SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
     This SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into on February 14, 2007 by and among Omniture, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser"), each of those holders of issued share capital of Touch Clarity Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 04395864 (the "Company") set forth on the signature pages hereto (each such holder, as well as any other holder that becomes a party hereto by executing a Joinder Agreement in connection herewith, individually a "Shareholder" and collectively the "Shareholders"), the Warrantors (defined below), Alta Berkeley LLP and Yehoshua Ennis, collectively as the Shareholder Representative. The terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Appendix A to this Agreement.
RECITALS
     A. The Board of Directors of the Purchaser believes it to be in the best interests of the Purchaser and its stockholders that the Purchaser acquire all of the issued share capital of the Company such that the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (such transactions, together with the other transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement, the "Acquisition").
     B. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the Acquisition, pursuant to which all of the Shareholders will receive shares of the Purchaser's authorized common stock and/or, at the election of the Purchaser, cash, in exchange for all of the issued shares in the Company's share capital, is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.
     C. Each Shareholder wishes to sell and transfer to the Purchaser and the Purchaser has agreed to buy all of the issued shares of the share capital of the Company held by such Shareholder on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
     D. A portion of the consideration otherwise payable by the Purchaser in connection with the Acquisition shall be placed in escrow by the Purchaser as partial security for the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement.
     E. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of the Company have each duly adopted and approved and the Company has filed or will file immediately following the signing of this Agreement with the Registrar of Companies an amendment to the Company's Articles of Association, in the form provided for in the shareholder consent attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Articles Amendment") which provides, among other things, that subject to the Closing, if any Option Holders exercise any of their rights to acquire Shares pursuant to Company Options without first or simultaneously executing a Joinder Agreement, that such Option Holder will be obliged to sell the Shares arising from such exercise to the Purchaser as provided in the Articles Amendment.
     F. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Shareholders are entering into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and a Securities Compliance Certificate (the "Securities Compliance Certificate") the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
     G. The Shareholders, the Warrantors and the Purchaser agree to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Acquisition as set forth herein.

 


 
     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements, covenants, promises, representations and warranties set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMPANY SHARE CAPITAL
     1.1 Purchase and Sale.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Shareholders will sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to the Purchaser, with full title guarantee and free and clear of all Liens, that number of Shares identified across from such Shareholder's name on Exhibit D, which sets forth in the aggregate all of the issued share capital of the Company.
          (b) Each Shareholder agrees as follows:
               (i) that the Shares to be sold by such Shareholder shall be sold with all rights to dividends and other distributions whether accrued or declared prior to, at or after the date of this Agreement in respect of such Shares and all other rights and advantages belonging to or accruing on the Shares on or after the date of this Agreement; and
               (ii) such Shareholder irrevocably waives (and shall procure the waiver of) all restrictions on transfer (including pre-emption rights) that may exist in relation to the Shares under the Company's Articles of Association (the "Articles of Association") or under any other agreement relating to the Shares or otherwise so as to enable the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser to proceed free of pre-emption rights.
          (c) Each holder of Series A Preferred Shares hereby irrevocably gives notice to the Company in accordance with Article 4.8 of the Company's Articles of Association that subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Shareholder shall convert to an Ordinary Share at Closing and each Series A Preferred Shareholder hereby warrants and confirms in relation to the conversion that it has complied with all relevant provisions of the Articles of Association.
     1.2 Purchase Price.
     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the aggregate purchase price for all issued Shares shall consist of (i) the Closing Payment Amount, (ii) the Additional Payment Amount (which shall consist, at the discretion of the Purchaser, as further described herein, of cash, Purchaser Common Stock or a combination thereof as provided herein and shall be subject to withholding for the applicable portion of the Escrow Amount as provided in this Agreement), and (iii) the Final Earnout Amount, if any (collectively, the "Purchase Price"). Such consideration shall be allocated and paid at the times and in the manner set forth in this Article I, in Section 6.5 (Earnout) and in the Registration Rights Agreement.
          (a) Payment and Allocation of Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agree that:
               (i) The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Shareholders pro rata based on each Shareholder's relative Share ownership in the Company and according to the preferences set forth in the Articles of Association of the Company, as

2


 
amended and in effect immediately prior to the Closing (such allocation, the "Required Consideration Allocation"). The parties agree that with respect to any Option Holder who exercises Company Options following the date of this Agreement without executing a Joinder Agreement, any amounts due to such Option Holder pursuant to the Articles Amendment shall reduce the Closing Payment Amount, the Additional Payment Amount and the Final Earnout Amount, as applicable, as if such Option Holder was a party to this Agreement and such reduction shall be reflected in the Required Consideration Allocation.
               (ii) The Closing Payment Amount payable hereunder shall be delivered to Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP (the "Shareholder Counsel") by the Purchaser, or its designee, for the benefit of the Shareholders. The Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative agree to instruct and cause the Shareholder Counsel to allocate and distribute the Closing Payment Amount received by the Shareholder Counsel from the Purchaser in accordance with the Spreadsheet. The Additional Payment Amount as provided herein and the Earnout Amount, if any, shall be payable to the Shareholders directly by the Purchaser.
               (iii) Each of the Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative agree that (w) payment of the Closing Payment Amount to the Shareholder Counsel shall be deemed payment to the Shareholders and shall constitute complete and full satisfaction and good discharge of the Purchaser's obligations to pay the Closing Payment Amount, (x) the Purchaser shall have no obligation to distribute, or liability with respect to the distribution of, the Closing Payment Amount or any portion thereof to the Shareholders, other than to deliver the Closing Payment Amount to the Shareholder Counsel, (y) the Shareholder Counsel shall be able to rely solely on the Spreadsheet in the allocation and distribution of the Closing Payment Amount, (z) that the Purchaser shall be able to rely solely on the Spreadsheet (as the same may be updated pursuant to Section 5.9) in the allocation and distribution of the Additional Payment Amount and the Earnout Amount, if any, and shall have no liability with respect to the distribution or allocation of the Purchase Price so long as such allocation is consistent with the Spreadsheet as updated and delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.9 prior to the applicable payment date.
          (b) Closing Payment Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay the Closing Payment Amount to the Shareholder Counsel by wire transfer, in cash, in accordance with the wire transfer instructions for the Shareholder Counsel set forth on Exhibit D.
          (c) Additional Payment Amount.
               (i) Following the Closing, the Purchaser shall determine, in its sole discretion, subject to Section 1.2(c)(iv), whether the Additional Payment Amount shall consist of cash, shares of Purchaser Common Stock or some combination thereof and shall thereafter deliver a written notice (a "Determination Notice") to the Shareholder Representative setting forth (i) the relative allocation (in dollars) of the Additional Payment Amount between cash and Purchaser Common Stock and (ii) if applicable, the anticipated effective date of the Registration Statement (such date, as designated by the Purchaser in the Determination Notice or thereafter designated in a subsequent notice by the Purchaser, the "Target Effective Date", which shall not be later than November 30, 2007). If Purchaser determines that any portion of the Additional Payment Amount shall consist of Purchaser Common Stock, Purchaser shall deliver the initial Determination Notice no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Target Effective Date. Any amount of the Additional Payment

3


 
Amount that the Purchaser determines to pay in Purchaser Common Stock (as expressed in dollars on the Determination Notice) is referred to herein as the "Additional Payment Stock Value". The aggregate number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued as a portion of the Additional Payment Amount shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Additional Payment Stock Value by (B) the Trading Price and shall thereafter be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(vii) (such aggregate number of shares, as adjusted, the "Stock Consideration Number"). The aggregate amount of cash to be paid as a portion of the Additional Payment Amount shall equal (i) the Additional Payment Amount minus (ii) the product of the Stock Consideration Number, if any, multiplied by the Trading Price.
               (ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay and/or deliver the Additional Payment Amount to the Shareholders (allocated as provided in Section 1.2(a)) either (i) if the Additional Payment Amount is being paid solely in cash, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of the Determination Notice, but in no event later than November 30, 2007 or (ii) if any portion of the Additional Payment Amount is being paid in shares of Purchaser Common Stock, the portion paid in Purchaser Common Stock shall be issued as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Trading Price Measurement Date, but in any event prior to the Target Effective Date and the portion paid in cash shall be paid no later than November 30, 2007.
               (iii) The Purchaser shall (i) deliver the portion of the Additional Payment Amount consisting of Purchaser Common Stock, if any, by the delivery of share certificates, registered in the applicable Shareholder's name, representing the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock allocable to such Shareholder pursuant to this Section 1.2 and (ii) pay by wire transfer, in cash, the cash portion of the Additional Payment Amount, if any, to each Shareholder in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth on Exhibit D or such other wire instructions delivered in writing to the Purchaser by the applicable Shareholder at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated date of payment.
               (iv) If the Purchaser consummates a public offering of Purchaser Common Stock following the date of this Agreement but prior to the date that the Additional Payment Amount is paid pursuant to this Agreement, at least $8,200,000 of the Additional Payment Amount shall be paid in the form of cash within ten (10) Business Days following the completion of such offering.
               (v) The determination of whether to pay the Additional Payment Amount in cash or shares shall be made in the sole discretion of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but without limiting the Purchaser's obligation to pay the Additional Payment Amount within the time periods proscribed above, under no circumstances shall the Purchaser be required to issue shares of Purchaser Common Stock and, unless and until otherwise determined by Purchaser, the Purchaser shall not issue shares of Purchaser Common Stock to the extent doing so would require the Purchaser to obtain stockholder consent pursuant to any rules promulgated by the Nasdaq Stock Market and/or the NASD Marketplace Rules (including Rule 4350) and to the extent the Purchaser determines not to issue shares of Purchaser Common Stock for any or all of the Additional Payment Amount, it shall pay any remaining portion of the Additional Payment Amount in cash.
               (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, after consultation with outside legal

4


 
counsel, that the issuance of shares of Purchaser Common Stock to any individual Shareholder would result in a violation of, or would not qualify for an exemption under, any U.S. federal or state or foreign securities laws, the Purchaser shall have the right to pay such Shareholder, in lieu of such shares of Purchaser Common Stock, an amount of cash equal to the value of such shares of Purchaser Common Stock, based on the Trading Price without giving effect to clause (A) thereof.
               (vii) For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued to each Shareholder pursuant to this Section 1.2(c), all fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock that a Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive shall be aggregated and rounded up to the nearest whole share.
               (viii) The Purchaser's ability to elect to pay (and the payment by the Purchaser of) all or a portion of the Additional Payment Amount in cash may be subject to the Purchaser obtaining the prior consent of its senior lenders under its agreements with such senior lenders, as the same may be amended from time to time, which consent the senior lenders could withhold, thereby requiring the Purchaser to pay such amount, in whole or in part, in stock.
          (d) Earnout Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 6.5, the Purchaser shall pay the Final Earnout Amount, if any (allocated as provided in Section 1.2(a)), no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Earnout Determination Date by wire transfer, in cash, in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth on Exhibit D or such other wire instructions delivered to the Purchaser in writing by the applicable Shareholder at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated date of payment.
          (e) Escrow. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the portion of the Additional Payment Amount to be paid to each Shareholder shall be reduced by the amount set forth opposite such Shareholder's name on Exhibit D under the heading "Proportionate Escrow Amount" (such amount, the Shareholder's "Proportionate Escrow Amount"), (ii) if the Additional Payment Amount is partially paid in shares of Purchaser Common Stock, any cash portion of the Additional Payment shall first be used to constitute the Escrowed Cash (as defined below), (iii) if the Additional Payment Amount is partially paid in shares of Purchaser Common Stock, the amount of cash and shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be withheld to satisfy each Shareholder's Proportionate Escrow Amount shall be withheld in the same relative proportion that the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock being paid as a portion of the Additional Payment Amount bears to the aggregate Additional Payment Amount, (iv) the aggregate of all such Proportionate Escrow Amounts shall be equal in value (using the Trading Price to value shares of Purchaser Common Stock) to the Escrow Amount, (v) the cash portion of the Escrow Amount (collectively, the "Escrowed Cash") shall be delivered by the Purchaser to the Escrow Agent at the time that the Additional Payment Amount is paid to the Shareholders and will be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and an Escrow Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Escrow Agreement") and (vi) the share certificate or certificates constituting a portion of the Escrow Amount, if any, (the "Escrowed Shares") shall be delivered by the Purchaser to the Escrow Agent at the time that the Additional Payment Amount is paid to the Shareholders to hold in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount shall serve as collateral for the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders under this Agreement subject to Article VIII hereof.
          (f) Installment Sale. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted under applicable law, (i) the Escrow Fund shall be treated as an installment obligation for

5


 
purposes of Section 453 of the Code, and (ii) no party shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with such characterization. Any portion of any payments or distributions to the Shareholders under this Agreement that are treated as interest under Section 483 of Code or otherwise shall be treated as portfolio interest under Section 871(h) of the Code and this Agreement shall be treated as in requested form within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 871, unless prohibited by applicable law.
     1.3 Closing; Closing Deliveries and Actions.
          (a) Closing. The closing (the "Closing") of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder shall be held at the offices of Taylor Wessing, 50 Victoria Embankment, Blackfriars, London, and will take place as promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII or at such other time and place upon which the Purchaser and the Shareholder Representative shall mutually agree in writing.

All reserves that are set forth in or reflected in the Current Balance Sheet have been established in accordance with UK GAAP consistently applied. At the Balance Sheet Date, there were no material loss contingencies (as such term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 ("Statement No. 5") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in March 1975) that are not adequately provided for in the Current Balance Sheet, as required by Statement No. 5.

The accounts, books and ledgers and financial and other records of the Company (including all invoices) have been kept in accordance with sections 221 and 222 of the Companies Act where relevant. The Company has not in relation to its records, systems, controls, data or information, recorded, stored, maintained, operated or that it is otherwise wholly or partly dependent on or held by any means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process whether computerized or not) which (including all means of access) are not under the exclusive ownership or direct control of the Company. Except as set forth in Section 3.8 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company is in material compliance with its system of internal accounting controls.

ARTICLE VI
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
     6.1 Covenants Not to Compete or Solicit.
          (a) Each of the Shareholders (other than the Principal Shareholders, but specifically including Paul Phillips) agree that beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the "Non-Compete Period"), such Shareholder shall not, other than on behalf of the Purchaser or the Company, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Company, engage anywhere in the Geographic Area in (whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, proprietor, partner, officer, director or otherwise on their own account or by or in association with or for the benefit of any other Person), have any ownership interest in (except for passive ownership of one percent (1%) or less of any entity whose securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), or participate in the financing, operation, management or control of, any firm, partnership, corporation, entity or business that is engaged or participates in any activity or business which is directly competitive with the business of the Company (the "Restricted Business").
          (b) Each Shareholder (other than Sophus Ltd.) agrees that during the Non-Compete Period, such Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the

58


 
Purchaser and the Company, induce or attempt to induce any of the Company's respective customers, suppliers, distributors or contractors with whom the Company has transacted the Restricted Business in the Geographic Area in the twelve (12) months prior to Closing, to terminate, reduce or otherwise change its relationship with the Company in order to enter into any relationship with such Shareholder in relation to the Restricted Business in the Geographic Area or with any other Person that engages or participates (or plans to engage or participate) in the Restricted Business in the Geographic Area. This Section 6.1 shall in no event be deemed to restrict the activities of a current or future portfolio company of a Shareholder that is a venture capital fund.
          (c) During the Non-Compete Period, each Shareholder agrees that such Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or entice away from the Company, or assist any other Person in employing or otherwise retaining the services of anyone who is an Employee (other than Employees engaged in a junior administrative or secretarial capacity of the Company on the date of this Agreement).
          (d) The term "Geographic Area" shall mean any location in the world where Purchaser or the Company has material offices, employees or customers.
          (e) The covenants contained in the preceding paragraphs shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county, city, state, or any similar subdivision in any Geographic Area. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in the preceding paragraphs. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section 6.1 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws.
          (f) Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the nature of the businesses of the Purchaser and the Company are such that if such Shareholder were to become employed by, or substantially involved in, the business of a competitor of the Purchaser or the Company soon after the termination of such Shareholder's employment with the Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, it would be very difficult for such Shareholder not to rely on or use the Purchaser's or the Company's trade secrets and confidential information. Each Shareholder subject to Section 6.1(a) has agreed to enter into this Agreement to, among other things, avoid the likely disclosure of the Purchaser's and the Company's trade secrets and confidential information.
          (g) Each Shareholder acknowledges that (i) the goodwill associated with the management or other important position such Shareholder may presently have with the Company, as the case may be, as well as Shareholder's equity ownership interest in the Company prior to the Acquisition is an integral component of the value of the Acquisition to Purchaser and is reflected in the consideration to be received by such Shareholder in the Acquisition and as an employee of the Company, and (ii) such Shareholder's covenants as set forth herein are necessary to preserve the value of the Acquisition for the Purchaser following the Acquisition.
          (h) Each Shareholder also acknowledges and agrees that the limitations of time, geography, and scope of activity agreed to in this Agreement by such Shareholder are reasonable because, among other things, (i) Purchaser and the Company are engaged in highly competitive industries, and (ii) Shareholder will have access to the trade secrets, proprietary and confidential information of Purchaser and the Company following the Acquisition.

59


 
          (i) Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate the Purchaser's and the Company's damages from any breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.1. Accordingly, such Shareholder agrees that in the event that such Shareholder breaches any provision of this Section 6.1, Purchaser and the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise available, to the right to obtain an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement. Such Shareholder further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief, nor will proof of actual damages be required for such equitable relief. Such Shareholder hereby expressly consents to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering of such specific performance.
     6.2 Tax Matters; Employee Matters.
          (a) Transfer Taxes. The Purchaser shall pay and be responsible for the payment of any transfer, sales, use, stamp (including stamp duty, stamp duty reserve or stamp duty land tax), conveyance, recording, registration, documentary or filing taxes and related administrative fees (including, without limitation, notary fees) arising on or as a result of this Agreement.

In the event that the Purchaser and JVP are unable to agree as to whether the Company is or has been a controlled foreign corporation, the determination shall be made by a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm, the cost of which shall be mutually shared by the parties, and such determination shall be final and binding on the Purchaser and JVP. If the Company is determined not to be a controlled foreign corporation, the Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary. If the Company is determined to be a controlled foreign corporation, the Purchaser shall have the right to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary but only with the consent of JVP, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
     6.3 Non-Assignment; Further Assurances.
          (a) Each Shareholder agrees that (i) the right to receive any portion of the Additional Payment Amount and/or the Earnout Amount, may be assigned or otherwise transferred by the Shareholders; provided that (i) such transfer or assignment is effected in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements and applicable securities laws, (ii) the Company is given written notice prior to said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the rights that are intended to be transferred or assigned, (iii) the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Shareholder under this Agreement and the applicable Transaction Agreements and (iv) if a Shareholder transfers or assigns a portion of the Additional Payment Amount to a third party, it must also transfer or assign its portion of the Earnout Amount to such third party and (ii) the potential right to receive any Purchaser Common Stock does not (and will not) give any Shareholder any dividend rights, voting rights or other rights of the holders of Purchaser Common Stock until any shares of Purchaser Common Stock have been issued to such Shareholder. Any attempted sale or transfer of the right to receive any portion of the Additional Payment Amount or the Earnout Amount in contravention of this Agreement shall be null and void.
          (b) Each of the Shareholders hereby agrees, at their own cost, to execute and deliver or procure to be done and executed and delivered such other instruments, deed and documents and to do

60


 
all such further acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting completely the transfer of the legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares to the Purchaser free from all Liens and at nil consideration.

Effective as of the Closing, each Shareholder does for himself and his/her or its respective affiliates, partners, heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns, if any, release and absolutely forever discharge the Company and each of its officers, directors, Shareholders, affiliates, employees and agents (each, a "Released Party") from and against all Released Matters. It is the intention of the Shareholders in executing the release contained in this Section 6.4, and in giving and receiving the consideration called for herein, that this release shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfaction and general release of and from all Released Matters. Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, the release contained in this Section 6.4 will not be effective so as to benefit a particular Released Party in connection with any matter or event that would otherwise constitute a Released Matter, but involved fraud, willful misconduct or willful misrepresentation, or the breach of any applicable law on the part of such Released Party. Each Shareholder hereby severally represents to the Purchaser that such Shareholder has not voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person any Released Matters and that no Person other than such Shareholder has any interest in any released matter by law or contract by virtue of any action or inaction by such Shareholder. The invalidity or unenforceability of any part of this Section 6.4 shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Section 6.4, which shall remain in full force and effect.
     6.5 Earnout.
          (a) Determination of Earnout. No later than ten (10) Business Days following the issuance of the opinion relating to the Purchaser's audited financials for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 by the Purchaser's independent auditors (the "Audit Firm"), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholder Representative a written statement (the "Earnout Statement") setting forth (x) the computation of the 2007 Recognized Revenue and the Purchaser's calculation of the Earnout Amount, and (y) a summary of all material financial information used in making such computation. In the event that the Shareholder Representative disputes the Purchaser's determination of the 2007 Recognized Revenue or the Purchaser's calculation of the Earnout Amount, the Shareholder Representative shall notify the Purchaser in writing by 5:00 PM United States Mountain Time on the fifteenth (15) day following the receipt of the Earnout Statement of such dispute (such date, calculated without including the date of receipt of the Earnout Notice, the "Earnout Dispute Deadline" and such notice, the "Earnout Dispute Notice"), which Earnout Dispute Notice shall provide a reasonably detailed description of such dispute and the Shareholder Representative's calculation of 2007 Recognized Revenue and the Earnout Amount. The Parties agree that any dispute regarding the Earnout Statement shall be resolved exclusively in the manner and pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 6.5(e). If the Shareholder Representative does not deliver an Earnout Dispute Notice on or before the Earnout Dispute Deadline, then the Earnout Amount set forth in the Earnout Statement shall be deemed conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto and none of the Shareholders or the Shareholder Representative will be permitted to dispute such amount.
          (b) Conditions to Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Shareholders shall have no right to receive any portion of the Earnout Amount unless the 2007 Recognized Revenue exceeds $6,370,000 (the "Earnout Floor"); and (ii) if the Earnout Floor has not been achieved by December 31, 2007, then the Final Earnout Amount shall be zero, and the Purchaser shall permanently retain, and the Shareholders shall permanently forfeit any and all rights to, the Earnout Amount, other than in regards to any breach of this Section 6.5.

The Purchaser agrees that following the Closing until December 30, 2007, the Purchaser's sales personnel will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Company's Products and Services; provided, however, that neither this commitment nor any other provision of this Agreement is intended to restrict the exercise by the Purchaser's or the Company's Board of Directors of its good faith business judgment and fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, however, that the Purchaser or the Company shall not intentionally take any action or omit to take any action for the principal purpose of decreasing 2007 Recognized Revenue.

          (e) Resolution of Disputes.

Any meetings of the parties required in connection with the resolution of any such dispute shall take place in New York City, New York, unless the Shareholder Representative and the Purchaser agree otherwise. The Independent Accountant's determination shall be final and binding on all parties absent manifest error in the application of this Section 6.5. For purposes hereof, the "Final Earnout Amount" shall equal (i) the Earnout Amount set forth in the Earnout Statement, if the Shareholder Representative does not timely deliver a Earnout Dispute Notice prior to the Earnout Dispute Deadline, (ii) the Earnout Amount as mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Shareholder Representative following the timely delivery of a Earnout Dispute Notice in accordance with the provisions hereof or (iii) the Accountant's Earnout Amount, if the Independent Accountant is engaged and delivers a calculation of Accountant's Earnout Amount in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and each of the Principal Shareholders, on the other hand, shall give prompt notice to the other party hereto of: (a) the occurrence or non occurrence of any event, the known occurrence or non occurrence of which is likely to cause any representation or warranty of any party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing, and (b) any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy, in any material respect, any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall not (i) limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the party receiving such notice or (ii) constitute an acknowledgment or admission of a breach of this Agreement. No disclosure pursuant to this Section 6.6, however, shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedule or prevent or cure any misrepresentations, breach of warranty or breach of covenant.

               (ii) any breach of or failure to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of any Shareholder (including any Principal Shareholder), the Warrantors, the Shareholder Representative, the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or in any schedule, exhibit, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements;

66


 
               (iii) any portion of the Shareholder Expenses and/or Company Debt, in any case, that was not deducted from the Closing Payment Amount or the Additional Closing Payment Amount;
               (iv) without limiting the foregoing, any Taxes of the Company or its Subsidiary attributable to:
  (a)   the payment of employee bonuses in consequence of this Agreement (whether paid before or after Closing) and the exercise of employee stock options on or prior to the Closing, provided that this Section 8.2(a)(iv)(a) shall not apply to any such Taxes which have been withheld or recovered by the Company or the Subsidiary and this Section 8.2(a)(iv)(a) shall not apply to any such Taxes which are included in the Employee Bonus Amounts;
 
  (b)   amounts required to be accounted for under the pay as you earn system by the Company or the Subsidiary and any employee national insurance contributions and any income tax and social security taxes arising in any territory outside the UK:
  (1)   as a result of the sale of the Shares by the Shareholders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement; or
 
  (2)   in respect of any consultancy arrangements entered into by the Company or its Subsidiary with any individuals where such payment was paid or accrued on or prior to Closing;
      provided that this Section 8.2(a)(iv)(b) shall not apply to any such Taxes which have been withheld or recovered by the Company or the Subsidiary; or
 
  (c)   payments made to any employee or consultant of the Company or any Subsidiary arising as a result of or in consequence of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements provided that this Section 8.2(a)(iv)(c) shall not apply to any such Taxes which have been withheld or recovered by the Company or the Subsidiary; and
 
      together, in each case, with any fine, penalty and interest relating to the same; and
               (v) any fraud, willful misconduct or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Shareholders or the Company committed in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements.
          (b) The Shareholders shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the other Shareholders, the Company or the Purchaser with respect to any Loss claimed by any Indemnified Person.

67


 
     8.3 Limitations; Maximum Payments; Remedies.
          (a) Claims Threshold. There shall be no right to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) unless and until the total of all indemnifiable Losses exceeds $150,000.00 in the aggregate (the "Claims Threshold"), and thereafter the Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover the amount of any indemnifiable Losses including those Losses comprising the Claims Threshold; provided, however, that the Claims Threshold shall not apply to any claim made in connection with the breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties set forth in Section 2.1 (Title), Section 2.3 (Authority), Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b) and 3.3(c) (Capitalization), Section 3.5 (Authority) or Section 3.13 (Tax Matters) of this Agreement, or in Sections 4(a) and 4(c) (Title and Authority) of each Joinder Agreement or in respect of any fraud, willful misconduct, or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of a Shareholder or the Company.
          (b) Claims Cap. The monetary obligations of the Shareholders with respect to indemnification claims by the Indemnified Persons under Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(a)(ii) shall be limited to recovery by the Indemnified Persons from the Escrow Fund (the "Claims Cap"); provided, however, that, subject to Section 8.3(c), the Claims Cap shall not apply to any claim made in connection with the breach or inaccuracy of any representations, warranties or covenants (as applicable) set forth in set forth in Section 2.1 (Title), Section 2.3 (Authority), Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b) and 3.3(c) (Capitalization), Section 3.5 (Authority) or Section 3.13 (Tax Matters) of this Agreement or in Sections 4(a) and (c) (Title and Authority) of each Joinder Agreement or in respect of any fraud, willful misconduct, or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of a Shareholder or the Company.
          (c) Individual Shareholder Cap for Certain Claims. The entire Escrow Fund shall be available for any or all indemnification claims pursuant to Section 8.2 except that, with respect to the breach by any Shareholder of such Shareholder's representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 (Title) or Section 2.3 (Authority) of this Agreement or Sections 4(a) and 4.1(c) (Title and Authority) of the Joinder Agreement, as applicable, the Indemnified Persons' recovery from the Escrow Fund shall be limited to an amount equal to the Proportionate Escrow Amount contributed by the breaching Shareholder to the Escrow Fund; provided, however, nothing shall limit the Indemnified Person's ability to seek direct recovery from such breaching Shareholder in connection with such breach if the indemnifiable Losses arising out of or in connection therewith exceed such Shareholder's Proportionate Escrow Amount.
          (d) Mitigation. Nothing in this Article VIII shall affect the common law duty of the Purchaser and the Shareholders to mitigate any losses or damages which it suffers in consequence of any matter giving rise to an indemnification claim.
     8.4 Escrow Arrangements (a) . At or prior to the Closing, each of the Shareholder Representative and the Purchaser shall enter into the Escrow Agreement. As security for the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders provided for in this Agreement, at the Closing Date, the Shareholders will be deemed to have received all of the consideration due under the terms of this Agreement in exchange for their Shares (including the Escrow Amount). The Escrow Amount, however, shall be withheld in the manner set forth in Section 1.2(e). The Escrow Amount shall constitute an escrow fund (the "Escrow Fund") to be maintained, distributed, and otherwise handled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate the Purchaser and the Indemnified Persons for any Losses for which they are entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.
     8.5 Third-Party Claims. The obligations and liabilities of any party against which indemnification is sought hereunder with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties shall be subject to this Section 8.5.

68


 
          (a) Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Person of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation by a third party that could reasonably be expected to result in Losses for which indemnification may be sought (an "Asserted Liability"), the Indemnified Person shall give notice thereof (a "Claim Notice") to the Shareholder Representative. Each Claim Notice shall describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Person. The rights of any Indemnified Person to be indemnified hereunder shall not be adversely affected by its failure to give, or its failure to timely give, a Claim Notice with respect thereto unless, and if so, only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Person is prejudiced thereby.
          (b) The Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Purchaser within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, to participate in the defense of an Asserted Liability, through its counsel, at the expense of the Shareholders; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall control the defense and all proceedings in connection with the Asserted Liability. So long as the Shareholder Representative is participating in the defense of an Asserted Liability in good faith, the Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with the Shareholder Representative by providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Asserted Liability. The Purchaser shall not settle or compromise any Asserted Liability without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent will be required if the Purchaser reasonably believes itself to be potentially or actually exposed to Losses materially in excess of amounts reasonably expected to be recovered from the Shareholders with respect to such Asserted Liability or to nonmonetary remedies; provided, further, however, that the Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain in such settlement a release of the Indemnifying Persons (on behalf of the Shareholders) and the Company with respect to all such Asserted Liabilities.
          (c) If the Purchaser informs the Shareholder Representative that the Purchaser shall not conduct the defense of any Asserted Liability, the Shareholder Representative shall assume such defense. Regardless of whether the Purchaser elects to assume the defense of the Asserted Liability in accordance with the terms hereof, the Purchaser shall not admit any liability with respect to, consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, or otherwise settle such Asserted Liability without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the Purchaser does not give such consent, the Shareholder Representative shall resume the diligent defense of the Asserted Liability.
     8.6 Non-Third-Party Claims. In the event that the Indemnified Person asserts the existence of a claim giving rise to Losses (but excluding claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties), it shall give written notice to the Shareholder Representative. Such written notice shall specify the nature and amount of the Losses asserted in reasonable detail. If the Shareholder Representative, within thirty (30) days after the mailing of notice by the Indemnified Person, shall not give written notice to the Indemnified Person announcing its intent to contest the assertion of such claim or the Losses in respect of such claim of the Indemnified Person, such assertion shall be deemed accepted and the amount of Losses in respect thereof shall be deemed to have been agreed upon. In the event, however, that the Shareholder Representative contests the assertion of a claim or the amount of Losses in respect of such claim by giving such written notice to the Indemnified Person within said period, then the parties shall act in good faith to reach agreement regarding such claim. In the event that litigation shall arise with respect to any such claim, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred in connection with such litigation including attorney fees.
     8.7 Limitations. Any amounts payable pursuant to this Article VIII shall be (i) reduced by the net proceeds actually received from insurance policies, risk sharing pools, or similar arrangements

69


 
covering the Losses that are the subject to the claim for indemnity, (ii) reduced by the net proceeds actually received from third parties, through indemnification, counterclaim or otherwise in compensation for the subject matter of an indemnification claim by such Indemnified Person.
     8.8 Indemnification Exclusive Remedy. Except for matters related to fraud, willful misconduct or willful misrepresentation, the exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Persons for monetary damages regarding the matters described in Section 8.2(a)(i) through (iv) or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be to assert a claim for indemnification under the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
     9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing, and the Acquisition may be abandoned, notwithstanding any requisite approval and adoption of the Acquisition, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the Shareholders:
          (a) by mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Shareholder Representative;
          (b) by either the Shareholder Representative or the Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before March 31, 2007 for any reason; provided, however, (i) that the right of the Shareholder Representative to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available if any Shareholder's action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement and (ii) that the right of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available if the Purchaser's action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;
          (c) by either the Shareholder Representative or the Purchaser if a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Acquisition, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;
          (d) by the Purchaser upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of any Shareholder set forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, or if any representation or warranty of any Shareholder shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue; provided, however, that if such inaccuracy in a Shareholder's representations and warranties or breach by a Shareholder is curable by the Shareholder through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then the Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) for ten (10) days after delivery of written notice from the Purchaser to the Shareholder of such breach, provided the Shareholder continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach (it being understood that the Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) if such breach by the Shareholder is cured during such 10-day period); provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach or inaccuracy which by its nature cannot be cured;
     9.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement under and in accordance with Section 9.1 will be (but will only be) effective immediately upon (or, if the

70


 
termination is pursuant to Section 9.1(d) and the proviso therein is applicable, ten (10) days after) the delivery of written notice of the Shareholder Representative or the Purchaser, as applicable, to the other. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability to any party hereunder in connection with the Agreement or the Acquisition, except (i) as set forth in this Section 9.2, and Article X, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any intentional or willful breach of, or any intentional misrepresentation made in, this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

          (c) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement as provided herein contemplated by Section 10.1 taken in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 10.1, shall constitute a decision of the Shareholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Shareholders; and the Escrow Agent and the Purchaser may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders. The Escrow Agent and the Purchaser are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative.

     10.7 Entire Agreement; Assignment; Amendment. This Agreement, the Transaction Agreements, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein and therein (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, (b) shall not be assigned by the Shareholders by operation of law or otherwise unless otherwise specifically provided herein or therein and (c) shall not be assigned by the Purchaser to any Person except that the Purchaser may assign the benefit of this Agreement to any subsidiary of the Purchaser.

          (a) No waiver of any breach or default under this Agreement or any of its terms shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and has been signed by the party against which it is asserted (it being understood and agreed that the Shareholder Representative may sign a waiver on behalf of all of the Shareholders, provided that such waiver does not adversely and disproportionately affect the obligations or rights of a Shareholder hereunder or affect the amount or type of consideration payable to such Shareholder hereunder).
          (b) Unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, no delay by any party in exercising, or failure to exercise, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise shall constitute a waiver of the right, power or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any right, power or

     10.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and are not intended to inure, and will not inure, to the benefit of any other Person and for the avoidance of doubt no term of this Agreement is enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999; provided, however, that the indemnification rights in Article VIII shall be for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons who may rely on and enforce such rights and the release of each Shareholder in Section 6.4 (Shareholder Release), Section 6.1 (Covenants Not to Compete or Solicit) and the obligations of confidentiality in Section 10.2 are for the benefit of the Company and the Purchaser and the Company and the Purchaser may rely on and enforce each Shareholder's release in Section 6.4, restrictive covenants and obligations of confidentiality.

     10.11 Effect of the Closing. This Agreement, so far as it is capable of having effect after the Closing, shall notwithstanding the Closing remain in full force and effect.
     10.12 Remedies Cumulative. Except as set forth herein, the rights and remedies conferred on the Purchaser in this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Purchaser (whether hereunder or pursuant to law or equity) and the exercise by the Purchaser of one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
     10.13 Governing Law. This Agreement and the respective rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be determined under, the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of the State of Delaware to be performed solely in the State of Delaware, i.e., without regard to choice of law principles. Subject to Section 10.16, (i) any action involving this Agreement shall be brought and maintained solely in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, (ii) each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and such process and (iii) each party agrees not to commence any legal proceedings related hereto except in such courts.

          (a) Application. This Section 10.16 shall not apply to any claims or against the Escrow Fund or disputes arising therefrom or in connection with disputes regarding the Earnout Amount, which shall be resolved in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement and Section 6.5(e), respectively. If any claim or dispute arises out of or is related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, or the interpretation, making, performance, breach or termination hereof or thereof, the parties agree that the Purchaser and the Shareholder Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) days of written notification of such dispute by one party to the other. If such dispute is not so resolved within such twenty (20) day period, such claim or dispute, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in New York City, New York in accordance with, subject to Section 10.13, the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having personal jurisdiction over the judgment debtor. The Shareholders agree that disputes on behalf of the Shareholders may only be brought by the Shareholder Representative.
          (b) Selection of Arbitrators. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator chosen by mutual agreement of the Purchaser and the Shareholder Representative. Alternatively, at the request of either the Purchaser or the Shareholder Representative before the commencement of arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by three independent arbitrators, none of whom shall have any competitive interests with the Purchaser or the Shareholders. The Purchaser and the Shareholder Representative shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator none of whom shall have any prior relationship with the Purchaser or the Shareholders.
          (c) Discovery. The arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions for discovery abuses, including attorneys' fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification.
          (d) Decision. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties and signatories to this Agreement (including all of the Shareholders). Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s), including attorneys' and experts' fees and costs awarded to the prevailing party. Within thirty (30) days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party

77


 
to another, such party shall make the payment to such other party, including any distributions out of any amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund, as applicable.
          (e) Other Relief. The parties to the arbitration may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary, without breach of this arbitration provision and without abridgement of the powers of the arbitrators(s).
          (f) Costs and Expenses. Until the termination of the arbitration proceedings, the fees and costs of the arbitrator(s) shall be borne as follows: 50% shall be borne by the Purchaser and 50% shall be borne proportionately by the Shareholders from the Escrow Fund (with the Purchaser's consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld) and following the termination of the arbitration proceedings the fees and costs of the arbitrator(s) shall be allocated and paid as directed by the arbitrator(s).
