(a)           In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to give the Defense Notice within said 15-day period, it shall be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject claim, and in such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense in good faith and to compromise and settle the claim in good faith

with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs, expenses, settlement amounts or other Losses paid or incurred in connection therewith but only upon the terms and conditions of this Section 9; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or proceeding.

(b)           In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver a Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the subject claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have the exclusive control over said defense settlement of the subject claim and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying  Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing.  (Any fees or costs incurred by the Indemnified Party while engaging in such participation shall not be included within the calculation of its Losses for purposes of its entitlement to indemnification under this Section 9.3).  In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)           Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which may be withheld for any reason or no reason, the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim or cease to defend against such claim after assuming the defense of such claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, (i) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) such settlement or cessation would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d)           Notwithstanding Section 9.3(b), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, (ii) that involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (iii) that if unsuccessful, would set a precedent that would materially interfere with, or have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial condition of the Indemnified Party, or (iv) that imposes liability on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.  In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will still have all of its obligations hereunder provided that the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(e)           A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Section 9.3 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its

applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice.

9.4           Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims.  In the event an Indemnified Party should have a claim against an Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Direct Indemnification Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement.  If the Indemnifying Party does not notify (the “Direct Indemnification Defense Notice”) the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) Business Days from its receipt of the Direct Indemnification Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Direct Claim, the Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in the Direct Indemnification Notice shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.  If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed such Direct Claim, as provided above, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation as provided in Section 10.9 hereof.

9.5           Certain Limitations on Remedies.

(a)           All representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in or arising out of this Agreement or otherwise in connection herewith shall survive the Closing hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter until the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, except the warranties and representations contained in (i) Sections 6.3, 6.6(a), 6.11 and 6.20 shall survive for the applicable statutes of limitations (including any amendments extending said statutes).  Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement or in a Transaction Document (in which event such specified period will control), all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and in any Transaction Documents will survive the Closing and remain in effect indefinitely.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, indemnification for any claim for which written notice as provided in this Article 9 has been timely given prior to the expiration of the representation and warranty upon which such claim is based as provided herein shall not expire, and such claim for indemnification may be pursued, until the final resolution of such claim in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (but subject to the terms of this Section 9.5(b)), the Company and the Shareholders shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 9.1, as the case may be, other than as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 6.6(a), 6.11, 6.20, 6.24 or 6.27, unless and until the Losses incurred by all Purchaser Indemnified Parties, in the aggregate, as a result thereof exceed, in the aggregate, $100,000 (the “Basket Amount”); provided, moreover, that in the event that such Losses exceed the Basket Amount, the Shareholders shall only be liable to indemnify the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party for all Losses incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party subject to indemnification obligations of the Shareholders pursuant to Section 9.1, as the case may be (other than as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 6.6(a), 6.11, 6.20, 6.24 or 6.27), that is greater than the Basket Amount, up to, and not exceeding, the Cap Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket Amount shall

not apply to Losses in connection with fraud or any intentional breach by the Shareholders of any representation or warranty.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (but subject to the terms of this Section 9.5(c)), neither the Company nor any Shareholder shall be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 9.1, as the case may be, other than as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 6.6(a), 6.11, 6.20, 6.24 or 6.27, to the extent the amount of Losses paid to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, in the aggregate, pursuant to Section 9.1, as the case may be (other than as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 6.6(a), 6.11, 6.20, 6.24 or 6.27), exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price actually paid to the Company in the aggregate (the “Cap Amount”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Shareholder shall be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 9.1 to the extent the amount of Losses paid to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, in the aggregate, pursuant to Section 9.1 exceeds such Shareholder’s Proportionate Share of the Cap Amount, and (ii) the Cap Amount shall not apply to Losses in connection with fraud or any intentional breach by the Company or any of the Shareholders of any representations or warranties.

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Purchaser makes an indemnity claim arising out of an alleged infringement of any third party’s rights by the Intellectual Property acquired by the Purchaser from the Company or a breach of the representations in Section 6.11, then before such claim must be satisfied by monetary compensation from the Company or the Shareholders, the Company and the Shareholders shall first be notified in writing by the Purchaser of such alleged infringement and be given a period of up to thirty (30) days after such notification to either remedy the alleged infringement or propose a plan acceptable to Purchaser within such period to remedy such infringement; provided that the period that such remedy is being carried out shall toll the period during which a Purchaser indemnification claim may be made for the underlying infringement; and provided further that any such remedy must be acceptable to Purchaser in its discretion.

9.6           Right of Set Off.  In addition to, and not in limitation of, Purchaser’s rights to indemnity as set forth in Section 9.5 hereof, Purchaser shall have the right to set off against any and all monies otherwise to be paid or delivered to Company or the Shareholders (excluding salaries) from and after the Closing, any and all amounts for which the Company or the Shareholders are required to indemnify a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.1 above.  The amount of such set off shall be determined in accordance with Sections 9.3 or 9.4 above (subject to Section 9.5).  The exercise of such right of set off by Purchaser in good faith will not constitute a breach of this or any other agreement between the parties.

9.7           Exclusive Remedy.  Any claim of Purchaser against Company or any of the Shareholders pursuant to, arising out of, or related to this Agreement must be asserted pursuant to the terms of this Article 9.

9.8           LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, NO OBLIGATION OF ANY PARTY TO INDEMNIFY

ANOTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL INCLUDE INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF PURCHASER OF ANY KIND EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED BY ANOTHER PARTY HERETO OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM OR THE UNDERLYING THEORY OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE).

10.2         No Third Party Beneficiary.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Article 9.

10.3         Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

10.4         Amendment and Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended, or any provision of this Agreement may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be binding on Purchaser only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by Purchaser, and provided that any such amendment or waiver will be binding upon the Company and Shareholders only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by the Company and Shareholders.  The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver or as a waiver of any other breach.

10.5         Further Assurances.  Each party will execute all documents and take such other actions as any other party may reasonably request in order to consummate the transactions provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

10.6         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, including counterparts bearing a facsimile signature copy, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement and

shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by all of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties.  The parties hereto intend that a facsimile signature copy on this Agreement shall have the same force and effect as an original signature.

10.7         Expenses.  Each of the parties hereto shall pay all costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.8         Governing Law; Venue; Service of Process.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws.  The parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Georgia over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and further agree that venue for all such matters shall lie exclusively in those courts.  The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have, including, but not limited to, any claim of forum non conveniens, to venue in the courts located in Fulton County, Georgia.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

10.9         Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions or events contemplated hereby or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party hereto.  The parties hereto each agree that any and all such claims and causes of action shall be tried by the court without a jury.  Each of the parties hereto further waives any right to seek to consolidate any such legal proceeding in which a jury trial has been waived with any other legal proceeding in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived.

10.10       Specific Performance.  The parties hereto acknowledge that irreparable damage would result if this Agreement and the Transaction Documents were not specifically enforced, and they therefore consent that the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents may be enforced by a decree of specific performance issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Such remedy shall, however, not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

10.11       Recovery of Attorney’s Fees.  In the event of any litigation between the parties hereto relating to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs (including court costs) from the non-prevailing party; provided, that if both parties prevail in part, the attorney’s fees and costs shall be awarded by the court in such manner as it deems equitable to reflect the relative amounts and merits of the parties’ claims.

10.12       Headings.  The subject headings of Articles and Sections of this Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions.

10.13       Assignment.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but will not be assignable or delegable by any party hereto, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall or is intended to limit the ability of Purchaser to assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any lender or lenders to any of Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary thereof as security for borrowings, at any time whether in connection with the Closing or following the Closing Date.

10.14       Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Preamble and all the Schedules (including the Disclosure Schedules) and Exhibits attached to this Agreement (all of which shall be deemed incorporated in the Agreement and made a part hereof), and the Transaction Documents set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto, and shall not be modified or affected by any offer, proposal, statement or representation, oral or written, made by or for any party in connection with the negotiation of the terms hereof, and may be modified only by instruments signed by all of the parties hereto.

10.15       Interpretative Matters.  Unless the context otherwise requires, (a) all references to Articles, Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Articles, Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (b) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter and (c) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation.

10.16       No Strict Construction.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party hereto.

10.17       Publicity.  The parties agree that they shall not issue any announcement or press release relating, directly or indirectly, to the transactions contemplated hereby unless such announcement or release is mutually agreed to by each of the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may release such information that is required of them pursuant to any Law; provided that such releasing party (prior to such release) immediately inform the other parties hereto regarding the requirement and content of such release.

10.18       Knowledge of Shareholders and the Company.  Where any representation or warranty of Shareholders and/or the Company contained in this Agreement is expressly qualified by reference “to the knowledge of Shareholders,” “to Shareholders’ knowledge,” “to the knowledge of the Company,” “to the Company’s knowledge,” or words of similar import, it refers to the actual knowledge of each of Shareholders, as to the existence or absence of facts or circumstances that are the subject of such representations and warranties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Asset Purchase Agreement as of the date first above written.
