1.3 The Closing.

(a) Time and Location. The Closing shall take place on the Closing Date at a time and place to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

(b) Actions at the Closing.

At the Closing:

(i) the Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Buyer the various certificates, instruments and documents required to be delivered under Section 5.1;

(ii) the Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Seller the various certificates, instruments and documents required to be delivered under Section 5.2;

(xiii) the Parties shall execute and deliver to each other a cross-receipt evidencing the transactions referred to above.

1.4 Post-Closing Adjustment. The Closing Payment shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing Date as follows:

(a) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer (i) the Closing Statement and (ii) an unaudited balance sheet of the Business as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet"). Each of the Closing Statement and the Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and on a consistent basis with the accounting principles, practices, procedures, policies and methods that were employed in the preparation of the Most Recent Balance Sheet.

(b) The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller, within 30 days after delivery by the Seller to the Buyer of the Closing Statement, either a notice indicating that the Buyer accepts the Closing Statement or a statement describing the Buyer’s objections to the Closing Statement, which statement of objections shall describe in detail the specific nature and amount of each objection and shall state in detail all bases upon which the Buyer believes the Closing Statement is not in conformity with the requirements set forth in Section 1.4(a). During such 30-day period Seller shall, and shall cause its accountants, to respond reasonably to any inquiries from Buyer related to the Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Statement. If the Buyer delivers to the Seller a notice accepting the Closing Statement, or the Buyer does not deliver a written objection to the Closing Statement within such 30-day period, then, effective as of either the date of delivery of such notice of acceptance or as of the close of business on such 30th day, the Closing Statement shall be deemed to be accepted by the Buyer.

(i) The Buyer and the Seller shall first use reasonable efforts to resolve such objections.

(ii) If the Buyer and the Seller are able to resolve such objections within 30 days after delivery to the Seller of such statement of objections, the Buyer and the Seller shall, within 30 days after delivery of such statement of objections, jointly prepare and sign a statement setting forth the Closing Working Capital Amount, which amount shall reflect the resolution of objections agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller.

(iii) If the Buyer and the Seller do not reach a resolution of all objections set forth on the Buyer’s statement of objections within 30 days after delivery of such statement of

objections, the Buyer and the Seller shall, within 30 days after the expiration of such 30-day period, (A) jointly prepare and sign a statement setting forth (1) those objections (if any)

-3-

that the Buyer and the Seller have resolved and the resolution of such objections and (2) the Unresolved Objections and (B) jointly engage the Neutral Accountant to resolve the Unresolved Objections.

(iv) The Buyer and the Seller shall jointly submit to the Neutral Accountant, within five (5) Business Days after the date of the engagement of the Neutral Accountant (as evidenced by the date of the engagement agreement), a copy of the Closing Statement, a copy of the statement of objections delivered by the Buyer to the Seller, and the joint statement referred to in Section 1.4(c)(iii)(A) above. Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall submit to the Neutral Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other Party on the same day), within 30 days after the date of the engagement of the Neutral Accountant, a memorandum (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth their respective positions on the Unresolved Objections. Each of the Buyer and the Seller may (but shall not be required to) submit to the Neutral Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other Party on the same day), within 45 days after the date of the engagement of the Neutral Accountant, a memorandum responding to the initial memorandum submitted to the Neutral Accountant by the other Party. Unless requested by the Neutral Accountant in writing, neither the Buyer nor the Seller may present any additional information or arguments to the Neutral Accountant, either orally or in writing.

(v) The Buyer and the Seller shall instruct the Neutral Accountant that (A) the scope of its review and authority shall be limited to resolving the Unresolved Objections, (B) in resolving the Unresolved Objections, it shall determine an appropriate value for each Closing Statement item that is the subject of an Unresolved Objection, which value shall be equal to one of, or between, the values proposed by the Seller in the Closing Statement and by the Buyer in its statement of objections, and (C) issue a ruling which sets forth the resolution of each Unresolved Objection and includes a statement setting forth the Closing Working Capital Amount, reflecting the Neutral Accountant’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections.

(vi) The resolution by the Neutral Accountant of the Unresolved Objections shall be conclusive and binding upon the Buyer and the Seller. The Buyer and the Seller agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.4(c) for resolving disputes with respect to the Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit any Party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Neutral Accountant.

(vii) The Buyer and the Seller shall share equally the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant for its services under this Section 1.4(c).

(d) If the Closing Working Capital Amount as shown on the Final Closing Statement is less than the Target Working Capital Amount, the Closing Payment shall be reduced by such deficiency and the Seller shall pay to the Buyer, by wire transfer or other delivery of immediately available funds, within three Business Days after the date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4, an amount equal to such deficiency. If the Closing Working Capital Amount as shown on the Final Closing Statement exceeds the Target Working Capital Amount, the Closing Payment shall be increased by such excess amount and the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to such excess (the “Adjustment Payment”). The Estimated Adjustment Payment shall be paid into an escrow

-4-

account at the Closing, and disbursement of the Adjustment Payment from such account shall be deferred until the Buyer has collected, from the receivables included in the Closing Working Capital Amount (the “Closing Receivables”), an amount equal to the amount of the Closing Receivables less the amount of the Adjustment Payment, at which time payments shall be promptly made to the Seller as and when such receivables are collected by the Buyer, and such payments shall not be subject to any right of setoff by the Buyer; provided that if to the extent such Closing Receivables are not collected within 120 days after the Closing Date, the funds remaining in the escrow shall be released to the Buyer and any Closing Receivables received by the Buyer thereafter shall be promptly remitted to the Seller. To the extent the Adjustment Payment exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Payment, once the entire Estimated Adjustment Payment has been disbursed from the escrow account, the Buyer shall pay the remaining amounts directly to the Seller as and when the corresponding receivables are collected by the Buyer as provided in the previous sentence. The Buyer shall provide weekly reports to the Seller with respect to the collection of the Closing Receivables, and the Seller shall have the right to audit the books and records of the Buyer with respect to such Closing Receivables, during normal business hours following reasonable notice. The Buyer shall be entitled to receive all interest earned on the escrow account, and the Seller shall bear all the costs and fees of the escrow agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Estimated Adjustment Payment does not predetermine, limit or constrain the Closing Working Capital Amount, the amount of which may result in the Adjustment Payment being greater than, equal to, or less than the Estimated Adjustment Payment.

1.5 Earn-Out Payments. As additional consideration for the Acquired Assets, the Seller may be entitled to certain Earn-Out Payments as set forth below, payable ninety (90) days after the end of each of Fiscal Year 2008, Fiscal Year 2009, and Fiscal Year 2010, as applicable, unless the Seller delivers a notice of objection under Section 1.5(g), in which case the applicable Earn-Out Payment shall be payable 30 days after resolution of the dispute under Section 1.5(h)(ii) or 1.5(h)(v), as applicable:

(a) If the 2008 Actual Revenues equal or exceed the 2008 Target, the 2008 Payment Amount shall be $1 million. If the 2008 Actual Revenues are less than 100% of the 2008 Target but equal to or greater than 50% of the 2008 Target, the 2008 Payment Amount shall be determined by multiplying $1 million by a fraction, the numerator of which is the 2008 Actual Revenues and the denominator of which is the 2008 Target. If the 2008 Actual Revenues are less than 50% of the 2008 Target, there shall be no 2008 Payment Amount.

(b) If the 2009 Actual Revenues equal or exceed the 2009 Target, the 2009 Payment Amount shall be $1 million. If the 2009 Actual Revenues are less than 100% of the 2009 Target but equal to or greater than 50% of the 2009 Target, the 2009 Payment Amount shall be determined by multiplying $1 million by a fraction, the numerator of which is the 2009 Actual Revenues and the denominator of which is the 2009 Target. If the 2009 Actual Revenues are less than 50% of the 2009 Target, there shall be no 2009 Payment Amount.

(c) If the 2010 Actual Revenues equal or exceed the 2010 Target, the 2010 Payment Amount shall be $1 million. If the 2010 Actual Revenues are less than 100% of the 2010 Target but equal to or greater than 50% of the 2010 Target, the 2010 Payment Amount shall be determined by multiplying $1 million by a fraction, the numerator of which is the 2010

-5-

Actual Revenues and the denominator of which is the 2010 Target. If the 2010 Actual Revenues are less than 50% of the 2010 Target, there shall be no 2010 Payment Amount.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.5(b) above, the Buyer shall receive a credit of $200,000 (the “Earn-Out Credit”) towards the Earn-Out Payment for Fiscal Year 2009 so that the Earn-Out Payment for Fiscal Year 2009 shall be calculated net of the Earn-Out Credit.

(e) The Earn-Out Payment for each such fiscal year shall be calculated on a separate basis, with no excess over a fiscal year’s target revenues being carried forward into subsequent fiscal year or carried back into a prior fiscal year.

(f) Within 60 days after the end of each such fiscal year, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a statement showing the amount of the 2008 Actual Revenues, the 2009 Actual Revenues, and the 2010 Actual Revenues, as applicable, with such supporting detail as the Seller may reasonably request (each, a “Revenue Statement”). The Revenue Statements shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP. Upon the written request of the Seller delivered to the Buyer not later than 30 days after delivery of a Revenue Statement to the Seller, the Buyer shall obtain a certification by independent accountants as to the accuracy of the Revenue Statement. Seller shall pay all costs and fees of such independent accountants associated with providing such certification.

(g) The Seller shall deliver to the Buyer, within 30 days after delivery by the Buyer to the Seller of the Revenue Statement, either a notice indicating that the Seller accepts the Revenue Statement or a statement describing the Seller’s objections to the Revenue Statement, which statement of objections shall describe in detail the specific nature and amount of each objection and shall state in detail all bases upon which the Seller believes the Revenue Statement is not in conformity with the requirements set forth in Section 1.5(f). If the Seller delivers to the Buyer a notice accepting the Revenue Statement, or the Seller does not deliver a written objection to the Revenue Statement within such 30-day period, then, effective as of either the date of delivery of such notice of acceptance or as of the close of business on such 30th day, the Revenue Statement shall be deemed to be accepted by the Seller.

(h) If the Seller objects to the Revenue Statement within the 30-day period provided in Section 1.5(g), such objections shall be resolved as follows:

(i) The Buyer and the Seller shall first use reasonable efforts to resolve such objections.

(ii) If the Buyer and the Seller are able to resolve such objections within 15 days after delivery to the Buyer of such statement of objections, they shall evidence such agreement in writing and the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the applicable Earn-Out Payment, if any, within 5 Business Days.

(iii) If the Buyer and the Seller do not reach a resolution of such objections within such 15-day period, the Buyer and the Seller shall, within 15 days after the expiration of such 15-day period, jointly engage the Neutral Accountant to resolve the matter.

-6-

(iv) The Buyer and the Seller shall jointly submit to the Neutral Accountant, within 5 Business Days after the date of the engagement of the Neutral Accountant (as evidenced by the date of the engagement agreement), a copy of the Revenue Statement and a copy of the statement of objections delivered by the Seller to the Buyer. Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall submit to the Neutral Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other Party on the same day), within 30 days after the date of the engagement of the Neutral Accountant, a memorandum (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth their respective positions on the matter. Each of the Buyer and the Seller may (but shall not be required to) submit to the Neutral Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other Party on the same day), within 45 days after the date of the engagement of the Neutral Accountant, a memorandum responding to the initial memorandum submitted to the Neutral Accountant by the other Party. Unless requested by the Neutral Accountant in writing, neither the Buyer nor the Seller may present any additional information or arguments to the Neutral Accountant, either orally or in writing.

(v) The Neutral Accountant shall then determine the applicable amount of revenues and issue a ruling in writing. The resolution by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Buyer and the Seller, and the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the amount of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, as determined by the Neutral Accountant within 5 Business Days of the issuance of such determination. The Buyer and the Seller agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.5 for resolving disputes with respect to the Revenue Statements shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit any Party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Neutral Accountant.

(vi) The Buyer and the Seller shall share equally the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant for its services under this Section 1.5(h).

1.6 Consents to Assignment. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any contract, lease, authorization, license or permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto would constitute a breach thereof. If Deferred Consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights thereunder so that the Buyer would not receive all such rights, then, in each such case, (a) the Deferred Item shall be withheld from sale pursuant to this Agreement without any reduction in the Closing Payment, (b) from and after the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to obtain such Deferred Consent as soon as practicable after the Closing, provided that the Seller shall not be required to make any payments or agree to any material undertakings in connection therewith, and (c) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, the Seller and the Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to provide to the Buyer the benefits under the Deferred Item to which such Deferred Consent relates (with the Buyer entitled to all the gains, revenues, income and benefits and responsible for all the losses, Taxes, liabilities and/or obligations thereunder). In particular, in the event that any such Deferred Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, then the Buyer and the Seller shall enter into such arrangements (including subleasing or subcontracting if permitted) to provide to the Parties the economic and operational equivalent of obtaining such Deferred Consent and assigning or transferring such contract, lease, authorization, license or permit, including enforcement for the benefit of the Buyer of all claims or rights arising thereunder, and the performance

by the Buyer of the

-7-

obligations thereunder on a prompt and punctual basis. This Section 1.6 shall not apply in the case of any Government Contract, Seller Real Estate Lease, any license agreement between the Seller and Open Scan Technologies, Inc., or any other agreement related to the Business Intellectual Property except for the agreements and licenses listed on Schedule 5.1(f)(ii) or unless otherwise designated in writing by the Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 1.6 shall require the Buyer to waive any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 5.1(f).

1.7 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when requested by any Party and at such Party’s expense, the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

1.8 Allocation. The Parties shall allocate the Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets for all purposes (including financial, accounting and Tax purposes) in accordance with the allocation schedule attached hereto as Exhibit E, and shall file, and shall cause their Affiliates to file, all Tax Returns and statements, forms and schedules in connection therewith in a manner consistent with such allocation schedule, and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax laws.

An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party.

The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised

of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding

-30-

or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(b) Procedure for Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice. Within 15 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), or (iii) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.12.

The covenants and agreements of the Parties shall survive indefinitely, without limitation, except those for which a period of performance is expressly provided for herein, which covenants and agreements shall survive until the lapse of the specified period. No such termination shall affect the rights of a Party in respect of any claim made by such Party in a writing received by another Party prior to the expiration of any such survival period. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.

6.5 Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following limitations shall apply to indemnification claims under this Agreement:

(i) the Seller shall be liable with respect to claims under Section 6.1(a) if the aggregate Adverse Consequences exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) at which point the Seller shall be liable for such Adverse Consequences from the first dollar of Adverse Consequences; provided that this Section 6.5(a)(i) shall not apply to breaches of the Critical

-31-

Representations or to any breach of any representation or warranty of which the Seller had knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation or warranty is made;

(ii) the aggregate liability of the Seller for all Adverse Consequences under Section 6.1(a) shall not exceed an amount equal to twenty five-percent (25%) of the Adjusted Closing Payment; provided that this Section 6.5(a)(ii) shall not apply to breaches of the Critical Representations;

(iii) the Buyer shall not be entitled to make any claim for indemnification with respect to any matter to the extent the Closing Payment has been adjusted to reflect such matter pursuant to Section 1.4; and

(iv) the amount of any Adverse Consequences for which a Party is entitled to indemnification as provided under this Article VI shall be calculated net of any accruals, reserves or provisions therefor reflected in the Final Closing Statement.

(b) For purposes of this Article VI, including for purposes of determining the amount of Adverse Consequences resulting therefrom, all qualifications and exceptions contained herein in any representation or warranty relating to materiality or Business Material Adverse Effect shall be disregarded.

(c) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible or liable for any Adverse Consequences or other amounts under this Article VI that are consequential, in the nature of lost profits, special or punitive or otherwise not actual damages. Each Party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) use reasonable commercial efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Adverse Consequences for which indemnification is provided to it under this Article VI.

(d) The amount of Adverse Consequences recoverable by an Indemnified Party under this Article VI with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by the amount of any payment received by such Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof), with respect to the Adverse Consequences to which such indemnity claim relates, from an insurance carrier. An Indemnified Party shall use reasonable commercial efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, all insurance claims to which it may be entitled in connection with any damages it incurs, and the Parties shall cooperate with each other in pursuing insurance claims with respect to any damages or any indemnification obligations with respect to damages. If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any insurance payment in connection with any claim for damages for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Indemnifying Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within 30 days of receiving such insurance payment, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this Article VI with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance payments received, over (B) the amount of damages with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Article VI.

(e) Except with respect to claims for equitable relief, including specific performance, made with respect to breaches of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VI and under Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified

-32-

Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to claims covered by Section 6.1, Section 6.2 or Article VII or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any Party, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated by this Agreement.

(f) No limitations on indemnification in this Agreement, whether with respect to the time for asserting a claim or as to any limits on the amount of Adverse Consequences, shall apply in the case of fraud.

6.6 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Adjusted Closing Payment; provided that such indemnification payments shall not affect the calculation of the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller under Section 6.5(a)(ii).

6.7 Right of Setoff. Upon notice to the Seller specifying the basis therefor, the Buyer may set off any amount to which it may be entitled under this Article VI against amounts otherwise payable under Sections 1.4 or 1.5 hereof. Neither the exercise nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff will constitute an election of remedies or limit the Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

6.8 Indemnity Not Limited to Third-Party Claims. The Parties agree and acknowledge that claims for indemnification under this Agreement are not limited to third-party claims but also include direct claims by the Parties against each other.
