Buyer shall provide continuation health coverage, as required under COBRA (or similar state law), to all Business Employees and their eligible dependents who become M&A qualified beneficiaries (as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A-4).

(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.5, from and after the Closing, Seller shall assume or retain, as the case may be, and be solely responsible for all Benefits Liabilities arising under, resulting from or relating to the Employee Plans whether incurred before, on or after the Closing Date. As of the Closing, any existing employment agreement between the Seller and each Transferred Employee shall cease. In addition, Seller shall terminate, waive and release its rights under any covenants regarding non-competition, conflicting obligations and other rights under any agreements with the Transferred Employees, which termination, waiver and release shall be effective as of the Closing with respect to rights, duties and obligations to be fulfilled by the applicable Transferred Employee at any time after the Closing while employees of or consultants to Buyer or its Affiliates.

(d) [Intentionally omitted]

(e) Following the Closing Date, Transferred Employees shall be eligible on the date of hire to receive benefits maintained for similarly situated employees of Buyer, consistent with Buyer’s employee benefit plans and applicable human resources policies. Buyer will give Transferred Employees full credit for prior service at the Seller for purposes of eligibility, vesting and determination of the level of benefits under the Buyer 401(k) Plan or paid time off, as defined and recognized under Buyer’s employee benefit plans and consistent with Buyer’s applicable human resources policies; provided that such credit does not result in a duplication of benefits, compensation, incentive or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 7.5(e) shall be construed to entitle any Transferred Employee to continue his or her employment with Buyer or its Affiliates.

-43-

(f) Buyer shall cause its defined contribution plan intended to qualify under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) to provide for the receipt of Transferred Employees’ lump sum cash distributions from the Seller 401(k) Plan, in the form of an eligible rollover distribution, provided such rollovers are made at the election of the Transferred Employees and in accordance with the terms of the Buyer 401(k) Plan. Within 30 days following the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with such documents as Buyer shall reasonably request to assure itself that the accounts of the Transferred Employees would be eligible rollover distributions.

(g) With respect to any accrued but unused vacation time as of the Closing to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation policies of Seller in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Vacation Policy”), Seller shall pay out such accrued but unused vacation time in a lump sum cash payment.

(h) On the Closing, Buyer shall establish a retention plan for the Transferred Employees as described in Schedule 7.5(h) to encourage such employees to continue to work for Buyer after the consummation of the Transactions. Under such plan, each Transferred Employee shall receive retention incentives as set forth on Schedule 7.5(h).

(i) Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, deposit into an escrow account the aggregate amount set forth on Schedule 7.5(i) (the “Employee Retention Fund”), which escrowed funds shall be available, and reserved, for payment by Seller of additional bonuses to Transferred Employees that continue to be employed by Buyer on the dates set forth in Schedule 7.5(i), or in the event such employee resigns for “good reason”, is terminated by Buyer without “cause”, dies or is disabled prior to such date. The portion of the aggregate amount payable to each specific Transferred Employee shall be determined prior to Closing by Seller, subject to the reasonable consent of Buyer. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer does not, and shall not, have any right in or to the Employee Retention Fund under any circumstance, including without limitation in the event Seller fails to satisfy any of its obligations hereunder or upon any bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, composition, or arrangement with creditors (in any case, voluntary or involuntary) against Seller.

7.6 Tax Matters.

(a) Seller shall pay all Taxes arising out of the operations of the Business (including ownership of the Purchased Assets) with respect to transactions occurring, or periods (or portions thereof) ending, on or prior to the Closing Date. Such obligations shall be without regard to whether there was any breach of any representation or warranty under Article V with respect to such Tax or any disclosures that may otherwise have been made with respect to Article V.

(b) Seller and Buyer will each provide the other party with such assistance as may reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return relating to the Purchased Assets, or the audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to liability for Taxes arising out of the ownership of the Purchased Assets. Such assistance shall include the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, examination or proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any such material.

7.7 Regulatory and Other Approvals; Novations and Consents.

-44-

(a) Authorizations and Consents. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Buyer and Seller shall make all necessary or advisable filings with Governmental Entities, and use reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits, approvals, authorizations and consents of all third parties, required to consummate the Transactions. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to furnish promptly to each other all information that is not otherwise available to the other party and that such party may reasonably request in connection with any such filing.

(b) Novation and Assignment of Contracts.

(i) Seller shall seek the transfer (by novation or assignment) of all Assumed Contracts from Seller to Buyer, effective as of or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. For each Assumed Contract where consent of the other party is required for assignment, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent and approval of the other party or parties to that Assumed Contract to novate Seller’s obligations and rights to Buyer, so that Buyer is substituted for Seller under the Assumed Contract and Seller is relieved of all further Liabilities and rights. Failing approval for novation, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all required consents and approvals for assignment of the Assumed Contract from Seller to Buyer. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (x) require Seller to seek a novation or consent for assignment of a Contract where such assignment does not require consent, or (y) constitute an assignment or novation of any Assumed Contract if the attempted assignment or novation thereof without consent of the other party thereto would constitute a breach thereof or would be ineffective with respect to any party to such Assumed Contract.

(ii) In the event any Assumed Contract cannot be transferred in accordance with Section 7.7(b)(i), then as of the Closing, this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Law and the terms of the Assumed Contract, shall constitute full and equitable assignment by Seller to Buyer, of all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to, and assumption by Buyer of all of Seller’s Liabilities (other than Retained Liabilities) under, such Assumed Contract, and Buyer shall be deemed Seller’s agent for purpose of completing, fulfilling and discharging all of Seller’s liabilities thereunder. The parties shall take all necessary steps and actions to provide Buyer with the benefits of such Assumed Contract, and to relieve Seller of the performance and other obligations thereunder, including entry into subcontracts for the performance thereof.

(c) Alternative to Assignment. In the event Seller shall be unable to make the transfer of one or more Assumed Contracts as described in Section 7.7(b), or if such attempted assignment would give rise to any right of termination on the part of the other party to such Assumed Contract, or would otherwise materially and adversely affect the rights of Buyer under such Assumed Contract, or would not assign all of Seller’s rights thereunder at the Closing and provided Buyer waives Section 8.1(e) (if applicable) with respect thereto, from and after the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall continue to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents and approvals required to provide Buyer with all such rights. To the extent that any such consents and waivers are not obtained, or until the impediments to such assignment are resolved, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts (but without the expenditure, individually or in the aggregate, of any material sum) to (i) provide to Buyer, at the request of Buyer, the benefits of any such Assumed Contract to the extent related to the Business, (ii) cooperate in any lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer and (iii) enforce, at the request of and for the account of Buyer, any rights of Seller arising from any such Assumed Contract against any third Person (including any Governmental Entity) including the right to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the advice of Buyer. To the extent that Buyer is provided the benefits of any Assumed Contract referred to herein (whether from Seller or otherwise), Buyer shall perform on behalf of Seller and for the benefit of any third Person (including any Governmental Entity) the obligations of Seller thereunder or in connection therewith. To the extent that Buyer is provided the

-45-

benefits of any Assumed Contract referred to herein (whether from Seller or otherwise) and Buyer performs on behalf of Seller and for Seller thereunder or in connection therewith, Seller acknowledges and agrees that it will not charge Buyer for any general administrative costs or any additional profit margin of Seller thereunder or in connection therewith.

7.8 Records Retention. Each party agrees that for a period of not less than five years following the Closing Date, it shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities in its possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing. Each party shall have the right to destroy all or part of such books and records after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date or, at an earlier time by giving each other party hereto 20 days’ prior written notice of such intended disposition and by offering to deliver to the other party, at the other party’s expense, custody of such books and records as such first party may intend to destroy. Nothing herein shall prohibit a party from storing such books and records with an Affiliate or representative of such party.

7.9 [Intentionally Omitted].

7.10 Publicity. The parties agree that, from the date hereof through the Closing Date, no public release or announcement concerning the Transactions shall be issued without the prior consent of each party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by any Law or Order. The parties shall cooperate with each other to issue a joint press release concerning the Transactions following the date hereof and the Closing Date.

7.11 Confidentiality.

(a) Seller recognizes that by reason of Seller’s ownership of the Business and the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing and information provided by Buyer to Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions, Seller has acquired and will acquire Confidential Information related to the Business and Buyer, the use or disclosure of which could cause Buyer or its Affiliates substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, Seller covenants and agrees with Buyer that each of Seller and its Affiliates will not at any time, except in performance of its obligations to Buyer, directly or indirectly, use, disclose or publish, or permit other Persons to disclose or publish any Confidential Information related to the Business or Buyer, or use any such information in a manner detrimental to the interests of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, unless (i) such information becomes generally known to the public through no fault of Seller or an Affiliate thereof, (ii) the disclosing party is advised in writing by counsel that disclosure is required by Law or the order of any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction under color of Law, or (iii) the disclosing party reasonably believes that such disclosure is required in connection with the defense of a lawsuit against the disclosing party; provided, however, that prior to disclosing any information pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, such Person shall give prior written notice thereof to Buyer and provide Buyer with the opportunity to contest such disclosure and shall cooperate with efforts to prevent such disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 7.11 shall prohibit Seller (or its successor to the Readio Business) from using, disclosing or exercising any other rights at any time with respect to Confidential Information of Seller related to the Readio Business.

-46-

7.12 Further Information. Following the Closing, each party will afford to the other party, its counsel and its accountants, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the books and records relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities in its possession and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by the requesting party (a) to facilitate the investigation, litigation and final disposition of any claims that may have been or may be made against any party or its Affiliates, and (b) for any other reasonable business purpose. Each party hereto and its agents shall keep confidential and not disclose any information learned as a result of any examination conducted pursuant to this Section 7.12 to any other Person without the prior consent of the other party unless (i) the disclosure is in response to legal order or subpoena; or (ii) the terms are readily ascertainable from public or published information, or trade sources (without violation of the foregoing provisions of this sentence). Each party shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in assisting the other pursuant to this Section 7.12. Neither party shall be required by this Section 7.12 to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations.

7.13 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, Seller shall not, anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly, for Seller or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, engage itself or as an officer, director, manager, member, trustee, stockholder, beneficiary, owner, partner, joint venturer, investor, employee, independent contractor, agent, consultant, advisor, representative or otherwise, in any business involving the developing, selling, distributing or marketing of any product or service that uses speech recognition technology to teach or improve language, reading or cognitive skills in the K-12 School Market. For purposes of this section, the term “K-12 School Market” shall mean educational institutions that serve children approximately ages 5 through 18, including but not limited to public schools or school districts, private schools, charter schools, state and regional educational agencies and quasi-governmental bodies, and home schools (provided that such term shall not include sales to individual consumers for their own children being home-schooled, so long as the product is not marketed for home school purposes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may purchase or otherwise acquire up to three percent (3%) of the securities of any Person (but may not otherwise participate in the activities of such Person) engaged in such business if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(b) For a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, for Seller or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, employ or solicit the employment of any Transferred Employee; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply (i) to responses to or follow-up hiring in respect of general solicitations or advertisements for job positions not specifically directed to Transferred Employees or (ii) to any Transferred Employee who is terminated by Buyer after the Closing Date or terminates his or her employment with Buyer without any solicitation directly or indirectly from Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates.

(c) For a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, for Seller or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person:

-47-

(i) Solicit the business of any Person who is an active Customer with respect to services or products related to the Business; or

(ii) Cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any Customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of the Business to cease doing business with the Business or in any way interfere with its relationship with the Business.

(d) The parties agree that the foregoing covenants in this Section 7.13 impose a reasonable restraint on Seller in light of the activities and operations of the Business and Buyer and its Affiliates on the date of the execution of this Agreement.

7.14 Post-Closing Seller Payments. Seller shall pay all known Retained Liabilities when due or within a reasonable time period following the Closing, except in case of any such amounts that are disputed in good faith by Seller; provided that prior to any dissolution or liquidation of Seller, all known Retained Liabilities shall be paid or fully reserved for and all other Retained Liabilities shall be reasonably reserved for.

7.15 Tangible Business Property. Seller shall take all actions necessary to cause all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Business Tangible Property to be transferred to Buyer as of the Closing Date.

7.16 License Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith a license agreement, which agreement shall include the terms set forth on Schedule 7.16 and shall be in a form satisfactory to Buyer (the “License Agreement”).

7.17 Lease Assignment. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith an agreement providing for the assignment and assumption of Seller’s interest in the Lease Agreements, which agreement shall be in a form satisfactory to Buyer and shall assign to Buyer the Lease Agreements on the terms currently existing in such agreements (the “Lease Assignment”).

7.18 Post-Closing Seller Bonus Payments. Simultaneously with the Closing, Seller shall make cash bonus payments to the individuals who were employees of Seller listed, and in the amounts specified, in Schedule 7.18.

INDEMNIFICATION; SURVIVAL

9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer made in this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, and the provisions of Section 7.4(b), shall survive the Closing Date and continue in full force and effect until the expiration of fifteen (15) months from the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements of Seller and Buyer made in this Agreement (other than Section 7.4(b)) shall survive the Closing Date and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. The indemnification obligations set forth in Section 9.2(a)(ii), (iii), (v) and (vi) shall continue and survive indefinitely and those set forth in Section 9.2(a)(iv) shall continue and survive for twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date. No claim or proceeding may be commenced after the expiration of the applicable survival periods with respect to any alleged breach of the representations and warranties or Section 7.4(b) or Section 9.2(a)(iv), provided that the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article IX with respect to the foregoing shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable survival period, previously made a claim in writing pursuant to this Article IX and, if applicable, the Escrow Agreement, setting forth in reasonable detail the grounds for indemnification hereunder.

9.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX, following the Closing, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Buyer, including each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), against all Losses paid, incurred or suffered, by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any of them, arising from or in connection with:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement (other than Section 7.4(b)) of Seller contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(iii) any of the Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities;

(iv) any matter disclosed on Schedule 9.2(a)(iv);

(v) any matter disclosed on Schedule 9.2(a)(v); and

(vi) any act of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller related to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

-51-

provided that, in the event of any such breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty which includes any qualification as to “materiality” or “Business Material Adverse Effect”, for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss with respect to such breach or inaccuracy, no effect will be given to such qualification as to “materiality” or “Business Material Adverse Effect” contained therein (for the avoidance of doubt, such qualifications would continue to apply to the determination as to whether or not a breach or inaccuracy had occurred). Seller (including any officer, director or Affiliate of Seller) shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to any Loss claimed by a Buyer Indemnified Party.

(b) Indemnity Limitations. Notwithstanding Section 9.2(a), Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 9.2(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate Losses thereunder (whenever suffered and whether arising from a single breach or inaccuracy in a representation or warranty or from multiple breaches or inaccuracies of the same or different representations and warranties) exceed $50,000 (the “Basket”), after which Seller shall be liable for all Losses, including the amount of the Basket; provided that any individual claim or series of related claims arising after the Basket has been satisfied shall not be eligible for indemnification by Seller under Section 9.2(a)(i) unless the aggregate indemnifiable amount of such individual claim or series of related claims is at least equal to $5,000; provided further that the aggregate liability of Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Escrow Amount less the Shortfall Amount, if any (the “Representation Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) neither the Basket nor the Representation Cap shall apply to any act of fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of Seller or Seller’s obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses under Sections 9.2(a)(ii) through (vi), inclusive, and (ii) Seller’s obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses under Sections 9.2(a)(i) through (vi), inclusive, shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to $10,700,000. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach or alleged breach of Section 7.4(b) shall be deemed for all purposes of this Article IX to be covered by Section 9.2(a)(i) rather than by Section 9(a)(ii).

(c) Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX, following the Closing, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, including each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), against all Losses paid, incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties, or any of them, arising from or in connection with the Assumed Contracts or Assumed Liabilities.

9.3 Claims for Indemnification; Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Any indemnification to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled under Section 9.2(a)(i) above as a result of Losses it may suffer or incur shall be satisfied solely from the Escrow Amount, and any indemnification to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled under Sections 9.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (v) above as a result of Losses it may suffer or incur shall be satisfied first from the Escrow Amount. In the event of any such Losses, Buyer shall make a claim for payment of such Losses by written notice to the Escrow Agent and Seller of such claim and requesting release of funds to satisfy such claim, in each case in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Such notice and request shall be processed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement prior to the release of any funds to Buyer. The provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer for monetary damages resulting from a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or otherwise in connection with the Transactions, other than for any claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Anything contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Buyer Indemnified Parties nor Seller Indemnified Parties

-52-

shall be entitled to incidental, consequential, punitive or other indirect Losses other than lost profits (subject to Section 7.4(c) hereof).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, the right of any Indemnified Party to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedies will not be affected in any way by any investigation conducted or knowledge (whether actual, constructive or imputed) acquired at any time by such Indemnified Party with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with or performance of, any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation.

9.4 Resolution of Conflicts. In case Seller delivers an Objection Notice (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with respect to any claim for indemnification submitted by Buyer to the Escrow Agent, Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each claim to which Seller has objected in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If Seller and Buyer should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement and specifying the amount, if any, to be distributed to Buyer from the escrowed funds shall be prepared and signed by both parties, and such memorandum shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent for distribution of funds to Buyer in accordance therewith. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and within 30 days after delivery of an Objection Notice, either Buyer or Seller may commence litigation with respect to such claim(s) in accordance with Sections 11.2 through 11.5 inclusive.

9.5 Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event of the assertion or commencement by any third party of a claim, suit or proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”) which a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (as applicable, an “Indemnified Party”) reasonably believes will entitle such Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Article IX, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of such Third Party Claim; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not limit the obligations of such indemnifying party under this Article IX except to the extent materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnifying party will have the right to assume and control, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, if the indemnifying party notifies the Indemnified Party that it will indemnify the Indemnified Party, notwithstanding any other provision of or limitation on such indemnifying party’s liability under this Agreement, against any and all Losses arising out of such Third Party Claim and that it intends to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party must conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter; and provided further that the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel retained by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (x) there exists a material legal conflict between the interests of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party that could reasonably be expected to result in material prejudice to the Indemnified Party, or (y) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense, retain counsel and actively and diligently pursue such defense and such failure could reasonably be expected to result in material prejudice to the Indemnified Party. The indemnifying party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party

-53-

Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) In the event (i) the Third Party Claim seeks to impose any obligation or restriction upon the Indemnified Party other than, or in addition to, money damages, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim in an active and diligent manner and such failure could reasonably be expected to result in material prejudice to the Indemnified Party, (A) the Indemnified Party may assume and conduct the defense against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it deems appropriate in good faith, and (B) the indemnifying party will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer as a result of the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article IX; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided further that the indemnifying party may retain separate co-counsel and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its own expense.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:

(a) By the mutual written consent of the parties hereto;

(b) By either Buyer on the one hand or Seller on the other hand (by written notice to the other party) if (i) the consummation of the Transactions shall violate any Order that shall have become final and nonappealable or (ii) there shall be a Law that makes the Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited;

(c) By either Buyer on the one hand or Seller on the other hand, by giving written notice to the other party, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the non-terminating party if such non-terminating party fails to cure such breach within 10 business days following written notification thereof by the terminating party;

(d) By Buyer if any condition in Section 8.1 has not been satisfied by January 31, 2008; provided that the failure of such condition to be satisfied is not caused by a breach of this Agreement by Buyer, and Buyer has not waived such condition on or before such date; or

(e) By Seller if any condition in Section 8.2 has not been satisfied by January 31, 2008; provided that the failure of such condition to be satisfied is not caused by a breach of this Agreement by Seller, and Seller has not waived such condition on or before such date.

10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as permitted by Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the following provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect: Sections 7.10 (Publicity) and 7.11 (Confidentiality), this Section 10.2, and Article XI. Nothing in this Section 10.2 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this

-54-

Agreement or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Expenses. Whether or not the Transactions are consummated, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand shall bear their respective fees, costs and expenses (including legal and accounting fees) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions.

11.2 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law principles that would require the application of any other Law.

11.3 Enforcement. Each party hereto acknowledges that the other party will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any party of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, including the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 7.11 and the non-compete and non-solicitation obligations set forth in Section 7.13. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements, each party hereto shall have the right to seek injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to obtain specific performance of, the other party’s covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.

11.4 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any court within San Francisco County, State of California, in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the matters contemplated herein or therein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of California for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and such process.

11.5 Attorneys’ Fees. If any action, suit or other proceeding for the enforcement of this Agreement is brought with respect to or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions hereof, the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to Article IX, recovery of attorney’s fees shall be governed by the provisions of Article IX and, if applicable, the Escrow Agreement.

11.6 Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents will operate as a

-55-

waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which one party may be entitled can be discharged by the other party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the party entitled to the right or claim; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. Any extension or waiver by any party of any provision hereto shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

11.7 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given to a party (a) upon being delivered by hand and signed for by a representative of such party, (b) upon the first or second business day, as applicable, after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid), or (c) upon sending by facsimile with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting equipment, in each case to the following:

11.8 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall not be assigned or transferred by either party (including by operation of law or in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all the assets, stock or membership interests of such party) without the prior written consent of the other party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Buyer may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any of its Affiliates; provided further, however, that Buyer shall remain liable to Seller for all of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the permitted assigns of the parties. Any attempted assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be null and void and have no effect.

11.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for Indemnified Parties as contemplated in Article IX, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and such assigns, any legal or equitable rights, remedy or claim hereunder.

11.10 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

11.11 Interpretation, Exhibits and Schedules. The headings contained in this Agreement, in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto and in the table of contents to this Agreement, are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Except when the context otherwise requires, references to Sections, Articles, Exhibits or Schedules contained herein refer to Sections, Articles, Exhibits or Schedules of this Agreement. All Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit, but not otherwise defined therein, shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement. All accounting terms shall have the meaning specified by GAAP unless otherwise specified. All references to “Dollars” or “$” shall mean U.S. Dollars unless otherwise specified.

11.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (which includes the Schedules hereto) and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior oral and written agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter, other than that certain Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement dated as of October 3, 2007, between the Seller and the Buyer, which provision shall continue in full force and effect as between the parties thereto until the Closing.

11.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof.

11.14 Mutual Drafting. The parties hereto are sophisticated and have been represented by attorneys who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not intend that the presumptions of any laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement and therefore waive their effects.

11.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, both of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when both such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. Any signature delivered by facsimile shall be binding to the same extent as an original signature page with regard to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any amendments thereof, subject to the terms thereof. A party that delivers a signature page in this manner agrees to later deliver an original counterpart signature page to the other party.

11.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EITHER OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
