Options to be surrendered by such WinZip Optionholder; and (ii) the terms

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS
AND AGREEMENTS OF THE SELLER
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, the Seller
represents and warrants, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties for purposes of Article IX, only as to the matters expressly set forth
in this Article III. Disclosure of an item anywhere on the Disclosure Schedule
shall be deemed to be disclosure of such item with respect to, and therefore to
qualify each representation and warranty contained in, each Section and
subsection in this Article III where such qualification is reasonably apparent
from the text of the disclosure; provided, however, that for purposes of
determining whether the Seller has committed a fraudulent breach of a
representation or warranty, such qualification need not be reasonably apparent
from the text of the disclosure. Representations and warranties shall be deemed
to be qualified by the items set forth in the Disclosure Schedule even if they
do not expressly use the phrase "except as set forth in Part ___ of the
Disclosure Schedule" (or phrases of similar import). Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Article III, the only representations and warranties made by
the Seller relating, directly or indirectly, to intellectual property assets or
intellectual property issues (including the Owned Intellectual Property),
including, but not limited to, any agreements, licenses, liabilities, ownership,
performance, software "bugs", design flaws, security vulnerabilities, warranties
as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or suitability of
software, title or infringement issues, or rights or authority or any other
matters relating thereto, are made in Section 3.13 hereof. The inclusion of any
direct or indirect reference to intellectual property assets or issues, or
rights or authority relating thereto, in any Part of the Disclosure Schedule
shall not be deemed to have the effect or to imply that any provision of this
Article III (other than Section 3.13) contains representations and warranties
pertaining to intellectual property assets or issues.
Section 3.01 Organization and Qualification. Each WinZip
Entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full power and authority to own
its properties and to conduct the businesses in which it is now engaged. Each
WinZip Entity is in good standing in each other jurisdiction wherein the failure
to qualify or to be in good standing could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Part 3.01 of the Disclosure
Schedule, WinZip Holdings does not have any subsidiaries, own any capital stock
or other proprietary interest, directly or indirectly, in any other Person, nor
have any agreement with any Person to acquire any such capital stock or other
proprietary interest. Accurate and complete copies of the articles of
incorporation, including all amendments thereto and restatements thereof, and
by-laws (or other similar organizational documents, as applicable) of each
WinZip Entity and of the corporate minutes and the stock record books of each
WinZip Entity have been delivered to the Purchaser. Complete and accurate
records with respect to the issuance, transfer, redemption and cancellation of
all shares of capital stock are set forth in such stock record books.
Section 3.02 Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement. The
Seller and WinZip Holdings have all power, capacity and authority necessary to
enter into and to perform their obligations under this Agreement and each
Transaction Document to which they are party. This Agreement and each
Transaction Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
- 3 -
the Seller and WinZip Holdings, enforceable against the Seller and WinZip
Holdings in accordance with their terms, subject to (i) Laws of general
application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and
(ii) Laws governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable
remedies.
Section 3.03 No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery
of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by WinZip Holdings and the Seller,
nor, the performance by WinZip Holdings and the Seller pursuant hereto or
thereto, will (a) violate the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other
similar organizational documents of any WinZip Entity, (b) result in a violation
or breach of, or permit any third party to rescind any term or provision of, or
constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other
Contract, license or other agreement to which the Seller, the Company or any
other WinZip Entity is a party or by which either of them, or any of the
property or assets of the Company or any other WinZip entity, is bound, or
create any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any other
WinZip Entity, (c) violate any Law, order, award, judgment, or decree applicable
to or binding on the Seller, the Company or any other WinZip Entity, or any
permit, license or approval of any Governmental Authority which is material to
the operation of the business, or (d) require any notice to, or consent,
approval, order or authorization of, or the registration, declaration or filing
with, any Governmental Authority or other third party.

Disclosure Schedule. As of the Closing Date, the Seller will own all of the

will have the unrestricted right to transfer the WinZip Shares to the Purchaser

Shares have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and
non-assessable. WinZip Holdings, either directly or indirectly, owns all of the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (or other equity interests, as
applicable) of each other WinZip Entity, including, without limitation, the
Company.
(b) Other than the WinZip Options, there are no outstanding
subscriptions, warrants, options, calls, commitments or other rights or

any WinZip Entity.

other Person, nor has the Company assigned its interest under any lease or
sublease listed on Part 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule to any third party.
(d) The Seller has, or has caused to be, delivered to the
Purchaser correct and complete copies of all leases and subleases listed on Part
3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule and

any and all ancillary documents pertaining thereto. With respect to each of such
leases and subleases, except as otherwise set forth on Part 3.11 of the
Disclosure Schedule:
(i) such lease or sublease, together with all
ancillary documents, is legal, valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and
effect and represents the entire agreement between the respective landlord and
tenant with respect to such property;
(ii) such lease or sublease will not cease to be
legal, valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and effect on terms
identical to those currently in effect as a result of the consummation of the
Transactions, nor will the consummation of the Transactions constitute a breach
or default under such lease or sublease or otherwise give the landlord a right
to terminate such lease or sublease;
(iii) with respect to each such lease or sublease:
(A) neither the Seller nor any WinZip Entity has received any notice of
cancellation or termination under such lease or sublease and no lessor has any
right of termination or cancellation under such lease or sublease except in
connection with the default of the Company thereunder, (B) neither the Seller
nor any WinZip Entity has received any notice of a breach or default under such
lease or sublease, which breach or default has not been cured, and (C) the
Company has not granted any other Person any rights, adverse or otherwise, under
such lease or sublease; and
(iv) neither the Company nor to the knowledge of the
Seller any other party to such lease or sublease, is in breach or default
thereunder in any material respect, and, to the knowledge of the Seller, no
event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute such a
breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such
lease or sublease.
(e) There are no condemnation proceedings or eminent domain
proceedings of any, kind pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened
against any of the Leased Real Property.
(f) All the Leased Real Property is occupied under a valid and
current certificate of occupancy or similar permit, the Transactions will not
require the issuance of any new or amended certificate of occupancy and, to the
knowledge of the Seller, there are no facts that would prevent the Leased Real
Property from being occupied after the Closing in the same manner as immediately
prior to the Closing.
(g) All improvements on the Leased Real Property constructed
by or on behalf of the Company or, to the knowledge of the Seller, constructed
by or on behalf of any other Person were constructed in compliance with all
applicable Laws (including, but not limited to, any building, planning or zoning
Laws) affecting such Leased Real Property.
Section 3.12 Intellectual Property.
(a) Part 3.12 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a complete
and accurate list of all Registered Owned Intellectual Property and specifies,
where applicable, the jurisdictions in which each such item of Registered Owned
Intellectual Property has been issued or registered and lists any pending
proceedings or actions before any court, tribunal (including the United
- 8 -
States Patent and Trademark Office or equivalent authority anywhere in the
world) related to any of the Registered Owned Intellectual Property.
(b) Except as disclosed on Part 3.12 of the Disclosure
Schedule, all necessary registration, maintenance and renewal fees currently due
in connection with Registered Owned Intellectual Property have been made and all
necessary documents, recordations and certificates in connection with such
Registered Owned Intellectual Property have been filed with the relevant patent,
copyright, trademark or other authorities in the United States or foreign
jurisdictions, as the case may be, for the purposes of maintaining such
Registered Owned Intellectual Property. There are no actions that must be taken
by the Company within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, including the
payment of any registration, maintenance or renewal fees or the filing of any
documents, applications or certificates for the purposes of maintaining,
perfecting or preserving or renewing any Registered Owned Intellectual Property.
(c) All the Owned Intellectual Property is owned by the
Company free and clear of any Encumbrance and, except as set forth on Part 3.12
of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Owned Intellectual Property infringes on
the Intellectual Property of any other Person; provided, however, that, in the
case of trademarks, the representations and warranties set forth in the first
sentence of this Section 3.12(c) are made to the knowledge of the Seller. To the
knowledge of the Seller, and except as set forth on Part 3.12 of the Disclosure
Schedule, no Person is using any Intellectual Property that infringes upon the
Owned Intellectual Property.

employees, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (individually, and
collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties") against and in respect of any
and all Losses caused by or resulting or arising from (i) the breach by WinZip
Holdings or the Seller of any of their covenants or agreements hereunder or
under any of the Transaction Documents (limited, in the case of WinZip Holdings,
to breaches occurring at or before Closing); and (ii) the breach or inaccuracy
of any of the representations or warranties made by the Seller herein (including
in any Exhibit or Schedule) or in any Transaction Document.
(b) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall promptly after any
of them becomes aware of any circumstance which might reasonably be expected to
become the subject matter of a claim to be made by any of them against the
Seller under this Agreement (a "Purchaser Claim"), advise the Seller in writing
of such circumstance, and shall provide the Seller, from time to time, such
information that the Seller shall reasonably request in connection therewith;
provided that any delay or failure to so advise the Seller shall not relieve the
Seller from any liability except to the extent that the defense of such
Purchaser Claim is prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Purchaser shall have
exclusive control and discretion in the conduct of the defense of any such
matter, however, the Seller shall not be required to make any indemnification
hereunder with respect to any amounts paid in settlement except to the extent
the Seller have approved the terms thereof, acting reasonably. The Seller shall

any matter which is or may be the subject of a Purchaser Claim for
indemnification hereunder, and shall have the right to participate in the

expenses of counsel, shall be at the expense of the Seller.

(the "General Indemnity Cap"); and
(B) unless and until the aggregate amounts
indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds the product of (i) twenty-three thousand
two hundred ninety-nine (23,299) multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Consideration
(the "Threshold"), at which time all such amounts (including those below the
Threshold) shall be indemnifiable (subject to the General Indemnity Cap).
(ii) The limitations set forth in Section
9.01(c)(i)(A) above shall not apply with respect to fraud or to claims
respecting breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section

purposes of the application of this Section 9.01(c)(i)(B)(ii) only (i.e., not

not include representations and warranties in Section 3.04 which apply to the

in respect of any and all Losses caused by or resulting or arising from (i) the
breach by the Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements hereunder or under
any of the Transaction Documents; and (ii) the breach or inaccuracy of any of
the representations or warranties made by the Purchaser herein (including in any
Exhibit or Schedule) or in any Transaction Documents.
(b) The Seller Indemnified Parties shall promptly after any of
them becomes aware of any circumstance which might reasonably be expected to
become the subject matter of a claim to be made by any of them against the
Purchaser under this Agreement (a "Seller Claim"), advise the Purchaser of such
circumstance, and shall afford the Purchaser, from time to time, such
information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request in connection therewith;

Seller Claim is prejudiced by such delay or failure.

indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds the Threshold, at which time all such

with respect to any matter allegedly the subject of this Article IX prior to
such period, the obligations under this Article IX shall continue in force and
effect indefinitely until the applicable claim is finally resolved and provided
further that the Seller Specified Representations and the Purchaser Specified
Representations shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations or
applicable period of reassessment (for each date, the applicable "Survival
Expiration Date").
Section 9.04 Additional Indemnification Provisions.

the provisions of this Article IX shall be the exclusive basis for the assertion
of claims against, or the imposition of liability on, any Party in respect of
the Transactions, including any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement in
each case other than claims for specific performance.
(b) As used herein, "Losses" means any and all losses, claims,
assessments, demands, damages, liabilities, diminution in value, obligations,
costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel sustained or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties (or any of them) or the Seller Indemnified Parties (or any of them), as
the case may be, in any action, dispute, claim or proceeding between any of the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, and any of the Seller
Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, or involving a third-party claim against
any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or any of the Seller Indemnified

contribution, right of subrogation or other right of recovery from any WinZip
Entity in connection with any claim made by any Purchaser Indemnified Person
against the Seller Indemnified Persons (or any of them), hereunder, all of which
