(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Buyer and the Stockholders shall together prepare and agree a good faith estimate of the Closing Net Asset Value determined in accordance with GAAP (the “Estimated Closing Net Asset Value”) and the Closing Balance Sheet.

(b) If the Estimated Closing Net Asset Value is less than (worse than) negative $2,400,000, then such difference shall be deducted from the Closing Consideration to be paid by Buyer at Closing (such amount deducted to be the “Estimated Closing Net Asset Adjustment”).

(c) Within 75 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative an unaudited statement which shall set forth Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value (which shall include where possible, actual numbers rather than accruals) (the “True-up Net Asset Value”). Upon receipt from Buyer, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have 10 days to review the True-Up Net Asset Value (the “Review Period”). If the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with the True-Up Net Asset Value, the Stockholders’ Representative may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Buyer (the “NA V Notice of Objection”), which sets forth the Stockholders’ Representative’s objection to the True-Up Net Asset Value. Any NAV Notice of Objection shall specify those items or amounts with which the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees, and shall set forth the Stockholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet based on such objections.

(d) Unless the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the NAV Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Stockholders shall be deemed to have accepted the True-Up Closing Net Asset Value, and the True-Up Net Asset Value shall be final, conclusive and binding and the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed by the Stockholders and the Buyer to release to the Buyer the difference (if any) between the Estimated Closing Net Asset Value and the True-up Net Asset Value. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the NAV Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, during the 30 days following such delivery (or any mutually agreed extension thereof), use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet. If, at the end of such period (or any mutually agreed extension thereof), Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to an independent certified public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative (the “Independent Expert”). The parties shall instruct the Independent Expert promptly to review this Section 2.7 and to determine solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet set forth in the True-Up Net Asset Value requires adjustment. The Independent Expert shall base its

determination solely on written submissions by Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative and not on an independent review. Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall make available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Expert. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative a report which sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be shared equally by Buyer and the Stockholders, provided, however, that if the Independent Expert determines a less than or equal to 10% variation in the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value, the Stockholders’ shall pay the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert in full.

(e) Within ten (10) Days after the final determination of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Balance Sheet if (x) the finally determined Closing Net Asset Value is worse than (y) the Estimated Net Asset Value, (i.e., the finally determined Net Asset Value is a greater negative number (i.e., -$2,400,001, -2,400,002, etc.), the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed to release to the Buyer such difference between the Estimated Closing Net Asset Value and the finally determined Closing Net Asset Value on a dollar for dollar basis. If the Closing Net Asset Value is negative (-$2,400,000) or better (e.g. -$2,399,999) there will be no additional adjustments, no claims against the Holdback Consideration and no action required by the Escrow Agent.

2.8 Holdback, Escrow and Release of Escrow.

(a) The Buyer and the Stockholders agree to execute the Escrow Agreement as attached hereto as Exhibit A as required by the Escrow Agent in relation to the establishment and dealings of the Escrow Account.

(b) The Holdback Consideration shall be paid by Buyer to the Escrow Account on the Closing Date and shall be held for the purpose and to the extent and satisfaction of any Loss arising during the Holdback Period in respect of the amount of any claim by the Buyer: (i) for breaches of, or inaccuracies in, the representations and warranties given by the Company and/or the Stockholders herein or the nonfulfillment of, or failure to perform, any covenant or agreement on the part of the Stockholders and/or the Company contained in this Agreement; and/ or (ii) pursuant to the indemnifications granted under Section 9.; and/or (iii) pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.10 and/or 2.11 hereof (a “Claim”).

(c) At any time during the Holdback Period, the Buyer may forward to the Stockholders’ Representative a notice of a Claim (“Claim Notice”) which sets forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of the Claim (“Amount Claimed”). Upon receipt from Buyer, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have 10 days to review the Claim Notice (the “Claim Review Period”). If the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with the Amount Claimed, the Stockholders’ Representative may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Buyer (the “Claim Notice of Objection”) (with a copy to the Escrow Agent), which sets forth the Stockholders’ Representative’s objection to the Amount Claimed. Any Claim Notice of Objection shall specify those items and amounts with which the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees and detailed reasons for such disagreement. If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver a Claim Notice of Objection within the Review Period, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Stockholders shall be deemed to have accepted the Claim and the Amount Claimed shall be final, conclusive and binding and the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed by the Buyer and the Stockholders to release to the Buyer the Amount Claimed. If the Stockholders’ Representative

delivers a Claim Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Claim Review Period, and such Claim Notice of Objection shows that only a portion of the Amount Claimed is disputed, then such undisputed portion of the Amount Claimed shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholders and the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed by the Buyer and the Stockholders to release to the Buyer the undisputed portion of the Amount Claimed. Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, during the 30 days following delivery of a Claim Notice of Objection (or any mutually agreed extension thereof), use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to agree upon the disputed Amount Claimed.

8.2 Unilateral Termination.

(a) Either Buyer, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, by giving written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued an injunction, order, decree or ruling or taken any other action to restrain, enjoin, make illegal or otherwise prohibit the Merger.

(b) Either Buyer, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, by giving written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement if the Merger shall not have been consummated by midnight Pacific Time on September 15, 2007; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to perform in any material respect any of its obligations or covenants under this Agreement results in the failure of any condition set forth in Article VII or if the failure of such condition results from facts or circumstances that constitute a material breach of a representation or warranty or covenant made under this Agreement by such party.

(c) Either Buyer, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, by giving written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing if the other has committed a material breach of (i) any of such party’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or (ii) any of such party’s covenants contained in this Agreement, and has not cured such material breach within twenty days after the party seeking to terminate this Agreement has given the other party written notice of the material breach and its intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(c).

8.3 No Liability for Termination. Termination of this Agreement by a party (the “Terminating Party”) in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII will not give rise to any Liability on the part of the Terminating Party on account of such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve a party from liability for a willful breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival of Representations. The representations and warranties of the Company and Buyer contained in this Agreement (including the Exhibits to this Agreement) shall survive the Closing and shall remain operative and in full force and effect, from the Closing Date until the end of the Holdback Period (the “Release Date”); provided, however, that such expiration shall not affect claims of fraud, willful misrepresentation, willful misconduct or any criminal activity.

9.2 Indemnification.

(a) (i) By the Stockholders. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, from and after the Closing, by virtue of the Merger, the Stockholders shall jointly and severally, to the extent of their interest in the Holdback and not personally, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Merger Subsidiary, the Company and the Surviving Corporation and its directors, officers and agents (each of the foregoing being referred to individually as an “Indemnified Buyer Party” and collectively as “Indemnified Buyer Parties”) from and against any and all Losses, Liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and defense, reasonable legal fees and expenses and other professionals’ and experts’ reasonable fees and reasonable expenses (collectively, “Damages”) arising from assessments, claims, demands, assertions of liability or actual or threatened actions, suits or proceedings (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) directly or indirectly incurred, paid or accrued in connection with, resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company and/or any of the Stockholders in this Agreement (and the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement), (ii) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company and/or any Stockholders in this Agreement, (iii) any of the matters set forth on Schedule 3.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter, (iv) any Liability of the Business not set forth on the Company Balance Sheet, (v) any suit, action, claim or Loss by any holder of any Options, and/or (vi) any suit, action, proceeding, claim or Loss resulting from an action initiated by any State of the United States of America for unpaid sales tax on all software license, service and maintenance sells conducted by the Company prior to the Closing.

(ii) By the Buyer and Merger Subsidiary. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, from and after the Closing, by virtue of the Merger, the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders (the “Indemnified Seller Party” “Indemnified Seller Parties”) from and against any and all Losses, Liabilities and Damages arising from assessments, claims, demands, assertions of liability or actual or threatened actions, suits or proceedings (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) directly or indirectly incurred, paid or accrued in connection with, resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer and/or Merger Subsidiary in this Agreement (and the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement) and (ii) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by the Buyer and/or Merger Subsidiary in this Agreement.

(b) Limitations. In no event shall the Stockholders’ or the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Article IX exceed the Holdback Consideration with respect to all Indemnified Buyer Party claims for indemnification for damages (the “Indemnification Cap”) provided, however, that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to claims of fraud, willful misrepresentation, willful misconduct or any criminal activity.

(c) Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification remedies provided in this Article IX shall not create any personal liability for the Stockholders, other than to the extent of their interest in the Holdback and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any claim in

connection with this Agreement or any other transaction documents, including any claim for any Damages resulting from a breach of any party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

9.3 Claims Period. The period during which claims of an Indemnified Buyer Party for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement may be initiated (the “Claims Period”), shall commence at the Closing and terminate on the Release Date.

9.4 Resolution of Objections to Claims.

(a) Any Person who desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Article IX (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice in reasonable detail (a “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the party responsible or alleged to be responsible for indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitor”) prior to the end of any applicable Claims Period. Such notice shall briefly explain the nature of the claim and the parties known to be involved, and shall specify the amount thereof. If the matter to which a claim relates shall not have been resolved as of the date of the Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall estimate the amount of the claim in the Indemnification Claim Notice. Each Indemnitor to which an Indemnification Claim Notice is given shall respond to any Indemnified Party that has given a Indemnification Claim Notice (a “Claim Response”) within fifteen (15) days (the “Response Period”) after the date that the Indemnification Claim Notice is given. Any Claim Response shall specify whether or not the Indemnitor giving the Claim Response disputes the claim described in the Indemnification Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, such Indemnitor shall be deemed not to dispute the claim described in the related Indemnification Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor elects not to dispute a claim described in an Indemnification Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response in accordance with the terms hereof or otherwise, then the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor.

(b) If, during the Response Period, an Indemnified Party receives a Claim Response from the Indemnitor, then for a period of twenty (20) days (the “Resolution Period”) after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Claim Response, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall endeavor to resolve any dispute arising therefrom. If such dispute is resolved by the parties during the Resolution Period, the amount that the parties have specified in writing as the amount to be paid by the Indemnitor, if any, as settlement for such dispute shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor. If the parties are unable agree upon a resolution to such dispute prior to the expiration of the Resolution Period (or any extension thereto to which the Indemnitor and Indemnified Party agree in writing), the issue shall be presented to the AAA for determination. The arbitration shall be before a panel of three arbitrators, one selected by Buyer, one selected by the Stockholders’ Representative and one selected by the two selected arbitrators, and the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA shall govern such arbitration. The written determination of the AAA shall be binding upon the parties and not subject to any appeal.

9.5 Third-Party Claims. An Indemnified Party that desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Article IX with respect to any actions, suits or other administrative or judicial proceedings (each, an “Action”) that may be instituted by a third party shall give each Indemnitor notice after having knowledge of such Action, of a third party’s institution of such Action, and copies of all documents and information relating to such Action after receipt thereof. After such notice, any Indemnitor may, at its sole option and expense, participate in such Action or assume the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice. The Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, except with the written consent of the Indemnitor. Any failure to give notice under this Section 9.5 shall not bar an

Indemnified Party’s right to claim indemnification under this Article IX, except to the extent that an Indemnitor shall have been harmed by such failure. If a firm written offer is made to settle any such Action, the Indemnitor proposes to accept such settlement and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then: (i) the Indemnitor shall be excused from, and the Indemnified Party shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of such Action, and (ii) provided that only monetary damages may be recovered in such Action (and the Indemnified Party is not subject to any injunctive relief, equitable or other non-monetary relief in connection with such Action), the maximum liability of the Indemnitor relating to such Action shall be the amount of the proposed settlement if the actual monetary amount thereafter recovered from the Indemnified Party on such Action is greater.

9.6 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) Upon approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Stockholders, each Stockholder will be deemed to have irrevocably appointed ComVest Investment Partners II LLC, as its, his or her true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent (the “Stockholders’ Representative”), each with full power of substitution or resubstitution, to act solely and exclusively on behalf of such Stockholder with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and to act on behalf of such Stockholder in any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Stockholders’ Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the power:

(i) to act for such Stockholder with regard to matters pertaining to indemnification referred to in this Agreement, including the power to compromise any indemnity claim on behalf of such Stockholder;

(ii) to act for such Stockholder with regard to matters pertaining to litigation;

(iii) to execute and deliver all documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or amendments thereto that the Stockholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate;

(iv) to receive funds, make payments of funds, and give receipts for funds;

(v) to receive funds for the payment of expenses of such Stockholder and apply such funds in payment for such expenses;

(vi) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of such Stockholder that the Stockholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as such Stockholder could do if personally present; and

(vii) to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement.

(b) The appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Buyer, Merger Subsidiary and Surviving Corporation and any other person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Stockholders’ Representative in all matters referred to herein. Any notices required to be made or delivered to the Company or any of the Stockholders shall be made to the Stockholders’ Representative and shall discharge in full all notice requirements, as applicable, to such

Stockholder and/or the Company with respect thereto. By their appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders thereby confirm all that the Stockholders’ Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of his appointment as the representatives of the Stockholders hereunder. The Stockholders’ Representative shall act for the Stockholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Stockholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Stockholders and consistent with the obligations of the Stockholders under this Agreement, but the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be responsible to any Stockholder for any damages which the Stockholders may suffer by the performance of the Stockholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement, other than damages arising from willful violation of applicable law or gross negligence in the performance of such duties under this Agreement. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist against the Stockholders’ Representative.

10.3 Interpretation; Rules of Construction. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; and (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement and each Exhibit attached hereto, the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. Each reference herein to a law, statute, regulation, document or agreement will be deemed in each case to include all amendments thereto.

10.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.5 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the Exhibits attached hereto and the Company Disclosure Letter, (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and (ii) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder unless specifically provided otherwise herein.

10.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Buyer may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer without the Company’s prior consent; provided, however, that Buyer shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

10.7 Amendment; Extension; Waiver.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision in this Agreement.
