ARTICLE 3
PURCHASE PRICE

3.1 Purchase Price.

(a) The aggregate consideration for the Acquired Assets (as it may be adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, the “Purchase Price”) will be, subject to any adjustments under Section 3.2, the sum of the following (without duplication):


	(i) $23.0 million,

	(ii) plus, the amount of the Estimated Rimage Sub Cash, in an amount of up to $800,000 (the “Maximum Rimage Sub Cash”),

	(iii) less, the amount (if any) by which the Estimated Net Book Value is less than the Target Net Book Value,

	(iv) plus, the amount (if any) by which the Estimated Net Book Value exceeds the Target Net Book Value, and

	(v) less, the amount of Estimated EBITDA.

(b) Seller will prepare and deliver to Buyer at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date an estimated unaudited balance sheet of the Business as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and a calculation of (i) the Estimated Rimage Sub Cash (ii) the Estimated Net Book Value, and (iii) Estimated EBITDA, in each case determined from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the Estimated Net Book Value, Estimated Rimage Sub Cash and Estimated EBITDA will be computed in accordance with Exhibit A and GAAP used to prepare the Latest Balance Sheet. Seller will make the books, records, and financial staff of Seller available to Buyer and its accountants and other Representatives at reasonable times prior to the Closing Date so that Buyer may review the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the Estimated Net Book Value, the Estimated Rimage Sub Cash and Estimated EBITDA. Seller shall consider any suggested changes to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the Estimated Net Book Value, the Estimated Rimage Sub Cash and Estimated EBITDA made by Buyer in delivering a revised Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, Estimated Net Book Value, Estimated Rimage Sub Cash and Estimated EBITDA prior to the Closing Date.


	(i) the Purchase Price less the Escrow Amount to Seller, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller; and

(ii) the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent to be held in the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

3.2 Purchase Price Adjustment. Following the Closing Date, the Purchase Price will be adjusted as set forth below:

(a) Closing Balance Sheet Preparation. Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller within 60 days after the Closing Date an unaudited balance sheet of the Business as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), an income statement for the Business for the period from June 1 to (but not including) the Closing Date (the “Closing Income Statement”) and a calculation of Net Book Value, EBITDA and Rimage Sub Cash determined from the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Income Statement (the “Closing Calculation”). The Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Income Statement, the Net Book Value, the Rimage Sub Cash and EBITDA will be computed in accordance with Exhibit A or Exhibit G, as applicable, and GAAP used to prepare the Latest Balance Sheet and Latest Income Statement. Buyer will make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Income Statement, and the books, records, and financial staff of Buyer, available to Seller and its accountants and other Representatives at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice at any time during (i) the review by Seller of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Income Statement and Closing Calculation, and (ii) the resolution by the Parties of any objections thereto. Seller will make available to Buyer such information about the Retained Business as is necessary to prepare the Closing Income Statement and Buyer’s calculation of EBITDA in accordance with Exhibit G and GAAP used to prepare the Latest Income Statement.

(b) Closing Calculation Review. Within 45 days following Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Income Statement to Seller, Seller will give Buyer a written notice stating either (i) Seller’s acceptance, without objection, of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Income Statement and the Closing Calculation (an “Acceptance Notice”) or (ii) Seller’s objections to the Closing Balance Sheet, Closing Income Statement or the Closing Calculation and Seller’s determination of Net Book Value, Rimage Sub Cash or EBITDA (an “Objection Notice”). Seller may give an Objection Notice only if (1) assuming all of Seller’s assertions therein were sustained, the Purchase Price would be higher than if Seller had not given such Objection Notice to Buyer and (2) such Objection Notice states Seller’s determination of Net Book Value, Rimage Sub Cash and EBITDA. If Seller gives Buyer an Acceptance Notice or does not give Buyer an Objection Notice within such 45 day period, then the Closing Balance Sheet, Closing Income Statement and the Closing Calculations will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties and the Closing Calculation will constitute the Final Net Book Value, Final Rimage Sub Cash and Final EBITDA.

(c) Audit Review. In the event that Buyer and Seller fail to resolve all of the issues set forth in the Objection Notice within 30 days after Buyer receives the Objection Notice (the “Agreement Period”), (i) Seller and Buyer will retain a firm of certified public accountants mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Auditors”) to make the determination of the Final Net Book Value, Final Rimage Sub Cash and Final EBITDA in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer and Seller each will provide the Independent Auditors with their respective determinations of the Net Book Value, Rimage Sub Cash and EBITDA.

The Independent Auditors will consider only those items and amounts in Buyer’s and Seller’s respective determinations of the Net Book Value, Rimage Sub Cash and EBITDA that are identified as being items and amounts to which Buyer and Seller have been unable to agree. In resolving any such disputed item or amount, the Independent Auditors may not assign a value to any item or amount that is higher than the highest value for such item or amount claimed by either party or lower than the lowest value for such item or amount claimed by either party. The Independent Auditors’ determination of the Net Book Value, Rimage Sub Cash and EBITDA will be based on the definition of “Net Book Value,” “Rimage Sub Cash” and “EBITDA” contained in this Agreement. The determination of the Final Net Book Value, Final Rimage Sub Cash and Final EBITDA by the Independent Auditors will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditors will be allocated to Buyer and/or Seller based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded bears to the amount actually contested, as determined by the Independent Auditors. By way of illustration, if Buyer claims that the Net Book Value, Rimage Sub Cash and EBITDA as of the Closing Date is $1,000,000, Seller claims that the Net Book Value, Rimage Sub Cash and EBITDA is $1,500,000, and the Independent Auditors determine that the Net Book Value, Rimage Sub Cash and EBITDA is $1,200,000, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Auditors will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300,000 ÷ 500,000) to Seller and 40% (i.e., 200,000 ÷ 500,000) to Buyer.

(d) Adjustment Payment.


	(i) Upon the determination of the Final Net Book Value, Final Rimage Sub Cash and Final EBITDA in accordance with this Section 3.2, the Purchase Price will be recalculated using the Final Net Book Value, the Final Rimage Sub Cash and Final EBITDA in lieu of the Estimated Net Book Value, Estimated Rimage Sub Cash and Estimated EBITDA used in the calculation of the Purchase Price payable at Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Final Rimage Sub Cash, it shall not exceed the Maximum Rimage Sub Cash.

	(ii) If the Purchase Price as recalculated under Section 3.2(d)(i) exceeds the Purchase Price paid at Closing, then Buyer will pay to Seller the amount by which the recalculated Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price paid at Closing by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to the accounts designated by Seller in writing to Buyer within ten days after the determination of the Final Net Book Value, Final Rimage Sub Cash and Final EBITDA.

	(iii) If the Purchase Price as recalculated under Section 3.2(d)(i) is less than the Purchase Price paid at Closing, then Seller will pay to Buyer the amount by which the recalculated Purchase Price is less than the Purchase Price paid at Closing after the determination of the Final Net Book Value, Final Rimage Sub Cash and Final EBITDA. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to the accounts designated by Buyer in writing to Seller within ten days after the determination of the Final Net Book Value, Final Rimage Sub Cash and Final EBITDA.

3.3 Allocation. The Purchase Price will be allocated among the Acquired Assets as set forth on Schedule 3.3 (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). After Closing, the Parties will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, make consistent use of such allocation, as adjusted to reflect any, if any, adjustments needed to remain consistent with Final Net Book Value, Final Rimage Sub Cash and Final EBITDA and the resulting adjustment to the Purchase Price The Parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation and no Party will take a position on a Tax Return or otherwise inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

5.1 Organization, Power and Authorization. Each of Parent and Buyer (a) is duly incorporated or organized (as the case may be), validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as the case may be) and (b) has the requisite power and authority necessary to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations pursuant to each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each of Parent’s and Buyer’s execution, delivery and performance of each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly authorized by Parent or Buyer, as applicable. Each of Parent and Buyer has the organizational power to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it. Each of Parent and Buyer is duly authorized to conduct business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

5.2 Binding Effect and Noncontravention.

(a) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and Buyer and constitutes, and each other Transaction Document to which Parent or Buyer is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of Buyer or Parent, as applicable, enforceable against Parent or Buyer, as applicable in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) applicable equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer and Parent of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not (i) violate any material Legal Requirement to which Buyer is subject or its charter or bylaws or equivalent organizational documents, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any material agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other material arrangement to which Buyer or Parent is a party or by which Buyer or Parent is bound or to which Buyer’s or Parent’s assets are subject, or (iii) require any authorization, consent, approval or notice by or to any Government Entity.

(c) No consent or approval by, notification to or filing with any Person is required in connection with Buyer’s or Parent’s execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or Buyer’s or Parent’s consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein.

5.3 Brokerage. Neither Parent nor Buyer has retained any broker, finder, investment banker or financial advisor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller will not have any obligation to pay any broker’s, finder’s, investment banker’s, financial

advisor’s or similar fee in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by reason of any action taken by or on behalf of Parent or Buyer.

5.4 Litigation. Neither Parent nor Buyer is (a) subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order or decree, or (b) party to or, to Parent’s or Buyer’s Knowledge, threatened to be made a party to, any proceeding, hearing, claim, legal action, suit, arbitration, governmental investigation or other legal or administrative proceeding, which would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Parent’s or Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise perform its obligations under any Transaction Document to which it is a party.

5.5 Availability of Funds.

(a) A true, complete and correct copy of the executed commitment letter from U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Bank”), dated as of April 23, 2014 (the “Bank Commitment Letter”), has been provided by Buyer to Seller. Pursuant to the Bank Commitment Letter and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the Bank has committed to provide financing sufficient for Buyer (the “Financing”), together with the cash on hand of Parent and Buyer, to consummate the transactions contemplated herein. The obligations to fund the commitments under the Bank Commitment Letter are not subject to any condition other than as set forth in the Bank Commitment Letter. There are no side letters or other agreements or arrangements related to the funding of the Financing other than as provided in the Bank Commitment Letter. The Bank Commitment Letter has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Parent and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and, as of the date hereof, the Bank Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and such subsidiary and, to Buyer’s Knowledge, the other parties thereto. No event has occurred that would constitute a breach or default (or with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) by Parent or its wholly owned subsidiary under the Bank Commitment Letter, or, to the Knowledge of Parent and Buyer, any other parties to the Bank Commitment Letter. All commitment and other fees required to be paid on or prior to the date hereof under the Bank Commitment Letter have been paid and, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to Parent’s, Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations hereunder (other than the Financing condition in Section 8.2(e)), neither Parent nor Buyer has any reason to believe that it will not be able to satisfy any term or condition of closing of the Financing that is required to be satisfied as a condition to the Financing or that the Financing will not be made available to Parent or Buyer on the Closing Date. As of the date hereof, the Bank Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified in any respect nor is any amendment or modification contemplated.

(b) Assuming the Financing is funded in accordance with the Bank Commitment Letter, the net proceeds of the Financing, together with the cash on hand of Parent and Buyer, will in the aggregate be sufficient for Parent and Buyer to (i) pay the Purchase Price, and (ii) pay any and all fees and expenses required to be paid by Parent and Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Financing.

5.6 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent or Buyer specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Seller Disclosure Documents or any other Proxy Statement will, on the date such documents are first published,

sent or given to Seller’s shareholders, or at any time at or prior to the date of Seller’s shareholder meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they shall be made, not misleading.

5.7 Independent Investigation. Parent, Buyer and/or their Representatives have inspected and conducted such reasonable independent review, investigation and analysis (financial and otherwise) of Seller, the Acquired Subsidiaries and the Business as desired by Parent and Buyer. The purchase of the Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Buyer and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Parent and Buyer are not done in reliance upon any representation or warranty by, or information from, Seller or any of its Affiliates, Employees or Representatives, whether oral or written, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose, except for the representations and warranties specifically and expressly set forth in Article 4 (in each case, as modified by the Disclosure Schedule), and each of Parent and Buyer acknowledges that Seller expressly disclaims any other representations and warranties.

ARTICLE 6

6.2 Access to Business. Except as may be prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, prior to the Closing, Seller shall, upon reasonable notice, permit Representatives of Buyer to have reasonable access during normal business hours and under reasonable circumstances to personnel, premises, properties, assets, books and records, contracts and documents pertaining to the Business, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities; provided that (a) access to such personnel, premises, properties, assets, books and records, contracts and documents is reasonably required by Buyer to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) Buyer and its Representatives shall not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of Seller, and (c) Buyer may not conduct or cause to be conducted any environmental or other testing at any of the Real Property sites, unless and until prior written authorization for such testing is obtained from Seller.

(a) Buyer and Parent each acknowledge that the information provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to information relating solely to the Business or otherwise included in the Acquired Assets; provided, however, that Buyer acknowledges that any and all other confidential information provided to it by Seller or its Representatives concerning Seller shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing.

(b) Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose to any third party or use any confidential or proprietary information related solely to the Business or Buyer and its Affiliates obtained by Seller solely in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not (i) apply to any information (A) generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 6.3(b) or any other Transaction Document to which Seller is party) or (B) independently developed by Seller or any of its Affiliates without reference to or use of the applicable confidential or proprietary information, or (ii) prohibit any disclosure (x) required by Legal Requirement so long as, to the extent legally permissible and feasible, Seller provides Buyer with reasonable prior written notice of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to contest such disclosure or (y) made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.4 Consents, Approvals and Filings. Seller, Buyer and Parent will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to make or obtain all filings or registrations with, notifications to, or authorizations, consents or approvals of, any third party, including those set forth in Schedule 6.4 (the “Required Consents”). In addition, each of Buyer, Parent and Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts, to cooperate fully with each other (i) to comply as promptly as practicable with all governmental requirements applicable to the Required Consents and (ii) to make or obtain as promptly as practicable all Required Consents. Seller will respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests received from any Government Entity for additional information or documentation related to any Required Consent. Further the Parties

agree to use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3, to be satisfied as soon as practicable and in good faith to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable.

6.5 Notice of Developments. During the period between the Effective Date and the Closing, each Party will give prompt written notice to the other of any material development affecting the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. During the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall update the Disclosure Schedule from time to time if (i) Seller becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) Seller becomes aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact or condition occurring after the date of this Agreement that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition. In order to so update the Disclosure Schedule, Seller shall be entitled to deliver to Buyer and Parent a supplement to the Disclosure Schedule specifying such changes and updates to the Disclosure Schedule. Any such update of the Disclosure Schedule shall not have any effect on the indemnification obligations of any Party under Article 7 or the closing conditions set forth in Article 8.

6.6 Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Shareholder Meeting.

(a) Seller shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”) to be sent to the shareholders of Seller in connection with the meeting of the shareholders of Seller to approve and adopt this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Seller Shareholder Meeting”) as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. Seller shall provide a draft of the Proxy Statement to Buyer and a reasonable period of time for Buyer to review such draft, and shall consider any comments to the Proxy Statement suggested by Buyer or its counsel. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement and shall provide to Seller any information regarding Buyer and Parent required for inclusion in the Proxy Statement as Seller may reasonably request. Seller shall thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement, taking into consideration any reasonable comments or requests made by Buyer with respect to such SEC comments, and to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed as promptly as practicable after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC (or following such time as the SEC may advise that it will not review and/or provide comments with respect to the Proxy Statement). Seller shall keep Buyer and Parent promptly informed of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, shall promptly provide Buyer and Parent with copies of all correspondence between Seller and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand, relating to the Proxy Statement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall consider any reasonable comments or requests made by Buyer with respect to such correspondence. In the event that Seller receives any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, Buyer and Parent shall provide to Seller upon a reasonable request made

by Seller, any information regarding Buyer and Parent that is required for inclusion in the response of Seller to such comments or such request.

(b) If, at any time prior to the Closing, any information relating to Seller, Buyer or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Seller, Buyer or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall as promptly as practicable notify the other Party and Seller shall file an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information with the SEC as promptly as practicable after each Party has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, disseminated to the shareholders of Seller as promptly as practicable thereafter.

(c) Seller shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, establish a record date for the Seller Shareholder Meeting. Seller shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC for mailing to Seller’s shareholders in accordance with Section 6.6(a), duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Seller Shareholder Meeting. Subject to Section 6.7, Seller’s Board of Directors shall recommend that Seller’s shareholders approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Seller Board Recommendation”), and Seller shall, unless there has been a Change of Seller Board Recommendation, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Required Shareholder Vote. Seller may, and shall at the request of Buyer and Parent, postpone or adjourn the Seller Shareholder Meeting if on a date for which the Seller Shareholder Meeting is scheduled, Seller has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares to obtain the Required Shareholder Vote, provided that the Seller Shareholder Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned to a date (i) that is more than 15 days after the date for which the Seller Shareholder Meeting was originally scheduled or (ii) which would require a new record date under Minnesota Legal Requirements.

6.7 No Solicitation of Transactions.

(a) Subject to Section 6.7(b), from and after the date hereof until the Closing or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9, Seller and the Acquired Subsidiaries shall not, and shall not authorize or permit their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or facilitate the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations, or furnish to any Person any information, or cooperate with any Person (whether or not a Person making an Acquisition Proposal), with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal; (iv) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal; or

(v) otherwise cooperate in any way with, assist or participate in, or knowingly encourage or facilitate (including through the furnishing of any nonpublic information regarding Seller, any Acquired Subsidiary or the Business in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or an inquiry or indication of interest that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal or providing access to the properties, books, records or management of Seller or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries) any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Seller and the Acquired Subsidiaries shall and shall direct their Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussion or negotiation with any Persons conducted prior to the date hereof by Seller, any Acquired Subsidiary or any of their Representatives with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information relating to Seller or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Seller shall also immediately terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives. Seller agrees, except in the case that Seller’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, to not release or permit the release during the period before the Closing Date of any Person from, or to waive or permit the waiver of any provision of, any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement to which Seller or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries is a party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.7(a), if, at any time following the date hereof and prior to Seller securing the Required Shareholder Vote, (i) Seller has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.7 by Seller, any Acquisition Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives, (ii) Seller’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (iii) at least 24 hours prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, Seller gives Buyer written notice of the identity of such Person and of Seller’s intention to furnish nonpublic information to, or enter into discussions with, such Person, then Seller may, subject to compliance with Section 6.7(c), (A) furnish information with respect to Seller to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives regarding the terms of such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that Seller (x) shall not, and shall not allow its Representatives to, disclose any non-public information to such Person without first entering into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person and (y) shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 48 hours) provide to Buyer any material information concerning Seller provided or made available to such other Person (or its Representatives) which was not previously provided or made available to Buyer or Parent. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence by any Representative of Seller or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries with the authorization or direction of Seller or the Acquired Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, shall be a breach of this Section 6.7 by Seller.

(c) Seller shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 48 hours) notify Buyer and Parent in writing if Seller receives any written Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information relating to Seller or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, including a copy of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest or request and the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest or request. Seller shall keep Buyer and Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status and details of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest or request (including any material modification or proposed modification thereto) and any discussions or negotiations concerning the terms and conditions thereof and provide to Buyer and Parent promptly (and in no event later than 48 hours after receipt or delivery thereof) copies of all correspondence and other written material (including draft agreements) relating to such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest or request exchanged between Seller, any Acquired Subsidiary or their Representatives, on the one hand, and the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest or request (or its Representatives), on the other hand.

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 6.7, neither Seller’s Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) approve, recommend, or declare advisable or publicly propose to approve, recommend, or declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or the abandonment, termination, delay or failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Buyer or Parent, or publicly propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Buyer or Parent, the Seller Board Recommendation (any action set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), a “Change of Seller Board Recommendation”). Neither Seller’s Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall allow Seller to, and Seller shall not, (A) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal (which, for the avoidance of doubt, would not include an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) or requiring Seller to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (B) take any other action requiring, causing, or reasonably expected to cause, Seller to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.7(d), at any time prior to obtaining the Required Shareholder Vote, Seller’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof may make a Change of Seller Board Recommendation if Seller’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that (i) Seller’s Board of Directors or committee thereof shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Change of Seller Board Recommendation (i) unless Seller and its Representatives have complied in all material respects with the terms of this Section 6.7, and (ii) (A) until after the third Business Day following Buyer’s and Parent’s receipt of written notice from Seller advising Buyer and Parent that Seller intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including in the case that such

action is based on a Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and all related proposed agreements or other documentation, it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new three-Business Day period, (B) during such three-Business Day period Seller shall, to the extent requested by Buyer and Parent, engage in good faith negotiations with Buyer and Parent regarding potential changes to the terms of this Agreement, and (C) Seller’s Board of Directors and any committee thereof shall in making a Change of Seller Board Recommendation after such three-Business Day period(s), take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Buyer in writing in response to any proposed Change of Seller Board Recommendation or otherwise.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.7 shall prohibit Seller or Seller’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof from (i) disclosing to the shareholders of Seller a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the shareholders of Seller if Seller’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with applicable Legal Requirements.

6.8 Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) Seller covenants and agrees that for a period beginning at Closing and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, partner or otherwise) own, manage, operate, control, participate in, or otherwise carry on, the business of manufacturing and distributing disc publishing solutions that label, archive, distribute and protect content on CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs.

(b) Seller covenants and agrees that for a period beginning at Closing and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire any Hired Employee unless Seller receives a release from Buyer of the restriction set forth in this Section 6.8(b) with respect to such Hired Employee.

(c) Seller covenants and agrees that for a period beginning at Closing and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit any end-user customer that has purchased a product or service of the Business in the past 12 months either directly from the Business or indirectly through any partner or reseller of the Business (an “Active Business Customer”); provided that notwithstanding such non-solicitation covenant, if during such five year period an Active Customer is displaced by any product of the Retained Business, Seller shall pay Buyer a one-time royalty fee set forth on Schedule 6.8(c). Seller or Buyer shall notify the other party in writing promptly after learning of such displacement. In addition, Seller covenants and agrees that for a period beginning at Closing and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit any prospective customer identified on Schedule 6.8(c) for the targeted use case identified with respect to such

customer on Schedule 6.8(c) (each a “Prospective Business Matter”); provided, however, if either Buyer or Seller is interested in pursuing any Prospective Business Matter with a Retained Business solution, a commercial arrangement will be negotiated with Buyer that would provide a release from this restriction with respect to such Prospective Business Matter. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Seller or its Affiliates from soliciting any customer, whether an Active Business Customer or related to a Prospective Business Matter, for an enterprise video content management solution.

(d) For a period from the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing, Seller will not solicit or enter into any commercial arrangements with the law enforcement partners set forth on Schedule 6.8(d) for such partners to resell, license or OEM Seller’s Retained Business products and technology. For avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not preclude Seller from selling such Seller Retained Business products and technology directly to such partners, not for resale, license or OEM to third parties.

(e) Neither Seller nor its Affiliates will disparage in any manner or by any means (whether written or oral, express or implied), or engage in any conduct which defames, disparages, libels or slanders, Buyer in respect to any aspect of its operation of the Business. Neither Buyer nor its Affiliates will disparage in any manner or by any means (whether written or oral, express or implied), or engage in any conduct which defames, disparages, libels or slanders, Seller in respect to any aspect of its operation of the Retained Business.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 6.8 shall not prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from (A) owning not in excess of 3% in the aggregate of any class of capital stock of any corporation if such stock is publicly traded and listed on any national or regional stock exchange or on the NASDAQ national market, (B) selling all or a portion of, or licensing the rights to, the Excluded Assets, including to a Person that, directly or indirectly (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, partner or otherwise) owns, manages, operates, controls, participates in, performs services for, sells materials to, or otherwise carries on, a business similar to or competitive with the Business, (C) any subsequent buyer or successor of Seller (whether through stock or equity) from continuing its business as in effect at the time such buyer or successor became a buyer or successor of Seller, (D) holding an ownership interest in the Retained Subsidiaries, (E) continuing the current and any future business operations of BriefCam, provided that Seller does not direct that BriefCam engages in any activities that would be prohibited by this Section 6.8 if they were conducted by Seller, and (F) continuing the operations of the Retained Business.

(g) If either Party violates any of its obligations under this Section 6.8, the other Party may proceed against it in law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. Both Parties acknowledge that a violation of this Section 6.8 may cause the other Party irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. Each Party therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 6.8, the other Party shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that it may have, to seek a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief against the breaching Party to prevent any violations of this Section 6.8. The prevailing party in any action commenced under this Section 6.8 shall also be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys’ fees and

court costs. It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this Section 6.8, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section 6.8 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency.

6.9 Preservation of and Access to Books and Records.

(a) Each of Buyer and Parent agrees that it shall preserve and keep the financial records held by it or its Affiliates relating to the Business for a period of seven years from the Closing Date and shall make such financial records and personnel available to Seller, at the sole expense of Seller, as may be reasonably required by Seller in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims, the litigation set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, proceedings or Tax audits against or governmental investigations of Seller or any of its Affiliates or in order to enable Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. Such availability shall include reasonable access upon reasonable advance notice to Buyer or Parent, subject to restrictions under applicable Legal Requirements, to the books and records transferred to Buyer or Parent to the extent necessary for the preparation of financial statements, regulatory filings or Tax Returns of Seller or its Affiliates in respect of periods ending on or prior to Closing, or in connection with any proceedings during such seven-year period. Seller shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to make copies of the books and records to which it is entitled to access pursuant to this Section 6.9.

(b) Seller agrees that it shall preserve and keep the financial records held by it or its Affiliates relating to the Business for a period of seven years from the Closing Date and shall make such financial records and personnel available to Buyer and Parent, at the sole expense of Buyer and Parent, as may be reasonably required by Buyer and Parent in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims, the litigation set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, proceedings or Tax audits against or governmental investigations of Buyer and Parent or any of their Affiliates or in order to enable Buyer and Parent to comply with their obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. Such availability shall include reasonable access upon reasonable advance notice to Seller, subject to restrictions under applicable Legal Requirements, to the books and records retained by Seller or any Retained Subsidiary to the extent necessary for the preparation of financial statements, regulatory filings or Tax Returns of Buyer, Parent or their respective Affiliates in respect of periods ending on or after Closing, or in connection with any proceedings during such seven-year period.

prepare and timely file all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed in respect of the Acquired Subsidiaries for all Tax periods ending on or after the Closing Date. Buyer and Parent shall provide Seller an opportunity to review and approve any Tax Return that includes Taxes for which Seller has an obligation to indemnify Buyer and Parent. Buyer and Parent Buyer and Parent agree to utilize the alternative procedure set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53 with respect to wage reporting.

(b) Neither Buyer, Parent nor any of their Affiliates shall (i) amend, refile, revoke, or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of any Acquired Subsidiary (including filing for a Tax refund) with respect to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date; (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such Tax year; (iii) file a ruling request with any taxing authority that relates to the Taxes or Tax Returns of any Acquired Subsidiary for to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date; (iv) initiate any voluntary disclosure with any taxing authority regarding any Tax or Tax Return of any Acquired Subsidiary for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, including filing Tax Returns for such period in jurisdictions that such Acquired Subsidiary does not currently file Tax Returns; or (v) take any action to extend the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any such Tax Return of any Acquired Subsidiary, in each such case, without the prior written consent of Seller.

(c) Seller, Parent and Buyer will provide each other with such assistance and non-privileged information relating to the Business and the Acquired Assets as may reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or the performance of any audit, examination or any other proceeding by any taxing authority relating to any Tax Return, whether conducted in a judicial or administrative forum, and will each retain and provide to the other Party all non-privileged records and other information which may be relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, examination or any other proceeding.

(d) Seller will exercise exclusive control over the handling, disposition and settlement of any inquiry, examination, or proceeding by a Government Entity (or that portion of any inquiry, examination or proceeding by a Government Entity) (at its sole expense) that could result in a determination with respect to Taxes due or payable by the Seller, or for which the Seller may be required to indemnify the Buyer and Parent. The Buyer or Parent will notify the Seller or its Affiliates in writing promptly upon learning of any such inquiry, examination or proceeding. Buyer, Parent and their Affiliates will cooperate with the Seller, as the Seller may reasonably request, in any such inquiry, examination or proceeding, and Buyer and Parent may participate in any such inquiry, examination or proceeding at their sole expense.

(e) If Buyer or Parent receives a refund with respect to Taxes for which Seller is wholly or partially responsible under Section 2.4, Section 6.10 or Section 7.2(c), Buyer and Parent will pay, within 30 days following the receipt of such Tax refund, the amount of such Tax refund attributable to the Seller. If Seller receives a refund with respect to Taxes for which Buyer or Parent is wholly or partially responsible under Section 2.3 or Section 6.10, Seller will pay, within 30 days following the receipt of such Tax refund, the amount of such Tax refund attributable to Buyer.

(f) Notwithstanding Section 6.10(d), no Party will agree to settle any liability for Taxes or compromise any claim with respect to Taxes relating to the Business or on behalf of an Acquired Subsidiary, which settlement or compromise may affect the liability for Taxes hereunder (or right to Tax benefit) of the other Parties, without the other Parties’ consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(g) Each of Seller and Buyer will pay 50% of all Taxes that are required to be paid in respect of any transfer, sales, use, recording, value-added or similar Taxes that may be imposed by reason of the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of the Acquired Assets (“Transfer Taxes”). Buyer and Parent will timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith with each other in connection with the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns, in obtaining all available exemptions from such Transfer Taxes and in timely providing each other with resale certificates and any other documents necessary to satisfy any such exemptions.

(h) Buyer may, in its sole discretion, make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the acquisition of the Acquired Subsidiaries and any other similar provision under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless, on a grossed up basis, for any increase in Taxes or reduction in Tax attributes of Seller arising from any such election.

6.11 Employment Matters.

(a) For a period of up to forty-five (45) days after the Closing, subject to extension by written consent of Buyer and Seller (the “Employee Transition Period”), Seller will use all reasonable efforts to retain the U. S. Employees and lease such employees to Buyer to conduct the Business as provided in an Employee Transition Services Agreement on terms reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller and entered into prior to Closing (the “Employee Transition Agreement”). The Employee Transition Agreement will provide that Buyer will reimburse Seller for all U.S. Employees’ wages, salary, commission, and other employee compensation and benefits (including any vacation taken to the extent of any accrual included in the Final Net Book Value but excluding any severance payments except as provided in Section 6.11(d)) incurred during the Employee Transition Period and for all other liabilities associated with such U.S. Employees during the Employee Transition Period of the type for which Buyer would be responsible had Buyer hired such U.S. Employees as of the Closing. The Employee Transition Agreement will also provide that Seller, during the Employee Transition Period, (i) will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the relationships with the U.S. Employees and (ii) not take any actions with respect to the U.S. Employees that if taken between the date hereof and the Closing Date would be prohibited by Section 6.1(b)(i) (but only as it incorporates Section 4.5(k) and Section 4.5(l) as it relates to Section 4.5(k) and only from the date of the Closing and not from the date of the Latest Balance Sheet). The performance by Seller of its obligations to Buyer under the Employee Transition Services Agreement shall not be prohibited by or violate Seller’s obligations under Sections 6.3 and 6.8. Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller agree to make such changes as may be required to the Mutual Transition Services Agreement to account for the Employee Transition Agreement during the Employee Transition Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer will use all reasonable efforts to put in place the

benefit plans required under this Section 6.11 to be in place at the end of the Employee Transition Period prior to the Closing.

(b) Immediately prior to the end of the Employee Transition Period, Seller will terminate the employment of each U.S. Employee. Five Business Days prior to the end of the Employee Transition Period, Seller will deliver to Buyer an updated Employee List setting forth the information required by Section 4.20(l) as of fifteen Business Days prior to the end of the Employee Transition Period, rather than as of March 31, 2014, with respect to each U.S. Employee. At least three Business Days before the end of the Employee Transition Period, Buyer will offer employment to each U.S. Employee identified on the updated Employee List, subject to Buyer’s standard hiring practices and conditions and upon such terms and conditions as determined by Buyer, with such employment to be effective immediately following the end of the Employee Transition Period, and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing (or, in the case of any such U.S. Employee on long-term disability or other leave of absence (other than vacation leave in the Ordinary Course of Business) as disclosed on the updated Employee List (each, an “Inactive U.S. Employee”), effective upon the date such Inactive Employee is able to return to active employment as determined by Buyer provided that such return occurs within six months following the end of the Employee Transition Period. U.S. Employees who accept offers of employment from Buyer and who complete all necessary documents in order to commence employment with Buyer (as applicable), and commence employment with Buyer immediately following the end of the Employee Transition Period (or, in the case of any Inactive Employee, immediately following the date each such Inactive Employee is able to return to active employment), and all Non-U.S. Employees of any Acquired Subsidiary as of the Closing Date, are referred to as the “Hired Employees.” Neither Seller nor any Acquired Subsidiary will state or represent to any Employees not identified on the Employee List (as updated in accordance with this Section 6.11(a)) that Buyer will offer continued employment to such Employees or will employ such Employees after the end of the Employee Transition Period. Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to assist Buyer with the transition of all Hired Employees to Buyer. Seller will not seek to induce any U.S. Employee to reject any offer of employment from Buyer.

(c) Effective as of the end of the Employee Transition Period, all U.S. Employees will cease participation in the Benefit Plans and all Hired Employees will begin participation in the employee benefit plans of Buyer other than Buyer’s employee stock ownership plan (each a “Buyer Employee Plan”), subject to the terms of the applicable Buyer Employee Plan. Effective as of the end of the Employee Transition Period, the Buyer will provide to the Hired Employees employee benefits which are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the employee benefits provided to Employees under the Seller Benefit Plans as of the end of the Employee Transition Period or to similarly situated employees of Buyer as of the end of the Employee Transition Period (other than with respect to the Buyer’s employee stock ownership plan). Buyer will give each Hired Employee credit for his or her years of service with Seller prior to the end of the Employee Transition Period for purposes of determining eligibility, vesting, and, for any paid time off program, for level of benefit under the employee benefit plans of Buyer in which such Hired Employee becomes eligible to participate after the end of the Employee Transition Period, to the extent such service would have been counted as service under the Buyer Employee Plan had such service been performed for Buyer. With respect to each Buyer Employee Plan that is a health, welfare or fringe benefit plan, (i) Buyer shall waive

all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Hired Employees (and their covered dependents), other than any such limitations that are in effect with respect to any Hired Employee (or his or her covered dependents) and that have not been satisfied under the corresponding health, welfare, or fringe benefit plan maintained by Seller immediately prior to the end of the Employee Transition Period; and (ii) Buyer shall provide each Hired Employee with credit for any deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket requirements paid by such Hired Employee for the then current plan year under the corresponding health, welfare or fringe benefit plan immediately prior to the end of the Employee Transition Period, to the extent timely provided such information. Each Hired Employee who receives an “eligible rollover distribution” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from a Seller Benefit Plan will be eligible to rollover such distribution, including any participant loan under a Seller Benefit Plan, into an account in the tax-qualified defined contribution plan which will be maintained by Buyer for the Hired Employees. For avoidance of doubt, there shall be no accrual included on the Closing Balance Sheet in respect to Seller’s 2012 Severance Plan.

(d) Except as included in the Assumed Liabilities, Seller will be responsible for all liabilities and obligations relating to or arising out of the employment, engagement, remuneration, or cessation of employment (including any severance payments due as the result of a termination of employment prior to or on the Closing Date) with Seller of any Employee (excluding any Employee employed by an Acquired Subsidiary) (and the dependents of such individuals) with respect to employment with Seller for all periods prior to and including the Closing Date. The Employee Transition Agreement will describe the liabilities and obligations of the Buyer and Seller with respect to the Employee Transition Period consistent with the terms of this Section 6.11, which will include Seller’s obligation to pay any severance payments due as a result of a termination of employment of a U.S. Employee during the Employee Transition Period unless such termination is at the direction of Buyer.

(e) Seller shall pay each Employee, including for all Hired Employees (other than Employees employed by an Acquired Subsidiary) in accordance with Legal Requirements and Seller’s past practices, all accrued, unpaid wages, salary, commission, bonuses, and other employee compensation and benefits related to employment with Seller for all periods through the Closing, excluding all amounts owed to the U.S. Employees for accrued and unused vacation or other paid leave (which amounts will be assumed by Buyer, but only to the extent such amounts are included in the Final Net Book Value). In addition, for each Employee (and his or her dependents), Seller will pay or provide for all other employee benefits maintained by Seller or any Acquired Subsidiary related to employment with Seller or any Acquired Subsidiary for all periods prior to the Closing Date and that are due and payable, all in accordance with Legal Requirements, and shall be responsible for complying with COBRA with respect to each Hired Employee to the extent required under COBRA. The Employee Transition Agreement will provide for the continuation of employee benefits by Seller for the U.S. Employees in the Ordinary Course of Business during the Employee Transition Period consistent with the terms of this Section 6.11, and the assumption by Buyer (without Purchase Price adjustment) of any accrued and unused vacation or other paid leave relating to the Employee Transition Period.

(f) Nothing expressed or referred to in this Section 6.11 or this Agreement confers any rights or remedies upon any Employee (including any Hired Employee).

(g) Prior to the end of the Employee Transition Period, Buyer shall deliver to Seller true and correct copies of the fully executed Severance Agreements.

6.12 Non-assignable Assets. If the assignment of any Acquired Asset requires the consent of any Person and such consent is not obtained at or prior to the Closing (a) for a period not to exceed 90 days following the Closing, Seller, Buyer and Parent will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the written consent of such other Person to the assignment, (b) this Agreement will not constitute an agreement to assign such Acquired Asset until such consent is obtained, and (c) at Buyer’s election, for a period not to exceed 90 days following the Closing, Seller will continue to maintain and/or perform any such Acquired Asset at the direction and for the risk and benefit of Buyer.

6.13 Qumu Name; Rimage Name. Promptly after the Closing, Buyer will take such action as is required to change the name of Qumu Europe to a name that does not include the word “Qumu” or any derivative thereof. Promptly after the Closing, Seller and any Retained Subsidiaries will cease to use the Rimage name or any derivative thereof for any purpose.

6.14 Financing.

(a) Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to do all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Bank Commitment Letter (including using its reasonable best efforts (i) to satisfy (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions on a timely basis to obtaining the Financing applicable to Parent or its wholly owned subsidiary set forth in the Bank Commitment Letter that are within its control; and (ii) to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Bank Commitment Letter relating to the Financing (or obtain the waiver thereof)). Parent shall give Seller prompt notice upon becoming aware of any breach of the Bank Commitment Letter that would reasonably be expected to prevent Parent from obtaining the Financing or would reasonably be expected to lead to termination of the Bank Commitment Letter. Parent shall keep Seller informed promptly and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and shall not permit any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, the Bank Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification or waiver can reasonably be expected to delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. If all conditions in the Bank Commitment Letter have been satisfied or, upon funding, will be satisfied, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Bank to fund on the Closing Date the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Provided that the representations in Section 5.5(b) shall be true and correct after giving effect to such amendment, Parent and Buyer may amend the Bank Commitment Letter; provided that such amendment would not (i) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise expand any conditions, to the receipt of the Financing, (ii) reasonably be expected to prevent, or materially delay or impair, the availability of the Financing or (iii) reasonably be expected to

adversely impact the ability of Parent and/or Buyer to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.14(a) and subject to amendments permitted by Section 6.14(b), Parent and Buyer shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Bank Commitment Letter until the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, (ii) satisfy all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent, Buyer and the wholly owned subsidiary of Parent in the Bank Commitment Letter at or prior to the Closing and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder, (iii) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Bank Commitment Letter and (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.14(a), Parent and Buyer shall give the Seller prompt written notice: (i) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Bank Commitment Letter or definitive document related to the Financing of which Parent, Buyer or their respective Affiliates becomes aware; (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any: (x) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Bank Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing or any provisions of the Bank Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing or (y) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Bank Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Financing or any definitive agreement with respect thereto); or (iii) the occurrence of an event or development that Parent or Buyer believes would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse impact on the ability of Parent or Buyer to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Bank Commitment Letter on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Bank Commitment Letter; provided, that in no event will Parent or Buyer be under any obligation to disclose any information that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege.

(d) If at any time prior to Closing Parent no longer believes in good faith that it will be able to obtain the Financing, Parent shall promptly notify Seller and shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange all of any such portion of the contemplated Financing (excluding any amounts that are contemplated to be replaced by Parent’s cash on hand) from alternative sources (all or such portion from alternate sources, the “Alternate Financing”) which shall provide for: (i) funds not less than the amount required for consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and sufficient to satisfy all of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) terms and conditions (other than with respect to amount) not less beneficial in the aggregate to Parent and its Affiliates than those set forth on Schedule 6.14(d). As used in this Agreement as the context may require, “Financing” shall also be deemed to include any Alternate Financing.

(e) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate in connection with the Financing, including to the extent requested by Parent or the Bank, permitting agents and lenders under the Bank Commitment Letter and their Representatives, during normal business hours, to inspect Business records and premises and consult with Business officers, Employees, counsel and agents with respect thereto, subject to customary

arrangements for confidentiality that are mutually acceptable to such agents, lenders and Seller and provided that such inspections and consultations do not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Business.

6.15 Reorganization. Parent and Buyer consent to the following prior to Closing: (a) Seller’s formation of Qumu Germany, (b) the transfer of Seller’s equity interest in Qumu Europe to Qumu Germany, (c) the transfer of any Excluded Assets owned by Qumu Europe to Qumu Germany and (d) Seller’s formation of Qumu Japan and the transfer of any Excluded Assets owned by Rimage Japan to Qumu Japan. Seller agrees to cause Qumu Germany to transfer Qumu Europe to Buyer upon the Closing of the transaction in this Agreement. Buyer will be provided a reasonable opportunity to review the agreements related to the reorganization set forth in this Section 6.15 and the form of transfer agreements for (b), (c) and (d) in the preceding sentence must be in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Seller agrees to be responsible for all costs and expenses arising out of the formation of Qumu Germany and Qumu Japan and the related transfers under this Section 6.15; provided, however, Seller will have no obligation to reimburse Buyer for any cost or expense arising out of the transfer of Qumu Europe to Buyer. If the assignment of any Excluded Asset to Qumu Germany or Qumu Japan requires the consent of any Person and such consent is not obtained at or prior to the Closing (a) for a period not to exceed 90 days following the Closing, Seller, Buyer and Parent will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the written consent of such other Person to the assignment, and (b) at Seller’s election, for a period not to exceed 90 days following the Closing, the entity transferring the Excluded Asset will continue to maintain and/or perform any such Excluded Asset at the direction and for the risk and benefit of Qumu Germany or Qumu Japan, as applicable. Seller may continue to use the intercompany accounts in the Ordinary Course of Business and, subject to the reasonable approval of Buyer and Parent, determine the resolution for the treatment and termination of intercompany accounts of Seller and the Retained Subsidiaries and the Acquired Subsidiaries prior to Closing; provided that the balances in all intercompany accounts shall be $0 as of immediately before the effective time of Closing. Buyer and Parent consent to the additional contribution of capital to the Acquired Subsidiaries in connection with the reorganization set forth in this Section 6.15 for intercompany balances owed by an Acquired Subsidiary to Seller or a Retained Subsidiary.

6.16 Permits. If Buyer has not obtained any of the Permits listed on Section 4.16 of the Disclosure Schedule before or on the Closing Date, (a) Seller, Buyer and Parent will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain each such Permit, and (b) Seller will enter into arrangements that are reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller so that Seller will continue to conduct the Business until Buyer obtains such Permit, at the direction and for the risk and benefit of Buyer.

6.17 Further Assurances. If after Closing any further action is necessary, proper or desirable to carry out any purpose of this Agreement, then each Party will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of further documents) as any other Party reasonably requests to carry out such purpose. The foregoing will be at the expense of such requesting Party, except to the extent such requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor or to the extent this Agreement otherwise allocates such expense to any other Party.

ARTICLE 7
SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of 18 months thereafter; provided, however, that the representation and warranty in Section 4.10(d) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of 12 months thereafter and the Fundamental Representations will survive indefinitely. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, for each claim for indemnification hereunder regarding a representation or warranty that is made before expiration of such representation or warranty, such claim and associated right to indemnification (including any right to pursue such indemnification, including via any Proceeding) will not terminate before final determination and satisfaction of such claim. Each covenant and agreement herein, and all associated rights to indemnification, will survive Closing and will continue in full force thereafter until all Liability hereunder relating thereto is barred by all applicable statutes of limitation, subject to any applicable limitation stated herein

7.2 Indemnification Obligations of Seller. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, Seller will indemnify Buyer and Parent and each of their Other Indemnified Persons from and against any Loss that Buyer and Parent incur as a result of or arising out of:

(b) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement;

(d) any Excluded Asset;

(g) any Transaction Expenses that are not paid at the Closing Date and not otherwise reflected in an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.1.

7.3 Indemnification Obligations of Buyer and Parent. Buyer and Parent will, jointly and severally, indemnify Seller and its Other Indemnified Person from and against any Loss that Seller or such Other Indemnified Person incurs as a result of or arising out of:

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer or Parent in this Agreement or any certificate delivered hereunder;

(b) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer or Parent in this Agreement;

(d) all Taxes with respect to the Business, the Acquired Assets or any Acquired Subsidiary for a Post-Closing Tax Period; and

(e) any increase in Taxes or reduction in Tax attributes of Seller resulting from an election described in Section 6.10(h), which shall be paid to Seller on a grossed-up basis.

7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Seller will have no obligation to indemnify Buyer, Parent and their Other Indemnified Persons, collectively, under Section 7.2(a) (except with respect to Fundamental Representations, with respect to which this Section 7.4(a) shall not apply) unless and until Buyer and Parent suffer an aggregate amount of Losses by reason of such matters in excess of $175,000 (the “Deductible”), and Buyer and Parent will be entitled to recover only those Losses that exceed such amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Buyer will have no obligation to indemnify Seller and its Other Indemnified Persons, collectively, under Section 7.3(a) (except with respect to Fundamental Representations, with respect to which this Section 7.4(b) shall not apply) unless and until Seller suffers an aggregate amount of Losses by reason of such matters in excess of the Deductible, and Seller will be entitled to recover only those Losses that exceed such amount.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and except for the Fundamental Representations (with respect to which this Section 7.4(c) shall not apply), the maximum aggregate obligation of Seller to indemnify Buyer, Parent and their Other Indemnified Persons under Section 7.2(a) will not exceed $2.3 million (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the maximum liability of Seller for any Losses claimed by Buyer, Parent and their respective Other Indemnified Persons, collectively, under this Agreement shall not exceed the Purchase Price received by Seller.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and except for the Fundamental Representations (with respect to which this Section 7.4(d) shall not apply), the maximum aggregate obligation of Buyer and Parent to indemnify Seller and its Other

Indemnified Persons under Section 7.3(a) will not exceed the Cap. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the maximum liability of Buyer and Parent for any Losses claimed by Seller and its Other Indemnified Persons, collectively, under this Agreement shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and except with respect to Seller’s failure to pay Taxes as required under Section 6.10(a) or (g), Buyer’s primary means of collecting on any Loss that is subject to indemnification by Seller hereunder shall be by receiving payment out of the Escrow Account (on the terms provided herein and the Escrow Agreement), and Buyer shall have no right of collection directly from Seller for any claims for Losses that aggregate to an amount less than the amount in the Escrow Account unless and until the Escrow Account has been exhausted. Thereafter, and with respect to claims in excess of the Escrow Account, Buyer and Parent may seek collection directly from Seller for Losses otherwise subject to indemnification hereunder.

(f) In calculating the amount of Losses suffered or incurred by a Party for which indemnification is sought under this Article 7 there will be deducted the amount of (i) any insurance proceeds or any other recovery from a third party actually paid to such Party as a result of or related to any such Loss, and (ii) any Tax benefit actually realized in or prior to the Taxable year in which the Loss arises or the indemnification payment is made. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds, recoveries or Tax benefits. If any such proceeds, recoveries or Tax benefits are received by the Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss after the Indemnifying Party has made a payment to the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party will promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such proceeds, recoveries or Tax benefits (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment). In addition, with respect to Buyer and Parent, the amount of any Loss for which indemnification is payable under this Article 7 will be net of all reserves provided for in the Final Net Book Value relating to such Loss.

(g) For purposes of this Article 7, the calculation of Losses with respect to any breach of representations and warranties, shall be determined without regard to any “material,” “in all material respects” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualification contained therein.

7.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims.

(i) Notice. If any third party notifies any Indemnified Party of any matter that may give rise to a claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must give the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification is sought written notice of such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) promptly after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice under this Section 7.5(a)(i) will not affect any rights to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure; provided, however, that any claim for


	indemnity under Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a) must be made by notice given within the applicable survival period specified in Section 7.1. Such notice must contain a reasonably detailed description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss.

	(ii) Control of Defense; Settlement. Except with respect to claims under Section 6.10(d) and in the absence of a Conflict of Interest, an Indemnifying Party, at its option, may assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim within 30 days of receiving a proper Indemnification Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party, and may appoint as lead counsel of such defense legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In the event an Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party (A) may participate in the defense of such claim and employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that such employment will be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, and (B) will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of all matters material to such defense and Third Party Claim at all stages thereof. “Conflict of Interest” means that the named parties to a Third Party Claim include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (other than defenses related solely to successor liability). If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof pursuant to this Section 7.5(a) or there is a Conflict of Interest, the Indemnified Party may assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim and may appoint as lead counsel of such defense legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party.

	(iii) Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be withheld unreasonably); except that the Indemnifying Party may enter into a settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party if the sole relief provided is monetary damages that will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Other Claims. Any Indemnified Party may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 by providing an Indemnification Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party (it being understood that any claim for indemnity related to a breach of a representation or warranty must be made by notice given within the applicable survival period specified in Section 7.1). Such notice must contain a reasonably detailed description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss.

7.6 Exclusive Remedy. Other than any claim for injunctive or other equitable relief, including under Section 7.7 or the Termination Fee under Article 9 and except with respect to claims for fraud, the indemnification obligations of the Parties set forth in this Article 7 are the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.7 Specific Performance. Each Party’s obligation under this Agreement is unique. If any Party should breach its covenants or agreements under this Agreement, the Parties each acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, any nonbreaching Party, in addition to any other available rights or remedies it may have under the terms of this Agreement, may sue in equity for specific performance and/or to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and each Party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.

7.8 Indemnification Adjusts Purchase Price. Each Party will, including retroactively, treat indemnification payments under this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes to the extent permitted under a Legal Requirement.

ARTICLE 8
