The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the amounts deposited pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be held in the Escrow Fund in separate accounts and shall not be intermingled.

1.5. The Closing.

	(viii)		the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer, or otherwise put the Buyer in possession and control of, all of the Acquired Assets of a tangible nature.

1.6. Allocation. For Tax and financial accounting purposes, the Buyer intends to obtain a third-party appraisal of the Acquired Assets (the “Appraisal”). Within thirty days following the finalization of the Appraisal, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller an allocation schedule allocating for Tax purposes the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities (and all other capitalizable costs) among the Acquired Assets. Such allocation schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the Appraisal and the rules under Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and any comparable provisions of state, local or other Tax law. The Buyer and the Seller shall use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute regarding the preparation of the allocation schedule. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable laws, the Buyer and the Seller will make all Tax Returns, reports, forms, declarations, claims and other statements in a manner consistent with the allocation schedule and will not make any inconsistent statement or adjustment on any returns or during the course of any Tax audit.

1.7. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at the request of the Buyer and without further consideration, the Seller shall execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment and take such actions as the Buyer may reasonably request to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to the Buyer, and to confirm the Buyer’s rights to, title in and ownership of, the Acquired Assets and to place the Buyer in actual possession and operating control thereof.

1.8. Withholding Obligations. Each of the Buyer and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any such payment under the Code or any other applicable Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer or the Escrow Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller.

1.9. Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative shall, by virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the resolutions adopted by the stockholders of the Seller with respect to the appointment of the Stockholder Representative, be irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact and authorized and empowered (with full power of substitution in the premises) to (a) act for an on behalf of any and all of the stockholders of the Seller in connection with the indemnity provisions of Article VII as they relate to the Seller’s stockholders generally, the Escrow Agreement, the notice provisions of this Agreement and such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including to act as the representative of the Seller’s stockholders to review and authorize all setoffs, claims and other payments authorized or directed by the Escrow Agreement and dispute or question the accuracy thereof, to compromise on their behalf with the Buyer any claims asserted thereunder and to authorize payments to be made with respect thereto,(b) exercise any and all rights of the Seller under this Agreement following the Closing and (c) take such further actions as are authorized in this Agreement. The Buyer and the Seller hereby agree that the exercise of any rights by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall have the same effect as if such rights had been exercised by the Seller. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Buyer, the Seller, any stockholder of the Seller or any other person with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative under or in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement unless such action or omission results from or arises out of fraud, gross negligence, willful

-3-

misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Stockholder Representative. The stockholders of the Seller shall severally indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Stockholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the duties of the Stockholder Representative hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Stockholder Representative. The Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely on such appointment and treat the Stockholder Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each stockholder of the Seller. Each stockholder of the Seller who votes to approve this Agreement, by such vote, without any further action, confirms such appointment and authority and acknowledges and agrees that such an appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, it being understood that the willingness of the Buyer to enter into this Agreement is based in part on the appointment of the Stockholder Representative to act on behalf of the stockholders of the Seller.

The Disclosure Schedule (the “Disclosure Schedule”) shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Article II, and shall qualify the representations and warranties set forth in such sections and subsections regardless of whether or not such sections or subsections (i) explicitly make reference to the Disclosure Schedule or (ii) are otherwise qualified by a reference to the Disclosure Schedule. Furthermore, the disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections and subsections in this Article II only to the extent it is reasonably apparent from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections. For purposes of this Article II, the phrase “to the knowledge of the Seller” or any phrase of similar import shall be deemed to refer to the actual knowledge of any of the Seller Officers, as well as any other knowledge that any of the Seller Officers would have possessed had they made reasonable inquiry of appropriate employees and agents of the Seller with respect to the matter in question.

2.1. Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power. The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in corporate good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Seller is duly qualified to conduct business and is in corporate good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction listed in Section 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule, which jurisdictions constitute the only jurisdictions in which the nature of the Seller’s businesses or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Seller MAE. The Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.

The Requisite Stockholder Approval was obtained at a meeting duly called and held or by a written consent duly executed and delivered in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Seller and constitutes, and each of the Ancillary Agreements, upon its execution and delivery by the Seller, will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms except to the extent such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or is subject to general principles of equity.

2.4. Noncontravention.

(b) The Seller has delivered or otherwise made available to the Buyer complete and accurate copies of all federal income Tax Returns, examination reports and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by the Seller since June 30, 2001.

The Seller has not waived any statute of limitations with respect to Taxes or agreed to an extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

(c) The Seller has not made any payments, is not obligated to make any payments, and is not a party to any agreement that could obligate it to make any payments that may be treated as an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code. The Seller does not have any actual or potential liability for any Taxes of any person (other than the Seller) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of federal, state, local or foreign law), or as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise. The Seller is not, and has not been, required to make a basis reduction pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-20(b) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-2(b).

(b) The Acquired Assets (together with the Excluded Assets) are sufficient in all material respects for the conduct of the Seller’s business as presently conducted and constitute all assets used by the Seller in such business.

-6-

Each Lease is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms. The Seller is not in breach or violation of, or default under, any Lease, and no event has occurred, is pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, is threatened, that, after the giving of notice, with lapse of time, or otherwise, would constitute a breach or default by the Seller.

2.11. Intellectual Property.

(a) Section 2.11(a) of the Disclosure Schedule lists (i) each patent, patent application, copyright registration or application therefor, and trademark, service mark and domain name registration or application therefor of the Seller and (ii) each Customer Deliverable of the Seller.

Upon execution and delivery by the Seller to the Buyer of the instruments of conveyance referred to in Section 1.5(b)(iii), each item of Seller Intellectual Property will be owned or available for use by the Buyer immediately following the Closing on substantially similar terms and conditions as it was immediately prior to the Closing. The Seller has taken commercially reasonable measures to protect the proprietary nature of each item of Seller Intellectual Property, and to maintain in confidence all trade secrets and confidential information, that it owns or uses. No other Person has any rights to any of the Seller Intellectual Property owned by the Seller (except pursuant to agreements or licenses specified in Section 2.11(d) of the Disclosure Schedule), and, to the knowledge of the Seller, no Person is infringing, violating or misappropriating any of the Seller Intellectual Property.

(c) None of the Customer Deliverables, or the marketing, distribution, provision or use thereof, infringes or violates, or constitutes a misappropriation of, any Intellectual Property rights of any Person.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller has not combined any Open Source Materials with any Customer Deliverables that require, as a condition of such combination, modification or distribution of such Open Source Materials, that other software incorporated into, derived from or distributed with such Open Source Materials be (1) disclosed or distributed in source code form, (2) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works, or (3) redistributable at no charge.

Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VII and (B) the ad damnum is less than or equal to the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is liable under this Article VII and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party.

The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto.

The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VII, an Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Within 20 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a Response, in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed

-23-

Amount, by check or by wire transfer; provided that if the Indemnified Party is the Buyer and is seeking to enforce such claim from the Indemnification Escrow Amount pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Indemnification Escrow Amount the Claimed Amount to the Buyer), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer; provided that if the Indemnified Party is the Buyer and is seeking to enforce such claim from the Indemnification Escrow Amount pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Indemnification Escrow Amount the Agreed Amount to the Buyer) or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount.

(d) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to binding arbitration, and if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree in writing to submit the Dispute to such arbitration, then the provisions of Section 7.3(e) shall become effective with respect to such Dispute. The provisions of this Section 7.3(d) shall not obligate the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party to submit to arbitration or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure with respect to any Dispute, and in the absence of an agreement by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party to arbitrate any Dispute, such Dispute shall be resolved in a state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in accordance with Section 10.12. If the Indemnified Party is the Buyer and is seeking to enforce the claim that is the subject of the Dispute pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration, judicial decision or otherwise), a written notice executed by both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if any) portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be disbursed to the Buyer and/or the Seller (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute).

(e) If, as set forth in Section 7.3(d), the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to submit any Dispute to binding arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) in accordance with the Commercial Rules in effect from time to time and the following provisions.

Any award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction (subject to Section 10.12), provided that the Arbitrator shall have no power or authority to grant injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief.

(v) The Arbitrator shall have no power or authority, under the Commercial Rules or otherwise, to (x) modify or disregard any provision of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 7.3(e), or (y) address or resolve any issue not submitted by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.

(vi) In connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses, except that the fees and costs of the AAA and the Arbitrator, the costs and expenses of obtaining the facility where the arbitration hearing is held, and such other costs and expenses as the Arbitrator may determine to be directly related to the conduct of the arbitration and appropriately borne jointly by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (which shall not include any attorneys’ fees or costs, witness fees (if any), costs of investigation and similar expenses of either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party) shall be shared equally by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.

All representations and warranties that are covered by the indemnification agreements in Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.2(a) shall (a) survive the Closing and (b) shall expire on the first anniversary of the Closing Date. If an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or an Expected Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of any claims arising from or related to the matter covered by such notice. If the legal proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn, resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party or is otherwise resolved for an amount less than the amount specified in such Expected Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall promptly so notify the Indemnifying Party; and if the Indemnified Party has delivered a copy of the Expected Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent and a portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount has been retained in escrow after the Termination Date (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with respect to such Expected Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse such retained funds to the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VII shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by an Indemnified Party, whether before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification hereunder or (ii) except as otherwise provided in Sections 7.1 and 7.2, any waiver by an Indemnified Party of any closing condition relating to the accuracy of any representations and warranties or the performance of or compliance with agreements and covenants.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer and its Affiliates shall not have the right or the ability to collect any Damages from the Reserve Amount maintained by the Seller in accordance with Section 6.2(a) unless and until there are no remaining funds held in the Indemnification Escrow Amount pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.
