POST-CLOSING MATTERS

(a) Employment Offers.
(i) Except as provided on Schedule 10.1(a)(i), as of the
Closing Date, Purchaser and each JDA Sub shall employ (where employment
continues by operation of law) or, where employment does not continue by
operation of law, shall offer employment to, each Employee listed on Schedule
10.1(a) on terms and conditions, including position, pay and benefits, which are
substantially similar in the aggregate to the terms and conditions, including
position, pay and benefits, provided such employee by Seller or such Intactix
Sub, as applicable, immediately prior to the Closing Date. Each such Employee
who continues in employment by operation of law or who accepts an offer of
employment pursuant to this Section 10.1 is hereafter referred to as a "New
Purchaser Employee." In no event shall Purchaser be required to maintain any
benefits or pay other forms of compensation for any specified period following
the Closing Date or to continue the employment of any New Purchaser Employee
(ii) Except as set forth in Section 10.1(a)(iii) hereof,
Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless (in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of ARTICLE XII hereof) Purchaser, and any JDA Sub, for any Losses as
a result of any salary, sales commissions, bonus compensation, payroll taxes,
contributions to Employee Plans, fringe benefits, vacation pay, compensation, or
other benefits or amounts under any Employee Plan or otherwise due and payable
as of Closing Date with respect to any former Employee whose employment
terminated for any reason prior to the Closing Date.
(iii) Seller agrees to use its reasonable commercial efforts
and Parent and Seller agree to cause each Intactix Sub to use its reasonable
commercial efforts to retain each Employee set forth on Schedule 10.1(a) up to
the Closing Date and assist Purchaser or the applicable JDA Sub in securing or
assuming (as the case may be) the employment of each of such Employees after the
Closing. Seller shall not transfer and Parent and Seller shall not permit any
Intactix Sub to transfer any Employee listed on Schedule 10.1(a) to an
assignment unrelated to the Business prior to Closing without the prior written
consent of Purchaser. Parent or Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly if,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any Employee terminates his or her employment
with Seller or an Intactix Sub, as applicable, prior to the Closing Date or

Disclosure Schedule. Where any Employee does not become an employee of Purchaser
or a JDA Sub by operation of law as a result of the Acquisition, Seller or each
Intactix Sub, as applicable, will prepare letters of termination and all other
documentation required by company policies or applicable law with respect to
terminating Employees and deliver such documentation to Purchaser prior to the
41
42
Closing Date. Purchaser shall be primarily responsible for communications with
all Employees regarding the termination of their employment with Seller or an
Intactix Sub, as applicable, and whether they will be employed with Purchaser or
any JDA Sub; provided, that Purchaser will preclear all Employee contacts
through ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Purchaser shall assume and become obligated to pay the

Capital; and (iv) other Liabilities related to the Employees reflected in the
calculation of Working Capital (other than the $725,000 reflected on Schedule
1.74 hereto as Severance Accrual). All other obligations of Seller and each
Intactix Sub with respect to Employees through the Closing Date shall remain the
sole obligations of Seller and each Intactix Sub, as applicable
(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, any Employee who works in the United States under a valid U.S. Visa
issued by the U.S. Department of Justice shall not become a New Purchaser
Employee until such Employee has obtained a new U.S. Visa naming Purchaser as
the employer; provided, however, that Purchaser shall diligently pursue an
application for such U.S. Visa.
(b) Employment Taxes.
(i) Seller shall be and shall cause each Intactix Sub to be
solely responsible for filing all employee related Tax Returns with respect to
such persons attributable to periods of employment or service with Seller or

employment Taxes paid with respect to any New Purchaser Employees for the period
from January 1, 2000 through the Closing Date.
(ii) Purchaser shall be and shall cause each JDA Sub to be
solely responsible for any withholding or employment Taxes with respect to any
of the New Purchaser Employees employed by Purchaser or such JDA Sub,
respectively, following the Closing Date, which accrue or become payable during
the period of such person's employment or service with Purchaser or such JDA
Sub, or arise out of the termination of such person's employment or service with
Purchaser or such JDA Sub. Purchaser shall be responsible and shall cause each
JDA Sub to be responsible for filing all tax returns with respect to such
persons attributable to periods of employment or service with Purchaser or such
JDA Sub.

with respect to (A) any of Parent's or Seller's obligations under this Section
10.1, or (B) any claims or obligations arising out of the employment of any
person by Parent,
42
43
Seller and any Intactix Sub for the period ending on the Closing Date, whether

termination of such Employee's employment in connection with the Acquisition.
Purchaser shall be and shall cause each JDA Sub to be jointly and severally
liable for and obligated to pay and shall indemnify and hold Parent, Seller and
each Intactix Sub and any Affiliates of Parent, Seller or any Intactix Sub

from any and all liabilities with respect to (X) any of Purchaser's or any JDA
Sub's obligations under this Section 10.1, or (Y) any claim by any Employee to
the extent arising out of the Acquisition or the termination of such Employee's
employment in connection with the Acquisition.

parties intend that Purchaser shall be treated as a "successor employer" to
Seller within the meaning of Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-2.
With respect to all New Purchaser Employees, Purchaser shall offer health care
coverage to such employees that is substantially similar in the aggregate to the
health care coverage such employees had prior to the Acquisition. The parties
intend that no COBRA continuation coverage shall be available to the New
Purchaser Employees as a result of the Acquisition. To the extent required by
law and provided that Seller does not maintain any group health plan in the
United States after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall make COBRA continuation
coverage available under an Assumed Employee Plan or one of its group health
plans to those Employees who do not become New Purchaser Employees upon the
Acquisition and to any other persons who are qualified beneficiaries receiving
COBRA continuation coverage under a group health plan of Seller at the Closing
Date or eligible to elect COBRA continuation coverage on the Closing Date.
(ii) As soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date, but in
no event less than one day prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall adopt all
corporate resolutions necessary to terminate the qualified retirement plan
maintained by the Seller (the "Seller 401(k) Plan"), effective no later than one
day prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall also adopt such amendments to the
Seller 401(k) Plan as are necessary to assure that said plan retains its
tax-qualified status through the date of its termination. As soon as practicable
prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall contribute to the Seller 401(k) Plan all
contributions, including but not limited to employee deferrals and related
matching contributions, required or necessary under the terms of said plan to
provide for benefits accrued as of the date of the termination of the Seller
401(k) Plan. Seller shall, if practicable and if not, Purchaser shall notify all
employees of the termination of the Seller 401(k) Plan. Purchaser shall permit
direct rollovers of distributions from the Seller 401(k) Plan into its qualified
retirement plan, including direct rollovers in kind of any participant loans
from the Seller 401(k) Plan if the transfer of the loans is administratively
feasible. In no event shall the Seller 401(k) Plan be an Assumed Employee Plan.
Seller will cooperate with Purchaser and cause all necessary and proper
documents to be executed. Purchaser shall be obligated at its expense to
administer the termination of the Seller 401(k) Plan, including drafting
necessary amendments, submission of the Seller 401(k) Plan for a determination
letter, distributing account balances and filing all necessary documents and
returns with the Internal Revenue Service.

Sub shall assume the Employee Plans listed on Schedule 10.1(d)(iii) of the
Seller Disclosure Schedule which they are required under the laws of the
applicable jurisdictions to continue or assume or which they, with the consent
of Seller and the Intactix Subs, as appropriate, have agreed to continue or
assume (the "Assumed Employee Plans"). Seller and the Intactix Subs agree to do
all things reasonably necessary to accomplish the continuation or assumption of
the Assumed Employee Plans, including, with respect to private plans, the
transfer to Purchaser or the designated JDA Sub of cash, insurance contracts and
other assets to fully fund the Benefit Obligations of the Sellers under such
plans as of the Closing Date, and shall not withhold their consent if such
Employee Plans are capable, under the laws of the applicable jurisdictions, of
being continued or assumed.

to, indemnify, save and hold harmless, in accordance with and subject to the

Plan, regardless of whether the Losses relate to or arise out
of conditions, events or transactions which exist or occur
prior to, on or after the Closing Date; and
(B) any Assumed Employee Plan, to the extent such Losses
relate to or arise out of conditions, events or transactions
which exist or occur on or prior to the Closing Date.
Purchaser shall, or shall cause a JDA Sub to, indemnify, save
and hold harmless, in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of ARTICLE XII hereof, Seller and the Intactix Subs
from and against any and all Losses related to Assumed
Employee Plans, to the extent such Losses relate to or arise
out of conditions, events or transactions which first exist or
occur following the Closing Date.
(e) No Solicitation or Hiring of Former Employees.
(i) Parent and Seller each agree and Parent and Seller agree
to cause each Intactix Sub to agree that, for a period of three (3) years after
the Closing Date, it shall not, and it shall not permit its subsidiaries and
Affiliates to, without first obtaining the written consent of Purchaser, which
consent may be withheld for any reason, directly or indirectly hire, solicit or
attempt to solicit any New Purchaser Employee or any other person who is
employed by Purchaser or any JDA Sub or the subsidiaries or Affiliates of
Purchaser or any JDA Sub in the Business to leave his or her employer or to
become an employee of Parent, Seller, any Intactix Sub, or any of subsidiaries
or Affiliates of Parent, Seller or any Intactix Sub.

her employer or to become an employee of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or
Affiliates.

shall confer any rights or remedies on any Employee (including without
limitation any New Purchaser Employee) and no person (including without
limitation any New Purchaser Employee) shall be a person's beneficiary with
respect to any provision in this Agreement.

for and obligated to pay, and shall cause each Intactix Sub to become jointly
and severally responsible for and obligated to pay, and shall indemnify and hold

and any Affiliates of Purchaser and or any JDA Sub harmless, in accordance with
and subject to the provisions of ARTICLE XII hereof, from, any and all
liabilities with respect to New Purchaser Consultants for (A) payment for
services which were supplied to Parent, Seller and/or any Intactix Sub by such
persons prior to the Closing Date, (B) filing all tax returns required with
respect to such services, and (C) withholding or employment Taxes or benefits
under any Employee Plan which accrue or become payable with respect to such
services as a result of a determination by an appropriate Government Entity that
such individual is Parent's, Seller's or any Intactix Sub's employee under
applicable law.
(b) Purchaser shall be responsible and shall cause each JDA Sub to
be responsible for and obligated to pay, and shall indemnify and hold and cause
each JDA Sub to indemnify and hold harmless, in accordance with and subject to
the provisions of ARTICLE XII hereof, Parent, Seller and each Intactix Sub from,
any and all liabilities with respect to independent contractors or other
individuals provided by third parties whom Purchaser, any JDA Sub or any
Affiliate of Purchaser or any Intactix Sub engages to supply services for (A)
payment for services which are provided to Purchaser, any JDA Sub or any
Affiliate of Purchaser or any JDA Sub by such persons after the Closing Date,
(B) filing all tax returns required with respect to such services, and (C)
withholding or employment Taxes or benefits under any of Purchaser's Employee
Plans which accrue or become payable with respect to such services as a result

10.3 Affiliate Distributor Agreements. Parent and Seller shall use and
shall cause each Intactix Sub to use reasonable commercial efforts to take such
actions as are necessary with respect to Affiliate Distributor Agreements in
order to terminate any such agreements with respect to any of the Products.
10.4 Obtaining Necessary Consents for Assignment of the Assumed
Contracts. To the extent not previously obtained prior to the Closing Date,
after the Closing Date Parent and Seller shall use and shall cause each Intactix
Sub to use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any and all consents
necessary for the effective assignment to and assumption by Purchaser or the
applicable JDA Sub of the Assumed Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
"reasonable commercial efforts" shall not include any obligation on the part of
Seller or any Intactix Sub to pay any fee or offer or grant any other financial
accommodation to any third party for the purpose of obtaining any such consent
or pay any costs and expenses of any third party resulting from the process of
obtaining any such consent. All such consents shall be in writing in a form
45
46
reasonably acceptable to counsel to Purchaser and executed counterparts thereof
shall be delivered promptly to Purchaser. Seller shall not agree, and shall not
permit any Intactix Sub to agree, to any modification of any Assumed Contract in
the course of obtaining any such consent, where such modification would
materially and adversely effect Purchaser's or any JDA Sub's ability to continue
the Business as heretofore conducted. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
in the event consents to the assignment of such Assumed Contracts cannot be
obtained prior to the Closing Date, such Assumed Contracts shall be held, as and
from the Closing Date, by Seller or Intactix Sub party thereto in trust for
Purchaser or the Corresponding JDA Sub, and the covenants and obligations
thereunder (related to the Assets or Assumed Liabilities) shall be performed by
Purchaser or such Corresponding JDA Sub in such Seller's or such Intactix Sub's
name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder (related to the
Business, Assets or Assumed Liabilities) shall be for Purchaser's or such
Corresponding JDA Sub's account (provided, however, that such performance by
Purchaser or such Corresponding JDA Sub shall be contingent on the passing of
all such benefits of such Assumed Contracts to Purchaser). Parent and Seller
shall take or cause to be taken, and shall cause each Intactix Sub to take or
cause to be taken, such actions in its name or otherwise as Purchaser or any JDA
Sub may reasonably request, at Purchaser's expense, so as to provide Purchaser
or the applicable JDA Sub with the benefits of the Assumed Contracts and to
effect collection of money or other consideration to become due and payable
under the Assumed Contracts, and Parent and Seller shall promptly pay over and
cause each Intactix Sub to promptly pay over to Purchaser or the applicable JDA
Sub all money or other consideration received by it in respect to all Assumed
Contracts. As of and from the Closing Date, each of Parent and Seller authorizes
and shall cause each Intactix Sub to authorize Purchaser, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and the terms of the Assumed Contracts, at
Purchaser's expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits
of Seller and each Intactix Sub under the Assumed Contracts (as they relate to
the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities) and appoints Purchaser and each
Corresponding JDA Sub its attorney-in-fact to act in its name and on its behalf
with respect thereto.
10.5 Covenant Not to Compete.
(a) For a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, each of
Parent and Seller covenants and agrees that it will not and it will not permit
any Intactix Sub to engage in the Business.
(b) For a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, each of
Parent and Seller covenants and agrees that it will not directly or indirectly
and it will not permit any Intactix Sub, or any Affiliate of Parent, Seller or
any Intactix Sub, to enter into any relationship with a Competitor Retail
Software Vendor involving development, marketing, selling or supporting
merchandise planning software products to customers in the retail or consumer
packaged goods industries directly competitive with the Products. To the full
extent of its legal right to do so, Parent and Seller shall require each
Intactix Sub and each Affiliate of Parent, Seller or any Intactix Sub to comply
with the foregoing provisions.
(c) To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, the
restrictions set forth in this Section 10.5 shall be effective within all
cities, counties and states of the United States, and all other countries in
which Seller has engaged in licensing or sales activities or otherwise
46
47
conducted business or selling or licensing efforts during the two (2) year
period ending on the Closing Date.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 10.5 shall prohibit Parent,
Seller and the Intactix Subs from owning up to two percent (2%) of the
outstanding shares of any class of equity securities of a corporation or other
entity engaged in any such prohibited activity whose securities are listed on a
national or international securities exchange or quoted daily in the
over-the-counter listings of The Wall Street Journal or from being acquired by
such a corporation or other entity.
(e) Each of Parent and Seller agrees that the terms and time
period provided for, and the geographical area encompassed by, the covenants
contained in this Section 10.5 are necessary and reasonable in order to protect
Purchaser and each Intactix Sub in the conduct of the Business and the
utilization of the Assets, tangible and intangible, including the goodwill of
Parent and Seller relating to the Business, acquired pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) If any court having jurisdiction at any time hereafter shall
hold any provision or clause of this Section 10.5 to be unreasonable as to its
scope, territory or term, and if such court in its judgment or decree shall
declare or determine that scope, territory or term which such court deems to be
reasonable, then such scope, territory or term, as the case may be, shall be
deemed automatically to have been reduced or modified to conform to that
declared or determined by such court to be reasonable.
(g) It is expressly agreed that monetary damages would be
inadequate to compensate Purchaser for any breach by Parent, Seller, any
Intactix Sub or any Affiliate of Parent, Seller or any Intactix Sub of the
covenants as set forth in this Section 10.5 and, accordingly, that in the event
of any breach or threatened breach by any such party of any such covenant,
Purchaser and each JDA Sub will be entitled to seek and obtain preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition
to any other remedies at law or in equity to which Purchaser may be entitled.
The provisions of this Section 10.5 are in addition to and not in lieu of any
similar agreements or covenants in any Business Transfer Agreement.
(h) The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall terminate and be of
no further force and effect upon the closing of any (A) merger or consolidation
of Seller or Parent in which the holders of capital stock of Seller or Parent,
as applicable, immediately prior to such merger or consolidation fail to hold at
least 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the surviving entity
following such transaction, or (B) the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of Parent.
10.6 Access to Business Records. From and after the Closing Date,
Purchaser shall use ordinary care to maintain the Business Records acquired by
it pursuant hereto and, damage by fire or other casualty or accident excepted,
shall not for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date destroy or
dispose of any such Business Records unless it shall first have notified Parent
of its intention to do so and shall have afforded Parent an opportunity to take
possession thereof. Parent and Seller shall have the right to retain a copy of
the Business Records, except for the customer lists. Similarly, from and after
the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall use ordinary care to maintain its copy
of the Business Records and of any records relating to the
47
48
Business not transferred to Purchaser or any Intactix Sub and, protect all such
Business Records and other records relating to the Business not transferred from
damage by fire or other casualty or accident and shall not for a period of six
(6) years after the Closing Date destroy or dispose of any such records unless
it shall first have notified Purchaser of its intention to do so and shall have
afforded Purchaser an opportunity to take possession thereof. From and after the
Closing Date, each party shall afford the other access to all preclosing
Business Records and other information acquired or retained by it pursuant
hereto, including data processing information, upon reasonable notice during
ordinary business hours for all reasonable business purposes, and each party
shall permit the other party to make copies of any such records and retain
possession of such copies. Parent and Seller shall use and shall cause each
Intactix Sub to use and Purchaser shall use and cause each JDA Sub to use
reasonable care to maintain the confidentiality of the Business Records in the
possession of such party pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 10.7 hereof.
10.7 Confidentiality.
(a) Definition. As used in this Agreement, the term "Confidential
Information" shall mean any trade secrets and other confidential or proprietary
business, technical, personnel or financial information, in written, graphic,
oral or other tangible or intangible forms, including but not limited to
specifications, samples, records, data, computer programs, drawings, diagrams,
models, customer names, business or marketing plans, studies, analysis,
projections and reports, communications by or to attorneys (including
attorney-client privileged communications), memos and other materials prepared
by attorneys or under their direction (including attorney work product), and
software systems and processes. Any information which is not readily available
to the public shall be considered to be a trade secret and confidential and
proprietary, even if it is not specifically marked as such, unless the
disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") advises the other party ("Recipient")
otherwise in writing.
(b) Non-Disclosure Obligation. Each Recipient shall treat as
confidential all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and shall not
disclose any such Confidential Information conveyed to the Recipient from any
source prior to the Closing. It is expressly understood and agreed that any such
Confidential Information conveyed to Recipient is intended for the Recipient's
internal use only to perform Recipient's obligations hereunder, and shall be
protected by the Recipient with the same diligence, care, and precaution (but in
no event less than reasonable care) that the Recipient uses to protect its own
Confidential Information. Both parties agree not to disclose the specific
contents or provisions of this Agreement without the prior express written
consent of the other party, except as required under applicable law or stock
exchange requirements. Either party may disclose Confidential Information of the
other party to third parties provided that: (i) the disclosure of such
Confidential Information is pursuant and necessary to the performance of the
Recipient's obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) such third party agrees
to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.7.
(c) Exceptions to Confidentiality Obligation. No party shall have
any obligation with respect to disclosure and use of information to the extent
such information:
(i) Is or becomes generally available to the public other
than as a consequence of a breach of an obligation of confidentiality by the
Recipient;
48
49
(ii) Is made public by the Disclosing Party;
(iii) Is independently developed by Recipient;
(iv) Is received from a third party independent of either
party without breaching an obligation of confidentiality; or
(v) Is required to be disclosed by operation of law.
(d) Injunctive Relief. Purchaser, Parent and Seller agree that it
would be extremely difficult to measure the amount of damages to the other party
from a breach or a threatened breach of any covenant contained in this Section
10.7, and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that in such
event the damaged party shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive
relief to restrain the other party from such breach or threatened breach. In the
event that any covenant made in this Section 10.7 shall be more restrictive than
permitted by applicable law, it shall be limited to the extent which it is
permitted. Nothing in this Section 10.7 shall be construed as preventing either
party from pursuing any and all remedies available for a breach or threatened
breach of a covenant made in this Section 10.7, including the recovery of
monetary damages from the other party (and/or its employees).
(e) Ownership of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise
provided for in this Agreement, Recipient agrees that all Confidential
Information acquired by Recipient's personnel, by Recipient or its employees,
subcontractors or agents hereunder shall be and shall remain the Disclosing
Party's exclusive property
10.8 Tax Liability. Seller shall pay all transfer, sales, use, value
added taxes or other transfer taxes relating to the transfer of the Assets to
Purchaser at the Closing; provided, however, Purchaser shall reimburse Parent or
Seller for fifty percent (50%) of all transfer, sales, use, value added taxes or
other transfer taxes relating to the transfer of the Assets to Purchaser at the
Closing.
10.9 Tax Returns. Parent and Seller will be responsible and will cause
each Intactix Sub to be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax
Returns for Taxes accrued by Parent, Seller and each Intactix Sub, respectively,
for any period ending before the Closing Date. Parent and Seller will make and
will cause each Intactix Sub to make all payments required with respect to any
such Tax Return; provided however, that Purchaser will reimburse Seller and will
cause each JDA Sub to reimburse each Corresponding Intactix Sub concurrently
therewith to the extent any payment Seller or such Intactix Sub is making
relates to the Taxes accrued for any period commencing on and after the Closing
Date. Purchaser will be responsible and will cause each JDA Sub to be
responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for Taxes accruing
on and after the Closing Date. Purchaser will make all payments and will cause
each JDA Sub to make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Return;
provided, however, that Parent and Seller will reimburse Purchaser and will
cause each Intactix Sub to reimburse each Corresponding JDA Sub concurrently
therewith to the extent any payment Purchaser or such Corresponding JDA Sub,
respectively, is making relates to the Taxes accrued for any period ending
before the Closing Date.
49
50
10.10 Source Code. After the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall
cooperate and shall cause each Intactix Sub to cooperate with Purchaser and each
JDA Sub, and shall use reasonable commercial efforts to locate and shall cause
each Intactix Sub to use reasonable commercial efforts to locate all copies of
the Source Code for each of the Products and prepare a definitive list setting
forth the location and the Person who is in possession of each such copy.
10.11 Communications Plan; Press Release. Purchaser, Parent and Seller
shall use their respective reasonable commercial efforts to carry out the
communications plan as agreed to between the parties as of the date of this
Agreement with respect to communications to their respective customers,
suppliers, employees, investors and strategic partners concerning the
transactions contemplated hereby. Upon the Closing, each of Purchaser and Parent
shall issue a press release concerning the Acquisition which press release shall
be approved as to form and content by each party, which approvals shall be
timely delivered and shall not be unreasonably withheld.
10.12 Post Closing Access. For purposes of facilitating the closing up
and winding down of any entities, operations or assets of Parent or Seller
relating to the Business and not acquired hereunder by Purchaser, Purchaser
shall provide representatives of Parent or Seller with access, at reasonable
times, for reasonable duration and following reasonable notice, to the Business
Records and former Employees hired by Purchaser or any of the JDA Subs.
10.13 Further Assurances of Parent and Sellers. Parent and Seller
shall, from time to time, at the request of Purchaser, and without further
consideration, execute and deliver such instruments of transfer, conveyance and
assignment in addition to those delivered pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 9.3
hereof, and take such other actions, as may be reasonably necessary to assign,
transfer, convey and vest in Purchaser, and to put Purchaser and each JDA Sub in
possession of, the Assets.
10.14 Further Assurances of Purchaser. Purchaser shall, from time to
time at the request of Parent, and without further consideration, execute and
deliver such instruments of assumption, and take such other action, as may be
reasonably necessary to effectively confirm the assumption by Purchaser and each
Intactix Sub of the Assumed Liabilities.
10.15 Additional Covenants of Purchaser.
(a) Purchaser shall complete and shall cause each JDA Sub, as
applicable, to complete consulting and implementation services
obligations and work in process under any Assumed Contract as
of the Closing Date.
(b) Purchaser shall fulfill and shall cause each JDA Sub to
fulfill the maintenance obligations of Seller and each
Corresponding Intactix Sub, respectively, under the Assumed
Contracts.

12.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations
and warranties made by Parent, Seller and Purchaser herein, or in any

obligations set forth in Section 10.1(a)(iii) hereof shall not be limited to
amounts in excess of the Purchaser Floor as set forth in the preceding sentence.
(c) The provisions of Section 12.3(b) above shall not limit, in
any manner, Purchaser's obligation to indemnify members of the Seller Group for
any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser to be performed by
Purchaser following the Closing Date, including, without limitation, Purchaser's
obligation to perform and discharge or cause the performance and discharge of
all Assumed Liabilities, and to perform Purchaser's obligations arising under
the Transaction Agreements.
(d) Each of Parent and Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that
its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all Seller Losses shall be
pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 12.3. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Parent and Seller hereby waive, to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of
action, other than those based upon or relating to Parent's and Seller's rights
under this ARTICLE XII against Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates
relating to any Seller Loss; provided however, that nothing in this Section 12.3
shall limit, in any manner, any remedy at law or in equity which Parent or
Seller or any Affiliates thereof shall be entitled against Purchaser or any
Affiliate (i) under Section 10.7(d) hereof or (ii) as a result of any willful
fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Purchaser.
12.4 Procedures for Indemnification.
(a) As used in this ARTICLE XII, the term "Indemnitor" means the
party against whom indemnification hereunder is sought, and the term
"Indemnitee" means the party seeking indemnification hereunder.
55
56
(b) A claim for indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnification
Claim," including for these provisions, an Infringement Claim) shall be made by
Indemnitee by delivery of a written notice to Indemnitor requesting
indemnification and specifying the basis on which indemnification is sought in
reasonable detail (and shall attach relevant documentation related to the
Indemnification Claim), the amount of the asserted Purchaser Losses or Seller
Losses, as the case may be, and, in the case of a Third Party Claim, containing
(by attachment or otherwise) such other information as Indemnitee shall have
concerning such Third Party Claim.
(c) If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third Party Claim,
then the procedures set forth in Section 12.5 hereof shall be observed by
Indemnitee and Indemnitor.
(d) If the Indemnification Claim involves a matter other than a
Third Party Claim (as defined below), Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days to
object to such Indemnification Claim by delivery of a written notice of such
objection to Indemnitee specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such
objection. Failure to timely so object shall constitute a final and binding
acceptance of the Indemnification Claim by Indemnitor, and the Indemnification
Claim shall thereafter be paid by Indemnitor in accordance with Section 12.4(e)
hereof. If an objection is timely delivered by Indemnitor and the dispute is not
resolved within twenty (20) business days from the delivery of such objection
(the "Negotiation Period"), such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in
accordance with the provisions of Section 13.10 hereof.
(e) Upon determination of the amount of an Indemnification Claim,
whether by (i) an agreement between Indemnitor and Indemnitee, (ii) an
arbitration award or (iii) a final judgment (after expiration of all periods for
appeal of such judgment) or other final nonappealable order, Indemnitor shall
pay the amount of such Indemnification Claim by check or wire transfer within
ten (10) days of the date such amount is determined.
12.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. Should any claim be made, or suit
or proceeding (including, without limitation, a binding arbitration or an audit
by any taxing authority) be instituted against Indemnitee which, if prosecuted
successfully, would be a matter for which Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement (a "Third Party Claim"), the obligations
and liabilities of the parties hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Indemnitee shall give Indemnitor written notice of any such
claim promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice thereof. Any delay in
giving notice hereunder which does not materially prejudice Indemnitor, shall
not affect Indemnitee's rights to Indemnification hereunder. Indemnitor may, at
its option, (i) undertake control of the defense thereof by counsel of its own
choosing reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee or (ii) decline to assume control
of but participate in the defense thereof provided that such participation by
Indemnitee shall be at its own expense. Indemnitee may participate in the
defense through its own counsel at its own expense. The assumption of the
defense of any Third Party Claim by Indemnitor shall not be an acknowledgment by
Indemnitor that such Third Party Claim is subject to indemnification under the
provisions of this ARTICLE XII and that such provisions are binding on
Indemnitor. If, however, Indemnitor fails or refuses to undertake the defense of
such Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after written notice of such claim
has been delivered to
56
57
Indemnitor by Indemnitee, Indemnitee shall have the right to undertake the
defense, compromise and, subject to Section 12.6 hereof, settlement of such
Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing. In the circumstances
described in the preceding sentence, Indemnitee shall, promptly upon its
assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim, make an Indemnification
Claim as specified in Section 12.4(b) hereof which shall be deemed an
Indemnification Claim that is not a Third Party Claim for the purposes of the
procedures set forth herein. Failure of Indemnitee to furnish written notice to
Indemnitor of a Third Party Claim shall not release Indemnitor from Indemnitor's
obligations hereunder, except to the extent Indemnitor is prejudiced by such
failure.
(b) Indemnitee and Indemnitor shall cooperate with each other in
all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim,
including making available records relating to such claim and furnishing
employees of Indemnitee as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of
the defense of any such Third Party Claim or for testimony as witness in any
proceeding relating to such claim.
12.6 Settlement of Third Party Claims. No settlement by Indemnitee of a
Third Party Claim shall be made without the prior written consent by or on
behalf of Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If Indemnitor has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim as
contemplated by Section 12.5(a) hereof, no settlement of such Third Party Claim
may be made by Indemnitor without the prior written consent by or on behalf of
Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the
event of any dispute regarding the reasonableness of a proposed settlement, the
party that will bear the larger financial loss resulting from such settlement
shall make the final determination in respect thereto, which determination shall
be final and binding on all involved parties.
12.7 Escrow Fund. On the Closing Date, the Escrow Fund shall be
deposited by Purchaser with an escrow agent to be selected by Purchaser and
subject to the approval of Seller which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld (the "Escrow Agent"), and the Escrow Fund shall be governed by and
administered according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
Escrow Fund Agreement. Each of Parent and Seller acknowledges and agrees that
the Escrow Fund is not Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy or source of
satisfaction for Seller's indemnification obligations pursuant to this ARTICLE
XII.
12.8 Escrow Period. The period commencing on the Closing Date and
ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date shall be referred to as the
"Escrow Period."
12.9 Procedure for Claims Relating to Excluded Liabilities.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary,
Purchaser agrees that any Indemnification Claim, to the extent based upon or
relating to Excluded Liabilities within the coverage provisions of the Excluded
Liabilities Insurance Policy, shall be made as follows:
(i) Purchaser may submit any deductible, retention or like
amount under the Excluded Liabilities Insurance Policy for recovery from Seller
or Parent, or from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Fund
Agreement;
(ii) Purchaser shall submit any amounts in excess of the
amounts described in clause (i) above for recovery pursuant to the Excluded
Liabilities Insurance Policy;
57
58
(iii) Purchaser may submit a claim for any amounts constituting
a Specified Loss as defined in Section 10 of the Excluded Liabilities Insurance
Policy not recovered by Purchaser from Insurer within one hundred twenty (120)
days from the date an Indemnification Claim is properly submitted to the Insurer
under the Excluded Liabilities Insurance Policy for recovery from Seller or
Parent, or from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Fund
Agreement; and
(iv) Any party submitting any claim under the Excluded
Liabilities Insurance Policy shall concurrently provide notice thereof to the
other parties in accordance with Section 13.11 hereof.
12.10 Indemnification Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the aggregate liabilities of Parent, Seller and the Intactix
Subs for all Purchaser Losses shall not exceed the Purchase Price, as such
Purchase Price may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.6(d) hereof (the
"Indemnification Cap"). Except as set forth in the following sentence, in
determining whether the Indemnification Cap has been reached, all payments made
by Parent, Seller and any Intactix Sub directly to any member of the Purchaser
Group shall be taken into account. In addition to the foregoing, in determining
whether the Indemnification Cap has been reached relative to an Indemnification
Claim based upon or arising out of the Excluded Liabilities set forth in
Sections 2.4(c)(i) - 2.4(c)(v) hereof, payments made to any member of the
Purchaser Group pursuant to the Excluded Liabilities Insurance Policy shall also
be taken into account.
ARTICLE XIII
GENERAL
13.1 Governing Law. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
laws of the State of Delaware (irrespective of its choice of law principles)
shall govern the validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms, and
the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties
hereto.
13.2 Assignment; Binding upon Successors and Assigns. No party hereto
may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, that Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement (a)
to any majority-owned subsidiary of Purchaser, provided that Purchaser
guarantees the obligations of such subsidiary hereunder or (b) to any successor
of Purchaser through any merger or consolidation, or purchase of all or
substantially all of Purchaser's stock or all or substantially all of
Purchaser's assets. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
13.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be held to be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of
such provision to other persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as best
to reasonably effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree
to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a
valid and
58
59
enforceable provision which will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of the invalid or unenforceable provision.
13.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules
hereto, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior
and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions,
express or implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect hereto.
13.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
13.6 Expenses. The parties shall each pay their own Expenses incurred
incident to the negotiation, preparation and carrying out of this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated herein, whether or not the transactions
contemplated herein are consummated. All transfer Taxes and duties related to
the transfer of the Assets shall be divided evenly between Purchaser and Seller.
13.7 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all
remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party shall be deemed cumulative with
and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party,
and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other.
13.8 Amendment and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may
be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The
waiver by a party of any breach hereof for default in payment of any amount due
hereunder or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute
a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.
13.9 Waiver. Each party hereto may, by written notice to the others:
(a) waive any of the conditions to its obligations hereunder or extend the time
for the performance of any of the obligations or actions of the others, (b)
waive any inaccuracies in the representations of the others contained in this
Agreement or in any documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (c) waive
compliance with any of the covenants of the others contained in this Agreement
or (d) waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the others. No
action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation any
investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a
waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation,
warranty, condition or agreement contained herein. Waiver of the breach of any
one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be
a waiver of other breaches or subsequent breaches of the same provisions.
13.10 Arbitration.
(a) If any dispute relating to this Agreement arises between the
parties, and no agreement relating to such dispute can be reached after good
faith negotiation, either Purchaser, Parent or Seller may, by written notice to
the other, demand arbitration of the matter unless the
59
60
amount of the Loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in
which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained
or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall
be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator. Purchaser, Parent and
Seller shall agree on the arbitrator, provided that if Purchaser, Parent and
Seller cannot agree on such arbitrator, either Purchaser or Seller can request
that the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS") select the
arbitrator. The arbitrator 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, to
discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter
of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit
discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys'
fees and costs, to the same extent as a court of competent law or equity, should
the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial
justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial
justification. Subject to the foregoing, the arbitration shall proceed under the
rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrator
shall be written, shall be in accordance with applicable law and with this
Agreement, and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusion of
law which shall set forth the basis for the decision of the arbitrator. The
decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim shall be
binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement.
(b) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in
Phoenix, Arizona under the commercial rules then in effect of the American
Arbitration Association. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay
its own expenses, the fees of the arbitrator, any administrative fee of JAMS,
and the expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs, reasonably incurred by
the other party to the arbitration.

excepted therefrom are any limitations on enforceability under applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general
application affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights.
13.13 No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between any of

agent, employee or legal representative of any other party. No party shall have
the power to control the activities and operations of any other and their status
is, and at all times, will continue to be, that of independent contractors with

commit any other. No party shall hold itself out as having any authority or
relationship in contravention of this Section.

Agreement are intended, nor shall be interpreted, to provide or create any third
party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client,
customer, affiliate, shareholder, partner of any party hereto or any other

so provided, all provisions hereof shall be personal solely between the parties
to this Agreement.
