ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made this 1st day of September 2006, by and among ViewCentral, Inc., a California corporation (“Seller”), Rainmaker Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Dan Tompkins, as representative of the shareholders of Seller (in such capacity, the “Representative”), and certain shareholders of Seller listed on the signature page hereto (each, a “Shareholder” and collectively, the “Shareholders”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Seller is engaged in the business of providing enterprise training and marketing program management solutions to business customers (the “Business”);

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase and acquire from Seller, and Seller desires to sell, assign and transfer to Buyer, certain of the assets of Seller in consideration for the purchase price, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, the parties intend that the transfer of Assets (as herein defined) will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Sale and Transfer of Assets. On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Seller agrees to sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to all of its assets, other than the Excluded Assets (as defined below) (such assets, other than the Excluded Assets, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Assets”), including, without limitation:

(a) the software products described on Exhibit A;

(b) the customer contracts relating to the Business identified on Exhibit A;

(c) all Intellectual Property rights of the Seller, and any licenses and sublicenses granted and obtained with respect thereto and rights thereunder, remedies against infringements thereof, and rights to protection of interests therein under the laws of all jurisdictions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property” shall mean any of the following: (1) U.S. and non-U.S. patents, and applications for either; (2) registered and unregistered trademarks, service marks and other indicia of origin, pending trademark and service mark registration applications, and intent-to-use registrations or similar reservations of marks; (3) registered and unregistered copyrights and mask works, and applications for registration of either; (4) internet domain names, applications and reservations therefor, uniform resource locators (“URLs”) and the corresponding Internet sites (collectively, the “Sites”); (5) trade secrets and proprietary information not otherwise listed in (1) through (4) above, including unpatented inventions, invention disclosures, moral and economic rights of authors and

inventors (however denominated), confidential information, technical data, customer lists, corporate and business names, trade names, trade dress, brand names, know-how, show-how, mask works, formulae, methods (whether or not patentable), designs, processes, procedures, technology, source codes, object codes, computer software programs, databases, data collections and other proprietary information or material of any type, and all derivatives, improvements and refinements thereof, howsoever recorded, or unrecorded; and (6) any good will associated with any of the foregoing;

(d) (i) all trade accounts receivable and other rights to payment from customers of Seller and the full benefit of all security for such accounts or rights to payment, including all trade accounts receivable representing amounts receivable in respect of goods shipped or products sold or services rendered to customers of Seller, (ii) all other accounts or notes receivable of Seller and the full benefit of all security for such accounts or notes and (iii) any claim, remedy or other right related to any of the foregoing;

(e) all cash, after giving effect to any payment of the liabilities described in Section 5(a) below; and

(f) all servers, desktop computers, laptop computers, computer hardware and other office equipment owned or leased by Seller (wherever located and whether or not carried on Seller’s books), together with any express or implied warranty by the manufacturers or sellers or lessors of any item or component part thereof and all maintenance records and other documents relating thereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood that Seller is not selling and Buyer is not buying (i) the minute books, stock record books, stock ledgers and tax records of Seller; and (ii) any assets of Seller set forth on Exhibit B (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”).

2. Purchase Price; Escrow.

(a) In full consideration for the purchase by Buyer of the Assets, Buyer shall cause to be issued to Seller on the Closing Date 754,968 unregistered shares of Buyer common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Buyer Shares”).

(b) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver 145,493 of the Buyer Shares (the “Escrow Fund”), to The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), which shall be held in escrow (the “Escrow”) subject to the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”) for the purposes of securing the Seller’s and the Shareholders’ indemnity obligations under this Agreement. Buyer Shares deposited into the Escrow Fund shall be deducted from the number of shares of Buyer Shares otherwise deliverable to Seller as set forth in Section 2(a) above. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (or, if such date is not on a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter), the Escrow Agent shall deliver all Buyer Shares remaining in the Escrow Fund to the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent may withhold from such delivery the equivalent of any amounts then in dispute relating to indemnification obligations

-2-

arising under this Agreement, provided that the withheld amount, to the extent not applied in satisfaction of indemnification obligations, shall be delivered to the Seller as described above promptly upon resolution of such dispute. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means shall mean any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banks located in San Francisco, California, shall be authorized or required by law to close.

(c) The parties intend that the transfer of the Assets will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code and hereby adopt this Agreement as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 354 of the Code, except as otherwise required by law. However, Buyer nor any attorney, accountant or other advisor of Buyer has made, nor makes, any representations or warranties to Seller or the Shareholders regarding the tax treatment of the transfer of the Assets and any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether the transfer of the Assets will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code, or any of the tax consequences contemplated hereby or thereby, and the Seller and the Shareholders acknowledge that the Seller and the Shareholders are relying solely on their own tax advisors in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Except as may be otherwise agreed in writing by the parties: (1) each party shall initially treat and report the transfer of the Assets as a reorganization for all applicable income tax purposes on their respective income tax returns; (2) except as otherwise required by law, no party shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment; and (3) except as otherwise required by law, from and after the Closing Date, no party shall take any action that my adversely affect the qualification for such treatment.

3. Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Pre-Closing Adjustments. The Seller has delivered to Buyer an estimated consolidated balance sheet for the Seller (the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and an estimated calculation of the Current Asset Value Shortfall (as defined below), in each case, measured as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the payment of, or reservation for, all liabilities and other obligations described in Section 5(a) below. The Seller shall also provide Buyer with copies of all work papers and other documents and data as were used to prepare the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet. If the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet shows a Current Asset Value Shortfall, the Buyer Shares issuable under Section 2(a) above shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such Current Asset Value Shortfall, and the Buyer Shares to be issued to Seller, as set forth in Section 2(a) above, shall be adjusted accordingly. As used herein, “Current Asset Value Shortfall” means the amount by which (x) current assets minus total liabilities, excluding deferred revenue and operating leases assumed by Buyer (in each case, determined on a consolidated basis for the Seller), is less than (y) $932,000.

(b) Post Closing Adjustments. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause its accountants to prepare and deliver to the Representative a consolidated balance sheet for the Seller (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and a calculation of the Current Asset Value Shortfall, in each case, measured as of the close of business on the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Buyer shall endeavor in good faith to cause its accountants to deliver to the Representative the Closing Date Balance Sheet and calculation of the Current Asset Value Shortfall within 60 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Closing Date Balance Sheet is not

-3-

delivered to the Representative by Buyer’s accountants within 60 days after the Closing Date, the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be the final consolidated balance sheet of Seller for purposes of this Section 3. Buyer shall also make available to the Representative copies of all work papers and other documents and data as was used to calculate the Closing Date Balance Sheet, and Buyer shall set out all proposed adjustments in reasonable detail in a written statement delivered to Representative. The Representative shall have the right to dispute the Closing Date Balance Sheet (and any items therein) and the accompanying calculation of the Current Asset Value Shortfall and make any proposed adjustments thereto as provided in Section 3(c) below. If it is determined after completion of the time and procedure described in Section 3(c) below that there is a Current Asset Value Shortfall in excess of the estimated Current Asset Value Shortfall and the Representative does not dispute such determination as described in Section 3(c) below, Buyer Shares in an amount equal to the excess Current Asset Value Shortfall shall be deducted from the Escrow Fund and delivered by the Escrow Agent to Buyer.

(c) Dispute Resolution Procedures. The Representative shall have until thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the accompanying Current Asset Value Shortfall calculation to review such calculation and propose any adjustments thereto. All adjustments proposed by the Representative shall be set out in reasonable detail in a written statement delivered to Buyer (the “Adjustment Statement”) and shall be incorporated into the Closing Date Balance Sheet, unless Buyer shall object in writing to such proposed adjustments (the proposed adjustment or adjustments to which Buyer objects are referred to herein as the “Contested Adjustments” and Buyer’s objection notice is referred to herein as the “Contested Adjustment Notice”) within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of the Adjustment Statement. If Buyer delivers a Contested Adjustment Notice to the Representative, Buyer and the Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute regarding the Contested Adjustments, but if a final resolution thereof is not obtained within ten (10) days after Buyer delivers to the Representative said Contested Adjustment Notice, either Buyer or the Representative may retain for the benefit of all the parties hereto a nationally recognized independent accounting firm acceptable to both the Representative and Buyer (the “Independent Accountant”) to resolve any remaining disputes concerning the Contested Adjustments. If the Independent Accountant is retained, then (i) the Representative and Buyer shall each submit to the Independent Accountant in writing not later than fifteen (15) days after the Independent Accountant is retained their respective positions with respect to the Contested Adjustments and their respective calculation of the Current Asset Value Shortfall, together with such supporting documentation as they deem necessary or as the Independent Accountant requests, and (ii) the Independent Accountant shall, within thirty (30) days after receiving the positions of both the Representative and Buyer and all supplementary supporting documentation requested by the Independent Accountant, render its decision as to the Contested Adjustments, which decision shall be final and binding on, and nonappealable by, the Representative and Buyer. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid one-half by the Shareholders and one-half by Buyer; provided, however, that if the Current Asset Value Shortfall as finally determined by the Independent Account and set forth in the Settlement Amount Certificate (defined below) is closer to the Current Asset Value Shortfall submitted by the Representative than to the Current Asset Value Shortfall submitted by Buyer, then Buyer shall pay 100% of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant. The decision of the Independent Accountant shall also include a certificate of the Independent Accountant setting forth the final Current Asset Value Shortfall calculation measured as of the Closing Date (the “Settlement Amount Certificate”). The Closing

-4-

Date Balance Sheet shall be deemed to include all proposed adjustments not disputed by Buyer and those adjustments accepted or made by the decision of the Independent Accountant in resolving the Contested Adjustments.

(d) Settlement Date. There shall be a “Settlement Date” after the calculation of the Current Asset Value Shortfall measured as of the Closing Date which shall mean the following, as applicable:

(i) If the Representative has not timely delivered an Adjustment Statement to Buyer, thirty-five (35) Business Days after the date the Representative receives the Current Asset Value Shortfall calculation;

(ii) If the Representative has timely delivered an Adjustment Statement and Buyer has not timely delivered a Contested Adjustment Notice, thirty-five (35) Business Days after the date Buyer receives the Adjustment Statement;

(iii) If the Representative and Buyer have any disputes regarding Contested Adjustments and they resolve those disputes, five (5) Business Days after such resolution;

(iv) Five (5) Business Days after the Independent Accountant delivers the Settlement Amount Certificate, if applicable; or

(v) Such other date as shall be mutually agreed between the Representative and Buyer.

(e) Price Per Buyer Share. For purposes of any calculations required under Section 2(b) above and this Section 3, each Buyer Share shall be deemed to have a per share value of $5.636 (as such price per share may from time to time be appropriately adjusted for stock splits or combinations, if any). Fractional share amounts resulting from any such calculations shall be rounded upwards to the nearest whole share.

4. Lock-Up; Securities Laws Restrictions; Legend.

(a) The Seller and each Shareholder agree that the Buyer Shares delivered to Seller at Closing (the “Delivered Shares”) shall only be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, disposed of or encumbered in accordance with the following:

(i) One hundred percent (100%) of the Delivered Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, disposed of or encumbered for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date;

(ii) Fifty percent (50%) of the Delivered Shares may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, disposed of or encumbered on the date commencing one hundred eighty-one (181) days after the Closing Date; and

-5-

(iii) The final fifty percent (50%) of the Delivered Shares may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, disposed of or encumbered on the date commencing three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the Closing Date.

Buyer Shares subject to the Escrow may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, disposed of or encumbered until such time as they are delivered to the Seller or such other person entitled thereto in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, at which time they may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, disposed of or encumbered.

(b) Notwithstanding the preceding Section 4(a), (i) the Seller and each Shareholder agrees that all sales, transfers, pledges, assignments, disposals or encumbrances of Buyer Shares shall be effected in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and (ii) the Seller may distribute Buyer Shares to the Shareholders at any time under and in accordance with the California Corporations Code or otherwise as permitted by applicable law (for the avoidance of doubt, the parties understand and agree that upon any such distribution the Shareholders shall remain bound by the provisions of this Section 4).

“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SALE AND TRANSFER IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, AND IF THE ISSUER REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A CONTRACTUAL LOCK-UP PERIOD PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT AMONG THE ISSUER, VIEWCENTRAL, INC. AND THE SHAREHOLDERS PARTY THERETO. IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND SUBJECT TO SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD, SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, DISPOSED OF, ENCUMBERED OR ASSIGNED AND THE ISSUER SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO GIVE EFFECT TO ANY ATTEMPTED SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, DISPOSAL, ENCUMBRANCE OR ASSIGNMENT. UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, THE ISSUER AGREES TO REMOVE THIS RESTRICTIVE LEGEND (AND ANY STOP ORDER PLACED WITH ITS TRANSFER AGENT) WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES THAT ARE NO LONGER BOUND BY THE LOCK-UP PERIOD.”

5. Assumption of Liabilities.

All such liabilities and obligations, other than the Assumed Liabilities, shall be retained by and remain liabilities and obligations of Seller (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall not assume and shall not be liable for any of the following liabilities or obligations of Seller or the Shareholders: (i) any and all taxes levied by and owing to any foreign, federal, state or local taxing authority with respect to the ownership or use of the Assets by Seller or the conduct of the Business by Seller; (ii) any liabilities or obligations related to the Excluded Assets or which are not directly incident to or arising out of or incurred with respect to the Business; (iii) all lawsuits, claims and other liabilities or obligations arising in connection with all actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings to the extent relating to the conduct of the Business by Seller or the ownership of the Assets by Seller; (iv) subject to Section 13(d) below, all liabilities or obligations relating to the employment, failure to employ or termination of employment of any individual with respect to the Business by Seller or relating to or under any labor agreements or employee benefit or compensation arrangements, plans, programs, policies, practices or agreements, including, without limitation, severance or accrued vacation pay, of Seller or for the benefit of employees of Seller; (v) any liability arising under Environmental Laws (as such term is defined in Section 6(j) hereof) with respect to the conduct of the Business by Seller; (vi) any indebtedness for borrowed money or otherwise of Seller or the Shareholders; (vii) any amounts payable to Seller’s affiliates; or (viii) any workers’ compensation claims relating to employees of Seller.

Seller and its affiliates shall not, without the approval of the Buyer, issue any press releases or otherwise make any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that Seller may, after the Closing Date, notify its shareholders, customers, accountants, attorneys, and any other persons or entities in the ordinary course of business.

(b) Notification of Certain Matters, Further Assurances. Seller shall give prompt notice to Buyer of any of the following which occurs, or of which it becomes aware, following the date hereof: (i) any notice of, or other communication relating to, a default or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default under any material contract as to cause a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) the occurrence or existence of any fact, circumstance or event which would result in (A) any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or in any Schedule, Exhibit or certificate delivered herewith, to be materially untrue or materially inaccurate or (B) the failure of any condition precedent to either party’s obligations; and (iii) any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller and the Buyer shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain any consents, execute any documents and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary to fulfill the objectives of this Agreement. Buyer shall give prompt notice to Seller of any of the following which occurs, or of which it becomes aware, following

-16-

the date hereof: (1) the occurrence or existence of any fact, circumstance or event which would result in (A) any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Schedule, Exhibit or certificate delivered herewith, to be materially untrue or materially inaccurate or (B) the failure of any condition precedent to either party’s obligations; and (2) any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Registration. As soon as commercially practicable, but no later than the date that is sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, and subject in either event to Seller and each Shareholder and each other holder, if any, of the Buyer Shares issued hereunder, (the “Share Recipients”) providing all required information in connection with the below described registration a reasonable amount of time prior to such date, Buyer at its expense shall (a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the Buyer Shares issued hereunder (the “Registration Statement”) and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts (1) to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 180 days thereafter, and (2) to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier of (x) the Share Recipients’ disposition of all such registered shares or (y) the Share Recipients being able to dispose of all such registered shares pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. If (i) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Buyer, the filing of a Registration Statement covering such Buyer Shares would be detrimental to Buyer and the Board of Directors of Buyer concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of Buyer to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, and (ii) Buyer shall furnish to the Share Recipients a certificate signed by an executive officer of Buyer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Buyer, it would be detrimental to Buyer for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of Buyer to defer the filing of such Registration Statement, then Buyer shall have the right to defer such filing, provided that Buyer shall not defer its obligation in this manner for more than thirty (30) days. Buyer shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the registration and qualification of the shares registered pursuant to this Section 8(c), and Seller and the Share Recipients shall pay all fees and expenses of their own counsel.

Each party will promptly provide the others with copies of all correspondence, comment letters, notices or other communications to or from the SEC regarding the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, and Buyer will advise the Seller and Share Recipients after it receives notice thereof, of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of the issuance of any stop order with respect to the effectiveness thereof, of the suspension of the qualification of the Buyer Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose.

(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer will indemnify each Shareholder with respect to any registration effected pursuant to this Section 8(c) against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or

-17-

the like) made in such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by Buyer of the Securities Act or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to Buyer and relating to action or inaction required of Buyer in connection with any such registration, and will reimburse Seller and each of the Share Recipients for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that Buyer will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) based upon written information furnished to Buyer by Seller or any Share Recipient.

(ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller and the Share Recipients, jointly and severally (but as among the Share Recipients other than the Seller severally on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Buyer Shares registered for resale by such Share Recipient under the Registration Statement), will indemnify Buyer, each of its directors and officers, agents, representatives and affiliates and each person who controls Buyer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact provided by Seller or a Share Recipient and contained in the Registration Statement, or any omission (or alleged omission) by Seller or a Share Recipient to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse Buyer for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in the Registration Statement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Buyer by Seller or any Share Recipient and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the total indemnity obligations, cumulatively, of the Seller and each of the Share Recipients under this Section 8(c) shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to Seller and such Share Recipients of securities sold as contemplated in this Section 8(c).

(iii) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 8(c) (the “Section 8(c) Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Section 8(c) Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) and the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party’s expense (unless the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party and the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party in such action, in which case the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party), and provided further that the failure of any Section 8(c) Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that

-18-

the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. No Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of each Section 8(c) Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Section 8(c) Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Section 8(c) Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as a Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8(c) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to a Section 8(c) Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 8(c) Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Section 8(c) Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party and of the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or alleged untrue) statement of a material fact or the omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party or by the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that the obligations of the Seller and each of the Share Recipients hereunder shall be limited to an amount, cumulatively, equal to the net proceeds to the Seller and such Share Recipients of securities sold as contemplated in this Section 8(c).

(v) For not more than ten (10) consecutive trading days or for a total of not more than twenty (20) trading days in any twelve (12) month period, Buyer may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning Buyer, by suspending the use of any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) prepared in connection with any registration to be effected pursuant to this Section 8(c) containing such information, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of Buyer, in the best interests of Buyer (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that Buyer shall promptly (a) notify the Share Recipients in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of the Share Recipients, shall Buyer disclose to such Share Recipients any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Share Recipients in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

(vi) During the period when copies of the Registration Statement prospectus are required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, Buyer shall file all documents required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13, 14, or 15 of the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Seller shall be solely responsible for complying with all of its obligations, if any, to its employees, including compliance with the provisions of ERISA, the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (MPPAA), and WARN.

(c) All offers of employment by Buyer to any employee of Seller shall be conditioned on such employee terminating his or her employment with Seller on or prior to the Closing Date and waiving, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all of his or her rights to make any claim or demand on Buyer or any of Buyer’s affiliates in respect of (i) any employment contracts of whatever nature or any obligations arising out of any employment contracts, express or implied, oral or written, individual or collective, between Seller and such employee and (ii) any obligations arising out of any pension benefit, employee welfare benefit, bonus, deferred compensation, stock purchase, stock option, severance, fringe benefit, medical insurance, life insurance or similar plan, policy or program of Seller, whether or not covered or excluded from coverage under ERISA.

15. Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 15(b), the Seller and each Shareholder, jointly and severally (but as among the Shareholders severally on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Buyer Shares set forth opposite the name of each Shareholder on Exhibit I hereto), agree to indemnify and hold Buyer and its affiliates and their respective parents, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “Buyer Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims of any kind, interest or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), suffered, incurred or paid, directly or indirectly, through application of the Seller’s or Buyer’s assets or otherwise, as a result of, in connection with or arising out of: (i) the failure of any representation or warranty made by the Seller or any Shareholder in this Agreement (whether or not contained in Section 6) or in any Schedule, Exhibit or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date; (ii) any breach by the Seller or any Shareholder of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein; (iii) any Seller expenses not paid by the Seller or any Shareholder and paid by the Buyer; (iv) any claim by any Shareholder or on behalf of any Shareholder in connection with any actions of the Representative taken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including any claim that any act of or decision not to act by the Representative taken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement does not bind such Shareholder to the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement; (v) the Seller’s or any Shareholder’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in respect of the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent, or the Escrow Agreement; (vi) any liability arising out of the ownership or operation of the Assets prior to the Closing Date other than the Assumed Liabilities; (vii) any product or services provided by Seller prior to the Closing Date; or (viii) any Excluded Liabilities.

(b) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 15(a) shall be limited to the aggregate amount of the Escrow Fund, provided, however, that the obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 15(a) may exceed the aggregate amount of the Escrow Fund with respect to any Losses in excess of $25,000 resulting from any material inaccuracy in or breach of the representations or warranties contained in Sections 6(a), (b), (d), (k), (o) or (q) hereof; and provided, further, however, that the obligations to indemnify

-25-

and hold harmless pursuant to Section 15(a) may not exceed as to each Shareholder the number of Buyer Shares set forth opposite the name of such Shareholder on Exhibit I hereto. No person shall be entitled to recovery for Losses pursuant to Section 15(a) until the total amount of Losses exceeds $25,000 (the “Basket Amount”); provided, that to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the Basket Amount, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the Basket Amount as well as the amount of Losses in excess of the Basket Amount.

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 15(d), the Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller and each Shareholder and their respective affiliates, parents, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, heirs and assigns (each a “Seller Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims of any kind, interest or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), suffered, incurred or paid, directly or indirectly, through application of the Seller’s or Buyer’s assets or otherwise, as a result of, in connection with or arising out of: (i) the failure of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement (whether or not contained in Section 7) or in any Schedule, Exhibit or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date; (ii) any breach by the Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein; or (iii) the Buyer’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in respect of the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Agreement.

(d) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 15(c) shall be limited to $820,000, provided, however, that the obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 15(c) may exceed $820,000 with respect to any Losses resulting from any material inaccuracy in or breach of the representations or warranties contained in Sections 7(a), 7(b), and 7(d) hereof. No person shall be entitled to recovery for Losses pursuant to Section 15(c) until the total amount of Losses exceeds $25,000 (the “Basket Amount”); provided, that to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the Basket Amount, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the Basket Amount as well as the amount of Losses in excess of the Basket Amount. Any payment to be made in satisfaction of the Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Section 15(c) shall be made in cash or such other means as may then be agreed to among Buyer and the applicable Seller Indemnitee.

(e) Except with respect to matters as to which injunctive relief is being sought, and to the extent of such relief, and other than with respect to registration rights, the indemnification with respect to which is dealt with in Section 8(c), and other than for actions under United States securities laws, the rights set forth in this Section 15 (as supplemented by Section 16 and Section 17 hereof) shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses with respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations or warranties or breach or nonperformance of any of the covenants or agreements made by any party in or pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent any party hereto from bringing an action based upon allegations of fraud or other intentional breach of this Agreement.

16. Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Within a reasonable period of time after the incurrence of any Losses by any person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 15 hereof (an “Indemnified Party”),

-26-

including in respect of any claim by a third party described in Section 17, which might give rise to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) a certificate in the form of Exhibit J (the “Loss Certificate”), which Loss Certificate shall:

(1) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement;

(2) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder; and

(3) notify the Indemnifying Party that if the Indemnifying Party in good faith objects to the Loss Certificate or any portion of the Loss Certificate, the Indemnifying Party must so notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt or the claim described in the Loss Certificate shall be deemed to be an Agreed Claim that the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay under this Agreement.

The Indemnified Party shall deliver a copy of the Loss Certificate to the Escrow Agent while the Escrow Fund remains in effect and available to satisfy claims for Losses pursuant to the indemnification provided for in Section 15(a).

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall object to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Loss Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Loss Certificate, deliver to the Indemnified Party a notice to such effect and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, within the thirty (30) day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such objection, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party shall have so objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall succeed in reaching agreement on their respective rights with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction. The party which receives a final judgment in such dispute shall be indemnified and held harmless for all reasonable attorney and consultant’s fees or expenses by the other party.

(c) Claims for Losses specified in any Loss Certificate to which an Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Loss Certificate, claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in

-27-

Section 16(b), claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of judicial determination as described in Section 16(b) and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which shall have been the subject of a final judicial determination, or shall have been settled with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, as described in Section 17, are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” Within ten (10) days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claims (the “Agreed Claim Payment Date”), the Agreed Claim (i) in the case of the indemnification obligations of the Seller and the Shareholders, shall be paid from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (or paid from such other sources as otherwise provided in the following sentence), subject to Section 15 above, and (ii) in the case of the indemnification obligations of the Buyer, shall be paid in cash or such other means as may then be agreed to among Buyer and the applicable Seller Indemnitee, subject to Section 15 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the case of the indemnification obligations of the Seller and the Shareholders, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy the amount of any Agreed Claim by paying the Indemnified Party (1) with Buyer Shares from the Escrow Fund, if then available to satisfy such Agreed Claim; provided, however, that if Buyer Shares from the Escrow Fund are not then available to satisfy such Agreed Claim, the Indemnifying Party may satisfy the amount of such Agreed Claim with other Buyer Shares valued at a price per share equal to the average closing bid price of Buyer’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the five trading days immediately preceding the Agreed Claim Payment Date, or (2) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party in a notice to the Indemnifying Party not less than two (2) business days prior to such payment.

(d) All claims made against and paid out of the Escrow Fund to Buyer Indemnitees shall be made and paid in accordance herewith and with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For purposes of any calculations required under this Section 16, each Buyer Share paid out of the Escrow Fund shall be deemed to have a per share value of $5.636 (as such price per share may from time to time be appropriately adjusted for stock splits or combinations, if any). Fractional share amounts resulting from any such calculations shall be rounded upwards to the nearest whole share.

17. Third Party Claims. If a claim by a third party is made against any Indemnified Party, and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under Section 15, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claims; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense thereof and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly be entitled to assume the defense of such action only to the extent the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its indemnity obligation and assumes and holds such Indemnified Party harmless from and against the full amount of any Loss resulting therefrom; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay

-28-

the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; or (iv) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party unless (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed, within a reasonable time after having been notified by the Indemnified Party of the existence of such claim as provided in the preceding sentence, to assume the defense of such claim, (y) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or available to the Indemnifying Party the assertion of which would be adverse to the interests of the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim, provided that in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party for such claim unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented to such payment or settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement that is not entirely indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement and does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the person or persons asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or consent to entry of any judgment. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any claim, including making available records relating to such claim and furnishing, without expense to the Indemnifying Party and/or its counsel, such employees of the Indemnified Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of any such claim or for testimony as witnesses in any proceeding relating to such claim.

18. Notices. Any notices or communications required or permitted hereunder shall be sufficiently given if in writing and personally delivered, telecopied or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed as follows or to such other address as any party shall have specified in conformity with the foregoing:

20. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

21. Section Headings. The Section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

The Representative may be changed by the Shareholders from time to time upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Buyer and the Escrow Agent, or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to Buyer and the Escrow Agent in their reasonable discretion; provided that the Representative may not be changed or removed unless Shareholders entitled to an aggregate of two-thirds interest of the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of a substituted Representative.

No bond shall be required of the Representative, and the Representative shall not receive compensation for its services.
