deliver to Buyer an executed Section 338(h)(10) Election and similar elections for state income tax purposes on or before the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer and the Sellers agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the assets of the Company for all purposes (including tax and financial accounting) in a manner consistent with Code Sections 338 and 1060 and the regulations thereunder. Buyer and the Sellers shall file all tax returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with such allocation.

7. INDEMNIFICATION.

7.1 Indemnification by Sellers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Sellers and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the sole member of Ad Rem, each hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its stockholders, Affiliates (including the Company), successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damages (including incidental and consequential damages), claims, obligations, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) which any of them may sustain, directly or indirectly, by reason of:

(a) the inaccuracy of, or failure to comply with, or the existence of any facts resulting in the inaccuracy or breach of, any of the warranties or representations, or nonfulfillment of any of the covenants or agreements, of Sellers contained in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and/or in any agreement or document delivered pursuant hereto, or in connection with the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(b) any and all claims, liabilities and obligations resulting from claims of ownership interest in the Company by Unita Holding B.V. or any Affiliate thereof; or

(c) any and all loss which might result of the reclassification into an employment contract of a contract entered into with any independent contractor, sub-contractor, agent, free-▇▇▇▇▇ agent or other self-employed person; or

(d) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments and judgments incident to any of the foregoing.

7.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, their Affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, from and against any and all Losses which any of them may sustain, directly or indirectly, by reason of:

(a) the inaccuracy of or failure to comply with, or the existence of any facts resulting in the inaccuracy or breach of, any of the warranties or representations, or nonfulfillment of any covenants or agreements, of Buyer contained in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or in any agreement or document delivered pursuant hereto, or in connection with the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby; or

(b) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments and judgments incident to any of the foregoing.

7.3 Third Party Claims.

(a) If any claim or demand for which a party (the “Indemnifying Party,” which term shall include any party having an indemnification obligation under this Article 7) may be liable pursuant to this Article 7 is asserted against or sought to be collected from an indemnified party hereunder (the “Indemnified Party,” which term shall include any party entitled to indemnification under this Article 7), by any Person who is not an Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnified Party against whom the claim or demand is asserted shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing. The Indemnifying Party will have fifteen (15) days from the delivery of such notice, or such lesser time as may reasonably be available in the event that any action or proceeding has been commenced, to notify the Indemnified Party as to whether or not the Indemnifying Party will, at its sole cost and expense, defend against such claim or demand.

(b) If the Indemnified Party is not notified that the Indemnifying Party will defend against such claim or demand within the period allowed after delivery of notice of the claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, to defend such claim or demand by appropriate proceedings or to settle or pay any such claim or demand for such an amount as the Indemnified Party shall deem appropriate.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party disputes the right to indemnity, the Indemnified Party may also defend such claim or demand or settle or pay any such claim or demand, but any right to recover from the Indemnifying Party shall depend on the resolution of the dispute as to the right of indemnity.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it desires at its sole cost and expense to defend against such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party (i) shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, subject to reimbursement for the cost of providing such cooperation; and (ii) may elect to participate in any such defense at its sole cost and expense, but the control of such defense and its settlement or resolution shall rest primarily with the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at any time, elect to control, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, the defense, settlement and resolution of any

claim or demand which, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment would (i) lead to any material liability or create any material financial obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, or (ii) harm the reputation of the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Residual Harm”).

(e) The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed of the status of the defense of any claim or demand which it elects to defend, and in fact defends, hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle any such claim or demand without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party. If such prior written approval is withheld by the Indemnified Party, the liability of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such action, suit, proceeding, claim or demand shall be limited to the amount of the settlement recommended by the Indemnifying Party and not approved by the Indemnified Party in defending such claim; provided, however, that in the event of any claim or demand that, (a) in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, would result in any Residual Harm, or (b) the proposed settlement of which does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such claim or demand, the Indemnifying Party may not accept any such settlement, offer or compromise and must proceed to defend such action.

(f) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against any claim or demand for which it does not dispute indemnity is due or for which it disputes the right to indemnity and such dispute is resolved in a manner affirming such right to indemnity, the amount of such claim or demand, or if the same be defended by the Indemnifying Party, that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful, or any amount agreed to be paid in settlement of such claim, shall be payable in cash by the Indemnifying Party (jointly and severally, in the event Sellers are the Indemnifying Parties) to the party making demand for payment immediately upon the earlier of the time the Indemnified Party pays or incurs such Losses or at the time such Losses are due and payable.

7.4 Other Claims. If an Indemnified Party has any claim or demand against an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 7, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder. If the Indemnified Party is not notified (within fifteen (15) days from the delivery of such notice) by the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 7, such claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay such claim in cash immediately upon demand. If the Indemnifying Party timely notifies the Indemnified Party that it disputes its liability with respect to such claim, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.7 hereof.

7.5 Setoff. In addition to, and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Indemnified Party may have, the Indemnified Party shall have

the right to setoff, against any and all amounts due to the Indemnifying Party, whether due under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any of the other agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, any sums for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 7; provided that the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification under this Article 7 shall not be in any manner limited by or to this right of setoff. If any claim or demand for which indemnification may be required hereunder is pending at a time when the Indemnified Party is required to pay any amount due to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right, upon notice to the Indemnifying Party, to withhold from such payment, until final determination of such pending claim or demand, the total amount for which the Indemnifying Party may become liable as a result thereof, as determined by the Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith.

7.6 Remedies Not Exclusive. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation or lieu of, any statutory, equitable or common law remedy any party may have for a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained herein.

7.7 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that (i) subject to clause (ii) hereof, the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, (ii) the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in Sections 4.1 (Organization and Capitalization), 4.15 (Compliance), 4.16 (Litigation and Claims), 4.18 (Taxes), and 4.20 (Employee and Labor Relations Matters), hereof shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (iii) if an Indemnified Party provides proper notice to the Indemnifying Party hereunder of any then existing matter within the scope of an Indemnifying Party’s indemnity obligation within such survival periods, the Indemnified Party may pursue its claim for indemnification after such period, in which case the representation or warranty on which it is based shall survive until such claim is resolved.

(b) Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party hereto prior to Closing, which shall not constitute a waiver as to enforcement of any right or remedy which a party may have, Buyer shall be presumed to have relied upon the representations and warranties of Sellers, and Sellers shall be presumed to have relied upon the representations and warranties of Buyer, in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.8 Seller Representative. Sellers hereby irrevocably constitute, appoint and designate Seller Representative as their representative and attorney in fact with full and unconditional power to exercise any and all rights and obligations of Sellers under this Article 7 (and under such other provisions of this

Agreement as have explicit reference to the Seller Representative), on behalf of all Sellers, and in connection therewith, to make all requisite decisions, take all requisite actions, and receive and provide all requisite notices, on behalf of Sellers. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and it shall not be affected by disability of any Seller, provided that if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ should die or become incapacitated, the Sellers can revoke this power and appoint a new representative hereunder. Such appointment shall become effective upon receipt by Buyer of written notice from all Sellers setting forth such appointment.

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

8.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions of the parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, that certain term sheet, dated October 16, 2007, by and between the Company, on the one hand, and Metastorm Inc., on the other hand.

8.2 Waiver of Compliance. A waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, whether or not similar, nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided in writing. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of any of the Parties to comply with any obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting such waiver. Wherever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of any Party hereto, such consent shall be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 8.2.

8.3 Expenses. Each of the Parties hereto shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective legal counsel, accountants and other experts and representatives incident to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and in connection with any disputes between the Parties arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Sellers shall bear all costs and expenses in connection with obtaining any and all Consents.

8.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors

and assigns without the need of any prior written approval of the other Party. However, notification to the other party is required, before or afterwards.

8.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Articles 4 and 7 hereof, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any rights or benefits upon any third parties.

8.6 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is or to any extent shall become invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provisions to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable under the laws now or hereafter in effect in the jurisdictions governing this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision shall be held valid and enforceable to the greatest possible extent.

8.7 Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any suit involving any dispute or matter arising under this Agreement may only be brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of Maryland, United States. Each of the Parties consents to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by such court with respect to all such proceedings. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY PROCEEDING INVOLVING ANY DISPUTE OR MATTER ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

8.8 Notice. All notices and communications pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given and effective when received if (i) personally delivered, (ii) mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iii) sent by other delivery service providing evidence of delivery, to the following:

8.9 Construction.

(a) The Parties actively participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and in the event of any ambiguity or mistake herein, or any dispute among the Parties with respect to the provisions hereof, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed unfavorably against any of the Parties on the ground that he, it, or his or its counsel was the drafter thereof.

(b) Nothing in a Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself).

(c) The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

8.10 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.12 Notices of Certain Events. Each of the Parties shall promptly notify the other Party of: any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if the failure of any of the Parties hereto, as the case may be, to obtain such consent would result in a material adverse effect on any of the parties hereto, as applicable; any notice or other communication from any government entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to the best of such Party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such

Party or any of its Affiliates which relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
