The parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute and to reach an agreement prior to the Closing Date on such preliminary adjustments to the Cash Consideration as of the Closing Date (provided that, in the absence of such agreement prior to the Closing Date, the Preliminary Report shall be used for determining any adjustments to the Cash Consideration at Closing) or thereafter in accordance with Section 2.4(f) below.

The parties agree that the foregoing independent public accounting firm shall not be one that is regularly engaged by Purchaser or Seller. Such firm shall report its conclusions as to adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.4, which shall be conclusive on all parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or judicial review. The conclusion of such firm with respect to each discrepancy shall be within the range established for such item by the Final Report and Seller’s discrepancy statement. If Purchaser or Seller is determined to owe an amount to the other, the appropriate party shall pay such amount thereof to the other within three business days after receipt of such determination. The cost of retaining such independent public accounting firm shall be borne equally by the parties.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND THE

NETHERLANDS SUBSIDIARY

Except as set forth in the Seller Disclosure Letter prepared by Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary and delivered to Purchaser simultaneously with the execution hereof, the Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary each hereby represents and warrants, jointly and severally, to Purchaser as follows:

4.1

Authority; No Conflicts; Governmental Consents; Corporate Matters.

(a) Seller (i) is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (ii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership of its properties makes qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller. Seller has made available to Purchaser true and complete copies of the Seller Charter and Seller Bylaws in effect on the date hereof. No corporate action has been taken with respect to any amendment to the Seller Charter or the Seller Bylaws (except for any such amendments that have become effective and are reflected in the copies of the Seller Charter and the Seller Bylaws delivered by Seller to Purchaser as described in the preceding sentence) and no such corporate action is currently proposed. Seller’s minute books, true and complete copies of which have been made available to Purchaser, contain the minutes (or draft copies of the minutes) of all meetings of directors and stockholders of Seller since January 1, 2002 until the date hereof, and (subject to the proviso below) such minutes accurately and fairly reflect in all material respects the

-23-

actions taken at such meetings; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to make available to Purchaser any draft minutes and shall be permitted to redact portions of minutes that relate to the sale of the North America Business or the Non-North America Business, or of the Seller or the Netherlands Subsidiary, and negotiations with the parties to this Agreement, their respective Affiliates and other parties, other than materials relating to negotiations with Customers.

(b) Each of Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and, subject to Seller obtaining the approval of its stockholders specified in Section 4.15, to perform its obligations hereunder and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation by each of Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Seller Board and the board of directors of the Netherlands Subsidiary, respectively, and by all other necessary corporate action on the part of each of Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary, subject, in the case of the consummation by Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, to the approval of the Seller’s stockholders described in the previous sentence.

Except as set forth in Section 4.7 of the Seller Disclosure Letter (where applicable):

(a) Ownership. Section 4.7(a)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list of all Registered Non-North America Intellectual Property Rights and a description of the Non-North America Navigator Platforms that will be conveyed to the Purchaser as part of the Non-North America Intellectual Property, specifying as to each such Intellectual Property right, as applicable, (x) whether such Intellectual Property right is owned by, or licensed to, Seller or the Netherlands Subsidiary and assigned to Purchaser, (y) the owner of such Intellectual Property right, and (z) the jurisdiction by or in which such Intellectual Property right has been issued or registered or in which an application for such issuance or registration has been filed including the registration or application numbers thereof. The Seller is the sole owner of all Non-North America Intellectual Property purported to be owned by the Seller or its Subsidiaries and will provide Purchaser with good title to all Non-North America Intellectual Property, and after the Closing, Purchaser or its designee pursuant to Section 10.1 will exclusively own and, have the exclusive right to use the Non-North America Navigator Platforms and enforce all rights associated with such Non-North America Intellectual Property, subject to the Technology Cross-License Agreement and License Agreements that exist as of the Closing as set forth in Section 4.7(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

Seller has the right to transfer or assign to Purchaser the Non-North America Intellectual Property free and clear of all encumbrances, and the Non-North America Intellectual Property assigned to Purchaser under this Agreement constitutes all of the Intellectual Property and technology used in or reasonably necessary to enable Seller or Purchaser to run the Non-North America Business as now conducted or contractually obligated by the Seller and its Subsidiaries under Customer agreements, to be conducted, including the design, development, manufacture, use, import, licensing and sale of the Non-North America Navigator Platforms. Except as set forth in Section 4.7(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, Seller has the right to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, copy, distribute, modify, perform, display, disclose, market, or otherwise enforce, practice, lease, license or otherwise exploit the products and services of the Non-North America Business free from any royalty or other obligation to third parties. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not alter, encumber, impair or extinguish any of the Intellectual Property rights in the Non-North America Intellectual Property. The Government Authority Fee Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(i) sets forth maintenance fees, responses to official action or other action that will become due within 90 days after the Closing Date.

(b) License Agreements.

Each License Agreement is valid and binding on all parties thereto and enforceable in accordance with its terms and is assignable to Purchaser as provided herein. Seller and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with, and have not breached any terms of any such License Agreement and, to the knowledge of Seller, all other parties to such License Agreement are in compliance with, and have not breached any term of, such License Agreements. Seller has the right to use, pursuant to valid licenses, all software development tools, library functions, compilers and all other third-party software that are used or necessary to create, modify, compile, operate or support any software that is Non-North America Intellectual Property or is incorporated into the Non-North America Navigator Platforms. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will neither violate nor result in the breach, modification, cancellation, termination or suspension of any License Agreement. Following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will be permitted to exercise all of the Seller’s rights under such License Agreement to the same extent the Seller would have been able to had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred and without being required to pay any additional amounts or consideration other than fees, royalties or payments which the Seller would otherwise be required to pay had such transactions contemplated hereby not occurred.

(c) Noninfringement. The copying, modification, display, performance, disclosure, lease, sublicenses, sale, manufacture, offer for sale, importation or other use (collectively, the “Use”) of the North America Navigator Platforms and North America Intellectual Property pursuant to the rights granted under the Technology Cross-License Agreement, the Non-North America Navigator Platform (and the Use thereof) and/or the conduct of the Non-North America Business as currently conducted and as contractually obligated by Seller to Customers to be conducted do not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property right of any third party or violate any right of any third party (including any right to privacy or publicity), or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction in which it currently conducts business, and to the knowledge of the Seller, any other jurisdiction, and neither Seller nor its Subsidiaries have received written or oral notice alleging anything to the contrary, nor to the knowledge of Seller is there a valid basis for a third party to allege any of the foregoing.

(d) Creation of Non-North America Intellectual Property. All of the Non-North America Intellectual Property purported to be owned by Seller or the Netherlands Subsidiaries has been lawfully acquired or created by employees of Seller or its Subsidiaries acting within the scope of their employment or by independent contractors of Seller or its Subsidiaries who have executed agreements expressly assigning all right, title and interest in such Non-North America Intellectual Property to Seller or its Subsidiaries. Seller has provided to Purchaser true and correct copies of the forms for such assignments. No person who has provided to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries any Non-North America Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to Seller has ownership rights or license rights to improvements, enhancements or other modifications or derivatives made by or for the Seller in such Intellectual Property. No government, military or quasi governmental funding, facilities of a university, college, other educational institution or research center or funding from similar third parties was used in the development of any Non-North America Intellectual Property. In each case in which the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has acquired, other than through a license, any Transferred Asset from any person, the Seller or its Subsidiary has obtained a valid and enforceable assignment sufficient to irrevocably transfer all rights in and to all such Transferred Asset (including all associated Intellectual Property and the right to seek past and future damages with respect thereto) to the Seller. Seller has recorded any assignment of registered Intellectual Property assigned to the Company with the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which such assignment is required to be recorded.

(e) Validity. To the knowledge of Seller, all rights in the Registered Non-North America Intellectual Property (other than pending applications) are valid and enforceable and the Seller and its Subsidiaries have no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would render any Intellectual Property invalid or unenforceable, and no written or oral notice has been received alleging anything to the contrary. All required maintenance or similar fees or annuities for Registered Non-North America Intellectual Property have been timely paid and all required affidavits and renewals due through the Closing Date have been filed or will be filed by the Closing Date, in connection with the

-00-

Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx-Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Intellectual Property (including pending applications).

Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries are a party to any source code escrow agreement that includes any portion of the Non-North America Navigator Platforms.

(f) Confidentiality. No Trade Secret of the Non-North America Business has been disclosed to any third party other than pursuant to written non-disclosure agreements, and Seller and its Subsidiaries have used commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the secrecy of Trade Secrets and all Non-North America Intellectual Property or other information the value of which to Seller is dependent upon maintenance of the confidentiality thereof. Seller has disclosed or made available the source code and system documentation relating to the Non-North America Navigator Platform only to employees or consultants of Seller who required such disclosure or access and who have executed written confidentiality agreements governing their use of such source code and documentation. There is no unauthorized use, infringement or misappropriation of the Non-North America Intellectual Property by any current or former employee, officer, consultant or independent contractor of Seller or its Affiliates.

(g) No Infringers. To the knowledge of Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary, no third party, employee of Seller or its Subsidiaries or former employee of Seller or its Subsidiaries has infringed or misappropriated any Non-North America Intellectual Property.

(h) No Restrictions. There are no settlements, forbearances to xxx, consents, judgments or orders that do or may: (i) restrict Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ rights to use any Non-North America Intellectual Property; (ii) restrict the conduct of the Non-North America Business in order to accommodate a third party’s Intellectual Property, including entering into any agreement under which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has granted any covenant not to xxx, assert or exploit any Intellectual Property right of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or entering into any agreement under which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has granted any person the right to bring a lawsuit for infringement or misappropriation of any Non-North America Intellectual Property, (iii) permit third parties to use any Non-North America Intellectual Property other than existing License Agreements set forth in the Seller Disclosure Letter, or (iv) permit the rights of the Seller or its Subsidiary in any Non-North America Intellectual Property to lapse or enter the public domain. Each item of Seller Intellectual Property included in the Transferred Assets is free and clear of any liens, except for the License Agreements as set forth in Section 4.7(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter and Seller’s standard form end user agreements. Seller has provided to Purchaser a true and complete copy of form end user agreements. Seller has not transferred ownership of, or entered into any agreement under which it has Seller’s the obligation to transfer any ownership of, or granted any exclusive license to use or distribute (or entered into any agreement under which it has the obligation to grant any exclusive license to use or distribute), or

-32-

authorized the retention of any exclusive rights to use or joint ownership of, any Non-North America Intellectual Property.

(i) Open Source Code. None of the software, technology and platforms included within the Non-North America Intellectual Property contain any software code that is licensed under any terms or conditions that require that any portion of the software included in such Non-North America Intellectual Property be (i) made available or distributed in source code form other than a source code escrow; (ii) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; (iii) licensed under terms that allow reverse engineering, reverse assembly or disassembly of any kind other than permitted by applicable law; or (iv) redistributable at no charge.

Seller has also taken reasonable precaution in using antivirus detection software to test and prevent components used in or with the Non-North America Intellectual Property and Non-North America Navigator Platforms obtained from third person suppliers from containing any Disabling Codes or Contaminants that may, or may be used to, access, modify, delete, damage or disable any Non-North America Intellectual Property or the Non-North America Navigator Platforms (or systems which they interact or interoperate with) or that might result in damage thereto. Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary have taken reasonable steps and implemented reasonable procedures (based on standard industry practices) to ensure that its information technology systems utilized by Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary in the operation of their business are free from Disabling Codes and Contaminants. Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary have in place appropriate disaster recovery plans, procedures and facilities and have taken all reasonable steps to safeguard its information technology systems utilized by Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary in the operation of their business and restrict unauthorized access thereto.

(k) Technology Cross-License; North America Intellectual Property. The assignment of the Technology Cross-License by Seller to Purchaser will give Purchaser the right to use the North America Intellectual Property outside North America in accordance with the terms thereof including without limitation the right to develop products. All representations and warranties with respect to the North America Intellectual Property made by Seller to Double C in Section 4.7 of the Double C Agreement (except as otherwise set forth in the Seller Disclosure Letter thereof) are hereby made to Purchaser and are incorporated herein by reference, solely for and to the

the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, outstanding shares of capital stock of Seller, must contemplate the acquisition of more than 50%, rather than 20% or more, of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of Seller), and (z) if relating to any transaction for the Transferred Assets or the Non-North America Business, must contemplate the acquisition of all or substantially all, rather than a material portion, of the Transferred Assets or the Non-North America Business and the assumption of all or substantially all of the Assumed Liabilities, that, (A) is financially superior to the transactions contemplated hereby, taking into account any break-up fees or similar devices, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to and timing of consummation, and is more favorable and provides greater value to all of the Seller’s stockholders than this Agreement, as determined in good faith by the Seller Board after consultation with Seller’s financial advisors, which shall be of national reputation, (B) will constitute a transaction for which financing, to the extent required, is then committed or which, in the good faith judgment of the Seller Board, is reasonably capable of being obtained and (C) if accepted, is reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the transaction and the Person making the proposal, as determined in the good faith judgment of the Seller Board (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) (any such Alternative Proposal that (1) is a merger, consolidation, tender offer, share exchange or other business combination or similar transaction involving Seller, or (2) satisfies one of clauses (w), (x), (y) or (z) and, in the case of either (1) or (2), satisfies all of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above is herein referred to as a “Superior Proposal”).

(c) Seller shall provide Purchaser (for at least three (3) business days following the receipt by Purchaser of a written notice from Seller of a Superior Proposal) an opportunity to propose an amendment to this Agreement to provide for terms and conditions no less favorable than the Superior Proposal, as determined by the Seller Board. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller Board may change its recommendation to the stockholders of Seller with respect to this Acquisition Proposal only in the circumstance permitted under the following sentence. In connection with a bona fide Alternative Proposal that is a Superior Proposal and is received prior to the time the stockholders of Seller shall have voted to approve this Acquisition Proposal, the Seller Board may change its recommendation if (i) the Seller Board by vote determines in its good faith judgment that failure to do so would result in a reasonable probability that the Seller Board would breach its fiduciary duties to Seller’s stockholders under applicable Law, after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel, (ii) Seller has complied with its obligation under the first sentence of this Section 6.5(c) in all material respects and the Seller Board has considered in good faith and consistent with its fiduciary duties any proposed changes to this Agreement (if any) proposed by Purchaser, (iii) after taking into account any such proposed changes by Purchaser, such Alternative Proposal remains a Superior Proposal, and (iv) Seller has complied with its obligations under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Section 6.5 in all material respects.

(d) Seller shall promptly advise Purchaser orally and in writing of any Alternative Proposal, or any inquiry, offer or proposal or request for information with respect to or which could reasonably lead to any Alternative Proposal (whether made directly to Seller or one of its advisers), the material terms and conditions of such

-50-

Alternative Proposal or inquiry, offer, proposal or request, and the identity of the Person making any such Alternative Proposal or inquiry, offer, proposal or request. Seller shall keep Purchaser fully informed on a current basis of material developments with respect to the status and details of any such Alternative Proposal or inquiry, offer, proposal or request.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 6.5(b), Seller shall not provide any non-public information to a third party unless Seller provides such non-public information pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement with terms regarding the protection of confidential information at least as restrictive as such terms set forth in the Non-Disclosure Agreement between Seller and Purchaser dated as of July 15, 2004.

(f) Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussion or negotiations with any Persons (other than Purchaser) conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any of the foregoing and will exercise any rights under any confidentiality agreements with any such Persons to require the return or destruction of confidential information provided by Seller or its representatives to any such Persons.

Purchaser shall have no collection obligations with respect to any such accounts. In the event that after the Closing, Seller or the Netherlands Subsidiary receives any payment for accounts receivables from a Customer or other person attributable to or arising out of the Non-North America Business with respect to the period after the close of business on the Closing Date, Seller will promptly remit the amount of such payment to Purchaser.

(b) if Purchaser breaches or fails in any material respect to perform or comply with any of its covenants and agreements contained herein or breaches any of its representations and warranties in any material respect, in each case that is not curable, such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) cannot be satisfied; or

9.4

Termination by Purchaser.

This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing, whether before or after the approval by the stockholders of Seller referred to in Section 8.1(a), by Purchaser (i) if the Seller Board shall have (A) failed to recommend the Acquisition Proposal to the Seller’s stockholders, (B) withdrawn or modified or qualified in a manner adverse to Purchaser its recommendation of the Acquisition Proposal (including by express communication to the Seller’s stockholders or by refusing to call the Seller Special Meeting or mail the Proxy Statement or submit the matters to a vote of the Seller’s stockholders), (C) failed to reconfirm its recommendation of this Agreement within five business days after a written request by Purchaser to do so, or (D) recommended to Seller’s stockholders that they approve, accept or tender their shares in response to any Alternative Proposal; (ii) if Seller or any of the other Restricted Persons shall take any other action that results in a material breach of Section 6.5; (iii) if the Seller shall have entered into (or the Seller Board shall have authorized the Seller to enter into) a letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar undertaking with respect to any Alternative Proposal; or (iv) if Seller or the Netherlands Subsidiary breaches or fails in any material respect to perform or comply with any of its covenants or agreements contained herein, or breaches any of its representations and warranties in any material respect, in each case that is not curable, such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) cannot be satisfied.

Effect of Termination and Abandonment.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to this Article IX, this Agreement (other than as set forth in Sections 6.2, this Section 9.5 and Article X each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement) shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party hereto (or of any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, legal and financial advisors or other representatives); provided, however, except as otherwise provided herein, (i) no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages resulting from any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement, and (ii) in the event this Agreement is terminated by either Purchaser or Seller pursuant

Waiver of Compliance; Consents.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or

-67-

10.13

Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.

(b) Each of the parties: (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any Delaware state court in the event any dispute that the parties fail to resolve arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; and (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than a federal or state court sitting in the State of Delaware.

Joint Participation in Drafting this Agreement; Construction.

The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. When a reference is made in this Agreement to the Seller Disclosure Letter, such reference shall be to the disclosure letter delivered by Seller on the date hereby and not to any supplement to, or change or modifications of, such disclosure schedule. The parties acknowledge that disclosure of information in one section of the Seller Disclosure Letter, with specific reference to the Section or Subsection of this Agreement to which the information stated in such disclosure relates shall be deemed as proper disclosure for other sections or parts of the disclosure letter only to the extent such a matter is disclosed in such a way as to make its relevance to the information called for by such other Section or Subsection readily apparent.

10.15

Further Assurances.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. From time to time after the Closing Date, without further consideration, Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary each will, at its expense, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such documents to Purchaser as Purchaser may reasonably request in order to more effectively vest in Purchaser good title to the Transferred Assets (subject to Seller’s and the Netherlands Subsidiary’s representations and warranties hereunder) and to evidence the representations and warranties of Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary hereunder. From time to time after the Closing Date, without further consideration, Purchaser will, at Purchaser’s expense, execute and deliver such documents to Seller as Seller may reasonably request in order more effectively to consummate the sale of the Transferred Assets pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller and the Netherlands Subsidiary shall cooperate with any reasonable requests made by Purchaser in connection with the enforcement or defense of Purchaser’s rights in the Transferred Assets. In addition, at Purchaser’s expense, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in documenting past patent prosecution and litigation practice and strategy. Seller, at its own expense, will cause its counsel(s) to cooperate with Purchaser’s counsel(s) with respect to the transfer of the Transferred Assets, including any files maintained by Seller’s patent counsel that relate to the Transferred Assets. Seller hereby consents to the disclosure by Seller’s patent counsel(s) to Purchaser of confidences and secrets that relate to the Transferred Assets.
