Section 2.2. Deliveries by Sellers.

At the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser:

(e) the other certificates, opinions, agreements and documents referred to in Section 6.2.

Until final

-3-

determination of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Amount in accordance with this Section 2.4, Sellers will provide Purchaser and its authorized representatives with access during normal business hours to all books, records and personnel of Sellers to the extent related to the Company and the Company Subsidiary as Purchaser may reasonably request in order to verify the accuracy and completeness of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Amount; provided that such access by Purchaser shall not unduly interfere with the business or operations of Seller and shall not otherwise be unduly burdensome to Seller.

Such accounting firm shall review such final calculations and make a selection as to which of the final calculations presented to it is, in the aggregate, more accurate. The decision by such accounting firm shall be final and binding on the parties. The costs and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by the party whose proposed calculation is not selected by such accounting firm. Purchaser and Parent shall make available to such accounting firm all relevant books and records relating to the calculations submitted and all other information reasonably requested by such accounting firm.

(c) If the Purchase Price, upon the final determination or acceptance thereof in accordance with Section 2.4(b), is less than the amount of the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser at Closing, then the difference shall be paid by Parent to Purchaser within five (5) days after the date of such final determination or acceptance. If the Purchase Price, upon the final determination or acceptance thereof in accordance with Section 2.4(b), is greater than the amount of the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser at Closing, then the difference shall be paid by Purchaser to Parent within five (5) days after the date of such final determination or acceptance. Any payment under this Section 2.4(c) shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with wiring instructions furnished by the recipient of such payment at least two (2) business days prior to the date of payment.

Prior to the Closing, the Company and Sellers shall give Purchaser and its authorized representatives reasonable access to all books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and the Company Subsidiary (including books and records of Sellers, but only to the extent related to the Company and the Company Subsidiary); provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted at Purchaser’s expense, at a reasonable time, under the supervision of Parent’s or the Company’s personnel and in such a manner as to not interfere unreasonably with the normal operation of the business of Sellers, the Company or the Company Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything contained in this or any other agreement between Purchaser and Sellers executed prior to the date hereof, none of the Company, Sellers or any of their Affiliates shall be required to disclose any information to Purchaser if such disclosure would (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege, or (ii) contravene any applicable Legal Requirements, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which Sellers, the Company or any of their Affiliates is a party); provided, however, that this sentence shall not be deemed to modify or waive any disclosure required by Article 3 hereof.

Section 5.3. Confidential Information.

The parties acknowledge that Parent and Purchaser have previously executed a Confidential Disclosure Agreement dated November 12, 2003 with respect to the Transactions, by and between Parent and Purchaser (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). The Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Closing and the consummation of the Transactions and/or the termination of this Agreement. The parties hereby agree that the term “Evaluation Material,” as

-27-

used in the Confidentiality Agreement, shall include (i) all exhibits, schedules, certificates and other documents executed or delivered in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, and (ii) all proprietary and confidential information concerning Sellers and their Affiliates, and their business and operations, including Sellers’ intellectual property and the Seller Licensed IP, and (iii) all documents contained on Parent’s datasite, or otherwise delivered to Purchaser, to which Purchaser or Purchaser’s representatives have had access prior to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any confidentiality provisions in the Intellectual Property License Agreement shall supercede the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to the Seller Licensed IP that is the subject of such Intellectual Property License Agreement.

Section 5.4. Efforts and Actions to Cause Closing to Occur.

(a) Prior to the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser, Sellers and the Company agree (i) to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable (subject to any applicable Legal Requirements) to consummate the Closing and the other Transactions as promptly as practicable, (ii) to execute any documents, instruments or conveyances of any kind which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out any of the Transactions, and (iii) to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing, including using their reasonable efforts (A) to obtain all necessary approvals, authorizations, consents, orders, licenses, permits, qualifications, exemptions or waivers (including the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period) by any third party or Governmental Entity, (B) to defend all actions challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, (C) to lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the Transactions, (D) to effect all necessary registrations and filings, including, without limitation, submissions of information requested by Governmental Entities, and (E) to fulfill all conditions to Closing set forth in this Agreement. In addition, no party hereto shall take any action after the date hereof that could reasonably be expected to materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any permission, approval or consent (including the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period) from any Governmental Entity or other Person required to be obtained prior to Closing.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Sellers and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Material Contracts listed in Section 5.4(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule that are by and between Sellers or any of their

-28-

Affiliates (other than the Company or the Company Subsidiary) and a third party to be assigned to the Company during the period from the date hereof and through the Closing Date, so as to permit the Company to assume the rights and obligations under such Material Contracts, provided that in no event will Sellers or any of their Affiliates be required to make any payment to a third party not otherwise due and owing in connection with any such assignment (other than transfer fees or similar fees provided for in the terms of the Material Contract).

(ii) Sellers and the Company shall also use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents or approvals required in connection with the consummation of the Transactions under any other Material Contract; provided that in no event will Sellers or any of their Affiliates be required to make any payment to a third party not otherwise due and owing in connection with any such consent or approval (other than transfer fees or similar fees provided for in the terms of the Material Contract).

(iii) If any assignment or consent contemplated by this Section 5.4(b) is not obtained prior to the Closing, or if Purchaser and Parent agree in writing that an attempted assignment of a Material Contract would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights thereunder so that the Company would not receive substantially all such rights, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, take commercially reasonable efforts so as to ensure that the Company would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Company, or under which Sellers would enforce, for the benefit of the Company and at the Company’s expense, any third party’s obligations. After the Closing, Sellers shall promptly pay to the Company all monies received by Sellers or any of their Affiliates with respect to such nonassignable Material Contracts or any benefit arising thereunder.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Sellers and their Affiliates shall transfer to the Company all right, title and interest in and to the IP owned by them that is (i) listed on Section 3.21(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or (ii) used exclusively by the Company or the Company Subsidiary. Such transfer shall be made pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

(d) Prior to the Closing, Sellers and their Affiliates shall transfer to the Company all right, title and interest in and to the tangible assets owned by them that are listed on Section 3.23(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or are located at the premises in American Fork, Utah subject to the Sublease Agreement. Such transfer shall be made pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

-29-

(e) Prior to the Closing, each party shall promptly consult with the other party hereto with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to, and provide the other parties (or their respective counsel) with copies of, all filings made by such party with any Governmental Entity or any other information supplied by such party in writing to a Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Prior to the Closing, each party hereto shall promptly provide the other party with copies of any written communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the Transactions. If any party hereto or Affiliate thereof receives a request or demand for information or documentary material from any such Governmental Entity with respect to any of the Transactions prior to the Closing, then such party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other parties, an appropriate response in compliance with such request or demand.

(f) In addition to and without limiting the agreements of the parties contained above, Purchaser and Parent shall:

(i) take promptly all actions necessary to make the filings required of them or any of their Affiliates under the HSR Act;

(ii) comply at the earliest practicable date with any request or demand for additional information or documentary material received by the Company, Purchaser, Sellers or any of their Affiliates from the FTC or the DOJ pursuant to the HSR Act or from any state Attorney General or other Governmental Entity in connection with antitrust matters;

(iii) cooperate with each other in connection with any filing under the HSR Act, and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry concerning the Transactions commenced by the FTC, DOJ, any state Attorney General or any other Governmental Entity;

(iv) use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in a prompt manner such objections, if any, as may be asserted with respect to the Transactions under any antitrust law; and

(v) advise the other parties promptly of any material communication received by such party from the FTC, DOJ, any state Attorney General or any other Governmental Entity regarding any of the Transactions, and of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) such party proposes to make or enter into with the FTC, DOJ, any state Attorney General or any other Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions.

-30-

Concurrently with the filing of notifications under the HSR Act, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Parent and Purchaser shall each request early termination of the HSR Act waiting period.

Section 5.5. No Solicitation.

Sellers and the Company agree that, from the date hereof and until any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7, none of Sellers, the Company, the Company Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers and directors shall, and Sellers and the Company will direct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of their and the Company Subsidiary’s respective employees, representatives and Affiliates not to, initiate, solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, the making or implementation of any proposal or offer with respect to any merger, acquisition, consolidation or similar transaction directly involving, or any direct purchase of all or any significant portion of the assets or any equity securities of, the Company (any such proposal or offer being an “Acquisition Proposal”) or engage in any activities, discussions or negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information regarding, the Company or the Company Subsidiary to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal. Sellers and the Company shall: (i) immediately cease any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing, and (ii) notify Purchaser immediately if any Acquisition Proposal is received by Sellers or the Company.

Section 5.6. Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.6:

(i) Parent shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiary for taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date and shall remit (or cause to be remitted), subject to Section 5.6(b), any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and shall be true, complete and correct in all material respects and Parent shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes due in connection with such Tax Returns. For all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiary to join in Parent’s consolidated federal income tax return and shall pay all Taxes due in connection with such Tax Returns.

(ii) Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiary for taxable years or periods ending after the Closing Date,

-31-

and Purchaser shall remit (or cause to be remitted), subject to Section 5.6(b), any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Straddle Period Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice.

(iii) Purchaser shall permit Parent to review and comment on any Tax Return relating to any Straddle Period at least thirty (30) days prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Parent.

(iv) Upon the written request of Purchaser setting forth in detail the computation of the amount owed, Parent shall pay to Purchaser, no later than two (2) business days prior to the Due Date for the applicable Tax Return, the Taxes for which Parent is liable pursuant to Section 5.6(b) but which are payable with any Tax Return to be filed by Purchaser with respect to any Straddle Period.

(v) Purchaser shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiary to furnish information to Parent as reasonably requested by Parent to allow Parent to satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.6 in accordance with past custom and practice. The Company and the Company Subsidiary and Purchaser shall consult and cooperate with Parent as to any elections to be made on returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiary for periods ending on or before the Closing Date.

(vi) Parent may amend any Tax Return of or with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiary that are filed or required to be filed for any taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date after allowing Purchaser an opportunity to review and comment upon such Tax Return to the extent it relates to the Company or the Company Subsidiary. Parent shall not file or cause to be filed any amended return that is inconsistent with past practices without prior written consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Computation of Tax Liabilities.

(i) To the extent permitted or required by law or administrative practice, (A) the taxable year of the Company and the Company Subsidiary which includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date and, notwithstanding the foregoing, (B) all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring after the Closing shall be reported on Purchaser’s consolidated United States federal income Tax Return to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) and shall be similarly reported on other Tax Returns of Purchaser or its Affiliates to the extent permitted by law. Where it is necessary to apportion between Parent and Purchaser the Tax liability of an entity for a Straddle Period (which is not treated under the immediately preceding

-32-

sentence as closing on the Closing Date), such liability shall be apportioned between the period deemed to end at the close of the Closing Date, subject to Section 5.6(b) 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 allocated on a daily basis.

(ii) In determining Parent’s liability for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, Parent shall be credited with the amount of estimated Taxes paid by or on behalf of the Company and the Company Subsidiary or accrued on the Balance Sheet of the Company or the Company Subsidiary prior to the Closing. To the extent that Parent’s liability for Taxes for a taxable year or period is less than the amount of estimated income Taxes previously paid by or on behalf of the Company and the Company Subsidiary with respect to all or a portion of such taxable year or period, Purchaser shall pay Parent the difference within two (2) business days of filing the Tax Return relating to such income Taxes.

(iii) To the extent that Parent’s liability for Taxes for a taxable year or period is greater than the amount of estimated income Taxes previously paid by or on behalf of the Company and the Company Subsidiary with respect to all or a portion of such taxable year or period, Purchaser shall notify Parent, and Parent shall reimburse Purchaser for the difference within fifteen (15) business days after Purchaser files the Tax Return relating to such income Taxes.

(c) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Sellers.

(d) Section 338(h)(10) Election. At Purchaser’s request, Parent and Purchaser shall jointly make the election described in Code §338(h)(10) (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the stock of the Company and the Company Subsidiary hereunder. Parent will pay any income Tax attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election and will indemnify Purchaser, the Company, and the Company Subsidiary against any Losses arising out of any failure to pay such income Tax.

(e) Allocation of Purchase Price. If a 338(h)(10) election is made, Purchaser and Parent agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Company and the Company Subsidiary (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to and among the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiary for all relevant purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) in accordance with the methodology set forth on an allocation schedule to be agreed to by Purchaser and Sellers prior to the Closing Date (the “Allocation Schedule”),

-33-

and (ii) a final allocation of the Purchase Price and liabilities of the Company and the Company Subsidiary (plus other relevant items) consistent with the form of Allocation Schedule (the “Final Allocation”) shall be made as soon as practicable following the Closing. Purchaser, the Company, the Company Subsidiary and Parent will file all Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns and claims for refunds) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation.

(f) Refunds.

(i) Any Tax refund (including any interest in respect thereof) received by Purchaser, the Company or the Company Subsidiary, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Purchaser, the Company or the Company Subsidiary becomes entitled (including by way of any amended Tax Return or any carryback filing), that relate to any taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of Parent, and Purchaser shall pay over to Parent any such refund or the amount of any such credit within five (5) business days after receipt or entitlement thereto. Purchaser shall pay Parent interest at the rate prescribed under Section 6621(a)(1) of the Code, compounded daily, on any amount not paid when due under this Section 5.6(f). For purposes of this Section 5.6(f), where it is necessary to apportion a refund or credit between Purchaser and Parent for a Straddle Period, such refund or credit 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 of the Company and the Company Subsidiary, except that refunds or credits of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (e.g., real property Taxes) shall be allocated on a daily basis.

(ii) Purchaser shall cooperate, and cause the Company and the Company Subsidiary to cooperate, in obtaining any Tax refund that Parent reasonably believes should be available, including through filing appropriate forms with the applicable taxing authorities.

(g) Post-Closing Actions which Affect Parent’s Liability for Taxes.

(i) Purchaser shall not permit the Company or the Company Subsidiary to take any action which could increase Parent’s liability for Taxes (including any liability of Parent to indemnify Purchaser for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement) without Parent’s consent or unless required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(ii) None of Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser shall (or shall cause or permit the Company or the Company Subsidiary to) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to the Company or the Company Subsidiary with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date (or with respect to any Straddle Period) without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Parent.

-34-

(iii) None of Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser shall (or shall cause or permit the Company or the Company Subsidiary to) carryback for Federal, state, local or foreign tax purposes to any taxable period, or portion thereof, of the Company, the Company Subsidiary or Parent or any affiliate of Parent ending before, or which includes, the Closing Date any operating losses, net operating losses, capital losses, tax credits or similar items arising in, resulting from, or generated in connection with a taxable year of Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser, or portion thereof, ending on or after the Closing Date.

(h) Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements or arrangements, written or oral, between Parent or any Affiliate of Parent and the Company or the Company Subsidiary, shall terminate as of the Closing.

(i) Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):

(i) provide timely notice to the other party of any Tax refund or any pending or threatened Tax audits or disputes regarding any Tax Returns of the Company or the Company Subsidiary;

(ii) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 5.6(a);

(iii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Company or the Company Subsidiary (and such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information of any material provided hereunder);

(iv) use their best efforts to obtain, upon the other party’s request, any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the Transactions); and

(v) provide the other party, upon its request, with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Code §6043 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 5.7. Employees; Employee Benefits.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, all Company Employees at the Closing Date shall become employees of Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser. All Company Employees shall receive continuation offer letters of employment in accordance with Section 5.8 hereof.

(b) On and after the Closing, the Company shall cease being a participant in any and all Parent Plans in which Company Employees participate prior to the Closing. From and after the Closing, Parent shall assume or retain, as the case may be, and be solely responsible for all liabilities arising prior to the Closing associated with the Parent Plans and the Company’s or Sellers’ employment of any Company Employee; provided that Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all holiday pay, paid time off and other similar accrued benefits owing to all Company Employees through the Closing Date.

(c) As soon as administratively practicable after the Closing, Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliates shall take all reasonable action so that Company Employees who accept Purchaser’s offer of employment (the “Transferred Employees”) and their eligible dependents as the case may be to the extent that such eligible dependents are eligible to participate in such plans, shall be entitled to participate in each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliates of general applicability (the “Purchaser Plans”) to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of Purchaser (it being understood that inclusion of the Transferred Employees in the Purchaser Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans; provided, however, that effective as of the Closing, Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser Plans that provide medical, dental or health coverage effective as of the Closing). To the extent permitted under the terms of the Purchaser Plans, Purchaser shall cause each Purchaser Plan in which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in, the vesting of benefits and for all other purposes (but not for accrual of benefits) under the Purchaser Plans, the service of such employees with the Company, the Company Subsidiary, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by the Company, the Company Subsidiary, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Transferred Employees will be given credit for past service with the Company for purposes of Purchaser’s vacation or paid-time off policy.

(d) With respect to medical, dental or health Purchaser Plans, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall cause each such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable medical, health or dental plans of Purchaser, provided that the level of coverage remains the same, and (ii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability

-36-

requirement which would otherwise be applicable to any Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents on or after the Closing to the extent such Transferred Employee or eligible dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Seller Plan prior to the Closing, and (iii) provide full credit under such plans for any deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents during the portion of the calendar year prior to such participation in which the Closing occurs.

(e) Transferred Employees who are participants in Parent’s 401(k) plan shall be given the opportunity to “rollover” their vested account balances, to the extent any such amounts distributable constitute “eligible rollover distributions” (as defined in Section 402(f)(2)(A) of the Code), to any tax-qualified Purchaser Plan that accepts rollover distributions or to any eligible individual retirement account.

(f) If any Transferred Employee is discharged by Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing, Purchaser or such Affiliate shall be responsible for (i) any and all severance costs and obligations and (ii) continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or similar state law (“COBRA Continuation Coverage”) for such Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents.

(g) Parent shall be responsible for and pay any and all severance, retention and similar payments owing to any Company Employees prior to the Closing Date or pursuant to the agreements set forth on Section 3.15(b)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. Parent shall also be responsible for providing COBRA Continuation Coverage for all Company Employees discharged by Parent or its Affiliates at any time prior to the Closing.

(h) Effective on the Closing Date, all rights and benefits of Sellers or any of their Affiliates under any confidentiality, assignment of inventions or non-competition Contract with any Transferred Employee shall be assigned to the Company without further action by any Person.

Section 5.8. Employment Offers.

As of the date of this Agreement or as soon as is practicable thereafter, but in no event less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the Closing, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall extend continuation offers of employment to all Company Employees whose names will be provided to Purchaser prior to Closing.

Section 5.10. Notice of Developments.

From the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, Sellers and the Company will give Purchaser prompt notice (a) if any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall have become untrue or inaccurate, and (b) of any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, in each case such that the conditions to closing set forth in Section 6.2(b) or 6.2(c) would not be satisfied; provided, however, such disclosure shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Seller Disclosure Schedule (unless such disclosure constitutes an amendment or update to the Seller Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 5.17 hereof) or to prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant. From the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, Purchaser will give Parent prompt notice (a) if any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement shall have become untrue or inaccurate, and (b) of any failure of Purchaser to comply with or satisfy any covenant, in each case such that the conditions to closing set forth in Section 6.3(b) or 6.3(c) would not be satisfied.

After the Closing Date and up until at least the third anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any reasonable request from a party hereto or its representatives, the party holding such records shall (a) provide to the requesting party or its representatives reasonable access to such records during normal business hours and (b) permit the requesting party or its representatives to make copies of such records; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require either party to disclose any information to the other if such disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or contravene any applicable Legal Requirements. Such records may be sought under this Section 5.11 for any reasonable business purpose, including to the extent reasonably required in connection with the audit, accounting, tax, litigation, federal securities disclosure or other similar needs of the party seeking such records.

Furthermore, except to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, neither the Company nor Purchaser or its Affiliates shall make use of (including on or in stationary, literature, promotional materials, websites and any other printed or written documents) Seller’s name, trademarks or logos from and after the Closing, including, without limitation “InfoSpace” or “Go2Net” or any part or variation of such name or anything confusingly similar thereto.

(b) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, all agreements and commitments, whether written, oral or otherwise, which are solely between the Company or the Company Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates (excluding the Company and the Company Subsidiary), on the other hand, shall be terminated and of no further effect, simultaneously with the Closing without any further action or liability on the part of the parties thereto.

Section 5.14. Publicity.

Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions, or otherwise disclose to any party the Purchase Price or financial or other terms of the Agreement or the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that to the extent a party is advised by counsel that disclosure of the matters set forth in this Agreement is required by applicable securities laws or by Nasdaq requirements, then such party (the “Disclosing Party”) may make such disclosure as is required but agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party (the “Non-Disclosing Party”) as much prior notice of such disclosure as is practicable as well as an opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure in advance of public release.

-39-

Section 5.15. Further Assurances; Post-Closing Litigation Support.

(a) If at any time after the Closing, any further assignments, conveyances, transfers or assurances in law, or any other actions or things, may be reasonably necessary to transfer, assign, convey or deliver to, or to vest, perfect or confirm in (i) the Company, any right, title or interest of Sellers in or to any assets or properties sold to Purchaser hereunder, or (ii) Purchaser any right, title or interest of Sellers, of record or otherwise, in or to the Shares then, in either such case, Sellers, at their sole cost and expense, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to promptly execute, deliver and record, or cause to be executed, delivered and recorded, any and all such further instruments of assignment, conveyance and transfer and take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to transfer, assign, convey or deliver the same to, or to vest, perfect or confirm the same in, the Company, or Purchaser, as applicable.

(a) In consideration of the payments described in Section 1.2 of this Agreement, Sellers agree that, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the consummation of a Parent Change of Control, neither Sellers nor any of their Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, (A) establish or enter into, advise, consult with or become an owner in part of, any Person that engages in any business, or in any way engage in any business (either as principal or as a shareholder, owner, partner, joint venturer, consultant, advisor or representative of any Person), that competes with the Purchased Business, or (B) solicit any Person that is a customer of or vendor to the Company or the Company Subsidiary (other than through general advertising) in a manner that is reasonably likely to cause such Person to reduce its business transactions with the Company or the Company Subsidiary or otherwise adversely interfere with the conduct of the Purchased Business. It is understood and agreed that the passive ownership of not more than five percent (5%) of the stock or other equity interests of a public company shall not constitute a violation of this Section 5.18(a).

(b) Each Seller agrees that, during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall solicit for employment or employ (except as a Company Employee) any person who is an employee of the Company, the Company Subsidiary or the Purchased Business, unless such person’s employment has been terminated for a period of at least six (6) months.

(c) Sellers expressly acknowledge and agree that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area. If, at the time of enforcement of any provision of this Section 5.18, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, Purchaser

-41-

and Sellers hereby agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. Sellers also hereby agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Section 5.18. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.18, Purchaser or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

Section 5.19. Transition Services.

Except as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, in the absence of any other written agreement, the provision of any services (similar to those contemplated by the preceding sentence) by Parent to the Company from and after the Closing shall be for the convenience, and at the expense, of Purchaser only and shall be furnished without any liability on the part of Parent with respect thereto.

Each of the Sellers shall cooperate with, and provide all information and documents reasonably requested by, the Company and the Company Auditors in the preparation of the financial statements and related documents and information to be prepared pursuant to this Section 5.20, and shall use reasonable efforts, at Purchaser’s expense, to enable the Company Auditors to furnish such financial statements, documents and information required pursuant to this Section 5.20 to Purchaser as soon as possible, and in any event no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date.

(a) by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Parent;

(b) by either Parent or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have been consummated by April 30, 2004 for any reason; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been the principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

The termination of representations and warranties provided herein shall not affect the rights of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim made by such an

-48-

Section 8.2. Indemnification by Parent

Subject in all cases to the limitations set forth in this Article 8 (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 8.6), Parent shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and the Company Subsidiary) from and against and in respect of all Losses arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty contained in Article 3 of this Agreement or the compliance certificate to be delivered by Sellers pursuant to Section 6.2(d);

-49-

(d) the litigation matter described on Exhibit C and any other claim, action or proceeding based upon or related to the facts that are the subject matter of such litigation matter, subject to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit C.

Section 8.4. Procedure for Claims between Parties

If a claim for Damages is to be made by a Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Party required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as practicable (and in any event within five (5) business days) after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Article 8, other than Tax Claims as provided in Section 8.9 below. Any failure to submit any such notice of claim in a timely manner to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Each Claim Notice shall set forth (i) the specific representation, warranty or covenant alleged to have been breached, (ii) the nature and amount of the claim asserted, together with sufficient facts relating thereto so that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably evaluate such claim and (iii) a calculation or good faith estimate, if such can be reasonably calculated, of the aggregate Losses to which the Indemnified Party believes it is entitled in connection with the claim. If the Indemnifying Party, within twenty (20) business days after receipt of the Claim Notice, does not give written notice to the Indemnified Party or parties announcing its intent to contest such claim, the claim shall be deemed accepted and the amount of the claim shall be deemed a valid claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall, within ten (10) business days after expiration of the prior notice period, deliver to the Indemnified Party the amount of the Losses with respect to the claim. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party or parties contest the assertion of a claim by giving such written notice to the Indemnified Party within said period, then the parties shall act in good faith to reach agreement regarding such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (a) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be required to deliver any Claim Notice or any notice pursuant to Section 8.5, and Parent shall not be entitled to contest its indemnification liability, in respect of the Excluded Claims, and (b) Parent and its Affiliates shall not be required to deliver any Claim Notice or any notice pursuant to Section 8.5, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to contest its indemnification liability, in respect of the matter disclosed on Exhibit C.

Section 8.5. Defense of Third Party Claims.

If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any Indemnified Party by a third party, written notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as

-50-

promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons), other than Tax Claims as provided in Section 8.9. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. After such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom which cooperation shall include, to the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, the retention, and the provision to the Indemnifying Party, of records and information reasonably relevant to such third-party claim, and making employees of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the notice of claim, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8.5 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnified Party shall take any action the purpose of which is to prejudice the defense of any claim subject to indemnification hereunder or to induce a third party to assert a claim subject to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the

-51-

contrary, (A) Purchaser shall control the defense of the litigation matter set forth on Exhibit C, provided that such litigation shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), and (B) Parent shall control the defense of the Excluded Claims.

Section 8.6. Limitations.

(a) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to recover for any Losses until such time as the Losses in the aggregate to which Purchaser and its Affiliates are entitled to be indemnified hereunder exceed $250,000 (the “Purchaser Loss Threshold”), at which time Purchaser shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for all such Losses, including the amount of the Purchaser Loss Threshold. In determining the amount of Losses for which the Purchaser or its Affiliates are entitled to be indemnified by Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(a) for a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty (but not for determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred or an inaccuracy in any representation or warranty exists), any materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard contained in the applicable representation or warranty shall be disregarded. In no event shall Parent’s actual cumulative liability for Losses in connection with the Transactions exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations set forth in this Section 8.6(a) shall not apply to Losses that are recoverable pursuant to Parent’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.2(d). Each Loss for which Purchaser or its Affiliates is entitled to recovery shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds to which Purchaser or its Affiliates is entitled with respect to such Loss and (ii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment that Purchaser or its Affiliates receives from any third party with respect to such Loss.

(b) If Purchaser receives any payment from Parent in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 8.2 and Purchaser could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying Claim, Purchaser shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement and any contractual provision, assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit Parent to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.

(c) Parent and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to recover for any Losses until such time as the Losses in the aggregate to which Parent and its Affiliates are entitled to be indemnified hereunder exceed $250,000 (the “Seller Loss Threshold”), at which time Parent shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for all such Losses, including the amount of the Seller Loss Threshold; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation set forth in this Section 8.6(c) shall not apply to Losses that are recoverable pursuant to

-52-

Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.3(d). In determining the amount of Losses for which the Seller or its Affiliates are entitled to be indemnified by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.3(a) for a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty (but not for determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred or an inaccuracy in any representation or warranty exists), any materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard contained in the applicable representation or warranty shall be disregarded. In no event shall Purchaser’s actual cumulative liability for Losses in connection with the Transactions exceed ten percent 10% of the Purchase Price. Each Loss for which Parent or its Affiliates is entitled to recovery shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds to which Parent or its Affiliates is entitled with respect to such Loss and (ii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment that Parent or its Affiliates receives from any third party with respect to such Loss .

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Losses include a party’s incidental or consequential damages or special or punitive damages to such party.

Section 8.7. No Duplication; Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) Purchaser and Parent hereby acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole remedy with respect to any and all claims arising in connection with the Transactions (other than with respect to fraud or willful breach) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 8.

Section 8.8. No Additional Representations or Warranties.

Purchaser acknowledges that, should the Closing occur, except as expressly set forth in the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the schedules, certificates or other Transaction Documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, there are no representations or warranties by Sellers or the Company of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Company or the Purchased Business.

Section 8.9. Tax Claims.

(a) Parent Tax Indemnity. Parent shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless from and against the following (net of the amount of the net

-53-

present value of any Tax Benefits actually realized by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiary), provided that Purchaser shall and shall cause its Affiliates to use reasonable best efforts to maximize the utility of any deductible item, as a result of the payment or accrual of any of the following):

(i) any liability for income Taxes imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiary as a member of the Affiliated Group of which Parent (or any predecessor or successor) is the common parent that arises under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) or comparable provisions of foreign, state or local law; and

(ii) any liability for Taxes imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiary, or for which the Company or the Company Subsidiary may otherwise be liable, for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period deemed to end on and include the Closing Date.

(iii) any and all Taxes of any person (other than the Company and the Company Subsidiary) imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiary, as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing.

(b) Purchaser Tax Indemnity. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Parent and its Affiliates harmless from and against the payment or accrual of Taxes imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiary for any taxable year or period that begins after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

(c) Procedure for Tax Claims. Each party hereto shall notify the chief tax officer of the other party in writing within fifteen (15) days following receipt by such party of written notice of any pending or threatened audits, notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim which could affect the liability for Taxes of such other party. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice of a Tax Claim hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Parent shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to represent the interests of the Company and the Company Subsidiary in any Tax Claim relating to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and to employ counsel of its choice. In the case of a Straddle Period, Parent shall be entitled to participate at in any Tax Claim relating in any part to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period deemed to end on or before the Closing Date and, at Parent’s sole discretion, may assume the control of such Tax Claim. None of Purchaser,

-54-

any of its Affiliates, the Company or the Company Subsidiary may settle or otherwise dispose of any Tax Claim for which Parent may have a liability under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent may be withheld in the reasonable discretion of Parent, unless Purchaser fully indemnifies Parent in writing with respect to such liability. If Parent elects not to participate in and/or control a Tax Claim that it is entitled to participate in and/or control under this Section 8.9(c), then Purchaser shall control, at Purchaser’s sole expense, such Tax Claim, provider, however, that (i) Purchaser shall keep Parent informed of all developments related to such Tax Claim on a timely basis and shall, in good faith, (A) afford Parent the opportunity to review any submissions related to such Tax Claim and (B) provide Parent with final copies of all such submissions, and (ii) Purchaser shall not resolve such Tax Claim without Parent’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld.

(d) Resolution of All Tax-Related Disputes. If Parent and Purchaser cannot agree on the calculation of any amount relating to Taxes or the interpretation or application of any provision of this Agreement relating to Taxes, such dispute shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to each of Parent and Purchaser, whose decision shall be final and binding upon all persons involved and whose expenses shall be shared equally by Parent and Purchaser.

Section 8.10. Tax Effect of Indemnification Payments.

All indemnity payments made by Parent to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the consideration paid with respect to the Shares.
