Buyer shall be responsible for providing timely notice under WARN, CA WARN and any other Notice Laws to the extent required relative to any employment loss or other actions which take place on or after the Closing (except with respect to any employee listed on Schedule 1.3 and any employee terminated prior to the Closing Date). In the event Buyer terminates the employment of any Hired Employee on or after the Closing Date, Buyer shall comply with any severance payment, notice period or other obligation required under WARN, CA WARN and any other Notice Laws, and Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any Losses arising from or relating to any breach of this Section 2.8(c).

COVENANTS

Seller and Buyer hereby covenant that during the period from and after the date hereof to and including the Closing Date as follows:

Section 5.1 Access to Information and Records. Subject to the procedures set forth below, at or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and its financing sources shall be entitled, through their respective representatives and agents, to make such investigation of the Business and such examination of the books, records, financial condition and operations of the Business as Buyer or its financing sources may reasonably request. Any such investigation and examination shall be conducted at reasonable times and under reasonable circumstances and Seller shall cooperate fully therein, including cooperating with its accountants, consultants, agents and attorneys. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer agrees not to contact Seller’s customers, suppliers and employees prior to Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller. Buyer and its Affiliates and financing sources shall keep confidential and shall not use or disclose in any manner inconsistent with this Agreement, except in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, any information or documents obtained from Seller concerning Seller’s assets, including the Transferred Assets, properties, business, including the Business, and operations, unless (i) readily ascertainable from public or published information, or trade sources, (ii) already known or subsequently developed by Buyer independently of any investigation of Seller, (iii) received from a third party not under an obligation to Seller to keep such information confidential or (iv) required by any law or order; provided, however, that following Closing, the restrictions on use and disclosure shall not apply to any information or documents which are included in the Transferred Assets. In the event this transaction does not close for any reason, Buyer and its Affiliates and financing sources shall return or destroy all such information, documents and compilations thereof as reasonably requested by Seller.

Section 5.2 Confidentiality. Unless required by law, no Party will issue any press release or make any other public announcement regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided however that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may issue any press release or make any other public announcement

regarding the Closing without the consent of any other Party. Each of Seller, Parent and Buyer will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information of the other Parties, refrain from using or disclosing in any manner any of the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party except in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, and deliver promptly to the disclosing Party or destroy, at the request and option of the disclosing Party, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information of such Party which are in its possession. In the event that any Party is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information of a disclosing Party, such Party as applicable, will notify the disclosing Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.2. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any Party is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information of a disclosing Party to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such Party, may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that such Party, shall use its best efforts to obtain, at the request of the disclosing Party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the disclosing Party shall designate. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 5.3 Conduct of Business. From the date hereof through the Closing Date, Seller shall (i) operate the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, not undertake any action, fail to take any action or permit to occur any event, which such action, failure or occurrence, had it taken place prior to the date hereof, would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 3.7 without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that if any such event shall occur which is beyond the control of Seller, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will not (i) declare, set aside, or pay any dividend or make any distribution with respect to its capital stock or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any of its capital stock, (ii) pay any amount to any third party with respect to any Liability or obligation (including any costs and expenses Seller has incurred or may incur in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) which would not constitute an Assumed Liability if in existence as of the Closing, or (iii) otherwise engage in any practice, take any action, or enter into any transaction of the sort described in Section 3.7 above. Seller will keep its business and properties substantially intact, including its present operations, physical facilities, working conditions, and relationships with lessors, licensors, suppliers, customers, and employees.

Section 5.4 Consents.

(a) The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings with, and obtain all consents, authorizations, qualifications and orders from, all Governmental Authority and other Persons necessary or required to be obtained by such Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents set forth on Schedule 5.4 within 60 days after the Closing Date.

(b) Each Party hereto shall furnish the other Party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with Section 5.4(a).

Section 5.5 Exclusivity. Neither Parent nor Seller will (i) solicit, initiate, or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the acquisition of any capital stock or other voting securities, or any substantial portion of the assets, of Seller (including any acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, or share exchange) or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Parent and Seller will notify Buyer immediately if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry, or contact with respect to any of the foregoing.

Section 5.6 Notice of Developments. Each Party will give prompt written notice to the other Party of any material adverse development causing a breach of any of its own representations and warranties in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV above. No disclosure by any Party pursuant to this Section 5.6, however, shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Schedules or to prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or breach of covenant.

Section 5.7 Covenant Not to Compete. For a period of two years from and after the Closing Date, neither Parent nor Seller will engage directly or indirectly in the Business anywhere in the United States and its territories, Mexico or Canada; provided, however, that no owner of less than 1% of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation shall be deemed to engage solely by reason thereof in any of its businesses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that (i) Parent owns an equity interest in Percepta, LLC (“Percepta”), (ii) Percepta engages directly or indirectly in the Business (“Percepta Activities”), and (iii) Parent will engage directly or indirectly in the Business under the Software License Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement. Buyer agrees that Parent’s ownership in Percepta, the Percepta Activities and Parent’s activities under the Software License Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement shall not be deemed to violate the noncompete obligations set forth in this Section 5.7. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 5.7 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

(i) The Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnitor of the commencement of any Action or any threat thereof, or any state of facts

which Indemnitee determines will give rise to a claim by the Indemnitee against the Indemnitor based on the indemnity agreements contained in this Agreement setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature and basis of the claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, and any other relevant information in the possession of the Indemnitee (a “Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim shall be accompanied by any relevant documents in the possession of the Indemnitee relating to the claim (such as copies of any summons, complaint or pleading which may have been served and, or any written demand or document evidencing the same). No failure to give a Notice of Claim shall affect, limit or reduce the indemnification obligations of an Indemnitor hereunder, except to the extent such failure actually prejudices such Indemnitor’s ability successfully to defend the Action giving rise to the indemnification claim.

(ii) In the event that an Indemnitee furnishes an Indemnitor with a Notice of Claim, then upon the written acknowledgment by the Indemnitor given to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice of Claim, stating that the Indemnitor is undertaking and will prosecute the defense of the claim under such indemnity agreements (an “Indemnification Acknowledgment”), then the claim covered by the Notice of Claim may be defended by the Indemnitor, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee is authorized to file any motion, answer or other pleading that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect its interests during such 30 day period. However, in the event the Indemnitor does not furnish an Indemnification Acknowledgment to the Indemnitee or does not offer reasonable assurances to the Indemnitee as to Indemnitor’s financial capacity to satisfy any final judgment or settlement, the Indemnitee may, upon written notice to the Indemnitor, assume the defense (with legal counsel chosen by the Indemnitee) and dispose of the claim, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding receipt of an Indemnification Acknowledgment, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in respect of any such Action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnitee’s own cost and expense, unless (A) the employment of such counsel and the payment of such fees and expenses shall have been specifically authorized by the Indemnitor in connection with the defense of such Action, or (B) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded based upon a written opinion of counsel that there may be specific defenses available to the Indemnitee which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor in which case the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee shall be borne by the Indemnitor.

(iii) The Indemnitee or the Indemnitor, as the case may be, who is controlling the defense of the Action shall keep the other fully informed of such Action at all stages thereof, whether or not such party is represented by counsel. The parties hereto agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such Action. Subject to the Indemnitor furnishing the Indemnitee with an Indemnification Acknowledgment in accordance with Section 10.3(a)(ii), the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor and provide such assistance, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, as the Indemnitor may reasonably request in connection with the defense of any such Action including, but not limited to, providing the Indemnitor with access to and use of all relevant corporate records and making available its officers and employees for

depositions, pre-trial discovery and as witnesses at trial, if required. In requesting any such cooperation, the Indemnitor shall have due regard for, and attempt to not be disruptive of, the business and day-to-day operations of the Indemnitee and shall follow the requests of the Indemnitee regarding any documents or instruments which the Indemnitee believes should be given confidential treatment.

(b) The Indemnitor shall not make or enter into any settlement of any Action which Indemnitor has undertaken to defend, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless there is no obligation, directly or indirectly, on the part of the Indemnitee to contribute to any portion of the payment for any of the Losses, the Indemnitee receives a general and unconditional release with respect to the claim (in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee), there is no finding or admission of any violation of law by, or effect on any other claim that may be made against the Indemnitee and, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, the relief granted in connection therewith is not likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee’s reputation or prospects.

Section 10.4 Indemnification Procedures — Other Claims, Indemnification Generally.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not relating to a third party claim may be asserted by giving reasonable notice directly by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall afford the Indemnitor access to all relevant corporate records and other information in its possession relating thereto.

(b) If any party becomes obligated to indemnify another party with respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder and the amount of liability with respect thereto shall have been finally determined, the Indemnitor shall pay such amount to the Indemnitee in immediately available funds within ten days following written demand by the Indemnitor.

Section 10.5 Exclusive Remedy. The provisions for indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE X are the exclusive remedies of Buyer and Seller arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and shall be in lieu of any rights under contract, tort, equity or otherwise (other than claims based on actual fraud).
