WHEREAS, the Stockholders are the owners and holders of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company;

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company;

WHEREAS, to complete such acquisition the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Directors of the Company have unanimously determined that the Merger is fair to and in the best interest of the stockholders of the Company, approved the Merger and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and recommended the approval of the Merger and approval and adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and agreements of the parties hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

1.01        The Merger.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company.  As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease to exist and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).




1.02        Closing; Closing Date; Effective Time.  The consummation of the Merger and the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Foley Hoag LLP, 155 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, on September 22, 2006 or on such other date as the parties hereto may mutually agree.  The date on which the Closing takes place is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”  As promptly as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the DGCL (the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger, or such later date or time agreed upon by Parent and the Company and set forth in the Certificate of Merger, being the “Effective Time”).

1.03        Effect of the Merger.  As of the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effect set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.04        Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.  At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws attached hereto as Schedule 1.04, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law.

1.05        Directors and Officers.  At the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.06        Merger Consideration.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any of the parties hereto or their respective stockholders:

(a)           Each share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred”), which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.11 and any Dissenting Shares (as defined below)), shall be converted into and represent the right to receive in the aggregate, an amount in cash (the “Series A Per Share Cash Consideration”) equal to the sum of (i) an amount equal to $300,000 (the “Liquidation Preference Amount”) divided by the number of shares of Series A Preferred issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Per Share Liquidation Preference”); plus (ii) the Cash Pro Rata Portion of a cash amount (the “Base Cash Merger Consideration”) equal to (A) $7,350,000 minus (B) the Transaction Expenses, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock (as defined below) into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to the Effective Time; plus (iii) at such time and to the extent it becomes distributable to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.08, the Cash Pro Rata Portion of any Earn-Out Payments, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to the Effective Time.  When used herein, the

2




term “Cash Pro Rata Portion” means the fraction obtained by dividing one by the sum of (A) the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred immediately prior to the Effective Time.  When used herein, the term “Cash Merger Consideration” means the sum of the Liquidation Preference plus the Base Cash Merger Consideration plus the Earn-Out Payments, if any.

(b)           Each share of the Company’s Common Stock, which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.11 and any Dissenting Shares) and held of record by Lachman shall be converted into and represent the right to receive an amount in cash (the “Common Stock Per Share Cash Consideration”) equal to the sum of (i) the Cash Pro Rata Portion of a cash amount equal to the Base Cash Merger Consideration; plus (ii) at such time and to the extent it becomes distributable to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.08, the Cash Pro Rata Portion of any Earn-Out Payments.

(c)           Each share of Common Stock which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.11 and any Dissenting Shares) and held of record by a Principal Stockholder shall be converted into and represent the right to receive: (i) an amount in cash equal to the Common Stock Per Share Cash Consideration; plus (ii) the Stock Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Stock Consideration (as defined below) (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”).  All of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 1.06(c) shall be subject to Lock-Up Agreements in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”) hereto.  When used herein, the term “Stock Pro Rata Portion” means the fraction obtained by dividing one by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by the Principal Stockholders.  When used herein, the term “Stock Consideration” means that number of shares of Parent’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Parent Common Stock”), equal to $2,000,000 divided by the Closing Stock Price.  When used herein, the term “Closing Stock Price” means the average of the closing sale prices per share of Parent Common Stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending two business days prior to the Closing Date as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board.

(d)           The Stockholders, the Company, Merger Sub and Parent acknowledge and agree that the total consideration to be paid by Merger Sub and Parent to the holders of any and all of the shares of the capital stock of the Company in connection with, and as a result of, the Merger (the “Total Consideration”) equals the sum of (x) $7,650,000 payable in cash plus (y) the Stock Consideration plus (z) the Earn-Out Payments, if any, and under no circumstances shall the Merger Consideration be an amount in excess of the Total Consideration.

1.07        Cancellation of Shares.  At the Effective Time, all of the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Shares”) shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate (as hereinafter defined) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive: (i) the Series A Per Share Cash Consideration, in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the Common Stock Per Share Cash Consideration, in the case of shares of Common Stock held by Lachman, and (iii) the

3




Common Stock Per Share Cash Consideration and the Per Share Stock Consideration, in the case of shares of Common Stock held by the Principal Stockholders.

1.08        Earn-Out Payments.

(a)           After the Effective Time, Parent shall make the following payments (the “Earn-Out Payments”):

(i)            In the event that the Net Revenues of the Surviving Corporation for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 (the “Third Quarter”) equal or exceed $800,000 (the “Third Quarter Threshold”), Parent shall pay the Stockholders an aggregate of $50,000 on or before the later of (x) December 1, 2006 and (y) the date that the Net Revenue Calculation is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.08(d); and

(ii)           In the event that the Net Revenues of the Surviving Corporation for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006 (the “Fourth Quarter”) equal or exceed $1,050,000 (the “Fourth Quarter Threshold”), Parent shall pay the Stockholders an aggregate of $50,000 on or before the later of (x) April 15, 2007 and (y) the date that the Net Revenue Calculation is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.08(d).

(b)           All calculations of the Net Revenues of the Surviving Corporation for the purposes of this Section 1.08 shall be made by Parent in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis.  For purposes of this Section 1.08, Net Revenues” shall mean gross revenues minus discounts and returns.

(c)           All payments of the Earn-Out Payments, if any, shall be made by corporate check payable to each of the Stockholders.  Each Stockholder shall be entitled to the Cash Pro Rata Portion of any Earn-Out Payment, multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case held of record by such Stockholder.

(d)           On or prior to November 15, 2006 and March 31, 2007, Parent shall prepare a calculation (the “Net Revenue Calculation”) of the Net Revenues of the Surviving Corporation for the Third Quarter and the Fourth Quarter, respectively, and deliver such calculation to the Stockholders’ Representative.  The Stockholders’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days to review the Net Revenue Calculation.  During such thirty (30) day period, the Stockholders’ Representative and his representatives and agents (including, without limitation, accountants), shall have full access to the financial records and financial personnel of the Surviving Corporation, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall reasonably cooperate with the Stockholders’ Representative and his representatives and agents, and shall assist the Stockholders’ Representative and his representatives and agents, to confirm and verify the accuracy of the information set forth in the Net Revenue Calculation.  Subject to Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 1.08, the failure of the Stockholders’ Representative to object to the Net Revenue Calculation on or prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, will constitute the acceptance by the Stockholders of the Net

4




Revenue Calculation.  If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers a written notice within such thirty (30) day period objecting to the Net Revenue Calculation (the “Net Revenue Protest Notice”), the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall in good faith attempt to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Net Revenue Calculation during a period of ten (10) days following the delivery of the Net Revenue Protest Notice.  If Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative fail to resolve the disagreement within such ten (10) day period, the items in dispute shall be referred to an accounting firm of national reputation as may be agreed to by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (the “Revenue Arbitrator”) for final determination as to whether the Third Quarter Threshold or the Fourth Quarter Threshold, as the case may be, has been met, within forty-five (45) days.  In connection with its determination, the Revenue Arbitrator shall use GAAP applied on a consistent basis.  During such forty-five (45) day period, (i) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall grant the Revenue Arbitrator full access to the Surviving Corporation’s financial records and financial personnel, and shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Revenue Arbitrator to confirm and verify the accuracy of the information set forth on the Net Revenue Calculation, and (ii) Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall be afforded reasonable opportunity to present their respective positions regarding the Net Revenue Calculation.  This provision for arbitration shall be specifically enforceable by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, and the determination of the Revenue Arbitrator in accordance with the provisions hereof as to whether the Third Quarter Threshold or the Fourth Quarter Threshold, as the case may be, has been met, shall be final and binding upon Parent and the Stockholders, with no right of appeal therefrom.  The fees and expenses of the Revenue Arbitrator shall be paid by the party (i.e., Parent, on the one hand, or the Stockholders, on the other hand), whose position as to whether the Third Quarter Threshold or the Fourth Quarter Threshold, as the case may be, has not been accepted by the Revenue Arbitrator.  The parties agree that any amounts required to be paid to the Revenue Arbitrator by the Stockholders hereunder, shall be paid out of the Escrow Amount, and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to make such payments.

1.09        Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a)           At the Effective Time, (i) an amount of $0.79352310 (the “Series A Per Share Escrow Amount”) shall be deducted from the Series A Per Share Cash Consideration, and (ii) an amount of $0.08004690 (the “Common Stock Per Share Escrow Amount”) shall be deducted from the Common Stock Per Share Cash Consideration, and the total aggregate of such deducted amounts equal to $850,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) shall be deposited by Parent with U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Escrow Agent”) and be subject to the terms of an Escrow Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”).

(b)           At the Effective Time, upon surrender of a certificate representing shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred (each, a “Certificate”) for cancellation to Parent duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank, by the holder thereof, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, with respect to each share of Common Stock or Series A Preferred represented by such Certificate:

5




(i)            In the case of a share of Series A Preferred, an amount equal to (A) the Per Share Liquidation Amount, plus (B) the Cash Pro Rata Portion of the Base Cash Merger Consideration;

(ii)           In the case of a share of Common Stock held by Lachman,  an amount equal to the Cash Pro Rata Portion of the Base Cash Merger Consideration; and

(iii)          In the case of a share of Common Stock held by a Principal Stockholder, (A) the Per Share Stock Consideration, and (B) an amount equal to the Cash Pro Rata Portion of the Base Cash Merger Consideration.

All cash payments to the Stockholders hereunder shall be made by bank or certified check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by each Stockholder, and the Stock Consideration shall be issued in the respective names of the Principal Stockholders.

1.10        Fractional Shares.  No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to Section 1.06 upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates.  In lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would have otherwise been issued, each former Principal Stockholder of the Company who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock shall, upon proper surrender of such person’s Certificates, receive a cash payment equal to the Closing Stock Price, multiplied by the fraction of a share that such Principal Stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive.

1.11        Cancellation of Treasury Shares.  All Shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time are owned by the Company, GlobalSCAPE or any of their respective subsidiaries, or held by the Company in its treasury, shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered with respect thereto; provided, that Shares held beneficially or of record by any plan, program or arrangement sponsored or maintained for the benefit of employees of the Company shall not be deemed to be held by the Company regardless of whether the Company has, directly or indirectly, the power to vote or control the disposition of such Shares.

1.12        Common Stock of Merger Sub.  Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the same number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.13        Lost Certificates.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the execution and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the Stockholder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and executing and delivering to GlobalSCAPE a customary agreement to indemnify GlobalSCAPE and the Surviving Corporation against any Claim that may be made against GlobalSCAPE or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, subject and pursuant to Article IX, the Surviving Corporation will pay to such Stockholder, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, at its own cost and

6




expense the Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Agreement.

1.14        Abandoned Property Laws.  The Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any holder of a Certificate for any cash properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.15        Stock Ledger.  At the Effective Time, the stock ledger of the Company relating to Shares outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of such Shares thereafter on the records of the Company.  At and after the Effective Time, any Certificates (other than Certificates representing Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.11 and any Dissenting Shares) presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in Section 1.06 (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) applicable to the Shares evidenced thereby, which consideration shall be fully paid and satisfied pursuant and in accordance with Article IX.

(f)            For purposes of this Section 2.23 and as otherwise referenced to in this Agreement:

(ii)           an entity is an “affiliate” of the Company or any of its affiliates for purposes of this Section 2.23 if it would have ever been considered a single employer with the Company or any of its affiliates under ERISA Section 4001(b) or part of the same “controlled group” as the Company for purposes of ERISA Section 302(d)(8)(C), and in any case includes each subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; and

2.25        Certain Payments.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company, nor any other Person acting for or on behalf of the Company, has directly or indirectly (a) made, offered or agreed to offer any contribution, gift, bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback, or other unlawful payment to any Person, private or public, regardless of form, whether in money, property, or services (i) to obtain favorable treatment in securing business, (ii) to pay for favorable treatment for business secured, (iii) to obtain special concessions or for special concessions already obtained, for or in respect of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, or (iv) in violation of any Legal Requirements, or (b) established or maintained any fund or asset that has not been recorded in the books and records of the Company.

2.26        Consents.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2.26, there are no (i) consents or approvals of any Governmental Body, (ii) filings with any Governmental Body (other than the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State), or (iii) notices, consents or waivers from other parties to any of the Material Contracts, that are required to be made or obtained by the Company for the lawful consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or that the Business can be conducted by the Surviving Corporation in substantially the same manner after the Closing as heretofore conducted by the Company (“Company Consents”).

46




9.02        Indemnification by the Stockholders.  Subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Stockholders hereby agree, severally, and not jointly, to indemnify and hold the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group harmless from, against and with respect to any and all demands, Claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, liabilities, losses, costs, damages (excluding incidental, consequential, special and punitive damages, lost profits, and diminutions in value), penalties, charges, or expenses including, without limitation, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, or related to (a) the Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or the Stockholders in this Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, or in the certificates referred to in Sections 8.07 and 8.09; provided, however, that, except as set forth in Section 9.05(e), under no circumstances shall any Stockholder be responsible, liable or obligated to indemnify any member of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group as a result of or in connection with the Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by any other Stockholder.

9.03        Indemnification by Parent.  Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Parent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Stockholder Indemnity Group harmless from, against and with respect to any and all Losses arising out of, or related to the Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, or in the certificates referred to in Sections 7.05 and 7.06.

9.04        Procedures.

(a)           In any case in which a party seeks indemnification hereunder and which does not involve an action, proceeding or Claim by a third-party (a “third party action”), any such Claim shall be made in a written statement signed by the party seeking indemnification (the “indemnified party”) which shall specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss and the estimated amount thereof, the date such item was claimed or the facts giving rise to such Claim were discovered, the basis for any alleged liability and the nature of the Breach or Claim to which each such item is related.

(b)           If the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “indemnifying party”) does not pay the amount specified in any such statement within thirty (30) days after it has been delivered by the indemnified party, the indemnified party may enforce its right in accordance with law.

(c)           In any case in which a party seeks indemnification hereunder and which involves a third-party action, the indemnified party shall promptly (but in no case later than five (5) days after receipt of notice of such action) give the indemnifying party(s) written notice of the commencement of the third party action which might give rise to liability of the indemnifying party(s) for indemnification hereunder.  Any failure so to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to such indemnified party under this Article IX unless and to the extent that such failure to so notify results in the indemnifying party being prejudiced in the defense of such action.  Such notice shall include (i) reasonably detailed specific facts and circumstances pertaining to such action, and (ii) true and complete copies of all documents served on or delivered to the indemnified

47




party in connection with such third party action.  The indemnifying party(s) will have the option to defend any third party action, at the indemnifying party’s expense and, upon the assumption of such defense, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party in connection with such matter; provided that the indemnified party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of such third party action.  However, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) if the indemnifying party elects not to defend any third party action, or (ii) if the third party action shall have been brought or asserted against the indemnifying party(s) as well as the indemnified party and such indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded in good faith based on advice of counsel that there is a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, then the indemnified party may elect to conduct its defense on its own behalf, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of the indemnified party’s counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party(s).  The indemnified party shall not enter into any settlement agreement without the indemnifying party’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The indemnifying party(s) shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of a third party action, if pursuant to or as a result of such judgment or settlement, injunctive or other equitable relief shall be imposed against the indemnified party or if such settlement does not expressly unconditionally release the indemnified party from all liabilities or obligations with respect to such third party action, with prejudice.  The indemnified party and the indemnifying party(s) shall cooperate with each other in the defense, compromise or settlement of any third party action for which indemnification is sought.

9.05        Limitations on Indemnification.  The provisions of this Article IX are subject to the following limitations:

(a)           Except as set forth in Sections 9.05(d) and 9.05(e), the Stockholders shall not have any obligation to indemnify any member of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group from and against any Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses to all members of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group exceed $100,000 (the “Deductible”), and the members of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group shall not have any obligation to indemnify any member of the Stockholder Indemnity Group from and against any Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses to all members of the Stockholder Indemnity Group exceed the Deductible.  Once the aggregate Losses exceed the Deductible, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against the total amount of all such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(b)           Except as set forth in Sections 9.05(d) and 9.05(e), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) in no case shall the aggregate indemnity obligations of any Stockholder to the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group for Losses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise exceed the amount of Cash Merger Consideration and/or Stock Merger Consideration that such Stockholder actually receives, (ii) in no case shall the aggregate indemnity obligations of all of the Stockholders to all members of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group exceed an amount equal to 15% of the aggregate Merger Consideration actually received by the Stockholders in the Merger (the “Cap”), (iii) in no case shall the indemnity obligation of any particular Stockholder with respect to any specific Loss exceed such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the amount of such Loss, and (iv) in no case shall the aggregate

48




indemnity obligations of any particular Stockholder to all members of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group exceed an amount equal to such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Cap.  For purposes of this Section 9.05(b), a Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share shall be a percentage equal to (A) the aggregate Merger Consideration actually received by such Stockholder in the Merger, divided by (B) the aggregate Merger Consideration received by all Stockholders in the Merger.

(c)           Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.05(a) and subject to Section 9.06, all Losses shall first be paid from the Escrow Amount and, to the extent the Escrow Amount is no longer available or sufficient during or at the end of the 18-month period contemplated by the Escrow Agreement, by the Stockholders.

(d)           Without limiting the proviso in Section 9.02, the provisions of Section 9.05(a) and clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 9.05(b) shall not apply, as to any particular Stockholder (but not to any other Stockholder), to: (i) the failure or refusal of such Stockholder to deliver good and marketable title to such Stockholder’s shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, free and clear of all Liens; (ii) out of pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group relating to the failure of any party to perform its obligations under this Article IX for purposes of such indemnification, to the extent, however, that the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group actually prevails in such legal proceedings; or (iii) any Claim involving such Stockholder’s fraud, fraud in the inducement or intentional misrepresentation.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the limitations set forth in Sections 9.05(a) and 9.05(b) shall not apply to the Breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.02(a) and 3.01, such that in the event of the Breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.02(a) or 3.01, the Stockholders shall have the following liabilities:

(i)            The Principal Stockholders shall be jointly and severally liable for all Losses suffered or incurred by the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group in the event of a Breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.02(a);

(ii)           Each Principal Stockholder shall be liable for all Losses suffered or incurred by the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group in the event of a Breach of any of the representations and warranties of such Principal Stockholder (but not any other Stockholder) pursuant to Section 3.01;

(iii)          Each of Lachman and LGV shall be liable for all Losses suffered or incurred by any member of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group up to the amount of the Cash Merger Consideration that each of Lachman and LGV actually receives pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the event of a Breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in any of Section 2.02(a); and

(iv)          Each of Lachman and LGV shall be liable for all Losses suffered or incurred by any member of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group, up to the amount of the Cash Merger Consideration that each of Lachman and LGV actually receives pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in the event of a Breach of any of the

49




representations and warranties of Lachman and LGV (but not any other Stockholder) pursuant to Section 3.01.

(f)            No indemnifying party shall have liability with respect to any representation or warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement unless a written Claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 9.04 is given by the indemnified party to the indemnifying party with respect thereto on or before the expiration of the applicable survival period for such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation as set forth in Section 9.01.

(g)           The Stockholders shall not be entitled to contribution or any other payments from the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any Losses that the Stockholders are obligated to pay.

9.06        Right of Offset.  In the event GlobalSCAPE shall be entitled (a) to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02 hereof or (b) any other payments or Claims from or against the Stockholders, GlobalSCAPE shall have the right to offset the amount of such Claim, debt or obligation against any amounts to be paid to the Stockholders in respect of the Earn-Out Payments (the “Right of Offset”).  For the removal of any doubt, it is hereby clarified that the Right of Offset shall not apply as to any amounts other than the Earn-Out Payments which may be due or payable by GlobalSCAPE to any Stockholder, whether under this Agreement or otherwise.  In the event it is later determined that GlobalSCAPE is not entitled to a recovery for the amount offset, GlobalSCAPE shall repay to the Stockholders the amount improperly offset plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate of 10% per annum from the date that payment would have been due had such amount not been improperly offset.  The Right of Offset shall in no way limit or impair any other remedies available to GlobalSCAPE.

9.07        Exclusive Remedy.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.05(b), the indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or any Breach, Claim or Loss hereunder (including a Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made in this Agreement or the certificates referred to in Sections 9.02 and 9.03); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall not (i) apply to any Employment Agreement, or (ii) limit the right of any party to equitable relief to the extent available.

9.08        Effect of Knowledge.

(a)           Except as set forth in Section 9.08(b) and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IX to the contrary, the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group shall not be entitled to bring a Claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX in connection with any Breach by the Company or the Stockholders of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, if Parent or Merger Sub had, as of the execution of this Agreement or as of the Closing, actual knowledge that such representation or warranty was not true, correct or complete.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IX to the contrary, the Company and Stockholders shall not be entitled to bring a Claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX in connection with any Breach by the Parent or Merger Sub of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, if the Company or the Stockholders had, as of the execution of this

50




Agreement or as of the Closing, actual knowledge that such representation or warranty was not true, correct or complete.

(b)           The right of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group to bring a Claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX in connection with any Breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.02(a) and 3.01 will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Closing Date or the Effective Time by Merger Sub and Parent and Merger Sub and Parent hereby reserve all rights either of them may have with respect to a Breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.02(a) and 3.01.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Sections 1.06(d), 2.02(a), 3.01, 9.07 and this Section 9.08(b) are material inducements for GlobalSCAPE to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

9.09        Subrogation.  To the extent that any member or members of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that such member or members of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group may have against any third party with respect to any Losses, circumstances or matter to which such indemnification is directly or indirectly related.  The GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group hereby permits the Stockholders’ Representative to use the name of the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group and their Affiliates in any transaction or in any proceeding or other matter involving any of such rights or remedies, and the GlobalSCAPE Indemnity Group shall take such actions as the Stockholders’ Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Stockholders’ Representative to perfect or exercise the right of subrogation under this Article IX.

(b)           By GlobalSCAPE giving written notice to the Company and the Stockholders in the event the Company or the Stockholders is in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 8.07 and 8.09 not to be satisfied and (ii) is not cured within 20 days following delivery by GlobalSCAPE to the Company and the Stockholders of written notice of such breach;

(c)           By the Company and the Stockholders giving written notice to GlobalSCAPE in the event Parent or Merger Sub is in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 7.05 and 7.06 not to be satisfied and (ii) is not cured within 20 days following delivery by the Company and the Stockholders to GlobalSCAPE of written notice of such breach; or

(d)           Unless otherwise specifically provided herein or agreed by the parties hereto, by any party hereto if all of such party’s conditions to the Closing have not been or cannot reasonably be satisfied or waived on or before 9:00 a.m., San Antonio, Texas, time on September 30, 2006, unless (i) the Closing has been extended by the parties’ agreement or (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the Closing results primarily from a breach by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01.

12.02      At the Closing.  At the Closing, this Agreement may be terminated and abandoned:

(a)           By GlobalSCAPE if any of the conditions precedent to GlobalSCAPE’s and Merger Sub’s obligations set forth in Article VIII above have not been fulfilled or waived at and as of the Closing; or
