(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Acquired Corporation or any Stockholder contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that no indemnification shall be payable by Stockholders with respect to any claim for Losses arising out of, based upon, or in connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by Stockholders: (i) asserted by Purchaser after the expiration or termination date, if any, prescribed for such representation or warranty in Section 5.04; (ii) except with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties in (a) Section 1.04 related to liabilities on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, asserted within 120 days of the Closing, (b) Section 1.04,  relating to taxes,  and (c) Section 1.12, until the total of such otherwise recoverable claims for indemnification shall e xceed $40,000, at which time Purchaser shall be entitled to recover the amount of all such claims in excess of such amount; and (iii) in an aggregate amount (x) in excess of the sum of the  amounts delivered by Purchaser to the Representative pursuant to Sections 3.01(b)(i), (ii),  (iii), and with respect to the receivables and earned but unbilled amounts which appear on the Closing Date Balance Sheet; (y) minus $600,000.

 

(b) any breach of any Covenant or agreement of Acquired Corporation or any Stockholder contained in Article IV of this Agreement.

 

The foregoing agreement to indemnify shall be in addition to any liability Stockholders may otherwise have, including liabilities arising under this Agreement.

 

 

To satisfy the obligations of the Stockholders to indemnify the Purchaser for claims under Section 3.03, other than those related to the Closing Date Balance Sheet and asserted within 120 days of the Closing Date or Section 1.04 (relating to taxes),  the Purchaser shall satisfy the Stockholders indemnification obligations (i)  from the Earnout Payments payable to the Representative under Section 3.01(b)(iii),  (ii) from any amounts payable to the Representative with respect to the Shell Payments under Section 3.01(b)(ii), and (iii) from any amounts payable to the Representative with respect to the receivables and earned but unbilled amounts which appear on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, in an amount equal to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses whatsoever incurred or demonstra bly in prospect of being incurred by any Indemnitee with respect to which such Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 3.03.

IV. Covenants and Agreements

 

 

 

The Purchaser shall receive at the Closing from each person who is, or who at any time between that date which is one year prior to the date of this Agreement and the date of this Agreement was, an officer or a director of Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary an agreement not to compete, substantially in the form of Exhibit F.

 

 

The Purchaser shall receive at the Closing from each person who is, or who at any time between that date which is one year prior to the date of this Agreement and the date of this Agreement was, an officer or a director of Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary an agreement to keep confidential certain data, substantially in the form of Exhibit G.

 

 

The Stockholders shall insure that all confidential information which Acquired Corporation, the Indian Subsidiary, any of their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents, investment bankers, or accountants, or any Stockholder or any of his counsel, agents, investment bankers, or accountants may now possess or may hereafter create or obtain relating to the financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, assets, liabilities, or future prospects of Acquired Corporation, the Indian Subsidiary, the Purchaser, any affiliate of any of them, or any customer or supplier of any of them or any such affiliate shall not be published, disclosed, or made accessible by any of them to any other person or entity at any time or used by any of them except for the benefit of Acquired Corporation and the Indian Subsidiary , in each case without the prior written consent of the Purchaser; provided, however, that the restrictions of this sentence shall not apply (a) as may otherwise be required by law, (b) as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, or (c) to the extent such information shall have otherwise become publicly available.  Stockholders shall, and shall cause all other such persons and entities to, deliver to the Purchaser all tangible evidence of such confidential information to which the restrictions of the foregoing sentence apply at the Closing.

 

 

Each Stockholder fully and unconditionally releases and discharges all claims and causes of action which he or his heirs, personal representatives, or assigns ever had, now have, or hereafter may have against the Purchaser, Acquired Corporation, or the Indian Subsidiary, or, when acting as such, their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents, and stockholders, in each case past, present, or as they may exist at any time after the date of this Agreement, except claims and causes of action arising out of, based upon, or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement executed on the date hereof.

 

 

Each Stockholder agrees, in consideration of the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder:  (a) for a period of five years after the Closing Date, he will not compete with or be engaged in the same business as, or Participate In (as hereinafter defined in this Section 4.05) any other business or organization which at any time during the five-year period after the Closing Date competes with or is engaged in the same business as, Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary, with respect to any product or service sold or activity engaged in up to the time of the Closing in any geographical area in which at the time of the Closing such product or service is sold or activity engaged in; (b) he will not directly or indirectly reveal the name of, solicit or interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from Acquired Corporation, the I ndian Subsidiary, or the Purchaser, any of their respective suppliers, customers, or employees; and (c) he will not directly or indirectly employ any person who, at any time up to the Closing Date, was an employee of Acquired Corporation, the Indian Subsidiary, or the Purchaser, within a period of two years after such person leaves the employ of such corporation.  As used in this Section 4.05, “Participate In” shall mean “directly or indirectly, for his own benefit or for, with, or through any other person or entity, own, manage, operate, control, loan money to, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, or be connected as a director, officer, employee, partner, consultant, agent, independent contractor, or otherwise with, or acquiesce in the use of his name in.”  Each Stockholder agrees that the provisions of this Section 4.05 are necessary and reasonable to protect Acquired Corporation, the Indian Subsidiary, and the Purchaser in the c onduct of their businesses.  If any restriction contained in this Section 4.05 shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration, or geographical scope thereof, or otherwise, then the court making such determination shall have the right to reduce such extent, duration, geographical scope, or other provisions hereof, and in its reduced form such restriction shall then be enforceable in the manner contemplated hereby.  The foregoing shall not be considered to limit any Stockholder from teaching in any educational or non-profit institution.

 

 

The Stockholders agree to file, within the time allowed by law, all federal, state, local, and foreign tax returns with the appropriate jurisdictions, for all tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date, to include therein all information required to be contained therein relating to Acquired Corporation, and to pay all Taxes with respect to Acquired Corporation pertaining to periods ending on or before the Closing Date.  The Stockholders shall deliver such income tax returns, and where filing deadlines permit, all other returns to Purchaser for comment and approval not later than 30 days prior to the due date for filing.  The Stockholders shall be responsible for all taxes of the Indian Subsidiary related to periods on or before the Closing Date.  The Stockholders shall be entitled to any refunds of T axes with respect to the Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary relating to periods on or before the Closing Date. If necessary,  any taxes or tax refunds for periods beginning before and ending after the Closing Date shall be apportioned using a reasonable method to the periods before and after the Closing Date.

 

 

At the Closing, the Purchaser shall receive from each of the officers and directors of the Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary who is not a Stockholder a release, dated the Closing Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit H.

 

 

The Purchaser will provide the Stockholders with quarterly reports certified by an officer of the Purchaser of:

(i) the Shell Payments received during the quarter;

(ii) the Revenues (on an accrual basis) derived by Acquired Corporation from Acquired Corporation Products and Acquired Corporation Services (including maintenance) and the collections of  receivables; and

(iii)  any “commissions” Acquired Corporation generates from Purchaser selling its full scope simulation products to Husky Oil.

The Stockholders shall have the right on request to review the supporting documentation from which such reports are derived.

 

V.  Miscellaneous

 

 

If any person shall assert a claim to a fee, commission, or other compensation on account of alleged employment as a broker or finder on behalf of the Stockholders or the Acquired Corporation, or alleged performance of services as a broker or finder on behalf of the Stockholders or the Acquired Corporation, in connection with or as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Stockholders shall (subject to the next sentence) indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses whatsoever (as defined in Section 3.03) as and when incurred arising out of, based upon, or in connection with such claim by such person, and Stockholders shall at their sole expense defend any and all suits, actions, proceedings (formal or informal), or investigations involving such claim that may at any time be brought against any Indemnitee and satisfy promptly any settlement or judgment arising therefrom; but if Stockholders fail to defend such suit, action, proceeding, or investigation in a timely manner, the Purchaser or any Indemnitee made a defendant therein or a party thereto shall have the right to defend and settle the same and pay any judgment or settlement pertaining thereto as it or he may reasonably deem appropriate at the cost and expense of Stockholders.  If, however, it is ultimately determined in any such suit, action, or proceeding (in which the Purchaser and all Indemnitees made a defendant therein or a party thereto were afforded the opportunity to have their counsel participate in the defense) that the Purchaser or any Indemnitee (other than Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary) made a defendant therein or a party thereto was the sole employer of such broker or finder or services were performed solely for the Purchaser or any Indemnitee (ot her than Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary) made a defendant therein or a party thereto, then Stockholders shall not be responsible under this Section 5.01 and amounts theretofore paid by them by reason of this Section 5.01 shall be reimbursed by the Purchaser or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, who was the sole employer.

 

 

At any time and from time to time, each party agrees, at its or his expense, to take such actions and to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

 

 

Since a breach of the provisions of this Agreement could not adequately be compen­sated by money damages, any party shall be entitled, either before or after the Closing, in addition to any other right or remedy available to it, to an injunction restraining such breach or a threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement, and in either case no bond or other security shall be required in connection therewith, and the parties hereby consent to the issuance of such an injunction and to the ordering of specific performance.

 

 

The covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and any delivery of the purchase price by the Purchaser, irrespective of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties of Stockholders in Article I shall expire and terminate on June 30, 2012, except that those made in Sections 1.01, 1.02, 1.11 and 1.12 shall survive indefinitely, and those made in that portion of Section 1.04 relating to Taxes  and to Section 1.08 shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable thereto, notwithstanding any investigation by any party, and (b) the representations and warranties of the Purchaser in Article II shall survive indefinitely. The statements contained in an y certificate executed by Acquired Corporation, the Indian Subsidiary, any officer of director of the Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary, or any Stockholder delivered to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed representations and warranties, covenants and agreements, as the case may be, of Stockholders hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

 

Santosh Joshi will be the representative (the “Representative”) of the interests of Stockholders for all purposes of this Agreement.  Without giving notice to Stockholders, the Representative shall have full and irrevocable authority on behalf of Stockholders (a) to deal with the other parties to this Agreement, (b) to  direct the Purchaser to pay  the purchase price or any other amounts payable by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement to the Stockholders or such other persons as the Representative shall direct , (c) to accept and give notices and other communications relating to this Agreement, (d) to settle any dispute relating to the terms of this Agreement, (e) to modify or amend this Agreement, (f) to execute any instrument or document that the Representative may determine is necessary or desirable in the exercise of his authority under this Section 5.05, and (g) to act in connection with all matters arising out of, based upon, or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  In the event of the refusal or inability to serve, death, incapacity, or resignation for any reason of the Representative, Toshi Shinohara will become his successor, with all the powers and irrevocable authority of the Representative, and with full power of substitution.

 

Purchaser agrees to make any payment required under this Agreement according to the directions of the Representative in such amounts as may be determined by the Representative and to make any required reporting to US tax authorities and make all required US tax withholdings in connection with such payments. The Stockholders agree that the Purchaser shall not have any liability to the Stockholders for (i) any actions taken or not taken on their behalf by the Representative or (ii) following the directions of the Representative.

 

 

This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, and the other agreements executed by the parties on the date hereof set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersede all existing agreements among them concerning such subject matter, and may be modified only by a written instrument duly executed by each party or by an officer of each corporate party (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.05).

 

 

Subject to Section 5.05, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested (or by the most nearly comparable method if mailed from or to a location outside of the United States) or by Federal Express, Express Mail, or similar overnight delivery or courier service or delivered (in person or by telecopy or e-mail) against receipt to the party to whom it is to be given at the address of such party set forth in the preamble to this Agreement (or to such other address as the party shall have furnished in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.07) with a copy to each of the other parties hereto.  Any notice given to any corporate party shall be addressed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary.&# 160; Notice to the estate of any party shall be sufficient if addressed to the party as provided in this Section 5.07.  Any notice or other communication given by certified mail (or by such comparable method) shall be deemed given at the time of certification thereof (or comparable act), except for a notice changing a party’s address which will be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.  Any notice given by other means permitted by this Section 5.07 shall be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.

 

 

Any waiver by any party of a breach of any term of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of that term or of any breach of any other term of this Agreement.  The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions will not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.  Any waiver must be in writing and, in the case of a corporate party, be authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors or by an officer of the waiving party.

 

 

The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of Stockholders in this Agreement are joint and several, but no Stockholder shall have any rights against Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary if a remedy is sought or obtained against any Stockholder because both Acquired Corporation or the Indian Subsidiary and one or more Stockholders breach a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement.

 

 

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Acquired Corporation and the Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns and each Stockholder and his assigns, heirs, and personal representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of each Indemnitee and its successors and assigns (if not a natural person) and his assigns, heirs, and personal representatives (if a natural person).

 

 

This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any person not a party to this Agreement (except as provided in Section 5.10).

 

 

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the balance of this Agreement shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circum­stance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

 

 

The headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  It shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware, without giving effect to conflict of laws.  Any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of, based on, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought only in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and each party covenants and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, any claim that it or he is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that its or his property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that th e action, suit, or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit, or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.  Both parties agree to waive any right to a jury for any proceeding resolving a dispute under this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
