STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made on February 1, 2006, by and among Manatron, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("Buyer"), and the undersigned shareholders (individually, a "Seller" and collectively, the "Sellers") of ASIX, Inc., a Washington corporation ("ASIX").

Sellers own 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of ASIX, consisting of 53,000 shares of such stock, as indicated on Schedule 2.5, $1.00 par value (the "Shares"). ASIX is a leading-edge software company and information consulting firm (the "Business"). Buyer desires to purchase from Sellers, and Sellers desire to sell to Buyer, the Shares on the terms of this Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PRINCIPAL TRANSACTION

1.1 Sale and Purchase of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined below), Sellers shall sell, grant, convey, assign, deliver, and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Sellers, all of the outstanding capital stock of ASIX, consisting of the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances (as defined below).

1.2 Purchase Price and Payment. As consideration for the sale and transfer of the Shares to Buyer and Sellers' other covenants in this Agreement (the "Purchase Price"), Buyer shall pay the following to Sellers at the times and subject to the conditions set forth below.

1.2.1 Cash Payment. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Sellers $4,200,000 in immediately available funds (the "Cash Payment"), with each Seller receiving the portion of their Cash Payment based on their "Percent of Stock Ownership" as indicated in Schedule 1.2.

1.2.2 Stock Payment. Buyer will issue to Sellers 436,500 shares of its common stock, no par value (the "Buyer Stock"), with each Seller receiving the portion of their Buyer Stock based on their Percent of Stock Ownership as indicated in Schedule 1.2.

1.2.3 Promissory Notes. At the Closing, Buyer will sign and deliver nonnegotiable, promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $3,800,000 with each Seller receiving the principle amounts based on their Percent of Stock Ownership as indicated in Schedule 1.2, which notes shall bear interest at five percent per annum (each a "Note" and collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes will each be in the form set forth attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.2.4 Contingency Consideration.

(a) Earn Out. Subsequent to the third, fourth, fifth and sixth anniversaries of the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay Sellers additional consideration if Product Revenue (as defined below in Section 1.2.4(d)) exceeds $30,000,000 (such amount being the "Base Product Revenue"). For every $1.00 that Product Revenue exceeds Base Product Revenue, Buyer shall pay Sellers $0.15, (the "Contingency Consideration) with each Seller receiving their portion based on their Percent of Stock Ownership as indicated in Schedule 1.2 until the earlier of (i) the end of the Earn Out Period or (ii) the time when

the aggregate Contingency Consideration paid equals the Maximum Earn Out Amount (as defined below in Section 1.2.4 (f)).

(b) Timing; Reporting. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall track accumulated Product Revenue at the end of each fiscal quarter of Buyer to determine progress toward achievement of the Base Product Revenue and to determine on an interim basis the amount of the Contingency Consideration earned by Sellers. Buyer shall calculate and pay to Sellers the Contingency Consideration, if any, on an annual basis, beginning on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Buyer shall pay the Contingency Consideration to Sellers based on their Percent of Stock Ownership indicated in Schedule 1.2. The annual payments of the Contingency Consideration shall be made by Buyer within 90 days after the end of each annual period and the determination of the Contingency Consideration. Along with each annual payment, Buyer shall provide each Seller a report setting forth in reasonable detail its computation of Product Revenue (the "Report"). Additionally, after the earlier of (i) the end of the Earn Out Period, or (ii) the time when the aggregate Contingency Consideration paid equals the Maximum Earn Out Amount (as defined below in Section 1.2.4(f)), a final cumulative Report shall be prepared by Buyer and provided to each Seller.

(c) Dispute. Buyer's calculation of Product Revenue shall be considered final in determining the Contingency Consideration unless within 30 days of receipt of the Report, a Seller has given Buyer notice (a "Dispute Notice") that such Seller disputes Buyer's calculation of Product Revenue. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the exclusions or calculations being disputed. If a Dispute Notice is given, Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of receipt of the Dispute Notice, the dispute shall be submitted to a mutually agreed upon accounting firm (the "Arbitrator"). The Arbitrator shall be instructed to arbitrate such disputed item(s) and determine Product Revenue within 30 days of its selection. The resolution of disputes by the Arbitrator shall be set forth in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon and non-appealable by the parties, and the Arbitrator's determination of Product Revenue shall become final upon the date of such resolution. Buyer and each Seller disputing Product Revenue shall equally share the cost of the Arbitrator.

(d) "Product Revenue" means earned software licenses, services and support revenue determined and recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP") earned during the Earn Out Period from products with the present trade name of Apex whether now available or in the process of development in connection with the San Diego contract or to be developed in connection with further California contracts and that are or will be licensed by ASIX or Buyer, and from any other Buyer software, services and support provided to local governments and other jurisdictions located in the State of California. Product Revenue does not include any such revenue to the extent such revenue is determined to be uncollectible or to the extent its earned status is in dispute.

(e) "Earn Out Period" means the period beginning on February 1, 2006 and ending on and including January 31, 2012.

(f) "Maximum Earn Out Amount" means $1,000,000.

1.3 338(h)(10) Election.

Sellers will pay any Tax attributable to the making of the Elections and will indemnify the Buyer against any adverse consequences arising out of any failure to pay such Taxes.

1.3.2 Limitations. Notwithstanding the above, the Sellers need not agree to join in the Elections unless either (a) the Elections do not cause Sellers to incur any greater Tax liability resulting from the sale of the Shares than he would have incurred had the Elections not been made, or (b) Buyer will pay to Sellers an additional cash amount that reimburses Sellers for such additional income Tax liability incurred as a result of the Elections.

1.3.3 Allocation. If Elections are made, Buyer and Sellers agree to allocate the purchase price among the assets of Company as set forth on Exhibit B (the "Purchase Price Allocation").

Each section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to incorporate by reference information disclosed in any other section of the Disclosure Schedule only to the extent that the relevance of such disclosure to any such other section is reasonably apparent from the terms of such disclosure. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty unless the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail.

Except as has been disclosed to Buyer, ASIX is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such qualification. Schedule 2.2 contains true and correct copies of the organizational documents of ASIX, as currently in effect.

2.3 Authority and Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms.

Each Seller has the absolute and unrestricted right, power, authority, and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Sellers' Closing Documents and to perform his obligations under this Agreement and the Sellers' Closing Documents.

2.4 No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Sellers' Closing Document nor the consummation or performance of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Sellers' Closing Documents (the "Contemplated Transactions") will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time): (a) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any provision of the organizational documents of ASIX; (b) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of, or give any individual, corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, labor union, or other entity or governmental body ("Person") the right to challenge any of the Contemplated Transactions or to exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under, any federal, state, local, municipal, foreign, international, multinational, or other administrative order, constitution, law, ordinance, principle of common law, regulation, statute, or treaty ("Legal Requirement") or any award, decision, injunction, judgment, order, ruling, subpoena, or verdict entered, issued, made, or rendered by any court, administrative agency, or other governmental body or by any arbitrator ("Order") to which ASIX or any Seller, or any of the assets owned or used by ASIX, may be subject; (c) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any of the terms or requirements of, or give any Person the right to revoke, withdraw, suspend, cancel, terminate, or modify, any governmental authorization that is held by ASIX or that otherwise relates to the business of, or any of the assets owned or used by, ASIX; (d) cause Buyer or ASIX to become subject to, or to become liable for the payment of, any Tax; (e) cause any of the assets owned by ASIX to be reassessed or revalued by any taxing authority or other governmental body; (f) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of any provision of, cause ASIX to become subject to, or to become liable for the payment of any fee or similar charge under, give any Person the right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance of, or to cancel, terminate, or modify, any agreement of ASIX; or (g) result in

Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4, no Seller nor ASIX is or will be required to give any notice to or obtain any consent from any Person in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation or performance of any of the Contemplated Transactions.

2.5 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of ASIX consists of 100,000 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, of which 53,000 shares are issued and outstanding and constitute the Shares.

No legend or other reference to any purported Encumbrance appears upon any certificate representing equity securities of ASIX. All of the outstanding equity securities of ASIX have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

The financial statements referred to in this Section reflect the consistent application of such accounting principles throughout the periods involved. No financial statements of any Person other than ASIX are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of ASIX.

2.7 Books and Records. The books of account and other records of ASIX, all of which have been made available to Buyer, are complete and correct and have been maintained in accordance with sound business practices. The minute books of ASIX contain accurate and complete records of all meetings held of, and action taken by, the board of directors and stockholders of ASIX since the year 2000.

2.8 Title to Properties; Encumbrances. ASIX does not own, nor has it ever owned, any real property. The only real property that ASIX currently leases and uses is the premises located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇. ▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Real Property"). Sellers have delivered to Buyer a complete copy of the lease relating to the Real Property to which ASIX is a party (the "Real Property Lease"). The Real Property is in good condition (normal wear and tear excepted), structurally sound, fit for their intended purposes, free from latent defects, and adequately serviced by all utilities necessary for the effective operation of ASIX's business as presently conducted.

2.9 Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable of ASIX that are reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of ASIX as of the Closing Date (collectively, the "Accounts Receivable") represent or will represent valid obligations arising from software licenses, annual support contracts or services actually performed in the ordinary course of business. There is no contest, claim, or

6

right of set-off under any agreement with any obligor of an Accounts Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Accounts Receivable. Not less than 100% of the Accounts Receivable are, or will be as of the Closing Date, current and collectible, and each of the Accounts Receivable should be collected in full, without any set-off, within 120 days, and will be collected no later than one year, after the Closing Date, without the necessity of resorting to legal proceedings.

2.10 Clients. Except as has been disclosed to Buyer, since January 1, 2004, there has not been any material adverse change in ASIX's business relationship with any of ASIX's clients, nor could a material adverse change be reasonably anticipated because of the Contemplated Transactions. There has been no indication by any clients of an intention to discontinue or materially lessen its relationship with ASIX. There are no renegotiations of, attempts to renegotiate or outstanding rights to renegotiate any agreements with any clients and no clients have made written demand or request for such renegotiation.

2.11 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except to the extent reflected on the Balance Sheet and as disclosed with respect to the royalty agreements with BearingPoint, Inc. and Anoka County or incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the Balance Sheet, ASIX has no other liabilities or obligations of any nature.

2.12 Condition and Sufficiency of Assets. The equipment owned or leased by ASIX is in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), is adequate for the uses to which they are being put, and none of such equipment is in need of maintenance or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs that are not material in nature or cost. The equipment owned or leased by ASIX is sufficient for the continued conduct of the Business after the Closing in substantially the same manner as conducted prior to the Closing. All tangible personal property used in the Business is in the possession of ASIX. Sellers have delivered to Buyer a complete copy of each lease relating to any such property that is leased.

2.13 No Material Adverse Change. Since the date of the Balance Sheet, there has not been any material adverse change in the business, operations, properties, prospects, assets, or condition of ASIX, and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may result in such a material adverse change.

2.14 Employee Benefits. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.14:

2.14.1 Plans. With respect to all employees or independent contractors and former employees or independent contractors of ASIX and the dependents and beneficiaries of all such individuals, ASIX does not maintain or contribute to (a) any nonqualified deferred compensation or retirement plans, contracts or arrangements; (b) qualified defined contribution plans (as defined in Section 3(34) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 414(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"); (c) any qualified defined benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA or Section 414(j) of the Code); (d) any employee welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA); (e) any cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code; or (f) any other plan or program providing compensation or benefits in cash or in kind (including, without limitation, employee discounts or passes, company cars, tuition reimbursement, adoption assistance, short-term disability, long-term disability, or any other fringe benefit).

2.14.4 Other Plans. ASIX (and each member of any controlled group with ASIX) does not contribute (and has never contributed) to any multi-employer plan, as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA. ASIX (and each member of any controlled group with ASIX) has no actual or potential liabilities under Section 4201 of ERISA for any complete or partial withdrawal from a multi-employer plan.

2.14.5 Fiduciary Duties. Neither ASIX nor any of its directors, officers, employees or other "fiduciaries," as such term is defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA, has committed any breach of fiduciary responsibility imposed by ERISA or any other applicable law with respect to the Plans that would subject ASIX, Buyer, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, or affiliates to any liability under ERISA or any applicable law.

ASIX has not made any commitment, and is not under any obligation, to establish or adopt any new or additional employee benefit plans or to increase the benefits arising under any Plan.

2.14.8 Retiree Plans. ASIX has neither maintained in the past nor currently maintains an employee benefit plan providing welfare benefits (as defined in ERISA Section 3(1)) to employees after retirement or other separation of service, except as required by Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or Code Section 4980B or their successors. No tax under Code Sections 4980B or 5000

8

has been incurred with respect to any employee benefit plan and no circumstances exist that could give rise to such taxes.

2.14.9 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans.

"Tax" or "Taxes" shall mean any of ASIX's or Sellers' income, corporation, gross receipts, profits, gains, capital stock, capital duty, franchise, withholding, social security (including any social security charge or premium), unemployment, disability, property, wealth, welfare, stamp, excise, occupation, sales, use, transfer, value added, alternative minimum, estimated or other similar tax (including any fee, assessment, or other charge in the nature of or in lieu of any tax) imposed by any governmental entity (whether national, local, municipal or otherwise) or political subdivision thereof, and any interest, penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts in respect of the foregoing, and including any transferee or secondary liability in respect of any tax (whether by law, contractual agreement or otherwise) and any liability in respect of any tax as a result of being a member of any affiliated consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group. "Taxing Authority" shall mean, with respect to any Tax, the governmental entity or political subdivision thereof that imposes such Tax, and the agency (if any) charged with the collection of such Taxes for such entity or subdivision, including any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or agency that imposes, or is charged with collecting, social security or similar charges or premiums.

"Tax Reserve"); and such Taxes paid or provided for include those for which the Sellers may be liable in their own right, or as the transferee of the assets of, or as successor to, any other corporation, association, partnership, joint venture, or other entity. Since the date of the Balance Sheet, the Sellers have not incurred any additional liability for Taxes, other than what has been incurred in the ordinary course of business.

2.15.9 Other. ASIX has not agreed to and is not required to include in income any adjustment under either Section 481(a) or Section 482 of the Code (or an analogous provision of state, local, or foreign law) by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise. All amounts required to be collected or withheld by ASIX have been collected and withheld by ASIX and any such amounts that are required to be remitted to any Taxing Authority have been duly remitted. ASIX is not a party to any agreement relating to allocating or sharing the payment of, or liability for, or any indemnity by ASIX with respect to Taxes with respect to any Taxable Period. There are no proposed reassessments of any property owned by ASIX or other proposals that could increase the amount of any Tax to which ASIX could be subject.

Except as set forth on Schedule 2.28, no Seller nor any Related Person of any Seller or of ASIX has, or since January 1, 2002 has had, any interest in any property (whether real, personal, or mixed and whether tangible or intangible), used in or pertaining to ASIX's businesses. No Seller nor any Related Person of any Seller or of ASIX is, or since January 1, 2002 has owned (of record or as a beneficial owner) an equity interest or any other financial or profit interest in, a Person that has (a) had business dealings or a material financial interest in any transaction with ASIX, or (b) engaged in competition with ASIX with respect to any line of the products or services of ASIX. No Seller or any Related Person of any Seller or of ASIX is a party to any agreement with, or has any claim or right against, ASIX, except for Sellers' right to unpaid salary and rights to indemnification. Sellers are not aware of any facts which would give rise to a claim for indemnification against ASIX. A "Related Person" with respect to a particular Person, shall mean (i) any Person that directly or indirectly controls, is directly or indirectly controlled by, or is directly or indirectly under common control of such Person; (ii) any Person that holds a material interest in such Person; (iii) any person that serves as a director or officer of such Person; (iv) any Person in which such Person holds a material interest; and (v) any relative, spouse or relative of such spouse who has the same home as any individual described above and any parent or child of any individual described above.

2.29 Investment Intent. Each of the Sellers is acquiring the Buyer Stock for his own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). Each Seller understands that the issuance to Sellers of the Buyer Stock has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Seller's representations as expressed herein.

2.30 Disclosure of Information. Each Seller believes he has received all the information he considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Buyer Stock. Each Seller has reviewed the quarterly, annual and other periodic reports of Buyer that have been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Each Seller has been given the opportunity to obtain any information or documents relating to, and ask questions and receive answers about, Buyer, the Buyer Stock, and the business and prospects of Buyer that he deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks related to his investment in such shares.

2.31 Investment Experience; Economic Risk. Each Seller has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Seller is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Buyer and has the capacity to protect his own interests. Each Seller is able to bear the economic risks of his investment in the Buyer Stock for and indefinite period of time, including the risks of a complete loss of such Seller's investment in such securities.

2.32 Restricted Securities. Each Seller understands that the Buyer Stock is characterized as "restricted securities" under the Securities Act because it is being acquired from the Buyer in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act, the Buyer Stock may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Each Seller acknowledges that the Buyer Stock must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws ("Blue Sky Laws") or exemptions from such registration requirements are available. Each Buyer is aware that the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permit the limited resale of the shares purchased in a private placement, are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Buyer, the resale occurring

18

not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a "broker's transaction" or in a transactions directly with a "market maker" (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

2.33 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, each Seller further represents, warrants, and agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Buyer Stock until: (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or (b) the Seller shall have furnished Buyer with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that no such opinion shall be required if the disposing Seller has held such Buyer Stock for more than two (2) years at the time of disposition and the Seller has previously requested removal of restrictive legends from is certificates.

2.34 Legends. Each Seller understands that the Buyer Stock and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange thereof, may bear, substantially, one or all of the following legends:

2.34.1 "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (A) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, (B) THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT OR (C) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH SALE IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY OF SUCH ACT."

2.34.2 Any legend by the Blue Sky laws of any other state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so legended.

2.35 Brokers or Finders. Neither ASIX, a Seller, nor their agents have incurred any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokerage or finder's fees or agent's commissions or other similar payment in connection with this Agreement.

2.36 Dividends and Other Distributions. Since the date of the Balance Sheet, there have been no dividends paid or other distributions by ASIX (other than the customary tax distribution based upon estimated adjusted gross income of ASIX for the month of January, 2006 in amounts discussed with and consented to by Buyer).

ARTICLE 5

INDEMNIFICATION; REMEDIES

5.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing. The right to indemnification, payment of Damages (as defined in Section 5.1 below) or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on 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, payment of Damages (as defined in Section 5.1 below), or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

5.2 Seller Indemnification. Subject to Section 5.4, each Seller, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its representatives, stockholders, controlling persons, and affiliates (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons" in this circumstance) for, and will pay to the Indemnified Persons the amount of, every loss, liability, claim, damage (including incidental and consequential damages), expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorney's fees) or diminution of value, whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, "Damages"), arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by any Seller in this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered by a Seller pursuant to this Agreement; (b) any breach by any Seller of any covenant or obligation of a Seller in this Agreement, including not by way of limitation the value of the post-Closing economic loss to ASIX of any breach of the maintenance agreement covenant set forth in Section 4.2; (c) any pre-Closing violation of ERISA; (d) any and all Taxes imposed on or with respect to ASIX or its respective assets, operations, or activities for any pre-Closing period other than Taxes associated with the operation of the Business in jurisdictions outside of the States of Washington and Minnesota; (f) any Environmental Liability arising or incurred prior to the Closing; or (g) the enforcement of indemnification rights under this Article.

5.3 Buyer Indemnification. Subject to Section 5.4, Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, and will pay to Sellers (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons" in this circumstance) the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; (b) any breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement; or (c) the enforcement of indemnification rights under this Article.

5.4 Limitations on Indemnification

5.4.1 Basket. Except for Buyer's obligations to pay Sellers the Purchase Price, which shall not be subject to this Section 5.4, a party will not be obligated to indemnify the other party unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds $250,000 (the "Basket"), in which case the Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, shall be liable for all claims of indemnifications including the Basket amount; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to, and Sellers shall fully indemnify Buyer's Indemnified Persons for any Damages arising out of a breach of a representation or warranty relating to authorization and enforceability under Section 2.3, ownership of Shares under Section 2.5 or Intellectual Property Assets under Section 2.24.

5.4.2 Ceiling. A party will not be obligated to indemnify the other party for Damages in excess of $4,000,000 (the "Ceiling"); provided, however, the Ceiling shall not apply to, and Sellers shall fully indemnify Buyer's Indemnified Persons for any Damages arising out of a breach of a representation or warranty relating to authorization and enforceability under Section 2.3, ownership of Shares under Section 2.5 or Intellectual Property Assets under Section 2.24.

5.5 Time Limitations. Buyer's or Sellers' right to seek indemnification under Section 5.2 or 5.3 will survive for a period of four years from the Closing Date, except that the indemnity period will not expire, but will survive forever, for claims with respect to representations, warranties, covenants and agreements regarding: (a) authority and enforceability under Sections 2.3 and 3.2; (b) capitalization under Sections 2.5 and 3.4; (c) title to properties and encumbrances under Section 2.8; (d) taxes under Section 2.15; and (e) environmental matters under Section 2.25. The making of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement shall toll the running of the limitation period with respect to that claim. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a claim shall be deemed made upon the commencement of an independent judicial proceeding with respect to the matter underlying the claim or receipt by Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, of a written notice of a claim setting forth the amount of the claim (if known by Buyer or Seller, as applicable) and a general description of the facts underlying the claim.

5.6 Third Party Claims.

5.6.1 Notice. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it by a third party, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Agreement, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person's failure to give such notice.

5.6.2 Participation. If any Proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Person by a third party and the Indemnified Person gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding. After notice from the indemnifying party to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume, and its continued defense, of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding:

(a) It will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification;

(b) No compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the Indemnified Person's consent unless: (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person, and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and

(c) The Indemnified Person will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.

If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the Indemnified Person's notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

5.6.3 Special Claims. Notwithstanding the above, an indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume or continue the defense of a Proceeding if: (a) the claim involves Taxes or an Environmental Liability; (b) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate; (c) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding; or (d) an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. In any such case, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

5.7 Indemnification--Other Claims. If any Indemnified Person should have a claim against any indemnifying party hereunder that does not involve a third party claim, the Indemnified Person will transmit to the indemnifying party a written notice (the "Indemnity Notice") describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, and the basis of the Indemnified Person's request for indemnification under this Agreement. If the indemnifying party does not notify the Indemnified Person within 30 days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the indemnifying party disputes such claim, the claim specified by the indemnifying party in the Indemnity Notice shall be deemed a liability of the indemnifying party hereunder, with respect to which the Indemnified Person is entitled to prompt indemnification hereunder.

5.8 Offset. Buyer may, as one of Buyer's remedies in the event of any breach of this Agreement by any Seller or to effect indemnification against any Seller under this Article, withhold sums payable to any Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or otherwise, to the extent of any claim asserted by Buyer, and offset against the amounts due under those agreements any amounts or estimated amounts that Buyer is entitled pursuant to indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement. Any sums so withheld shall operate as a discharge, to the extent of the amount withheld, of Buyer's payment obligations to the applicable Seller under this Agreement or otherwise. Buyer's claims shall not, however, be limited to the payment amounts required by the agreements referenced above and Buyer shall have the right to recover directly from the Sellers the amount of any claims. If Buyer exercises Buyer's right to offset against a fixed obligation payable over time, the offset amount shall be applied against the remaining balance of the obligation and the remaining payments shall be revised to repay the remaining balance over the remaining term of the obligation. Any offset made by Buyer in good faith shall not constitute a breach by Buyer of the obligation against which the offset is made or any covenant or agreement made by Buyer under this Agreement or otherwise.

5.8 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article are cumulative and shall not prevent the assertion by Buyer of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against any Seller.
