		9.4.6	In respect of the covenants in Sections 9.7 and 9.8.1, the Vendor and the Purchaser agree to elect, in prescribed form or, if no form has been so prescribed, in a manner acceptable to the relevant Tax authorities, and to furnish the relevant Tax authorities with any documentation necessary or desirable for this purpose, to have proposed paragraph 56.4(3)(b) of the ITA (as formulated by the Department of Finance as at July 18, 2005), or any substantially similar provision of the ITA, and any corresponding provision of a provincial tax legislation, apply to the amounts allocated to the covenants pursuant to Section 2.7 and to any other amount determined by the relevant Tax authority to be part of the consideration received or receivable by the Vendor pursuant to this Agreement and which is attributable to a “restrictive covenant”, within the meaning of proposed subsection 56.4(1) of the ITA (as formulated by the Department of Finance as at July 18, 2005), or any substantially similar provision, under this Agreement.

9.5	Employee Matters.

		9.5.1	The Parties intend that there will be continuity of employment with respect to all Eligible Employees who become Transferred Employees. Accordingly, all of the employees of the Vendor and the Subsidiary employed in the Business as of the Closing Date (all of whom, if employed on the Effective Date are listed by numbers on Schedule 9.5.1) (collectively, “*Eligible Employees”), shall either be automatically transferred to and continued by Purchaser (where applicable law provides for an automatic transfer of employees upon the transfer of assets or of a business as a going concern), or Purchaser shall offer employment to commence as of the Closing Date to all of the Eligible Employees. Such employment shall be at the same salaries and wages, at least substantially equivalent benefits in the aggregate (including benefits under Vendor Benefit Plans and vacation benefits), same location (except as otherwise agreed by the Eligible Employee), and otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions (other than with respect to bonus and other incentive programs) as those in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (provided, however, that the new terms of employment may include provisions against non-competition). Those Eligible Employees who either transfer and continue employment or accept Purchaser’s offer of employment and commence working with Purchaser on or after the Closing Date shall hereafter be referred to as “Transferred Employees*”. Without limiting the Purchaser’s obligations under the Employment Agreements, and subject to Section 9.5.2, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Purchaser to provide continued employment to any employee of the Vendor for any specified period of time following the Closing Date or to maintain the same terms of employment for any specified period of time following the Closing Date. All bonus and incentive payments payable to Eligible Employees for the year ending December 31, 2005 shall, on or prior to the Closing, have been paid or accrued by the Purchaser on the Most Recent Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP.

		9.5.2	Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold the Vendor harmless from and against any and all Losses the Vendor may incur in connection with any constructive or wrongful termination or dismissal claim asserted by

-38-


			any Eligible Employee of the Vendor or the Subsidiary relating to or arising in connection with (i) Purchaser not offering any such Eligible Employee employment on substantially the same terms and conditions as such Eligible Employee’s employment terms and conditions with the Vendor and/or the Subsidiary, or (ii) Purchaser otherwise not complying with the provisions of this Section 9.5. Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against any and all Losses asserted by any Eligible Employee of the Vendor or the Subsidiary who declines an offer of employment by the Purchaser (provided that the Purchaser has complied with the provisions of this Section 9.5).

		9.5.3	Purchaser shall have the responsibility for providing health care continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act to any of the U.S. employees of the Vendor or the Subsidiary terminated on or before the Closing Date (to the extent eligible for coverage thereunder), any of the U.S. employees of the Vendor or the Subsidiary who decline offers of employment by the Purchaser on or after the Closing Date, and to former U.S. employees of the Vendor and the Subsidiary receiving such continuation coverage as of the Closing Date.

9.6	Access to Books, Records, etc.

	Each Party agrees that it will cooperate with and make available to the respective other Party, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, all books and records, information and employees (without substantial disruption of employment) retained and remaining in existence after the Closing Date that are necessary or useful in connection with any inquiry, audit, investigation, dispute, litigation or other proceeding or similar matter. Each Party agrees that it shall preserve and keep all books and records of the Vendor in its possession or otherwise available to the other party after Closing for a period of at least five (5) years from the Closing Date. After such five (5) year period, before a Party shall dispose of any such books and records, the respective other Party shall be given an opportunity, at their cost and expense, to remove and retain all or any part of such books and records as they may select.

9.7	Solicitation and Hiring.

	For a period of two years after the Closing Date, the Vendor shall not, either directly or indirectly (including through an Affiliate), (a) solicit or attempt to induce any Restricted Employee to terminate his employment with the Purchaser or any subsidiary of the Purchaser or (b) hire or attempt to hire any Restricted Employee; provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to any individual whose employment with the Purchaser or a subsidiary of the Purchaser has been terminated for a period of six months or longer.

9.8	Non-Competition.

		9.8.1	For a period of three years after the Closing Date, the Vendor shall not, either directly or indirectly (including through an Affiliate), as a shareholder, investor, partner, consultant or otherwise, (i) design, develop, manufacture market, sell or license any product or provide any service anywhere in the world which is competitive with any product designed, developed (or under development), manufactured, sold or licensed or any service provided by the Vendor within the three-year period prior to the Closing Date or (ii) engage anywhere in the world in any business competitive with the Business as conducted as of the Closing Date or during the three-year period prior to the Closing Date.

		9.8.2	The Vendor agrees that the duration and geographic scope of the non-competition provision set forth in this Section 9.8 are reasonable. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that any court determines that the duration or the geographic scope, or both, are unreasonable and that such provision is to that extent unenforceable, the Parties agree that the provision shall remain in full force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest area that would not render it

-39-


			unenforceable. The Parties intend that this non-competition provision shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for (i) each and every province of Canada, and (ii) each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America and each and every political subdivision of each and every country outside the United States of America where this provision is intended to be effective.

		9.8.3	The Vendor shall, and shall use its best efforts to cause its Affiliates to, refer all inquiries regarding the business, products and services of the Vendor to the Purchaser.

9.9	Collection of Accounts Receivable.

	The Vendor agrees that it shall forward promptly to the Purchaser any monies, checks or instruments received by the Vendor after the Closing Date with respect to the Accounts Receivable purchased by the Purchaser from the Vendor pursuant to this Agreement. The Vendor shall provide to the Purchaser such reasonable assistance as the Purchaser may request with respect to the collection of any such Accounts Receivable, provided the Purchaser pays the reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Vendor and its officers, directors and employees incurred in providing such assistance. The Vendor hereby grants to the Purchaser a power of attorney to endorse and cash any checks or instruments payable or endorsed to the Vendor or its order which are received by the Purchaser and which relate to Accounts Receivable purchased by the Purchaser from the Vendor.

9.10	Use of Name.

	The Vendor shall not use, and shall not permit any Affiliate to use, the names (i) Conceptis Technologies Inc., or (ii) Conceptis Technologies USA Inc., or (iii) any name reasonably similar thereto after the Closing Date. At Closing, the Vendor shall sign, and promptly thereafter file, articles of amendment to change its name to a name not including the word “Conceptis” or any other word similar to, or which may cause confusion with, the word “Conceptis”.

		11.2.2	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) the rights of Purchaser to indemnification under this Article 11 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser for any breach by the Vendor of any provision of this Agreement, and (b) no claim may be asserted nor any action commenced against the Vendor for indemnification under Section 11.2.1 unless written notice describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or action is received by the Vendor on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim or action is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 11.1, regardless of whether the subject matter of such claim or action shall have occurred before such date.

		11.2.3	The indemnification obligations of the Vendor pursuant to Section 11.2.1(a) shall not be effective until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses that would otherwise be indemnifiable pursuant thereto exceeds two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) (the “*Vendor Threshold Amount*”), and then only to the extent such aggregate amount exceeds the Vendor Threshold Amount; provided, however, that the Vendor Threshold Amount shall not apply in the case of fraud, and in the case of a claim pursuant to Section 11.2.1(a) relating to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 3.2 (Authority; Validity; Consents), 3.4 (Subsidiary), the last three (3) sentences of Section 3.5 (Financial Statements) and Section 3.26 (Taxes).

11.4	Notice of Potential Claims for Indemnification

		11.4.1	An indemnified Party (the “*Indemnitee”) shall give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any matter or event that could give rise to a claim for indemnification by the Indemnitor under this Article 11, including any Third Party Claim (an “Indemnification Claim*”). Each Indemnification Notice shall specify the basis on which indemnification is sought and the Indemnitee’s good faith estimate of the amount of its Losses and, in the case of a Third Party Claim, contain (by attachment or otherwise) such other information as such Indemnitee may have concerning such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitee is the Purchaser and is seeking to enforce an Indemnification Claim pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnitor shall deliver a copy of the Indemnification Notice to the Escrow Agent. After the delivery of an Indemnification Notice, the Indemnitee shall provide prompt written notice to the Indemnitor of all developments known to it relating to the related Indemnification Claim, and any material changes in Indemnitee’s good faith estimate of the amount of its Losses.

If the Dispute is not resolved within such 30-day period, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall submit the Dispute to binding arbitration, whereupon the provisions of Section 11.4.4 shall become effective with respect to such Dispute. If the Indemnitee is the Purchaser and is seeking to enforce the claim that is the subject of the Dispute pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee 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 parties instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if any) portion of the Escrow Fund shall be disbursed to the Purchaser and/or the Vendor (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute).

11.4.4	Upon the submission of any Dispute to binding arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the *“Arbitrator”)* in English in Montreal, Quebec and in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and the following provisions:

		11.4.4.1	In the event of any conflict between the Arbitration Rules and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and be controlling.

		11.4.4.2	The Parties shall use their best efforts to ensure that not later than 30 days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the Arbitrator shall prepare and distribute to the parties a writing setting forth the arbitral award and the Arbitrator’s reasons therefor. Any award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, and judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Arbitrator shall have no power or authority to grant injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief.

		11.4.4.3	The Arbitrator shall have no power or authority, under the Arbitration Rules or otherwise, to (a) modify or disregard any provision of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 11.4.4, or (b) address or resolve any issue not submitted by the parties.

11.4.5	If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third Party Claim, the provisions set forth in Section 11.5 shall be applicable.

-44-


11.5	Third Party Claims

	The obligations and liabilities of the Parties hereunder with respect to a Third Party Claim for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 11 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

		11.5.1	An Indemnitee shall give written notification to the Indemnitor of the commencement of any Third Party Claim. Such notification shall be given within 10 days after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of such Third Party Claim, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnitee) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnitee in so notifying the Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnitor may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnitee, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that (i) the Indemnitor may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnitee that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnitee in connection with such Third Party Claim constitute Losses for which the Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article 11 and (B) the ad damnum is less than or equal to the amount of Losses for which the Indemnitor is liable under this Article 11 and (ii) the Indemnitor may not assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall control such defense. 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 Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim. The reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee with respect to a Third Party Claim shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnitee controls the defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.5.1 or (ii) the Indemnitor assumes control of such defense and the Indemnitee reasonably concludes that the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnitee shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

		11.5.2	Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 11.5, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that an Indemnitee is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Losses for which such Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 11, and such Indemnitee reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) such Indemnitee shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Indemnitor, (ii) such Indemnitee may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11, and (iii) such Indemnitee shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11, for any such Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this

-45-


			Article 11 (subject to the right of the Indemnitor to dispute the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article 11).

11.6	Insurance

	All indemnification payments payable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds received by the Indemnitee as a result of the Loss for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification.

11.7	Miscellaneous

		11.7.1	Each Party hereby acknowledges that, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither Party is making any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and each Party hereby disclaims, and agrees that the other Party may disclaim, any and all liability and responsibility for any other statement or information made or communicated (whether orally or in writing) by it or its Representatives to the other Party or such other Party’s Representatives. In furtherance of, but without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no representation or warranty is being made by the Vendor with respect to the future prospects or operating or financial performance of the Vendor. In connection with its investigation of the Vendor, Purchaser has received certain estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and similar materials and information regarding or relating to the future operating and financial performance of the Vendor. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, budgets and similar materials and information, that it is familiar with such uncertainties, and that it is not relying on any such information but rather on its own estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, or budgets.

		11.7.2	No breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of either Party hereto, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
