If the Final Working Capital Adjustment is a negative number, Optiant shall pay the Final Working Capital Adjustment to NEWCO by wire transfer to the account to be specified by NEWCO by notice to Optiant. If zero, then no payment shall be made. Within three (3) Business Days after the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment becomes binding and conclusive on the Parties pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement, Optiant or NEWCO, as the case may be, shall make the wire transfer payment provided for in this Section 2.7.

2.8. Adjustment Procedure.

(a) NEWCO shall prepare financial statements (“Closing Financial Statements”) of Optiant as of the Closing Date and for the period from the date of the Balance Sheet through the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP, including among other things a balance sheet (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). To the extent possible, the Closing Financial; Statements shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation of Optiant’s financial statements from November 30, 2009; provided that, to the extent such consistency is not possible due to GAAP, appropriate changes shall be made to November 30 Working Capital to ensure that the Final Closing Date Working Capital and November 30 Working Capital are prepared and calculated in the same manner. NEWCO shall then use the Closing Balance Sheet to determine the Working Capital of Optiant as of the Closing Date (the “Final Closing Date Working Capital”) and the cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of Optiant as of the Closing Date (the “Final Closing Date Cash”), and thereby determine the Final Working Capital Adjustment. NEWCO shall deliver to Optiant the Closing Financial Statements and its determination of Final Closing Date Working Capital, Final Closing Date Cash and Final Working Capital Adjustment and working papers utilized to determine the Final Working Capital Adjustment within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date.

(b) If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Closing Financial Statements and the Final Closing Date Working Capital, Final Closing Date Cash and Final Working Capital Adjustment calculations, Optiant has not given NEWCO written notice of its objection as to such calculation (which notice shall state the basis of Optiant’s objection), then the Final Working Capital Adjustment calculated by NEWCO shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be used in computing the amount payable under Section 2.7(b) of this Agreement to reconcile the Closing Payment to the Purchase Price.

(c) If Optiant duly gives NEWCO such notice of objection, and if Optiant and NEWCO fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Closing Financial Statements and the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment within thirty (30) days of NEWCO’s receipt of such objection notice, then Optiant and NEWCO shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to a certified public accountant employed by one of the four largest national accounting firms with whom no Party has had a business relationship during the three-year period preceding the Closing Date, or if no such accountant is reasonably available, then to a certified public accountant acceptable to all Parties (the “Independent Accountant”) for resolution applying the principles, policies, and practices referred to in Section 2.8(a) of this Agreement. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, then:

(i) Optiant and NEWCO shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountant may request and are available to that Party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountant;

(ii) the determination by the Independent Accountant, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Optiant and NEWCO within sixty (60) days of the submission to the Independent Accountant of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the Parties and shall be used in the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment; and

(iii) Optiant and NEWCO will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountant for such determination.

2.9. Allocation. Schedule 2.9 contains an allocation of the Purchase Price prepared by NEWCO as a good faith estimate of the final Allocation of the Purchase Price (and all other capitalizable costs) among the Assets in accordance with Code §1060 and the Treasury regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation”). NEWCO shall, within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, prepare a final Allocation and shall deliver such Allocation to Optiant (subject to delay to the extent required due to the procedures set forth in Section 2.8 of this Agreement). After the Closing, the Parties shall make consistent use of the Allocation (as so finalized), fair market value, and useful lives specified in Schedule 2.9 for all Tax purposes and in all filings, declarations, and reports with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in respect thereof, including the reports required to be filed under Section 1060 of the Code. NEWCO shall prepare and deliver IRS Form 8594 to Optiant within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date to be filed with the IRS (subject to delay to the extent required due to the procedures set forth in Section 2.8 of this Agreement). In any Proceeding related to the determination of any Tax, neither NEWCO nor Optiant nor the Shareholders shall contend or represent that the Allocation (as so finalized) is not a correct allocation.

3.20. Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) List of Plans. Set forth on Schedule 3.20(a) is an accurate and complete list of all U.S. and non-U.S. employee benefit plans (“Employee Benefit Plans”), defined as:

(i) “employee benefit plans,” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (“ERISA”);

(ii) bonus, stock option, stock purchase, restricted stock, incentive, fringe benefit, “voluntary employees’ beneficiary associations” (“VEBAs”) under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code, profit sharing, pension, or retirement, deferred compensation, medical, health savings, health reimbursement, health care or dependent care flexible spending, life, disability, accident, salary continuation, severance, accrued leave, vacation, sick pay, sick leave, supplemental retirement and unemployment benefit plans, programs, arrangements, commitments or practices (whether or not insured), and any other plan, program, arrangement, commitment or practice that may be maintained for the benefit of active, retired, or former employees or directors; and

(iii) employment, consulting, termination, and severance contracts or agreements and any other contract or agreement subject to Section 409A of the Code for active, retired, or former employees or directors,

regardless of whether any such plans, programs, arrangements, commitments, contracts, agreements or practices (referred to in (i), (ii) or (iii) above) are in writing or are otherwise exempt from the provisions of ERISA that have been established, maintained, or contributed to (or with respect to which an obligation to contribute has been undertaken) or with respect to which any potential liability is borne by Optiant (including, for this purpose and for the purpose of all of the representations in this Section 3.20, any predecessors to Optiant and all employers (whether or not incorporated) that would be treated, together with Optiant as a single employer (A) within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code or (B) as a result of Optiant being or having been a general partner of any such employer).

(b) Status of Plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan (including any related trust) complies in form with the requirements of all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code, and the respective regulations thereunder, and has at all times been maintained and operated in substantial compliance with its terms and the requirements of all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code, and the respective regulations thereunder. Except as required to maintain the tax-qualified status of any Employee Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, no condition or circumstance exists that would prevent the amendment or termination of any Employee Benefit Plan. No event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed that would result in a material increase in the benefits under or the expense of maintaining any Employee Benefit Plan from the level of benefits or expense incurred for the most recent fiscal year.

(c) Liabilities. Neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any withdrawal liability (including any contingent or secondary withdrawal liability) within the meaning of Sections 4201 or 4204 of ERISA to any Employee Benefit Plan that is a “multiemployer plan” (as such term is defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) (“Multiemployer Plan”), and no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed, that presents a material risk of the occurrence of any withdrawal from or the partition, termination, reorganization or insolvency of any such Multiemployer Plan that would result in any liability of Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries to any such Multiemployer Plan.

Neither Optiant nor any other employer that would be treated with Optiant as a single employer within the meaning of Section 414(a) of the Code has ever maintained an Employee Benefit Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA. At no time has Optiant or any other employer that would be treated with Optiant as a single employer within the meaning of Section 414(a) of the Code been obligated to contribute to any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA). No Employee Benefit Plan is funded by, associated with or related to a “voluntary employee’s beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

Neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains any Employee Benefit Plan that is a “group health plan” (as such term is defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code or Section 607(1) of ERISA) that has not been administered and operated in all respects in compliance with the applicable requirements of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code and neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any liability, including additional contributions, fines, taxes, penalties or loss of tax deduction, as a result of such administration and operation. No Employee Benefit Plan that is such a group health plan is a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 125 of the Code meets such requirements, and each program of benefits for which employee contributions are provided pursuant to elections under any Employee Benefit Plan meets the requirements of the Code applicable thereto. Neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains any Employee Benefit Plan that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) that has provided any “disqualified benefit” (as such term is defined in Section 4976(b) of the Code) with respect to which an excise tax could be imposed.

Neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains any Employee Benefit Plan (whether qualified or non-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code) providing for post-employment or retiree health, life insurance or other welfare benefits and having unfunded liabilities, regardless of whether such liabilities are paid from the general assets of Optiant or from a separate trust, and neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation to provide any such benefits to any retired or former employees or active employees following such employees’ retirement or termination of service, subject to the requirements imposed by COBRA or the regulations thereunder. Neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries has any unfunded liabilities pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan that is not intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

Neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any Liability for any tax or excise tax arising under Chapter 43 of the Code, and no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed that could give rise to any such Liability.

There are no actions, suits, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of Optiant, threatened, anticipated or expected to be asserted against or with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or the assets of any such plan (other than routine claims for benefits and appeals of denied routine claims). No civil or criminal action brought pursuant to the provisions of Title I, Subtitle B, Part 5 of ERISA is pending, threatened, anticipated, or expected to be asserted against Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries or any fiduciary of any

Employee Benefit Plan, in any case with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan. To the knowledge of Optiant, no Employee Benefit Plan or any fiduciary thereof has been the direct or indirect subject of an audit, investigation or examination by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority.

(d) Contributions. Full payment has been timely made of all amounts that Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries is required, under applicable Law or under any Employee Benefit Plan or any agreement relating to any Employee Benefit Plan to which Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, to have paid as contributions or premiums thereto as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Employee Benefit Plan ended prior to the date hereof. All such contributions and/or premiums have been fully deducted for income tax purposes and no such deduction has been challenged or disallowed by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, and to the knowledge of Optiant and its Subsidiaries, no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed that would give rise to any such challenge or disallowance. Optiant has made adequate provision for reserves to meet contributions and premiums and any other Liabilities that have not been paid or satisfied because they are not yet due under the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan, applicable Law or related agreements. Benefits under all Employee Benefit Plans are as represented and have not been increased subsequent to the date as of which documents have been provided.

(e) Tax Qualification. Each Employee Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, as currently in effect, has been determined to be so qualified by the IRS or the period for obtaining such a determination remains open or is in the form of a master or prototype or volume submitter relying on a valid opinion letter from the IRS. Each trust established in connection with any Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to be exempt from Federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, as currently in effect, has been determined to be so exempt by the IRS. Each VEBA has been determined by the IRS to be exempt from Federal income tax action under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Since the date of each most recent determination referred to in this paragraph (f), no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed that resulted or is likely to result in the revocation of any such determination or that would adversely affect the qualified status of any such Employee Benefit Plan or the exempt status of any such trust or VEBA.

(f) Transactions. No “reportable event” (as such term is defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) for which the thirty-day notice requirement has not been waived by the PBGC has occurred or is expected to occur with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan. Neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their directors, officers, employees or, to the knowledge of Optiant, other Persons who participate in the operation of any Employee Benefit Plan or related trust or funding vehicle have engaged in any transaction with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or breached any applicable fiduciary responsibilities or obligations under Title I of ERISA that would subject any of them to a tax, penalty or Liability for prohibited transactions or breach of any obligations under ERISA or the Code or would result in any claim being made under, by or on behalf of any such Employee Benefit Plan by any party with standing to make such claim.

(g) Triggering Events. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.20(g), the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not constitute a triggering event under any Employee Benefit Plan, policy,

arrangement, statement, commitment or agreement, whether or not legally enforceable, which (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent event) will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), “parachute payment” (as such term is defined in Section 280G of the Code), acceleration, vesting or increase in benefits to any employee or former employee or director of Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries. No Employee Benefit Plan provides for the payment of severance, termination, change in control or similar-type payments or benefits.

(h) Documents. Optiant has delivered or made available to NEWCO and its counsel true and complete copies of all material documents in connection with each Employee Benefit Plan, including (where applicable): (i) all Employee Benefit Plans as in effect on the date hereof, together with all amendments thereto, including, in the case of any Employee Benefit Plan not set forth in writing, a written description thereof; (ii) all current summary plan descriptions, summaries of material modifications, and material communications; (iii) all current trust agreements, declarations of trust and other documents establishing other funding arrangements (and all amendments thereto and the latest financial statements thereof); (iv) the most recent IRS determination letter, if any, obtained with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code or exempt under Section 501(a) or 501(c)(9) of the Code; (v) the annual report on IRS Form 5500-series or 990 for each of the last three years for each Employee Benefit Plan required to file such form; (vi) the most recently prepared financial statements; and (viii) all contracts and agreements relating to each Employee Benefit Plan, including service provider agreements, insurance contracts, annuity contracts, investment management agreements, subscription agreements, participation agreements, and recordkeeping agreements and collective bargaining agreements.

(i) Code Section 409(A). No payment pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan, Contract or other arrangement between Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries and any “service provider” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and IRS guidance thereunder, or equivalent Laws or codes of practice in any other jurisdiction) would subject any Person to tax pursuant to Section 409A(1) of the Code, or equivalent Laws or codes of practice in any other jurisdiction, whether pursuant to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise.

3.21. Environmental Laws and Regulations. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.21 and except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Optiant:

(a) Optiant and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and have obtained, and are in compliance with, all Permits required under applicable Environmental Laws;

(b) there are no Proceedings by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority or other Person or entity pending or, to the knowledge of Optiant, threatened against Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law; and

(c) there are no facts, circumstances, or conditions relating to the past or present business or operations of Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries (including the disposal of any wastes, hazardous substances, or other materials), or to any past or present Optiant Property, that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Proceeding, or to any Liability, under any Environmental Law.

3.22. Interests in Clients, Suppliers, Etc. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.22:

(a) Other than (i) standard employee benefits generally made available to all employees, (ii) standard director and officer indemnification agreements approved by Optiant’s Board of Directors, and (iii) the purchase of shares of the Company’s capital stock and the issuance of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in each instance, approved in the written minutes of Optiant’s Board of Directors, there are no Contracts, liabilities, or obligations between Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries and any Related Person of Optiant; and

(b) neither Optiant, nor any Related Person of Optiant, possesses, directly or indirectly, any financial interest in, or is a director, officer or employee of, any Person that is a client, supplier, customer, lessor, lessee, or competitor or potential competitor of Optiant or any of its Subsidiaries.

Ownership of 1% or less of any class of securities of a company whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall not be deemed to be a financial interest for purposes of this Section 3.22.

3.23. [Reserved.]

3.24. Permits. Optiant has delivered or made available to NEWCO for inspection a true and correct copy of each permit (including occupancy permit), certificate, license, consent or authorization of any Governmental or Regulatory Authority (each, a “Permit”) obtained or possessed by Optiant and its Subsidiaries, each of which is listed on Schedule 3.24. The Permits comprise all registrations or filings with or notices to any Governmental or Regulatory Authority that are necessary for the lawful conduct of the businesses of Optiant and its Subsidiaries as presently conducted, or necessary for the lawful ownership of their properties and assets. All such Permits are in full force and effect. Optiant and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all such Permits in all material respects. Each such Permit (i) to Optiant’s knowledge, can be renewed or (ii) can be transferred to NEWCO. Any applications for the renewal of any such Permit that are due prior to the Closing Date have been timely made or filed by Optiant or the appropriate Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date. No Proceeding to modify, suspend, revoke, withdraw, terminate, or otherwise limit any such Permit is pending or, to Optiant’s knowledge, threatened, and Optiant knows of no valid basis for such Proceeding, including the transactions contemplated hereby. No administrative or governmental action or Proceeding has been taken or, to Optiant’s knowledge, threatened, in connection with the expiration, continuance, or renewal of any such Permit, and Optiant knows of no valid basis for any such Proceeding.

3.25. No Changes Since Balance Sheet Date. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.25, since the Balance Sheet Date there has not been a Material Adverse Change with respect to Optiant; no fact, circumstance, or event has occurred that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to Optiant; and neither Optiant nor any of its Subsidiaries has:

(ii) cause, induce, or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Optiant on the Closing Date or within one year preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business with NEWCO or to deal with any competitor of NEWCO in furtherance of a Competing Business, or in any way interfere with such Person’s relationship with NEWCO; or

(iii) hire, retain, or attempt to hire or retain any employee or independent contractor of NEWCO or in any way interfere with the relationship between NEWCO and any of its employees or independent contractors in furtherance of a Competing Business.

For three (3) years after the Closing Date, Optiant shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information that was owned or controlled by Optiant as of the Closing Date and was sold, transferred, or otherwise conveyed to NEWCO in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. “Confidential Information” means any non-public information (in any form or media) regarding Optiant’s: (i) customers, suppliers, licensees, licensors, or franchisees (including lists of such Persons), (ii) Software code and modifications, or (iii) methods of operation, programs and databases, patents and designs, pricing, billing rates, billing procedures, vendors and suppliers, business methods, finances, management, or any other non-public business information relating to Optiant (including but not limited to information otherwise and severally protected as a trade secret under the Georgia Trade Secrets Act of 1990) which has value to NEWCO and is treated by NEWCO as being confidential; provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include any information that has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by NEWCO (except where such public disclosure has been made by Optiant without authorization) or that has been independently developed and disclosed by others, or that otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means.

(e) Nondisparagement. For three (3) years after the Closing Date, Optiant shall not disparage NEWCO or any of NEWCO’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents.

(f) Modification of Covenant. If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in this Section 6.1 is invalid or unenforceable, then the Parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision in order to protect NEWCO’s legitimate business interests in its customer relationships, confidential information and trade secrets, and goodwill, as well as the customer relationships, confidential information and trade secrets, and goodwill that NEWCO is acquiring from Optiant in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is expressly agreed that each provision of this Section 6.1 is intended to be severable.

(g) Tolling. If Optiant challenges in court the enforceability of any of the terms of this Section 6.1 of this Agreement, and Optiant is not enjoined from breaching any of the protective covenants contained herein, and a court of competent jurisdiction later finds that the challenged protective covenants at issue are enforceable, then the time periods shall be deemed tolled upon the filing of the lawsuit in which the enforceability of this Agreement was challenged until the dispute is finally resolved and all periods of appeal have expired.

6.2. Nonsolicitation of Employees.

(a) Optiant shall not, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, knowingly solicit for employment any employee of NEWCO; provided, however, that this Section 6.2 shall not preclude Optiant from soliciting for employment or hiring any such employee who (i) responds to a general solicitation through a public medium or general or mass mailing by or on behalf of Optiant that is not targeted at employees of NEWCO or (ii) contacts Optiant directly on such individual’s own initiative.

(b) It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provision or portion of this Section 6.2 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Section shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of such Section in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(c) The Parties recognize that the performance of the obligations under this Section 6.2 by Optiant is special, unique, and extraordinary in character, and that in the event of Optiant’s Breach of the terms and conditions of this Section 6.2, NEWCO shall be entitled, if it so elects, to obtain damages for any breach of this Section 6.2, or to enforce the specific performance thereof by Optiant or to enjoin Optiant from performing such services without the necessity of posting bond or establishing the inadequacy of any remedy at law.

6.3. Employee Matters. Optiant shall be responsible for all severance, termination, retention pay, benefits and similar payments to all employees of Optiant whose employment with Optiant is terminated or who elect to retire, resign, or otherwise terminate their employment from Optiant.

6.4. Contract Assignments. Schedule 6.4 contains a list of those certain Contracts which (i) by their terms are not assignable by Optiant to NEWCO without the consent of the other party to the Contract and (ii) NEWCO wishes to be assigned to NEWCO with the consent of the other party, if such consent is obtainable on terms satisfactory to NEWCO in its sole discretion (the “Restricted Contracts”). Neither this Agreement nor the Assignment and Assumption Agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance, or delivery (or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance, or delivery) of the Restricted Contracts. For six (6) months following the Closing, the Parties shall use Best Efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain the consent relating to each Restricted Contract as quickly as practicable. Pending the obtaining of such consents relating to any Restricted

Contract, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to NEWCO the benefits of use of the Restricted Contract for its term (or any right or benefit arising thereunder, including the enforcement for the benefit of NEWCO of any and all rights of Optiant against a third party thereunder), and NEWCO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Optiant (including providing access to the Assets, to the extent necessary) in fulfilling any of its obligations under the Restricted Contracts. Once a consent for the sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance, and delivery of a Restricted Contract is obtained, Optiant shall promptly assign, transfer, convey, and deliver such Restricted Contract to NEWCO, and NEWCO shall assume the obligations under such Restricted Contract assigned to NEWCO from and after the date of assignment to NEWCO pursuant to a special-purpose assignment and assumption agreement substantially similar in terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (which special-purpose agreement the Parties shall prepare, execute, and deliver in good faith at the time of such transfer, all at no additional cost to NEWCO). Logility hereby agrees to take all steps necessary to assure that NEWCO shall comply with the obligations of NEWCO under this Section 6.4.

6.5. Announcements. From and after the Closing Date, no press releases or public announcements related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or other announcements related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to Optiant’s employees, customers or suppliers, shall be issued without NEWCO’s consent or approval.

6.6. Accounts Receivable. Optiant shall forward to NEWCO, promptly after receipt, any payments received from customers (to the extent such payments are Assets), with endorsement of customer checks to the order of NEWCO or otherwise as NEWCO may direct.

7. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF PARTIES.

7.1. Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) Information on Active Employees. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Active Employees” shall mean all employees employed on the Closing Date by Optiant for its business who are:

(i) bargaining unit employees currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement or

(ii) employed exclusively in Optiant’s business as currently conducted, including employees on temporary leave of absence, including family medical leave, military leave, disability, or sick leave.

(b) Employment of Active Employees by NEWCO.

(i) NEWCO is not obligated to hire any Active Employee, but may hire any Active Employee (a “Hired Active Employee”). Subject to any Law, NEWCO will have reasonable access to the facilities and personnel records (including performance appraisals, disciplinary actions, grievances and medical records) of Optiant for the purpose of preparing for and conducting employment interviews with all Active Employees and may, in its discretion, conduct the interviews following the Closing Date. Access will be provided by Optiant upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours.

(ii) Neither Optiant nor any of the Shareholders nor their Related Persons shall solicit the continued employment of any Active Employee (unless and until NEWCO has informed Optiant in writing that the particular Active Employee will not receive any employment offer from NEWCO) or the employment of any Hired Active Employee after the Closing. NEWCO shall inform Optiant promptly of the identities of those Active Employees to whom it will not make employment offers.

(iii) Optiant and the Shareholders understand and agree that (A) NEWCO’s expressed intention to extend offers of employment as set forth in this Section shall not constitute any commitment, Contract, or understanding (expressed or implied) of any obligation on the part of NEWCO with respect to any post-Closing employment relationship of any term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that NEWCO may establish pursuant to individual offers of employment, if any, and (B) employment offered by NEWCO is “at will” and may be terminated by NEWCO or by an employee at any time for any reason (subject to applicable Law and any written commitment to the contrary made by NEWCO or an employee). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of NEWCO to terminate, reassign, promote, or demote any of the Hired Active Employees after the Closing or to change adversely or favorably the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment of such employees.

(i) Except as specifically defined as an Assumed Liability, Optiant shall be responsible for (A) the payment of all wages and other remuneration due to Active Employees with respect to their services as employees of Optiant through the close of business on the Closing Date, including pro rata bonus payments and all vacation pay earned prior to the Closing Date; (B) the payment of any termination or severance payments and the provision of health plan continuation coverage in accordance with the requirements of COBRA and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA; and (C) any and all payments to employees required under WARN, if applicable.

(ii) Except as specifically defined as an Assumed Liability, Optiant shall be liable for any claims made or incurred by Active Employees and their beneficiaries through the Closing Date under the Employee Benefit Plans. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a charge will be deemed incurred, in the case of hospital, medical, or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the charge are performed and, in the case of other benefits (such as disability or life insurance), when an event has occurred or when a condition has been diagnosed that entitles the employee to the benefit.

(d) Optiant’s Retirement and Savings Plans.

(i) All Hired Active Employees who are participants in Optiant’s retirement plans, if any, shall retain their accrued benefits under Optiant’s retirement plans as of the Closing Date, and Optiant (or Optiant’s retirement plans) shall retain sole

liability for the payment of such benefits as and when such Hired Active Employees become eligible therefor under such plans. All Hired Active Employees shall become fully vested in their accrued benefits under Optiant’s retirement plans as of the Closing Date, and Optiant will so amend such plans if necessary to achieve this result.

(e) No Transfer of Assets. Neither Optiant nor the Shareholders nor their Related Persons will make any transfer of pension or other Employee Benefit Plan assets to NEWCO.

(f) Other Matters. NEWCO will set its own initial terms and conditions of employment for the Hired Active Employees and others it may hire, including work rules, benefits and salary and wage structure, all as permitted by Law. Optiant shall be solely liable for any severance payment required to be made to its employees due to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any bargaining obligations of NEWCO with any union with respect to bargaining unit employees subsequent to the Closing, whether such obligations arise before or after the Closing, shall be the sole responsibility of NEWCO. No provision of this Section 7.1 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee or current or former director or consultant of Optiant in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) or any other matter.

(g) General Employee Provisions.

(i) Optiant and NEWCO shall give any notices required by Laws and take whatever other actions with respect to the plans, programs and policies described in this Section 7.1 as may be necessary to carry out the arrangements described in this Section 7.1.

(ii) Optiant and NEWCO shall provide each other with such plan documents and summary plan descriptions, employee data or other information as may be reasonably required to carry out the arrangements described in this Section 7.1.

(iii) If any of the arrangements described in this Section 7.1 are determined by the IRS or other Governmental or Regulatory Authority to be prohibited by Law, Optiant and NEWCO shall modify such arrangements to as closely as possible reflect their expressed intent and retain the allocation of economic benefits and burdens to the parties contemplated herein in a manner that is not prohibited by Law.

(iv) Optiant shall provide NEWCO with completed I-9 forms and attachments with respect to all Hired Active Employees.

(v) NEWCO shall have no responsibility, Liability or obligation, whether to Active Employees, former employees, their beneficiaries or to any other Person, with respect to any Employee Benefit Plans, practices, programs or arrangements (including the establishment, operation or termination thereof and the notification and provision of COBRA coverage extension) maintained by Optiant.

7.2. Payment of All Taxes Resulting from Sale of Assets by Optiant. Optiant shall pay in a timely manner all Taxes resulting from, or payable in connection with, the sale of the Assets pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of the Person on whom such Taxes are imposed by Laws.

7.3. Payment of Other Retained Liabilities. In addition to payment of Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2, Optiant shall pay, or make adequate provision for the payment of, in full all of the Retained Liabilities and other Liabilities of Optiant under this Agreement. If any such Liabilities are not so paid or provided for, and if NEWCO reasonably determines that failure to make any payments will impair NEWCO’s use or enjoyment of the Assets or conduct of the business previously conducted by Optiant with the Assets, NEWCO may, at any time after the Closing Date, elect to make all such payments directly (but shall have no obligation to do so) and, at NEWCO’s option, be reimbursed by Optiant or set off and deduct the full amount of all such payments from any amounts owed to Optiant.

7.4. Restrictions on Optiant Dissolution and Distributions. Optiant shall neither dissolve, nor make any distribution of the proceeds received pursuant to this Agreement, until both of the following have been completed: (i) payment of the amount of any Final Working Capital Adjustment contemplated by Sections 2.7 and 2.8 of this Agreement and (ii) Optiant’s payment, or adequate provision for the payment, of all of its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3.

7.5. Removing Excluded Assets. Promptly following the Closing Date, Optiant shall remove all Excluded Assets from all facilities and other real property to be occupied by NEWCO. Such removal shall be done in such manner as to avoid any damage to the facilities and other properties to be occupied by NEWCO and any disruption of the business operations to be conducted by NEWCO after the Closing. Any damage to the Assets or to the facilities resulting from such removal shall be paid by Optiant. Should Optiant fail to remove the Excluded Assets as required by this Section, NEWCO shall have the right, but not the obligation, to:

(i) remove the Excluded Assets at Optiant’s sole cost and expense;

(ii) store the Excluded Assets and to charge Optiant all storage costs associated therewith;

(iii) treat the Excluded Assets as unclaimed and to proceed to dispose of the same under the Laws governing unclaimed property; or

(iv) exercise any other right or remedy conferred by this Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity.

Optiant shall promptly reimburse NEWCO for all costs and expenses incurred by NEWCO in connection with any Excluded Assets not removed by Optiant promptly following the Closing Date.

7.6. Reports and Tax Returns. Optiant shall timely file all reports and Tax Returns required by Laws relating to the business of Optiant as conducted using the Assets, to and including the Closing Date.

7.7. Assistance in Proceedings. Each of Optiant and NEWCO will cooperate with the other and its counsel in the contest or defense of, and make available its personnel and provide any testimony and access to its books and records in connection with, any Proceeding involving or relating to (i) any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) any action, activity, circumstance, condition, conduct, event, fact, failure to act, incident, occurrence, plan, practice, situation, status or transaction on or before the Closing Date involving Optiant or its business or any Shareholder.

7.8. Customer and Other Business Relationships. After the Closing, Optiant will cooperate with NEWCO in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of NEWCO those business relationships of Optiant existing prior to the Closing and relating to the business to be operated by NEWCO after the Closing, including relationships with lessors, employees, regulatory authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others, and Optiant will satisfy the Retained Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. Optiant will refer to NEWCO all inquiries relating to such business. Neither Optiant nor any of its officers, employees, agents or shareholders shall take any action that would tend to diminish the value of the Assets after the Closing or that would interfere with the business of NEWCO to be engaged in after the Closing, including disparaging the name or business of NEWCO.

7.9. Retention of and Access to Records. After the Closing Date, NEWCO shall retain for a period consistent with NEWCO’s record-retention policies and practices those records of Optiant delivered to NEWCO. NEWCO also shall provide Optiant and the Shareholders reasonable access thereto, during normal business hours and on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, to enable them to prepare financial statements or Tax Returns or deal with tax audits. After the Closing Date, Optiant shall provide NEWCO reasonable access to records that are Excluded Assets, during normal business hours and on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, for any reasonable business purpose specified by NEWCO in such notice.

7.10. Further Assurances. The Parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their obligations under this Agreement, and shall (i) furnish upon request to each other such further information; (ii) execute and deliver to each other such other documents; and (iii) do such other acts and things, all as the other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.11. Maintenance. For the balance of any term for which Optiant agreed to provide maintenance services to any Person listed on Schedule 3.18(c), NEWCO will provide such Person maintenance services; provided, however, that as used in this Section 7.11, the term “maintenance services” shall be limited to: (i) telephone hotline support provided during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST, (ii) access to periodic upgrades of new versions of or enhancements to Optiant’s Software licensed by the maintenance customers as they become available, and (iii) access to NEWCO’s customer support web site to retrieve new releases of

Optiant’s Software already licensed by such maintenance customer and to send and receive messages from NEWCO electronically concerning Optiant’s Software. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any obligation on the part of NEWCO to provide any other services to any Person, except as expressly set forth in any Optiant Contract expressly assumed by NEWCO hereunder.

7.12. Name Change. On or before the Business Day following the Closing Date, Optiant shall (i) amend its certificate of incorporation and take all other actions necessary to change its name to one sufficiently dissimilar to Optiant’s current name, in NEWCO’s judgment, to avoid confusion and (ii) take all actions reasonably requested by NEWCO to enable NEWCO to change its name to Optiant’s present name.

8. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION.

8.1. Survival of Representations.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 8.1(b) of this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule, Exhibit, or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the purchase and sale of the Assets pursuant to this Agreement for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.

(b) The representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1 (Authority and Enforceability), 3.29 (Brokers’ or Finders’ Fees), 4.1 (Existence and Good Standing of NEWCO; Power and Authority), 4.3 (Brokers’ or Finders’ Fees), 5.1 (Power and Authority), and 5.2 (Brokers’ or Finders’ Fees), and shall survive indefinitely. The representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.14 (Taxes), 3.20 (Employee Benefit Plans) and 3.21 (Environmental Laws and Regulations) shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period (after giving effect to any waivers and extensions thereof).

(c) Any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 8.1 (a) or 8.1(b), and the indemnity with respect thereto, shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to Section 8.1 (a) or 8.1(b) if notice of a Certificate (as defined below) setting forth the inaccuracy or breach, or potential inaccuracy or breach, thereof giving rise to such right or alleged right of indemnity shall have been given pursuant to Section 8.3(a) to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time, but shall only survive for purposes of the resolution of the matter covered by such Certificate.

8.2. Indemnification.

(a) Optiant and the Shareholders, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold NEWCO and its Related Persons and their stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “NEWCO Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, obligations, claims of any kind, interest or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), suffered, incurred, or paid, directly or indirectly, through application of NEWCO’s assets or otherwise, as a result of, in connection with or arising out of:

(i) the failure of any representation or warranty made by Optiant or any Shareholder in this Agreement (whether or not contained in Section 3 or 5) or in any Schedule, Exhibit or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date;

(ii) any breach by Optiant or any Shareholder of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any other certificate, document, writing, or instrument delivered by Optiant or any Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement;

(iii) any Retained Liability; or

(iv) any noncompliance with any bulk sales laws or fraudulent transfer law in respect of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) NEWCO agrees to indemnify and hold Optiant and its Related Persons and their shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (other than Optiant and its Subsidiaries) (each an “Optiant Indemnitee”) harmless from and against Losses suffered, incurred or paid, directly or indirectly, as a result of, in connection with or arising out of (i) the failure of any representation or warranty made by NEWCO in this Agreement (whether or not contained in Section 4) or in any Schedule, Exhibit or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, and (ii) any breach by NEWCO of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein.

(c) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the time periods set forth in Section 8.1, except for claims for indemnification asserted prior to the end of such periods, which claims shall survive until final resolution thereof. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(ii) through (iv) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for an indefinite period.

8.3. Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Within a reasonable period of time after the incurrence of any Losses by any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof (an “Indemnified Party”), including any claim by a third party described in Section 8.4 that might give rise to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) a certificate (the “Certificate”) which shall:

(i) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur Liability for Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated Liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled under this Agreement.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Certificate, deliver to the Indemnified Party a notice to such effect and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, within the thirty (30)-day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such objection, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party shall have so objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall succeed in reaching agreement on its rights with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party be unable to agree as to any particular item or amount, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction. The Party that receives a final judgment in such dispute shall be indemnified and held harmless for all reasonable attorney’s and consultant’s fees or expenses by the other Party.

(c) “Agreed Claims” are: (i) claims for Losses specified in any Certificate to which an Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within twenty (20) days of receipt of such Certificate, (ii) claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 8.3(b), (iii) claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of judicial determination as described in Section 8.3(b), and (iv) claims for Losses the validity and amount of which shall have been the subject of a final judicial determination, or shall have been settled with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, as described in Section 8.4. Within fifteen (15) days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Agreed Claim by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party in a notice to the Indemnifying Party not less than two (2) Business Days prior to such payment.

8.4. Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a claim by a third party is made against any Indemnified Party, and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Section 8, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claims; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense thereof and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, however, that:

(i) it is reasonably anticipated by the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party, and

(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly be entitled to assume the defense of such action only to the extent (a) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its indemnity obligation and assumes and holds such Indemnified Party harmless from and against any Losses resulting therefrom (subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8) and (b) the ad damnum is less than or equal to the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is liable under this Section 8; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if:

(A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation;

(B) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party;

(C) the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party;

(D) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be materially detrimental to or injure materially the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects; or

(E) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim.

Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party unless:

(x)

the Indemnifying Party shall have failed, within a reasonable time after having been notified by the Indemnified Party of the existence of such claim as provided in the preceding sentence, to assume the defense of such claim,

(y)

the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, or

(z)

the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or available to the Indemnifying Party the assertion of which would be adverse to the interests of the Indemnified Party.

So long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim; provided, however, that in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party for such claim unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented to such payment or settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity under this Agreement that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle, or compromise the claim, but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement that is not entirely indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8 and does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or consent to entry of any judgment. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any claim, including making available records relating to such claim and furnishing, without expense to the Indemnifying Party or its counsel, such employees of the Indemnified Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of any such claim or for testimony as witnesses in any Proceeding relating to such claim.

8.5. Recoveries. The amount of Losses recoverable by any Indemnified Party in connection with an indemnity claim pursuant to this Section 8 shall be reduced by (or, if such Losses have already been paid, refunded to the extent of) any proceeds received by such Indemnified Party from insurance carrier with respect to the Losses to which such indemnity claim relates.

8.6. Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) for claims for indemnification asserted in accordance with Section 8.3 on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the aggregate liability of the Optiant Indemnitors under this Section 8 shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price, and (ii) for any other claims for indemnification asserted under this Section 8, the aggregate liability of the Optiant Indemnitors under this Section 8 shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price; provided that (x) the aggregate liability of the Optiant Indemnitors under this Section 8 shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price regardless of when claims for indemnification are asserted, and (y) any liability of the Optiant Indemnitors under this Section 8 arising from claims asserted in accordance with Section 8.3 on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be taken into account in determining the 15% maximum liability limitation for claims asserted after the

first anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Optiant Indemnitors shall be liable for Losses under this Section 8 only if Losses under Section 8 exceed $35,000, and if such Losses exceed that amount then the Optiant Indemnitors shall be liable for the entire amount of such Losses, including the initial $35,000 of such Losses; provided that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply to a claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) relating to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 (Authority and Enforceability).

(b) Except with respect to claims based on fraud, after the Closing, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 8 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

9.1. Expenses. The Parties shall pay all of their own expenses relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the fees and expenses of their counsel and financial advisers.

9.2. Governing Law. The interpretation and construction of this Agreement, and all matters relating hereto, shall be governed, enforced, and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Georgia without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

9.3. Jurisdiction.

Each of the Parties agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s address set forth below shall be effective service of process for any Proceeding with respect to any matters for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 9.3. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction and appointments of agents to receive service of process shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Georgia for any purpose except as provided above and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the respective Parties. The prevailing Party or Parties in any such litigation shall be entitled to receive from the losing Party or Parties all costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by the prevailing Party or Parties.

In the event any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by all Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

9.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION AS BETWEEN ANY OF THE PARTIES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No Party shall raise (a) the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or (b) the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.
