-12-

 

with respect to any dispute relating to the Purchaser’s Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such disagreement and including the Sellers’ determination of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date or (ii) a written statement accepting Purchaser’s Statement (an “Acceptance Notice”), in which case Purchaser’s Statement shall be final and binding, effective as of the date on which the Purchaser receives the Acceptance Notice.

               (h) From the Closing Date until September 30, 2013, Purchaser agrees to prepare and preserve all books and records necessary for the determination of whether an Earnout Payment is due with respect to each Earnout Period (the “Earnout Records”).

               (i) It is agreed that in some cases the Purchaser will sell products or software that generate Product Revenue from a customer (“Turnpike Products or Software”) and to the same customer sell products or software which are not Turnpike Products or Software (“XATA Products or Software”).

               (j) The Sellers acknowledge and agree that (i) their sole and exclusive right under this Section 2.5 will be to receive the First Earnout Amount, Second Earnout Amount, and/or Third Earnout Amount, in each case if required by this Section 2.5, (ii) Purchaser will have the right to operate the Companies as it chooses, in its sole discretion, (iii) Purchaser is not under any obligation to provide any specific level of investment or financial assistance to the Companies or to undertake any specific actions (or to refrain from taking any specific actions) with respect to the operation of the Companies, (iv) Purchaser is not representing or warranting that any specific level of performance will be achieved or sought, and (v) Sellers will not have any claims against Purchaser arising from the failure of the Companies to achieve for any reason the First Earnout Trigger, Second Earnout Trigger, Third Earnout Trigger, or any other specific level of performance, so long as Purchaser acts in good faith.

To the Knowledge of the Companies, no event has occurred that (with or without the passage of time or giving of notice) would constitute a material breach or default of, or permit termination, modification, acceleration or cancellation of, any Material Contract or of any material right or liability under any Material Contract. Except as set forth on Section 3.10 of the Disclosure Schedule, neither Company is in material breach of any Material Contract, and no breach will occur as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

The real property subject to the Leases constitutes all of the real property interests which are leased, licensed, used or occupied (or that have ever been leased, licensed, used or occupied) in whole or in part by either Company in connection with its business. Each Lease is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company that is a party thereto in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other Laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity.

All of the tangible assets, owned or leased by either Company are in good working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted, are free from any material defects, have been maintained in accordance with applicable industry standards, and are suitable for the purposes for which they are being used.
          3.14 Taxes.
               (a) Each Company has timely filed all Tax Returns that it was required to file. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects and were prepared in material compliance with all applicable Laws. All Taxes due and owing by each Company have been paid or are properly accrued for on the books of such Company whether or not shown as due on any return, and the Working Capital Taxes will be reflected as a current liability as part of the adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 2.4. Neither Company is the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction where either Company does not file Tax Returns that such Company is or may be subject to taxation by such jurisdiction. There are no liens for Taxes (other than Taxes not yet due and payable or contested in good faith) upon any asset of either Company.

               (c) No Governmental Authority has any reasonable basis to assess any additional Taxes with respect to either Company for any period for which a Tax Return has been filed. No Tax audit or Tax proceeding is pending or being conducted or, to the Knowledge of the Companies, is threatened by or under the authority of any Governmental Authority with respect to either Company. Neither Company has received from any Governmental Authority (including in any jurisdiction where such Company has not filed any Tax Return) any (1) notice indicating an intent to open an audit or other proceeding, (2) request for information related to Tax matters, or (3) notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment for any amount of Tax proposed, asserted, or

Neither Company has been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code. Each Company has disclosed on all of its federal income Tax Returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to a substantial understatement of federal income Tax within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code.

               (f) The unpaid Taxes of each Company, if any, (1) did not, as of the date of the Combined Audited Financial Statements, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Combined Audited Financial Statements (rather than in any notes thereto) and (2) do not materially exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of such Company in filing its Tax Returns. Since the date of the Combined Audited Financial Statements, neither the US Company nor the CA Company has incurred any liability or obligation for Taxes arising from extraordinary gains or losses, as such term is used in GAAP, outside the ordinary course of business.
               (g) Neither Company will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, Taxable income for any Taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any:

Each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and provide all authorizations, notifications, consents, orders and approvals of any Governmental Authority that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and will cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. The Sellers, Purchaser and the Company shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as soon as practicable, the consent of each other Person that is required under any Contract, Lease, Permit or otherwise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall not contact such Persons without the prior written consent of the Company, and that the responsibility for obtaining such consents is that of the Seller Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to provide such assurances as to financial capability, resources and credit worthiness as may be reasonably requested by any Person whose consent or approval is sought hereunder; provided, however, that Purchaser is not required to make any payment to any other Person regarding any authorizations, consents, orders or approvals.
          6.4 Confidentiality. For a period of five years from the Closing Date (except for all trade secrets of either Company, for which the period shall continue until it is no longer a trade secret as a result of disclosure of such information by persons other than the Sellers and their employees and representatives) each Seller will hold, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its representatives and Affiliates to hold, in confidence, except to the extent required by applicable Law, all confidential information regarding either Company, except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) previously known on a nonconfidential basis by such Seller, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of such Seller or (iii) later lawfully acquired by such Seller from sources (other than either Company or its employees, or the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries) that are not under a non-disclosure or confidentiality obligation in favor of either Company or the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries; provided, that such Seller may disclose such information (A) to its representatives who need to know such information for purposes of participating in the evaluation, negotiation and/or execution of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents so long as such persons are informed by such Seller of the confidential nature of such information and are directed by such Seller to treat such information confidentially and (B) to the extent required to defend any claim asserted against such Seller or assert any claim that may be available to such Seller. The Seller shall be responsible for any failure to treat such information confidentially by such persons. Each Seller specifically acknowledges and agrees that (1) this Section 6.4 and each term hereof are reasonable and necessary to ensure that the Purchaser receives the expected benefits of acquiring the Shares and the Membership Interests, (2) the Purchaser has refused to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 6.4 and (3) breach of this Section 6.4 will harm the Purchaser to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach by any Seller of this Section 6.4, the Purchaser (in

-44-

 

addition to all other remedies the Purchaser may have) will be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order, injunction and other equitable relief (without posting any bond or other security) restraining the Seller from committing or continuing such breach.
          6.5 Publicity. Except as may be required by applicable Law and regulations, no Seller Party shall, or shall allow any of its Affiliates, to make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without prior consent of Purchaser. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to provide Sellers’ Representative with prior notice of, and an opportunity to review and comment on, the initial public announcement of the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that the timing and contents of such announcement shall remain in Purchaser’s sole discretion.
          6.6 Indemnification of Officers and Directors. For a period of not less than six years after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each Company to, (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the officers, directors, employees and agents of such Company to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law against Damages arising out of claims brought or made by third parties based on the actions of such persons in their capacities as officers, directors, employees or agents of such Company prior to the Closing, and (ii) maintain in full force and effect and honor, all obligations to indemnify the officers, directors, employees and agents of such Company and to advance expenses existing in favor of such persons in effect as of the Closing Date under the laws of such Company’s jurisdiction of organization or as provided in the Organizational Documents of such Company or in any written agreement between such Company, on the one hand, and any such Person, on the other hand.
          6.7 Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Purchaser and Sellers for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:
               (a) Tax Periods Ending On or Before the Closing Date. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Companies for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) which are filed after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall permit Sellers’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence at least 15 days prior to the due date for such Tax Returns and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative. Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for Taxes of the Companies with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Such reimbursement payment will be made at least 3 days before payment by Purchaser or the Companies of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes in the aggregate exceed the aggregate amount of Taxes reflected in Final Net Working Capital.
               (b) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Companies for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall permit Sellers’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence at least 15 days prior to the due date for such Tax Returns and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative. Sellers shall pay to Purchaser within 3 days before the date on which

-45-

 

Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes in the aggregate exceed the aggregate amount of Taxes reflected in the Final Net Working Capital. For purposes of this Section 6.7, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the applicable Company.
               (c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.7 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The party that is liable for the payment of any Taxes under this Agreement shall control such audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to such Taxes and shall control the decision as to any settlement. Such party shall also pay all costs and expenses in connection with such audit, litigation or other proceeding (including any cost of cooperation of the other party). The Companies and Sellers agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Companies or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.
               (d) Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Sellers when due, and the Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
               (e) Post-Closing Notification for non-Canadian Sellers. The Purchaser shall complete a “Notification of an Acquisition of Treaty-Protected Property from a Non-Resident Vendor” form T2062C with respect to each non-Canadian CA Company Seller that is listed on Section 3.14(i) of the Disclosure Schedule. Each such Seller shall complete the “Non-

-46-

 

resident Vendor Certification” Part D of such T2062C. The Purchaser shall file such completed forms T2062C in respect of each non-Canadian CA Company Seller on or before the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date in the manner required by applicable laws and shall provide each non-Canadian CA Company Seller with evidence of such timely filing in a form satisfactory to each such Seller, acting reasonably.
          6.8 Further Assurances. Each party will execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents and instruments reasonably requested by the other party, and will take any other action consistent with the terms of this Agreement that may reasonably be requested by the other party, for the purpose of giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          6.9 Post-Closing Maintenance of Records. The Purchaser shall: (i) maintain all books and other records, including without limitation, Tax Returns of the Company (the “Records”) for 7 years after the Closing Date, (ii) grant the Sellers access to the Records at any reasonable time, and from time to time, upon request by the Sellers in connection with any reasonable business purpose; and (iii) permit Sellers to make copies of such Records for the foregoing purposes, at Sellers’ expense. The Sellers may retain copies of such Records as they deem necessary after the Closing.
          6.10 Employees and Employee Benefit Plans.
               (a) Purchaser agrees that for a one year period following the Closing it shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, provide the Affected Employees with employee benefits and compensation that are substantially comparable in the aggregate either to (i) those provided to other similarly situated employees of the Purchaser or (ii) those provided as of the Closing Date to the Affected Employees by the Companies. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affected Employees” shall mean Employees and former employees of the Companies as of the Closing Date and, if applicable, any of their dependents, beneficiaries, qualified beneficiaries under COBRA and alternate payees.
               (b) Nothing contained herein shall obligate Purchaser to employ, or offer to employ, or cause the Companies to continue to employ, any current or former employee of either Company, to retain any Employees for any specific period, to institute or maintain any levels of compensation or benefit plans or arrangements, or otherwise to take or continue any actions with respect to the Employees after the Closing, it being understood that no Employee is intended to or shall receive by reason of this Agreement, other than by operation of law due to the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, any direct or third party beneficiary rights against Purchaser.
               (c) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have at all times complete discretion to determine the specific benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements to be provided to Employees; however, Employees shall be given credit for purposes of eligibility and vesting under each employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof in which the Employees are eligible to participate for all service with the applicable Company (to the extent such credit was given for a similar purpose by a comparable employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement, if any, of the applicable Company). Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that each

-47-

 

Employee’s vacation and personal time off accrued through the Closing Date shall continue to be honored after the Closing Date.
          6.11 Purchaser Shareholder Approval.
               (a) The Seller Parties acknowledge that, in order to issue shares of Purchaser Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, Purchaser will be required by applicable Law and regulations (including the Minnesota Business Corporation Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and the NASDAQ stock market ) to first obtain the approval of its shareholders (the “Purchaser Shareholder Approval”) with respect to (i) an amendment to the Purchaser’s articles of incorporation and (ii) certain other matters in connection with the issuance of such shares and other matters in connection with the Financing Agreement, as required by the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ stock market. After the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with a meeting of Purchaser’s shareholders for the purpose of seeking the Purchaser Shareholder Approval (the “Purchaser Shareholders Meeting”). Purchaser shall use all reasonable efforts (i) to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, (ii) to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC on the Proxy Statement, and (iii) to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to Purchaser’s shareholders. The Seller Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to provide, or assist Purchaser in the preparation of, all information about the Seller Parties and the transactions contemplated hereby that is required by applicable Law and regulations (including the Minnesota Business Corporation Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and the NASDAQ stock market ) to be included in the Proxy Statement.
               (b) The Purchaser’s board of directors (the “Board”) has determined to recommend that the Purchaser’s shareholders approve of all matters necessary to give the Purchaser Shareholder Approval, and to include a statement to that effect in the Proxy Statement and in any additional soliciting materials relating to the Purchaser Shareholders Meeting (the “Purchaser Board Recommendation”). The Purchaser will, and will use its best efforts to, within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the date hereof (and in any event no later than the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Purchaser), in accordance with its articles of incorporation and bylaws, and with applicable law (including the Minnesota Business Corporation Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq), duly call, give notice of, and convene and hold the Purchaser Shareholders Meeting, regardless of whether the Purchaser Board Recommendation is later withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to the Purchasers. Except to the extent the Board determines on advice of counsel to be restricted from doing so by its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Purchaser under applicable law, (i) the Board will include the Purchaser Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and in any additional soliciting materials relating to the Purchaser Shareholders Meeting, and (ii) the Purchaser Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to the Purchasers, and no resolution by the Board or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Purchaser Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to the Purchasers shall be adopted. The Purchaser will use its best efforts to solicit and obtain the Shareholder Approval.

               (a) Each Seller hereby agrees that, throughout the period that begins on the Closing Date and ends on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period), except for the covenants and restrictions contained in Section 6.12(a)(iv) hereof which will last indefinitely, such Seller will not at any time directly or indirectly:

                    (iv) use any name to promote a separate business that includes (i) the words “Turnpike” or “Global” or “Technologies,” or any confusingly similar combination or variation of any of such words, in any geographical area or (ii) any other name that implies a connection or affiliation with Purchaser or the Companies.

For each claim for indemnification under this Agreement regarding a breach of representation or warranty that is made prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation or warranty, such claim and associated right to indemnification will not terminate before final determination and satisfaction of such claim.
          11.2 Indemnification Obligations.
               (a) Indemnification by Sellers. Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and each Company (after Closing) and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, and employees (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and shall reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any and all Damages resulting from, arising out of, based on, or relating to any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of the Sellers or either Company in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, or any Ancillary Document. The indemnification obligations of Sellers hereunder shall be joint and several; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations of Sellers hereunder shall be several (not joint and several) with respect to any (i) untruth or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV and (ii) breaches of any covenant or agreement by a Seller.
               (b) Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser shall, and from and after the Closing, the Companies shall, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, their Affiliates and any of their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and shall reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Damages, resulting from, arising out of, based on, or relating to any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of Purchaser in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, or any Ancillary Document.
               (c) Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding the rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification under this Article XI, and except with respect to claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or claims for breaches of covenants, an Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party shall be limited as follows:
                    (i) an Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for Damages that are based on an untruth, inaccuracy or breach of representation or warranty in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule or any Ancillary Document, other than a breach of the Specified Representations (which shall not be so limited), if and to the extent such Damages exceed $50,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”); provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of such Damages exceeds the Deductible, then Indemnifying Party will be obligated for all such Damages, subject to the other terms of this Article XI;

-55-

 

                    (ii) the aggregate amount of all Sellers’ liability for Damages under this Article XI on the one hand, and the aggregate amount of Purchaser’s liability for Damages under this Article XI on the other hand, other than for breaches of the Specified Representations (which shall not be so limited), shall not exceed the First Earnout Amount (the “Cap”); and
                    (iii) Purchaser’s sole recourse for indemnification claims by it under this Article XI, except with respect to claims for breaches of the Specified Representations, shall be pursuant to Section 11.7.
               (d) Claims for Indemnity. Whenever a claim for Damages shall arise for which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder other than a third party claim addressed by Section 11.2(e), such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing within 15 days of the first receipt of notice of such claim, and in any event within such shorter period as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Party to take appropriate action to resist such claim. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances known to the Indemnified Party regarding the claim and shall explain in reasonable detail the basis on which the Indemnified Party claims a right to indemnity, including citation to relevant sections of this Agreement, and, if estimable, shall estimate the amount of the liability arising therefrom. The failure to provide such notice shall not result in a waiver of any right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is able to demonstrate it was prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party shall be duly notified of such indemnity claim, the parties shall attempt to settle and compromise the same, or if unable to do so within 30 days of the Indemnified Party’s delivery of notice of indemnity claim, the parties may pursue such legal proceedings as may be lawfully available to them. Any rights of indemnification established by reason of such settlement or proceedings shall thereafter be paid and satisfied by the Indemnifying Party promptly after such date that the indemnified amount is finally determined.
               (e) Defense of Third Party Claims. Upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a notice from the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim of a third party against the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such claim, except if (i) the aggregate amount of the potential obligations of the Indemnified Party regarding such claim is reasonably likely to exceed the maximum obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement regarding such claim, or (ii) it is reasonably likely that such third party claim will adversely affect the Indemnified Party, other than as a result of money damages. The Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate to the extent reasonably requested by the other in defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend all such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the other in connection therewith. To elect to conduct such defense, the Indemnifying Party must give written notice of such election to the Indemnified Party within 15 days (or within the shorter period, if any, during which a defense must be commenced for the preservation of rights) after the Indemnified Party gives the corresponding initial claim notice to the Indemnifying Party (otherwise, such right to conduct such defense will be deemed waived). If the Indemnifying Party validly makes such election, it will nonetheless lose such right to conduct such defense if it fails to continue to actively and

-56-

 

diligently conduct such defense. Also, if the Indemnifying Party validly makes such election, the Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party (except that the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that counsel to the Indemnifying Party has a conflict of interest), and will have the right to receive copies of all notices, pleadings or other similar submissions regarding such defense. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any claim against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of all matters material to such defense and third party claim at all stages thereof, and there will be no settlement or compromise of such third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a third party claim and disputes the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of such claim through counsel of its choice in any manner that the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate, the costs of which shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s expense in the event that the Indemnified Party’s right of indemnification is ultimately established through settlement, compromise or other legal proceeding. In no circumstance may the Indemnified Party compromise or settle a claim with a third party for which it has an established right to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
          11.3 Exclusive Remedy. Except for claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the indemnification provided in this Article XI will constitute the exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any and all Damages asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred or suffered by, any of them, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation, any breach of any representation or warranty herein or the non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant herein or in any other agreement, document, or instrument required hereunder.
          11.4 Materiality Qualifiers. For purposes of this Article XI, in determining the amount of Damages resulting from, arising out of, based on, or relating to an untruth, inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule or any Ancillary Document, all “material,” “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications included therein will be ignored, and such representation or warranty will for such purpose be read and interpreted without regard to any such qualification (provided that any such qualification will be taken into account to determine whether an untruth, inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty has occurred.
          11.5 Effect of Knowledge. No right or obligation under this Article XI will be waived or otherwise affected by any knowledge of Purchaser or by any investigation, due diligence or verification by or on behalf of Purchaser on or before the date hereof or at or before Closing. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein will be deemed to be relied upon by each party, and none will be waived by any failure to pursue any action or by consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, except to the extent stated herein.

-57-

 

          11.6 Adjustments to Purchase Price. Any payments made pursuant to this Article XI shall be consistently treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all purposes by Sellers and Purchaser.
          11.7 Right of Set Off. Purchaser will have the right to set off the amount of any Damages related to any claim for indemnification under this Agreement against the First Earnout Amount. Such right of set off will be Purchaser’s sole recourse for indemnification claims by it under this Article XI, except with respect to claims for breaches of the Specified Representations.
          11.8 Patent Claims. The parties agree that, notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the Sellers shall not have any liability whatsoever to Purchaser or its affiliates (including liability for Damages, liability under Section 11.2 or otherwise) for any demand, action, claim, suit or other proceeding brought by any person at any time arising out of any infringement, misappropriation or violation of any patent by either Company unless, with respect to such patent proceeding, the Sellers have breached the representations and warranties in Section 3.5 (Legal Proceedings, Orders and Judgments) or 3.16(b) (Intellectual Property).
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
          12.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall pay all costs and expenses incurred on behalf of such party(ies) in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants; provided, however, that the fees and expenses incurred by the Companies in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Companies’ attorneys and accountants, will be the responsibility of the Sellers. For the avoidance of doubt, any such fees and expenses incurred by the Companies, to the extent not paid prior to the Closing Date, shall be included in the calculation of Working Capital Liabilities (as defined on Exhibit A hereto) for purposes of the adjustment contemplated by Section 2.4 hereof.
          12.2 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications made under this Agreement shall be in writing, correctly addressed to the recipient as follows:

Notices, requests, demands and other communications made under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) upon delivery, if served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given, (ii) on the date of receipt, refusal or non-delivery indicated on the receipt if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given by registered or certified, postage prepaid or by air courier, or (iii) upon confirmation of transmission, if sent by facsimile. Any party may give written notice of a change of address in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.2 and after such notice of change has been received, any subsequent notice shall be given to such party in the manner described at such new address.
          12.3 Schedules. The inclusion of any information in any Schedule attached hereto will not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in such Schedule, that such information is required to be listed in such Schedule. The headings, if any, of the individual sections of the Schedules are inserted for convenience only and will not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or a part of this Agreement. The Schedules are arranged in sections corresponding to the sections of this Agreement for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one Schedule as an exception to a particular covenant, representation or warranty will be deemed disclosed as an exception with respect to all other covenants, representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such other covenants, representations or warranties is reasonably apparent on the face of such item.
          12.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Disclosure Schedule, and the Standard Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated July 1, 2009, between Purchaser and the Companies, sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject

-59-

 

matter hereof, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, between the parties or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to such subject matter.
          12.5 Governing Law. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement, and any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to the Laws of such State as to choice or conflict of Laws.
          12.6 Waiver and Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified and/or rescinded only through an express written instrument signed by all parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any party may specifically and expressly waive in writing any portion of this Agreement or any breach hereof, but only to the extent such provision is for the benefit of the waiving party, and no such waiver shall constitute a further or continuing waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision. The consent by one party to any act for which such consent was required shall not be deemed to imply consent or waiver of the necessity of obtaining such consent for the same or similar acts in the future, and no forbearance by a party to seek a remedy for noncompliance or breach by another party shall be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to such noncompliance or breach.
          12.7 Assignment. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any interest herein shall be assignable (voluntarily, involuntarily, by judicial process, operation of Law or otherwise), in whole or in part, by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such attempted assignment shall be null and void.
          12.8 Successors and Assigns. Each of the terms, provisions and obligations of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.
          12.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement will be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under, or in respect of, this Agreement or any provision hereof; provided, however, that, for greater certainty, it is acknowledged that, for purposes of the indemnification protection afforded by Article XI hereof, the Purchaser is entering into this Agreement on its own behalf and as agent and trustee for the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties and each of the Sellers is entering into this Agreement on its own behalf and as agent and trustee for the Seller Indemnified Party(ies) with which it is associated.
          12.10 Sellers’ Representative. Each Seller hereby appoints the Sellers’ Representative as his or her attorney-in-fact, authorizing him to act on such Seller’s behalf to supervise the Closing on behalf of the Sellers, to execute and deliver any Ancillary Documents and any instruments of transfer or other documents required of the Sellers and to receive all documents to be delivered by Purchaser at the Closing, to take all actions (including giving any approvals or consents) and make all decisions contemplated by this Agreement (whether to be given before or after Closing), and take any other action permitted or required by this Agreement

-60-

 

or any Ancillary Document to be taken on behalf of the Sellers or any particular Seller, and to administer all other matters related hereto. The Sellers’ Representative may be removed or replaced by one or more Sellers who together, as of the date hereof, hold a majority of the outstanding common stock of the CA Company; provided, that Purchaser consents to such replacement Sellers’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Each of the Sellers hereby agrees that (i) the Sellers’ Representative shall not have any liability to any of the other Sellers for any actions or omissions in connection with serving as the Sellers’ Representative absent willful misconduct or gross negligence; (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have no liability to the Sellers for any actions or omissions of the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon any action, decision or direction taken, omitted to be taken or given by the Sellers’ Representative without further action or inquiry; and (iii) any requirement (under this Agreement or any Ancillary Documents) that Purchaser make delivery to one or more Sellers shall be deemed satisfied by delivery to the Sellers’ Representative. Each of the CA Company Sellers agrees to reimburse the Sellers’ Representative for his, her or its pro rata portion of any costs or expenses incurred by Sellers’ Representative in connection with serving as the Sellers’ Representative, in each case based on such CA Company Seller’s Proportionate Interest.
          12.11 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction: (i) a substitute and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction, the intent and purpose of the invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision; and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability of such provision affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
          12.12 No Presumption. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
          12.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute a single agreement.
          12.14 Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement and any other document or agreement executed in connection herewith may be executed by delivery of a facsimile copy of an executed signature page with the same force and effect as the delivery of an originally executed signature page.
