Any items not disputed in a valid Objection shall be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer.

Within fifteen (15) days following the reference of such dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm, each Party shall submit its position with respect to any unresolved elements of the Objection to the Independent Accounting Firm in writing (with a copy to the other Party), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies. Failure to do so without reasonable cause shall constitute a withdrawal by the applicable Party of its position with respect to any unresolved elements of the Objection to which such failure relates. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make its determination based solely on the provisions of this Section 3.2 and the submissions of the Parties, and not by independent review, and shall review only those issues still in dispute and only as to whether such amounts were arrived at in conformity with the Net Working Capital Practices and Methodologies and Section 3.2(b) hereof or contain mathematical errors on their face. The Independent Accounting Firm shall review the written submissions from the Parties and shall deliver their written opinion setting forth the proper amount of any disputed item within the scope of their review within a reasonable time following its receipt of such written submissions of the Parties. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm is limited to the unresolved portion of the Objection submitted by Buyer and the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by any Party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by any Party. The Parties shall make readily available to the Independent Accounting Firm all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of the Parties respective accountants) relating to Objection and the Preliminary Working Capital Statement, respectively, and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Buyer.

The Preliminary Working Capital Statement, (A) as submitted by Seller if no timely Objection has been given, (B) as adjusted pursuant to any such agreement between the Parties or (C) as adjusted pursuant to such determination of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 3.2(d) hereof, is herein referred to as the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement.

TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEES
Section 8.1 Hiring of Employees.
(a) The Parties currently intend that there will be a continuity of employment for substantially all Business Employees following the Closing Date. As used herein, Business Employees means all of those employees of the Business listed on Schedule 8.1(a) who remain employed by Seller as of the Closing Date, and any other employees of Seller as of the Closing Date who are employed exclusively in the Business (including as of the Closing Date (x) those employees receiving salary continuation benefits under Sellers short-term disability and active employees on military leave or other approved absences, and (y) those employees absent from work pursuant to vacation, sick leave or other leave, including leave granted or required to be granted under the terms of the Family and Medical Leave Act; provided, that in the case of an employee described in clause (x) or (y), such employee is not receiving long-term disability benefits and is reasonably expected by Seller to return to active service within six months). As soon as practicable and at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, and effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall make offers of employment (the Offers) to substantially all of the Business Employees, which offers may be subject to routine background checks, on the terms set forth in Section 8.1(c). Except as set forth on Schedule 8.1(a), during the past six months none of the Business Employees were transferred to the Business other than in the ordinary course of business. All Business Employees who accept Buyers offer of employment shall cease to be employees of Seller and shall become Buyers employees as of the date immediately following the Closing Date (the Transferred Employees). Buyer shall not have any obligation to hire any Business Employee or any other employee of Seller that does not accept an Offer.
(b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer does not assume or agree to discharge any liability of Seller under COBRA with respect to any current or former employees of Seller.
(c) Buyer agrees that each Offer will be for compensation (including incentive opportunity but excluding equity based compensation) for the benefit of each Business Employee that, when taken as a whole, is at least as favorable as such compensation provided to such employee as set forth in the updated compensation information provided to Buyer in
-48-
accordance with this Section 8.1(c). Seller has provided Buyer with such compensation information as of the date hereof and will provide Buyer with updated information at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing. In addition, each Offer will provide that the applicable Business Employee shall be eligible to participate in all of Buyers welfare benefit plans generally available to its employees and Buyers 401(k) plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer agrees that each Offer will be (i) for a comparable work location (which must be within fifty (50) miles of such employees current work location), and (ii) for comparable job functions. Buyer shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 8.1(c) as to any Business Employee who actually accepts his or her Offer.
(d) To the extent that a Transferred Employee commences participation in any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (each such plan, program or arrangement, a Buyer Plan) following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and the applicable Buyer Plan to use commercially reasonable efforts to, (i) credit each Transferred Employees service with Seller or any Subsidiary or any predecessor employers thereto, to the extent credited under the analogous Benefit Plan, as service with Buyer for benefit eligibility only under such Buyer Plan; provided, however, that, to the extent the Transferred Employees participate in Buyers severance and vacation plans, such Transferred Employees shall also receive such service credit for benefit accrual purposes under such analogous Buyer Plan (if any); provided, further, that in no event shall the Transferred Employees be entitled to any credit to the extent that it would result in duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service, (ii) cause any and all pre-existing condition limitations, eligibility waiting periods, active employment requirements and requirements to show evidence of good health under such Buyer Plan, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods would have been waived or satisfied under the analogous Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, to be waived with respect to such Transferred Employee and such individuals spouse and eligible dependents who become participants in such Buyer Plan and (iii) give credit for or otherwise take into account under such Buyer Plan the out-of-pocket expenses and annual expense limitation amounts paid by each Transferred Employee under the analogous Benefit Plan for the year in which the Closing Date occurs.
(e) Seller will pay each Transferred Employee for their earned but unused vacation days accrued in accordance with Sellers applicable policies as of the Closing Date.
(f) Prior to the Closing, at its sole cost and expense, Seller shall take all actions necessary to comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, with respect to the Business Employees. If Buyer takes any action after the Closing Date which independently, or in connection with any reduction in the size of the Businesss work force occurring within the ninety (90) day period on or prior to the Closing Date, could be construed as a plant closing or mass layoff, as those terms are defined in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, Buyer shall be responsible for providing any notice required by the such act and Buyer shall be solely responsible for any and all penalties and costs (of Buyer or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates), if any, which may result from any failure to provide any notice required by such act, regardless of whether the applicable termination of employment occurred prior to, on, or following the Closing Date.
-49-
(g) From the Closing Date until six (6) months following the Closing Date, Buyer will provide all Transferred Employees with a severance plan or policy that provides cash severance benefits no less favorable to such employees than the Unisys Supplemental Unemployment Benefits Plan effective January 1, 2009, and, for all purposes with respect to such severance plan or policy, will provide the Transferred Employees with credit for past service in accordance with Section 8.1(d).
(h) This Article VIII is not intended to, and does not, create any rights or obligations to or for the benefit of anyone other than the Parties.

(a) All claims for indemnification by a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (an Indemnified Party) shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 11.4. As soon as is reasonably practicable after an Indemnified Party or any of its respective Affiliates, Representatives, successors and permitted assigns, as the case may be, becomes aware of any claim for which it is entitled to recover Losses under this Article XI, such Indemnified Party shall notify the other party (the Indemnifying Party) in writing (the Claim Notice), which shall describe the claim in reasonable detail and shall specify, in reasonable detail, to the extent known, the facts underlying the nature of the claim and the basis for indemnification, and in furtherance of the foregoing, in the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or Legal Proceeding by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall give such notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the time any response to the asserted claim is required, and in any event, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (or as soon as practicable prior to the expiration of the response period if less than ten (10) Business Days); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the personal delivery or receipt of the Claim Notice (the Notice Period) to notify the Indemnified Party: (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim or demand; and (ii) in the case of a third party claim, whether or not it will defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party declines to defend the claim or demand, then the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its liability or if the Indemnifying Party does dispute its liability and the resolution of such dispute is against the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party, it shall so notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period, and the Indemnifying Party shall defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense including the settlement of any case that involves solely monetary damages without the consent of the Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense, it may do so at its sole cost and expense, provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, based on advice of counsel to the Indemnifying Party, have conflicting or different claims or defenses, then the Indemnifying Party shall not have control of such conflicting or differing claims or defenses and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to appoint a separate counsel for such claims and defenses, at the cost and expense (not to be unreasonable) of the Indemnifying Party. If the
-55-
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, so long as the Indemnifying Party is in good faith defending such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not settle a claim or demand for which it is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand, except such consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required with respect to monetary damage awards (for which the Indemnifying Party has received, as an unconditional term of such settlement, an unconditional release by claimant or plaintiff from all Losses in connection with such claim or demand). The Indemnified Party will diligently and fully cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, its counsel, experts and other relevant persons in the defense of any claim or demand including providing access, during normal business hours, to relevant facilities and to business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel and other relevant persons of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall use its reasonable efforts to defend all such claims for which it has assumed the defense.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision, Seller shall be entitled to control in all respects any claims or Legal Proceedings relating to Taxes based on or related to income of Seller or any of its Affiliates and any other claims or Legal Proceedings relating to Taxes of Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to participate in any such Legal Proceeding if the outcome of such proceeding could have an adverse effect on Buyer or the Business, and Seller shall not settle such proceeding without Buyers consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 11.5 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree to treat any amounts payable after the Closing by Seller to Buyer (or by Buyer to Seller) pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a Tax authority.
Section 11.6 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary:
(a) No Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder from Seller with respect to any inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach of a representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement (a Breach) if, on the date hereof, Seller establishes that (i) any of the persons listed on Schedule 1.1(e) hereof had actual knowledge of the existence of such Breach and (ii) none of the persons listed on Schedule 1.1(f) had actual knowledge of such Breach; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit Sellers obligations under Section 11.2(a)(iii).
(b) No Seller Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder from Buyer with respect to a Breach if, on the date hereof, Buyer establishes that (i) any of the persons listed on Schedule 1.1(f) hereof had actual knowledge of the existence of such Breach and (ii) none of the persons listed on Schedule 1.1(e) had actual knowledge of such Breach; provided that the foregoing shall not limit Buyers obligations under Section 11.3(a)(iii).
(c) Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer against any Current Liabilities included in the Closing Date Net Working Capital.
-56-
(d) If an Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds for a claim as a result of Losses relating to a matter for which the Indemnified Party has also been indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay the amount of such insurance proceeds to the Indemnifying Party, up to the amount previously paid by such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party as indemnification hereunder in relation to such matter, or if such Indemnifying Party has not yet satisfied the indemnification claim of the Indemnified Party, the amount such Indemnifying Party is obligated to pay the Indemnified Party with respect to such matter shall be reduced by the amount of such insurance proceeds that such Indemnified Party has received.
Section 11.7 Remedies Exclusive; Mitigation. The remedies provided in this Article XI are the exclusive remedies of the Parties hereto for money damages after the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including any breach or non-performance of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein and therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereto shall each have and retain all rights and remedies existing in their favor under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, at law or in equity, to bring actions for specific performance or injunctive relief (including the remedy of rescission) to enforce or prevent a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. Each Person seeking indemnification hereunder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses (including without limitation using commercially reasonable efforts to exercise cure rights under contracts) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that any reasonable costs incurred by such Person in connection with such mitigation shall constitute Losses hereunder.
Section 11.8 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY HERETO BE LIABLE WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING LOSS OF REPUTATION OR GOODWILL, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THESE DAMAGES MAY BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT LOST PROFITS RESULTING FROM A BREACH OF THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OR OTHER TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT (EXCLUDED CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES) ARE NOT CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR PURPOSES OF ANY DAMAGE COMPUTATION AND ARE RECOVERABLE HEREUNDER.

The Parties need not execute the same counterpart.
Section 12.5 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits, the Confidentiality Agreement and the other Transaction Documents set forth the entire understanding of the Parties, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than the Confidentiality Agreement). Nothing herein, expressed or implied, shall create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto nor confer upon any person not a Party any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, except for those third party beneficiaries set forth in Section 11.2(a) and Section 11.3(a).
Section 12.6 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
Section 12.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Section 12.8 Enforcement; Venue. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. Each of the Parties further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Partys respective address set forth in Section 12.3 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any

objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in (a) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or (b) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.
Section 12.10 Schedules and Exhibits. All Exhibits and Schedules hereto are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement. Any information disclosed in any schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated into any other schedule if the applicability of such disclosure to such other schedule is reasonably apparent from the actual text of such disclosure without reference to further documentation. Any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule or Exhibit hereto shall not by reason only of such inclusion be deemed to be material and shall not be employed as a point of reference in determining any standard of materiality under this Agreement.
Section 12.11 Delivery. For purposes of this Agreement, references to the term delivered by Seller, delivered to Buyer or furnished or made available to Buyer or similar expressions shall mean that Seller has: (a) posted such materials to the Data Room and has given Buyer and its Representatives access to the materials so posted, (b) set forth such materials in the Schedules; or (c) has otherwise made such materials available in writing (whether tangible or electronic) to Buyer.
Section 12.12 Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either Party without the express prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempted assignment, without such consents, shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may assign this Agreement without such consent to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer shall be and remain jointly and severally liable for all obligations of Buyer and any such assignee under this Agreement.
Section 12.13 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, including monetary damages, that may be available to it.

Section 12.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 12.16 Further Assurances.
(a) Seller shall, at the Closing and from time to time thereafter, upon the request of Buyer, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, assignments, transfers, powers of attorney, assurances and instruments as Buyer may reasonably request to assign and transfer the Assets to Buyer and to assure to Buyer the continued possession, control and enjoyment of the Assets.
(b) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall update Schedule 1.1(i) to add any Unisys proprietary software (other than Excluded Assets) and any know-how of Transferred Employees related to use of such software in the Business that is primarily used, or otherwise necessary, in connection with the operation of the Business as of the Closing Date. Should Seller have failed to include such Unisys proprietary software on Schedule 1.1(i), upon written notice from Buyer to Seller within twenty one (21) months after the Closing Date, such item shall be added to Schedule 1.1(i) retroactively to the Closing Date.
