First Partial Hosted Revenue Payment:

$350M (Hosted Revenue Target)

- $100M

$250M

$200M (actual Hosted Solution Revenue)

 - $100M   =

 $100M    ÷   $250M    =    40%

 X $2M (Hosted Revenue Earn-Out Amount   =

   $800,000

Second Partial Hosted Revenue Payment:

$350M (Hosted Revenue Target)

- $100M

$250M

$300M (actual Hosted Solution Revenue)

 - $100M  =

$200M  ÷   $250M    =    80%

X $2M (Hosted Revenue Earn-Out Amount)   =

    $1,600,000

- $800,000 (First Partial Hosted Revenue Payment)     

   =

$800,000

(iii)          The Non-Hosted Revenue Earn-Out Amount shall be paid upon the achievement of Non-Hosted Revenue in any period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or prior to December 31, 2014 of at least $200,000,000 (the “Non-Hosted Revenue Target”).  In the event that the Non-Hosted Revenue Target is not achieved for any consecutive four-quarter period ending on or before December 31, 2012, (A) a partial payment (the “First Partial Non-Hosted Revenue Payment”) of the Non-Hosted Revenue Earn-Out Amount shall be paid to Sellers following delivery of the Earn-Out Statements for the Measurement Period ending December 31, 2012, the amount of such First Partial Non-Hosted Revenue Payment to be determined by multiplying (i) the percentage of the Non-Hosted Revenue Target actually achieved by the Buyer for the four-quarter period ended December 31, 2012, by (ii) $1,000,000, and (B) a second partial payment (the “Second Partial Non-Hosted Revenue Payment”) of the Non-Hosted Revenue Earn-Out Amount shall be paid to Sellers following delivery of the Earn-Out Statements for the Measurement Period ending December 31, 2014, the amount of such Second Partial Non-Hosted Revenue Earn-Out Payment to be determined by multiplying (i) the percentage of

5

the Non-Hosted Revenue Target actually achieved by the Buyer for the four-quarter period ended December 31, 2014, by (ii) $1,000,000, and then subtracting from the product thereof the First Partial Non-Hosted Revenue Payment; provided however, that for purposes of determining the percentages of the Non-Hosted Revenue Target actually achieved by the Buyer in (A) and (B) above, the Non-Hosted Revenue and the Non-Hosted Revenue Target shall each by reduced by $100,000,000 and the Non-Hosted Revenue shall be increased by the amount, if any, that the Hosted Solution Revenue exceeds the Hosted Solution Revenue Target, and provided further, that in no event shall the aggregate of the First Partial Non-Hosted Revenue Payment and the Second Partial Non- Hosted Revenue Payment exceed $1,000,000.

(iv)          Any Earn-Out Amounts to be paid to Sellers pursuant to Sections 1.4(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be payable within fifteen (15) days following delivery of the Earn-Out Statements, or resolution of any dispute relating to the calculation of such Earn-Out Amounts as set forth in Section 1.4(b)(ii) above; provided, however, that any Earn-Out Amount payable to Sellers hereunder shall be subject to holdback against any obligations or amounts owed to Buyer by Sellers, or either one of them, pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 6.4 or Article XI hereof.

1.5        Dispute Resolution.  In the event of any dispute between Buyer and Sellers relating to the calculation of the Earn-Out Statements, Buyer and Sellers shall submit the dispute to the Selected Accounting Firm for review.  Buyer and Sellers shall make available to the Selected Accounting Firm all work papers and all other information and material in their possession relating to the matters that are the subject of the dispute.  The Selected Accounting Firm shall be instructed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver its determination as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than thirty (30) days) after such submission of the dispute to the Selected Accounting Firm.  The Selected Accounting Firm shall act as experts and not arbiters and shall determine only those items that are the subject of the dispute, with such determination being made in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement and the definitions to be used herein.  The parties hereto expressly agree that the determination of the Selected Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties (absent fraud or manifest bad faith by the Selected Accounting Firm).  The costs, expenses and fees of the Selected Accounting Firm shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to such party bears to the amount actually contested by such party.

1.6        Withholding.            Buyer shall be entitled to deduct, withhold, and pay over to the applicable Governmental Authority from any and all payments made under this Agreement such amounts required to be deducted and withheld under applicable laws.  To the extent such amounts are deducted, withheld, and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority for the account of Sellers, such paid over amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would have otherwise been paid.

(g)  If any Governmental Authority issues to the Company a written notice of deficiency, a notice of reassessment, a proposed adjustment, an assertion of claim or demand with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (including any portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date), Buyer or the Company shall notify the Sellers of its receipt of such communication from the Governmental Authority within ten (10) business days after receiving such notice of deficiency, reassessment, adjustment or assertion of claim or demand.  No failure or delay of Buyer or the Company in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure or delay shall effectively preclude the Sellers’ ability to defend against any liability or claim for Taxes that the Sellers are obligated to pay hereunder.  Except as provided below, the Sellers shall, at their expense, have the nonexclusive right to participate in any examination, investigation, audit or other proceeding in respect of any Tax Return or Taxes of the Company (a “Tax Contest”) where such Tax Contest relates to taxable periods or partial taxable periods of the Company ending on or before the Closing Date or could reasonably be expected to give rise to a liability of any Seller for Taxes

24

under this Agreement or otherwise.  Buyer and the Company will not be obligated to settle or resolve any Tax Contest related to any Tax Return or Taxes for such a period, which, if so settled or resolved, could have an adverse effect on the Company or Buyer for periods after the Closing Date, unless the Sellers agree in writing with Buyer and the Company, in terms reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the Company, to indemnify Buyer and the Company from any cost, damage, loss or expense arising from such settlement or resolution.

(h)  If there is an adjustment to any Tax Return for the Company which creates a deficiency in any Taxes for which the Sellers are liable under the provisions of Section 6.4(a) hereof, Sellers shall pay to Buyer the amount of such deficiency in Taxes.  No liability of the Sellers under this Section 6.4(h) shall be payable until the occurrence of any action by any Tax authority that is final or, if not final, is acquiesced in by the Sellers during the course of any audit or any proceeding relating to any Tax Return or Taxes.  All payments required to be made by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.4(h) shall be made within ten (10) days of the occurrence of the event described in the immediately preceding sentence.

(i)   All federal, state, local, foreign and other transfer, sales, use or similar Taxes applicable to, imposed upon or arising out of the transfer of the Shares shall (or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement) be paid by the Sellers.

(j)   The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall not be governed by any limitations contained in Article XI and to the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 6.4 and Article XI, the provisions of this Section 6.4 shall control.

(k)  The Sellers shall provide Buyer with any information that Buyer requests to allow Buyer to comply with Code Section 6043A or any other information reporting requirements under the Code or other applicable law.

6.5     Microsoft Contracts.  The Sellers will use their best commercial efforts to facilitate communications with Microsoft as necessary or advisable to ensure the smooth transition of all such Microsoft Contracts to the Company following the Closing, and to assist Company and Buyer in renewing and extending the terms of the Microsoft Contracts and to enter into any new contracts desired to be entered into to replace the Microsoft Contracts.

6.6     Restrictive Covenants.

(a)     Reasonableness of Restrictions.  Each of the Sellers hereby acknowledges that Buyer has paid valuable consideration for the Shares and assets of the Company, and that the use by Sellers of such assets and proprietary information of the Company in a business or activity that competes with the Company or the Buyer in violation of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.6 would provide an unfair advantage over the Company and/or the Buyer.  Each of the Sellers agrees to comply with the terms of this Section 6.6 and each of the Sellers hereby acknowledges that all such restrictive covenants contained herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the business interests of the Buyer.

25

(b)   Non-Compete.  Each of the Sellers agrees, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on three-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), he or she will not directly or indirectly serve as an officer, director, stockholder, employee, partner, proprietor, investor, joint venturer, associate, representative or consultant of any other person, corporation, firm, partnership or other entity whatsoever known by him or her to compete directly with the Company, anywhere in the world, in any line of business engaged in by the Company during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that any Seller may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) one percent (1%) of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(c)  Non-Solicitation.  Each of the Sellers agrees that, during the Restricted Period, such Seller shall not, without first obtaining the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly (a) induce or attempt to induce any employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company or any of its affiliates, or anyone who was employed by or provided services to the Company or any of its affiliates within the immediately preceding twenty-four (24) months, to terminate or negatively alter his or her relationship with the Company or such affiliate, (b) hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates, or any former employee who was employed by the Company or any of its affiliates during the immediately preceding twenty-four (24) months, (c) solicit or attempt to solicit the business of any client or customer of the Company or any of its affiliates (other than on behalf of the Company or such affiliate), or any client or customer who purchased products or services of or from the Company within the immediately preceding twenty-four (24) months, in any manner that is competitive with the Company or such affiliate, or (d) induce or attempt to induce any supplier, content provider, vendor, or consultant of the Company or any of its affiliates, or anyone who acted as a supplier, content provider, vendor, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or such affiliate within the immediately preceding twenty-four (24) months,  to terminate or negatively alter his, her or its relationship with the Company.

(d)  Proprietary Information.  Each of the Sellers hereby agrees to hold in strictest confidence, and not to disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any Proprietary Information of the Buyer or the Company, or any confidential or proprietary information received by the Company and subject to a duty of confidentiality on the Company’s part, except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with such Seller’s employment by the Company.  As used herein, “Proprietary Information” means any an all proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Buyer or the Company, including but not limited to (i) trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques; and (ii) information regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (iii) information regarding the skills and compensation of other

26

employees of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Proprietary Information” shall not include any information which is generally known in the trade or industry, or which is not gained as result of a breach of this Agreement.

(e)  Remedies.  Each of the Sellers agrees that upon the breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 6.6, Buyer shall have the right to seek and obtain, without posting any bond or security, all appropriate injunctive and other equitable remedies therefor, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available at law, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach would cause irreparable injury to Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy therefor.

6.7     Further Assurances.  Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.8     Intentionally Omitted.

6.9     Purchase Price Adjustment. Amounts paid to or on behalf of the Sellers or Buyer as Earn-Out Amounts pursuant to Section 1.4 above or as indemnification pursuant to Section 6.4 or Article XI below shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1      Indemnification by the Sellers.  The Sellers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify to the extent set forth herein Buyer and each of its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and their respective officers, shareholders, directors or employees against any loss, damage, or expense (including, but not limited, to reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Damages”), incurred or sustained by the Company, Buyer or any of their respective officers, shareholders, directors or employees as a result of (i) any breach of any term, provision, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement by the Sellers; (ii) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the Sellers in Article II of this Agreement; or (iii) any breach of any representation or warranty in any certificate or other document or instrument delivered by the Sellers or the Company in accordance with any provision of this Agreement.

11.3      Limitations.

(a)  No claim for Damages pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 above shall be made until the cumulative amount of such Damages equal or exceed an amount equal to $150,000 (the “Basket”), at which time a claim for Damages can be made for any and all amounts of Damages (and not just the amount in excess of the Basket); ); provided, however, that such Basket shall not apply to any Damages resulting from breaches of any Fundamental Representation (defined below) or any covenant set forth herein.

(b)  Sellers’ indemnification obligations shall be effective only until the dollar amount paid in respect of Damages under Section 11.1 above is equal to (i) during the period (the “Initial Period”) beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the date that is one (1) month following delivery to the Buyer of audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, which financial statements shall be delivered not later than April 30, 2011, an amount (the “Cap Amount”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of all amounts paid by Buyer in respect of Purchase Price during the Initial Period, and (ii) for a period of twelve (12) months following expiration of the Initial Period (the “Subsequent Period”), an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of all amounts paid by Buyer in respect of Purchase Price during the Initial

30

Period and the Subsequent Period; provided, however, that the Cap Amount payable by Sellers for Damages arising from a breach of (A) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1 (Corporate Organization), 2.2 (Capital Stock), 2.4 (Authorization), 2.11 (Title and Related Matters), or 2.14 (Tax Matters) or the covenants set forth in Section 6.4 (Taxes) (each, a “Fundamental Representations”); or (B) fraudulent actions or intentional misrepresentations with respect to this Agreement shall be equal to all amounts paid by Buyer in respect of Purchase Price.  The Initial Period and the Subsequent Period shall hereinafter be together referred to as the “Indemnity Period.”  No claims for Damages may be made by the Buyer after the expiration of the Indemnity Period, provided, however, that claims for Damages in respect of a breach of a Fundamental Representation may be brought at any time prior to thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.  For purposes of calculating the Cap Amount under this Section 11.3(b), amounts paid by Buyer shall include any amounts in respect of the Earn-Out Amounts described in Section 1.4 paid during the Initial Period, Subsequent Period, and/or the applicable statute of limitations, as applicable.

(c)  Any claim for Damages under Section 6.4 or this Article XI shall first be satisfied by, but shall not be limited to, reducing the amount of any unpaid Company Revenue Earn-Out Amount owed to Sellers.

(d)  The indemnification provisions of this Article XI set forth the sole and exclusive remedy for all claims under this Agreement other than any claim in respect of fraudulent actions or intentional misrepresentations with respect to this Agreement.

11.4      Procedure Claims for Damages.  If a party hereto (the “Claimant”) wishes to assert an indemnification claim against another party hereto, the Claimant shall deliver, prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Period, to such other party a written notice stating (a) the specific representation and warranty alleged to have been breached by such other party, (b) a detailed description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the alleged breach of such representation and warranty and (c) a detailed description of, and a reasonable estimate of the total amount of, the Damages actually incurred or expected to be incurred by the Claimant as a direct result of such alleged breach (a “Claim Notice”).  The indemnifying party will have 30 days from receipt of such Claim Notice to dispute the claim and will reasonably cooperate and assist the Claimant in determining the validity of the claim for indemnity.  If the indemnifying party does not give notice to the Claimant that they dispute such claim within 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Claim, the claim specified in such Claim Notice will be conclusively deemed Damages subject to indemnification hereunder.  In the event that the indemnifying party does give notice to the Claimant that the indemnifying party disputes such claim within 30 days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the parties shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve such dispute pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.8 hereof.

11.5      Tender of Defense of Third Party Claims for Damages.  Promptly upon receipt by either party (the “Indemnitee”) of a notice of a claim by a third party which may give rise to a claim for Damages against the other party (the “Indemnitor”), the Indemnitee shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnitor.  No failure or delay of the Indemnitee in the performance of the foregoing shall relieve, reduce or otherwise affect the Indemnitor’s obligations and liability to

31

indemnify the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have adversely affected the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against such claim for Damages.  If the Indemnitor gives to the Indemnitee an agreement in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee’s counsel, to defend a claim for Damages, the Indemnitor may, at its sole expense, undertake the defense against such claim and may contest or settle such claim on such terms, at such time and in such manner as the Indemnitor, in its sole discretion, shall elect and the Indemnitee shall execute such documents and take such steps as may be reasonably necessary in the opinion of counsel for the Indemnitor to enable the Indemnitor to conduct the defense of such claim for Damages.  If the Indemnitor fails or refuses to defend any claim for Damages, the Indemnitor may nevertheless, at its own expense, participate in the defense of such claim for Damages and in any and all settlement negotiations relating thereto.  In any and all events, the Indemnitor shall have such access to the records and files of the Indemnitee relating to any claim for Damages as may be reasonably necessary to effectively defend or participate in the defense thereof.

ARTICLE XII.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

12.1      Amendment and Modification.  Subject to applicable law, this Agreement may be amended, modified and supplemented only by written agreement of the Sellers and Buyer.

12.2      Waiver of Compliance; Consents.  Any failure of the Sellers on the one hand, or Buyer on the other hand, to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived in writing by Buyer or the Sellers, respectively, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.  Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of any party hereto, such consent shall be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 12.2.

12.4      Investigations; Survival of Warranties.  The respective representations and warranties of the Sellers and Buyer contained herein or in any certificates or other documents delivered prior to or at the Closing are true, accurate and correct and shall not be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any investigation made by any party hereto or by the occurrence of the Closing.  Each and every such representation and warranty shall survive for the Indemnity Period; provided, however, all representations and warranties that constitute Fundamental Representations shall survive until the date that is thirty (30) days following the expiration of the

32

applicable statute of limitations; and all claims for Damages based on intentional misrepresentations or fraudulent actions shall never expire.

33

12.6      Assignment.  This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by the Sellers without the prior written consent of Buyer.

12.7      Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law of the State of Delaware) as to all matters including, but not limited to, matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

12.8  Dispute Resolution.  Subject to Section 1.5 above, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than for injunctive relief), or the negotiation or breach thereof, shall be settled using the following procedure prior to either party pursuing other available remedies:

(a)  Negotiation.  A meeting shall be held promptly (in no event more than fourteen (14) days after either Buyer or Sellers has notified the other in writing that it considers that a dispute has arisen) between the parties, attended by individuals with decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute (the “Negotiation”).

(b)  Mediation.  If, within fifteen (15) days after such meeting, the parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will jointly appoint a mutually acceptable neutral person not affiliated with either of the parties (the “Neutral”), seeking assistance in such regard from the American Arbitration Association if they have been unable to agree upon such appointment within thirty (30) days from the initial meeting under Section 12.8(a).  The fees of the Neutral shall be shared equally by the parties, one half by Buyer and one half by Seller.  In consultation with the Neutral, the parties will select or devise a mediation procedure (“Mediation”) by which they will attempt to resolve the dispute, and a time and place for the Mediation to be held, with the neutral making the decision as to the procedure, and/or place and time (but not later than twenty (20) days after selection of the Neutral), if the parties have been unable to agree on any such matters within fifteen (15) days after initial consultation with the Neutral.  The parties agree to participate in good faith in the Mediation to its conclusion as designated by the Neutral, but in no event shall this obligation extend for more than sixty (60) days after selection of the Neutral, after which the parties shall be entitled to seek all remedies available to them hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise.

(c)  Arbitration.  If the parties are not successful in resolving the dispute through the Negotiation or the Mediation within 90 days after the initial notice pursuant to Section 12.8(a), any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than for injunctive relief), or the negotiation or breach thereof, shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, including, but not limited to, the Optional Rules for the Emergency Measures of Protection, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The prevailing party in any such

34

arbitration shall be entitled to collect from the non-prevailing party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.  The provisions of this Section 12.8 shall not be deemed to preclude any party hereto from seeking preliminary injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce its rights hereunder, or to prohibit any court from making preliminary findings of fact in connection with granting or denying such preliminary injunctive relief pending arbitration, or to preclude any party hereto from seeking permanent injunctive or other equitable relief after and in accordance with the decision of the arbitrators.  The arbitration shall take place in a location mutually agreed to by the parties hereto.

12.9      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and each counterpart with a hand-written signature, whether an original or an electronic date text (including facsimile, electronic data interchange and electronic mail) is considered an original and all counterparts constitute one and the same instrument.

12.10    Neutral Interpretation.  This Agreement constitutes the product of the negotiation of the parties hereto and the enforcement hereof shall be interpreted in a neutral manner, and not more strongly for or against any party based upon the source of the draftsmanship hereof.

12.11    Headings.  The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.13    Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, including without limitation the restrictions contained in Sections 6.6 above, this determination will not affect the enforceability of any other provision or restriction contained in this Agreement, and the provision or restriction in question will be modified so as to be rendered enforceable to the maximum extent as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine or indicate to be enforceable and in a manner consistent with the intent of the parties insofar as possible.

12.14    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, which term as used throughout includes the Exhibits hereto, embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.  There are no restrictions, promises, representations,

35

warranties, covenants or undertakings other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein.  This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
