ruling which shall include (x) a description of any resolutions to objections agreed upon by the Buyer and the Target Stockholder Representative, (y) a description of the Selected Firm’s resolution of the Unresolved Earnout Objections, and (z) a statement of the final amount of the Earnout Payment.

7


 

               (D) The resolution by the Selected Firm of the Unresolved Earnout Objections shall be conclusive and binding. The Target Stockholder Representative and Buyer agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.4(e)(ii) for resolving disputes with respect to the amount of the Earnout Payment shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit either the Target Stockholder Representative or Buyer from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Selected Firm.
          (iii) Within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the amount of the Earnout Payment shall become final in accordance with the foregoing (the “Earnout Payment Date”), subject to the provisions of clause (iv) below, Buyer shall pay to the Target Stockholders, in accordance with the Target Allocation Percentages set forth on Exhibit A, the final Earnout Payment as determined by the Selected Firm or otherwise agreed to by the Target Stockholder Representative and Buyer. In the event the Target Stockholder Representative and Buyer engage a Selected Firm pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii)(B), (x) the Target Stockholders shall pay all of the costs and expenses of such Selected Firm and shall also reimburse the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer, if any, in connection with the Target Stockholder Representatives examining and auditing the amount of the Earnout Payment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(i), if the difference between the amount of the Earnout Payment originally submitted by Buyer and the amount of the final Earnout Payment, as determined by the parties or by the Selected Firm, is less than $50,000, and (y) the Buyer shall pay all of the costs and expenses of such Selected Firm and shall also reimburse the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Target Stockholder Representatives in examining and auditing the amount of the Earnout Payment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(i), if the difference between the amount of the Earnout Payment originally submitted by Buyer and the amount of the final Earnout Payment, as determined by the parties or by the Selected Firm, is greater than or equal to $50,000. To the extent that the Target Stockholders are responsible for the fees and expenses of the Selected Firm and fail to pay such fees and expenses, then the Buyer shall have the right to set-off the amount of such unpaid fees and expenses from any payment that the Buyer is required to make to the Target Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.4. If no set-off is available, then the Buyer and the Target Stockholder Representative shall provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent to remit to Buyer from the Escrow Amount, if any, then held by the Escrow Agent, the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, with any such amount excluded from the Floor and Claim Minimum.
          (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, as of the Earnout Payment Date, Buyer has not been fully repaid for the amount of Losses arising out of a claim for fraud or any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.12, 5.1 and 5.5, for which any of the Target Stockholders shall have been finally determined to be obligated to indemnify the Buyer pursuant to Article IX hereof, then the Buyer shall have the right to set-off the amount of such unpaid Losses from any payment that the Buyer is required to make to the Target Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.4. In the event that, on or before the Earnout Payment Date, the Buyer shall have delivered to the Target Stockholder Representative a written notice with respect to any such claims for indemnification pursuant to Article IX hereof that have not been fully resolved as of the Earnout Payment Date, the Buyer shall be entitled to deposit in escrow in an interest-bearing account with the Escrow Agent, pursuant to an escrow agreement consistent with this paragraph and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Buyer and the Target Stockholder Representative, such

8


 

portion of the applicable Earnout Payment then due that does not exceed Buyer’s reasonable, good faith estimate of the amount of such unresolved claim(s), and the amount so deposited shall be retained by the Escrow Agent pending resolution of such unresolved claim(s)) in accordance with Article IX hereof or until its earlier distribution as set forth below. Within three (3) Business Days of the resolution of all such unresolved matters in accordance with Article IX hereof, and, in any event, on the 90th day after the Earnout Payment Date, the Escrow Agent shall (A) distribute to Buyer such portion of the Earnout Payment so deposited in escrow as is equal to the amount, if any, for which the Target Stockholders shall have been finally determined to be obligated to indemnify the Buyer pursuant to Article IX hereof, and (B) distribute to the Target Stockholders the balance of the amount so deposited, plus interest earned on the entire amount so deposited with the Escrow Agent.
     2.5 Treatment of Stock Options. Immediately prior to the Closing, vesting of all options to purchase shares of common stock of the Target Entities (the “Target Options”) shall accelerate so that all Target Options shall be fully vested and exercisable. At Closing, all Target Options not previously exercised shall, as consented to prior to Closing by the holders of such Target Options, be cancelled and in lieu thereof the holder shall be entitled to receive an amount or amounts (collectively, the “Exchange Payments”) which shall equal to the “in-the-money” value of such Target Option, in the amount and calculated in the manner set forth on Schedule 2.5, minus any withholding or other Taxes required to be withheld by Buyer. In addition, the persons identified on Schedule 2.5 to whom options to purchase common stock of the Target Entities were promised but not delivered, as set forth on Schedule 2.5, shall be entitled upon the Closing to receive from the applicable Target Entity or from the Buyer cash payments equal to the “in-the-money” value of each such unissued Target option, in the amount and calculated in the manner set forth on Schedule 2.5, minus any withholding or other Taxes required to be withheld by Buyer, and any such payment shall be deemed to constitute an Exchange Payment for purposes of this paragraph.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REGARDING THE TARGET ENTITIES
     Target Software and Target Analysis, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Buyer that the statements contained in this Article IV are correct and complete as of the date hereof and, except where a representation or warranty expressly speaks as of a particular date, as of the Closing Date as though made on the Closing Date, except as set forth in the schedule of exceptions attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Schedule of Exceptions”) (as may be updated prior to the Closing). The numbering of the Schedule of Exceptions corresponds to the numbered Sections contained in this Article IV, and a disclosure made or referenced in one section of the Schedule of Exceptions shall not amend, modify or alter the representations or warranties in any other section unless, and only to the extent that, it is readily apparent that such matter relates to such other section or subsection of the Schedule of Exceptions and the level of particularity and manner of disclosure of the matter expressly disclosed in one section or subsection of the Schedule of Exceptions would make a reasonable person aware that such disclosure is relevant to such other sections or subsections. Unless specifically referenced as such in this Agreement, the inclusion of any information in any Schedule of Exceptions (or updated Schedule of Exceptions) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgement by either of the Target Entities, in and of itself, that such information is material to or outside the Ordinary Course of Business.
     4.1 Organization; Good Standing; Power. Each of the Target Entities is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority, to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Each of the Target Entities is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so duly qualified, licensed and in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Target Entities has heretofore delivered to Buyer a complete and correct copy of its Governing Documents as currently in effect.
     4.2 Authorization; Validity of Agreement. Each of the Target Entities has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Related Documents, to perform their obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transactions. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Target Entities of this Agreement and the consummation by each of the Target Entities of the Transactions are within their corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action under the their Governing Documents and applicable provisions of the Law of their jurisdiction of incorporation. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of the

11


 

Target Entities and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of each of the Target Entities, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and for limitations imposed by general principles of equity.
     4.3 No Conflicts; Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Target Entities of this Agreement and the Related Documents and the consummation of the Transactions do not and will not (i) violate the Governing Documents of either of the Target Entities, (ii) violate any applicable Law, or (iii) require any consent or other action by any Person under, constitute a default under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of either of the Target Entities or to a loss of any benefit to which either of the Target Entities are entitled under any provision of any Material Contract (or result in the imposition of any Lien upon any assets used in the Ordinary Course of Business for either of the Target Entities). No notice, filing, consent, approval, license, permit, order, qualification or authorization of, or registration, declaration, notice or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required for or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Related Document, and the consummation of the Transactions.

The Target Stockholders and the Buyer agree: (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Target Entities relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Target Stockholders or Buyer, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority; and (ii) to give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party or parties so request, the Target Stockholders or Buyer, as the case may be, shall allow the other party or parties to take possession of such books and records.
     (f) Section 1374 Treatment; S Corp Treatment. The Target Stockholders shall not take any position before any Governmental Entity or otherwise (including in any Return) inconsistent with the treatment that no net recognized built-in gain (as defined in section 1374 of the Code or any similar provisions of state and local Tax laws) of any Target Entity results from any of the Transactions or any prior transaction involving the Target Entities, unless required to do so by applicable Tax laws pursuant to a Determination. Unless, in each case, required to do otherwise by applicable Tax laws pursuant to a Determination, none of the Target Stockholders, Buyer, or the Target Entities shall take any action (including in connection with the filing of Returns) inconsistent with the treatment of each of the Target Entities as an S Corp for federal income Tax purposes (and for purposes of any state or local Tax law under which such Target Entity files Returns as an S Corp for any period prior to Closing) for all periods from prior to and including the Closing Date.
     (g) Allocation of Certain Taxes. Buyer and the Target Stockholders agree that if either of the Target Entities is permitted but not required under applicable state, local or foreign income Tax laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, Buyer, each such Target Entity and the Target Stockholders shall treat such day as the last day of a taxable period.

34


 

Where it is necessary to apportion between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Target Stockholders or Target Entities, on the other hand, the Tax Liability of either of the Target Entities for a period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, such Liability shall be apportioned between the period deemed to end at the close of the Closing Date and the period deemed to begin at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date on the basis of an interim closing of the books, except that Taxes, such as real property Taxes, imposed on a periodic basis shall be apportioned on a daily basis and exemptions, allowances and deductions that are otherwise calculated on an annual basis shall be apportioned on a daily basis. Where it is necessary to determine the Tax Liability of either of the Target Entities for a taxable period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date, such Liability shall be determined under applicable Tax law.
     (h) Survival of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 7.4 shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect until ninety (90) days after the applicable statue of limitations has expired (or such later date as is provided in Section 9.1).
     (i) Target Stockholder Taxes. The Target Stockholders acknowledge and agree that solely the Target Stockholders shall be responsible and liable for any Tax imposed on, or required to be paid by, any Target Stockholder with respect to any Transactions, whether by reason of the Section 338 Election or otherwise.
     7.5 Confidentiality. Each Target Stockholder will treat and hold confidential as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to Buyer or destroy, at the request and option of Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in his, her or its possession. In the event that a Target Stockholder is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, that party will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.5. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, a Target Stockholder is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, that party may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall use his or its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of Buyer and at its expense, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer shall designate.
     7.6 Noncompetition. Each Target Stockholder, other than the Key Employees who are subject to separate Noncompetition Agreements, and other than those Target Stockholders named on Schedule 7.6 who are no longer employed by either Target Entity and whose Target Allocation Percentage, in each case, is less than 0.50% (each an “Excluded Stockholder”), hereby promises and agrees that for a period of two (2) years after the date hereof, he or she will not, either directly or indirectly, for himself or herself or on behalf of any other individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity:

35


 

          (a) Within the United States, Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand (the “Restricted Area”), engage in, manage, operate, control or supervise, or participate in the management, operation, control or supervision of any business that is engaged in the design, development, marketing, licensing, leasing, rental or sale of software, software applications, internet applications, donor research and management, prospective donor analysis or e-commerce solutions designed specifically for use by non-profit organizations in connection with fund raising, e-commerce, accounting or school administration, or consulting and/or other services with respect thereto (the “Covered Services”);
          (b) Within the Restricted Area, solicit any of the customers of the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to divert its purchases of any of the Covered Services to any other individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity; or
          (c) Solicit any person who is, or within six months prior to such solicitation has been, an employee, independent contractor/consultant or representative of the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to work for any business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity then in competition with the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
     The Target Stockholders acknowledge that the Buyer is doing business throughout the Restricted Area, and recognizes that the time limits, geographic scope, and the types and limitations of activities set forth hereinabove are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Buyer. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 7.6 be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under the laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any court determines that any provision of this Section 7.6 is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such court will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable.
     7.7 Release. Each Target Stockholder, on his own behalf and on behalf of his successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators, hereby releases and forever discharges the Buyer and its successors, assigns, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, lessors, lessees, licensors and licensees (collectively, the “Releasees”), from, and has agreed not to assert against any of the Releasees, any and all claims, actions, causes of action, suits, judgments, liabilities, obligations, damages, debts, losses, indemnities, costs, expenses, penalties, accounts, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, executions, and demands of any kind or any nature whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, accrued, inchoate, contingent, potential, or otherwise, in statutory or common law, or in equity, that against any of the Releasees that the Target Stockholder now has, ever has had or may have for, upon or by reason of any matter, circumstance, cause or thing whatsoever, whether known or unknown, contingent or accrued, from the beginning of time through the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that this release shall not extend to any claim any Target Stockholder may have against the Releasees arising out of a breach by any Releasee of any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, or any claim relating to or arising out of the employment of such Target Stockholders by either of the Target Entities.

36

     (a) General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the Transactions or the purposes of this Agreement, each of the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article IX below).

     (c) Transition. None of the Target Stockholders will take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of the Target Entities from maintaining the same business relationships with the Target Entities after the Closing as it maintained with Target Entities prior to the Closing.
     (d) Impairment of Indemnification Provisions. Buyer shall not, for a period of five years after the Closing, take any action to alter or impair any exculpatory or indemnification provisions now existing in the Governing Documents of the Target Entities for the benefit of any individual who served as a director or officer of the Target Entities at any time prior to the Closing, except for any changes that may be required to conform with changes in applicable law and any changes that do not affect the application of such provisions to acts or omissions of such individuals prior to the Closing.

41


 

by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including the power to take any action, or refrain from taking any action, in his, her or its sole and absolute discretion as to any matter that may arise under this Agreement or the Related Documents as to which the Target Stockholders are not given express authority hereunder.

The Target Stockholder Representative shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein.

     (d) The Target Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Target Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve the Target Stockholder Representative from Liability arising out of his, her or its own fraud, gross negligence or bad faith.
     (e) The Target Stockholder Representative may be removed at any time upon the written consent of the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Escrow Amount; provided however, that a successor Target Stockholder Representative must be concurrently appointed by such holders, who shall promptly notify the Buyer and the other Target Stockholders, in writing, of such removal and the appointment of a successor thereto.

Within thirty (30) days after receiving notice from a resigning Target Stockholder Representative or after the death of a Target Stockholder Representative, the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Escrow Amount shall appoint a

42


 

successor Target Stockholder Representative and inform the Buyer and the Escrow Agent, in writing, of the name of such successor. Any such successor Target Stockholder Representative shall execute a joinder to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all of the rights, and have all of the obligations, of the Target Stockholder Representative hereunder.
     (f) All reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Target Stockholder Representative in connection with this Agreement shall be borne by the Target Stockholders (on a pro rata basis). The Target Stockholder Representative may, at the time of any disbursement of funds from the Escrow Account to the Target Stockholders, instruct the Escrow Agent to withhold and pay to the Target Stockholder Representative a portion of the proceeds to be paid to the Target Stockholders as is necessary to satisfy the actual out-of -pocket costs and expenses, including the fees and expenses of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Target Stockholder Representative in connection with the performance of his responsibilities under this Agreement after the Closing.
     (g) By his signature to this Agreement, Charles Longfield hereby accepts the appointment contained herein and agrees to act as the Target Stockholder Representative and to discharge the duties and responsibilities of the Target Stockholder Representative pursuant to the terms hereof.
     (h) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Target Stockholder Representative shall constitute a decision of all Target Stockholders for whom the Escrow Amount are deposited and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such holder, and the Escrow Agent and the Buyer may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Target Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every Target Stockholder. To the extent that either the Escrow Agent or the Buyer acts in accordance with a decision, act, consent or instruction of the Target Stockholder Representative, the Escrow Agent and the Buyer are hereby relieved from any Liability with respect to such act, to any Person, including the Target Stockholders.
     9.5 Third Party Claims. The obligations and liabilities of the Target Stockholders with respect to Losses resulting from the individual assertion of or related assertions of liability by third parties (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
     (a) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall promptly give written notice to the Target Stockholder Representative of any Third Party Claim that might give rise to any Loss by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, stating the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, and the amount thereof to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Buyer Indemnified Parties in notifying the Target Stockholder Representative shall relieve the Target Stockholders from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Buyer Indemnified Party is prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim, including any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument.
     (b) From and after receipt of notice of a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.5(a), the Target Stockholders shall have the right to conduct, at their own expense, the defense against

43

Any Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Third Party Claim and/or to participate in the defense thereof at their own expense. The party or parties conducting the defense of any Third Party Claim shall keep the other parties apprised of all significant developments with respect thereto and shall not enter into any settlement, compromise or consent to judgment that imposes non-monetary obligations on the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
     (c) In the event any of the conditions in Section 9.5(b) above is not satisfied, however, (i) the Buyer Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate; provided that the Target Stockholders will not be bound by any settlement of any such Third Party Claim effected without their consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) except in connection with any Third Party Claim described in clause 9.5(b)(iv) above, the Target Stockholders will reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (iii) except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the Target Stockholders will remain responsible for indemnifying the Buyer Indemnified Party for any Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article IX.

     (b) For purposes of determining the magnitude of any Loss giving rise to a right to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (but not in determining whether there has been any

44


 

breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made in this Agreement), all materiality and Material Adverse Effect qualifications set forth in any representation, warranty, covenant and agreement herein will be disregarded.
     9.7 Limitation of Liability.
     (a) The obligations of any Target Stockholders shall not apply (i) to any individual claim resulting in Losses of less than $62,400 (the “Claim Minimum”) or (ii) until the aggregate amount of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, excluding Losses attributable to any individual claims that do not equal or exceed the Claim Minimum (“De Minimis Claims”), exceeds the sum of $624,000 (the “Floor”). Once the aggregate amount of Losses, excluding Losses attributable to De Minimis Claims, suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds the Floor, then the Target Stockholders in the aggregate shall be liable under this Article IX for all such Losses, including Losses attributable to De Minimis Claims, up to the Escrow Amount (the “Cap”).
     (b) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Section 9.5, the liability of the Target Stockholders shall be limited to the direct Losses suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties.

Within 30 days after the later of (a) resolution of all indemnity claims of Buyer brought prior to the Escrow Termination Date or (b) the Escrow Termination Date, that portion of the Escrow Amount with respect to which Buyer is not entitled to retain pursuant to this Article IX shall be distributed to the Target Stockholders in accordance with the Target Allocation Percentages set forth in Exhibit A.
