RECITALS: WHEREAS, CLKS wishes to sell, and NIIT wishes to buy, certain assets used by CLKS to provide custom e-learning content development services upon the terms and conditions set forth below. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SELECTED ASSETS: 1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on or before January 31, 2002 ("Closing"), CLKS will sell, transfer, assign and convey to NIIT, and NIIT will purchase and accept from CLKS, all right, title and interest in and to the assets of the Business described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances (collectively, the "Purchased Assets"). As used herein the "Business" means the custom e-learning content development business currently conducted by CLKS, other than business with the Washington National Guard. 1.2 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NIIT will pay CLKS at the Closing as follows: 1.2(a) One Million U.S. Dollars (US $1,000,000) on the date thereof by check. 1.2(b) If applicable, the contingent payments described on Schedule 1.2(b) attached hereto. 1.2(c) If applicable, the commission described on Schedule 1.2(c) attached hereto. 1.3 As of the Closing, CLKS will grant to NIIT an exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use the software developed by CLKS and identified on Exhibit "A" attached hereto in both executable object code and source code format ("CLKS Software") as necessary to allow NIIT to conduct the Business in substantially the same manner as CLKS has previously conducted the Business (the "CLKS Software License"). CLKS will not be responsible for support and maintenance of the CLKS Software, and NIIT may make such modifications or enhancements to the CLKS Software as it sees fit for the exercise of the license granted hereby. Any modifications to the CLKS Software created by NIIT will be NIIT's exclusive property. NIIT agrees that it shall not disclose any of the source code for the CLKS Software to any third party other than employees, consultants or independent contractors of NIIT who have signed confidentiality agreements with respect to the CLKS Software at least as protective of CLKS's rights as this Agreement or to customers receiving portions of the source code in connection with services deliverables created by NIIT using the CLKS Software, with respect to such portions. CLKS will use CLKS Software only in the context of other CLKS products and in the conduct of business with the Washington National Guard. CLKS Software used predominately in the Business ("Business Software") will be transferred to NIIT and included in the definition of "Purchased Assets". 1.4 NIIT will not acquire and CLKS will not transfer to NIIT the personnel and assets used to provide custom e-learning content development services to the Washington National Guard ("WNG"), which personnel and assets are identified on Exhibit "A". CLKS shall be free to continue to provide custom e-learning content development services to WNG following the Closing. This disclosure will not in any way restrict CLKS' ability to make changes to the personnel and asset structure of its WNG business from that set forth on Exhibit A. 1.5 NIIT will attempt to enter into a service agreement directly with each current CLKS Business client after the date hereof ("CLKS Client"). CLKS will use best efforts to introduce NIIT to all CLKS Clients and prospects listed on Exhibit "B" at mutually acceptable times as soon as possible hereafter. NIIT will cause appropriate personnel to be timely available for such introductions. 1.6 All employees of the Business are identified on Exhibit "C" ("Business Employees"). NIIT will identify up to fifteen (15) key employees of CLKS ("Key Employees") listed on Exhibit "C" whose continued employment is, in the opinion of NIIT, critical to the success of the Business. NIIT will offer employment to the Key Employees shortly after Closing. NIIT shall offer such Key Employees a salary with NIIT that is at least equal to the salary such Key Employees are currently being paid by CLKS. Each Key Employee will be required to sign NIIT's standard noncompetition, non-solicitation and confidentiality agreement. Those Business Employees not hired by NIIT may not be retained or rehired by CLKS in any capacity for a period of three months after Closing. Any Key Employee who does not accept NIIT's offer of employment, any amount will not be retained or rehired by CLKS in any capacity for a period of three years after Closing. 2 1.7 NIIT is not assuming any liabilities or obligations of CLKS with respect to the Business, all of which will be retained by CLKS ("Excluded Liabilities"), other than the obligation to comply with the license agreements for third party software licenses transferred. 2.

Qualified Revenues are deemed to be earned when the revenue is under contract to be delivered within 24 months from the contract date, i.e., when an order for the work to be delivered within 24 months has been placed with NIIT and accepted by them. However in the case of Research and Development work assigned to NIIT by CLKS, Qualified Revenues are deemed to be earned when the revenue is under contract to be delivered within the year, and a sum not exceeding $0.5M beyond the year. Contingent payments are based on cumulative Qualified Revenues during 2002 and 2003 and are due as follows: December 31, 2002:
If Qualified Revenue is: Contingent Payment* is: - ----------------------- ---------------------- Less than $4,000,000 None $4,000,000 to $8,599,999 $500,000 + $1.00 for every $9.00 of Qualified Revenue over $4,000,000 $8,600,000 and over $1,000,000
*December 31,2002 contingent payment may rollover into 2003 as described below. December 31, 2003:

Rollover of December 31, 2002 payment: If the December 31, 2002 contingent payment is less than $1,000,000, then the contingent payment may rollover into 2003 and will come due at the following times: - If there was no contingent payment due at December 31, 2002, then $500,000 becomes due when cumulative Qualified Revenue equals $4,000,000 and an additional $500,000 when cumulative Qualified Revenue equals $8,600,000; provided that if at December 31, 2003 the cumulative Qualified Revenue is between $4,000,000 and $8,600,000, then the contingent payment due at December 31, 2003 will be $1.00 for every $9.00 of cumulative Qualified Revenue over $4,000,000. - If there was a contingent payment due at December 31, 2002 but such payment was less than $1,000,000, then the difference between $1,000,000 and the contingent payment actually made on December 31, 2002 becomes due when cumulative qualified revenue equals $8,600,000; provided that if at December 31, 2003 the cumulative Qualified Revenue is between $4,000,000 and $8,600,000, then the contingent payment due at December 31, 2003 will be $1.00 for every $9.00 of cumulative Qualified Revenue received during 2003. Any rollover payment will be due 30 days from the date the Qualified Revenue target at which such payment is earned is achieved. 14 Records and Audit. NIIT shall keep accurate records and books of account concerning the calculation of contingent payments (or, as to Schedule 1.2(c), commission) due to CLKS as may be required to adequately determine and verify the amounts owed CLKS hereunder, which records shall be preserved by NIIT in a safe place for a period of two years following the applicable report date. During such time, CLKS or its independent certified public accountants shall have the right, at CLKS expense, to audit during NIIT's regular business hours and upon reasonable notice to NIIT, NIIT's records concerning the calculation of contingent payment (or, as to Schedule 1.2(c), commission) for the purpose of verifying the amount of the payments due to CLKS hereunder. If an audit reveals that NIIT has underpaid the amounts due to CLKS, NIIT shall promptly pay to CLKS the amount of the underpayment together with any late fees from the date or dates any unpaid amounts would originally have become due. If such underpayment exceeds 5% of the total amount actually owed, NIIT shall promptly reimburse CLKS for its costs and expenses in performing such audit. If such audit reveals that NIIT has overpaid, CLKS shall refund the amount of the overpayment or provide NIIT with a credit on its account in the amount of the overpayment, which shall be applied against the next contingent payments (or, as to schedule 1.2(c),commissions) becoming due. 15 SCHEDULE 1.2(c) - COMMISSION PLAN All Business revenue to NIIT through CLKS's relationships including (a) current clients; (b) strategic partnerships transferred to NIIT; and (c) introductions made by CLKS and accepted by NIIT will be counted toward fulfilling the Commission Plan obligations ("Revenue").

Terms - CLKS may choose to roll over revenue beyond $8M in the first year to the second year. In that case, the additional commission will not be payable for the revenue rolled over in the 1st year - Commission will be paid upon collection, but accrues at time of contract execution, i.e, if a contract on which commission is payable is signed during 2006 but payment is not collected until 2007, commission is still payable - Contract Research and Development services and other such CLKS work contracted to NIIT will not be eligible for commissions but will count as Qualified Revenue. - All revenue counts as Qualified Revenue for contingent payments, even if no commission is payable. * The extension to years 2005-2006 is subject to continuance of the non-compete for content development Payments and Reporting. NIIT shall make quarterly payments of commissions in accordance with the reports described below. Reports and payment are due 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter. All payments hereunder shall be in United States dollars. NIIT shall pay CLKS a finance charge of 1.5% per month on all amounts which are past due. Reports.
