hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
| (v) |
Sale of Assets; Related Transactions. |
1.1 Purchase and Sale of
Assets. The Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and
deliver to the Purchaser or its designee, and the Purchaser shall
purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller, at the Closing, all
of the Seller’s and the Seller’s Subsidiaries’
right, title and interest in, to and under the Assets on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The
Assets shall be conveyed free and clear of all Encumbrances, except

“Assets ” shall mean all of the equipment,
Assigned Contracts, Seller IP and other tangible and intangible
assets of the Seller set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) attached
hereto and any Contract assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to
Section 6.1(b).
1
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, the term
“Assets” does not include any accounts receivable
arising out of goods sold or services rendered before June 13,
2008 or any Contracts which are not listed on Schedule
1.1(a) or assumed pursuant to Section 6.1(b)
(collectively, the “Excluded Assets
”).
1.2 Purchase
Price.
i. As consideration for the
sale of the Assets to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall pay to
Seller Thirty Two Million U.S. Dollars ($32,000,000) (the “

below.
1. At the Closing, the
Purchaser shall pay to the Seller Twenty Million U.S. Dollars
($20,000,000) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller (the
“ First Installment ”);
2. On or before July 31,
2008, Purchaser shall issue to the Seller a warrant to purchase
2.0% of the outstanding equity securities of Purchaser on a fully
diluted basis, at a purchase price of €27 per share;
and
3. Within seven days after
the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the balance
of the Purchase Price (the “ Second Installment
”) as follows: (a) $4,200,000 shall be deposited with
the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Indemnification Escrow Agreement
by wire transfer of immediately available funds;
(b) $5,800,000 shall be paid to the Seller in cash or by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts
designated by the Seller; and (c) $2,000,000 shall be
deposited with the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately
available funds pursuant to the Microsoft Escrow

ii. In addition to payment of

include only the:
1. Liabilities of the Seller
pursuant to the terms of the Assigned Contracts, but only to the
extent such Liabilities: (A) arise after the Closing Date;
(B) do not arise from or relate to any breach by Seller or any
subsidiary of Seller of any provision of any such Assigned
Contracts; and (C) do not arise from or relate to any event,
circumstance or condition occurring or existing on or prior to the
Closing Date that, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute
or result in a breach of any of such Assigned Contracts;
provided, however , that notwithstanding the foregoing,
“Assumed Liabilities” shall include indemnity claims
pursuant to the terms of the Assigned Contracts arising from sales
made and services rendered prior to the Closing, but only to the
extent such indemnity claim Liabilities: (A) are based on
claims made or otherwise arising after the Closing; (B) do not
arise from any breach by Seller of any provision of any such
Assigned Contracts other than the warranty provisions thereof; and
(C) do not arise from any event, circumstance or condition
occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing Date that, with
notice, would constitute a breach of any of such Assigned
Contracts, other than related to the warranty provisions
thereof;
2
2. Warranty and support
claims pursuant to the terms of the Assigned Contracts and arising
from sales made and services rendered prior to the Closing, but
only to the extent such claims are made after the Closing or are
specified in the Disclosure Schedule; and
3. Accounts payable
(excluding payroll) arising out of goods purchased or services
rendered on or after June 13, 2008.
iii. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall
not be required to assume, perform or discharge any Liability of
any kind of Seller or any of its Affiliates (whether or not related
to the Business or the Assets) other than the Assumed Liabilities,
and all such Liabilities (including the Retained Employment
Liabilities and the Retained Sales Tax Liabilities) shall remain
solely the responsibility of the Seller (the “ Excluded
Liabilities ”).
iv. If for any reason, or no
reason at all, the Purchaser fails to pay to the Seller the Second
Installment within the seven day period as set forth in
Section 1.2(a)(ii), then the Seller shall have the right, in
its sole discretion, to unilaterally rescind this Agreement upon
written notice to the Purchaser. If the Seller rescinds this
Agreement under this clause (e), then the Transactions shall
thereupon be unwound, and the Purchaser shall promptly return,
assign, transfer, convey and deliver all Assets to the Seller, and
the Seller shall promptly refund the First Installment to the
Purchaser less a break-up fee equal to One Million U.S.
Dollars ($1,000,000). The Seller shall be entitled to such break-up
fee as compensation for certain costs and expenses incurred by the
Seller and its Affiliates as a result of the Transactions, and such
fee shall not be deemed to be liquidated damages.
1.3
Closing.
v. The closing of the sale of
the Assets to, and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by,
the Purchaser (the “ Closing ”) is taking
place concurrently with the execution hereof at the offices of

R EPRESENTATIONS AND W
ARRANTIES OF THE S
ELLER . |
Subject to the foregoing and
except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedules, the Seller
represents and warrants as of the Closing Date, to and for the
benefit of the Purchaser, as follows:
1.4 Due Organization.
The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all
requisite corporate power to own the Assets and to conduct the
Business as now conducted.
1.5 Qualification to Do
Business. Seller is duly qualified to conduct the Business as a
foreign corporation and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in which the character of the Assets, the Leased Real Property or
the nature of the Business as conducted by the Seller makes such
qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so
qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
1.6 Non-contravention.
Except as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Disclosure
Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of any of the
Transaction Documents, nor the consummation or performance of any
of the Transactions, will directly or indirectly (with or without
notice or lapse of time):
i. contravene, conflict with
or result in a violation of, or give any Governmental Body or other
Person the right to challenge any of the Transactions or to
exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under, any Legal
Requirement or any Order to which the Seller, or any of the Assets,
is subject;
ii. contravene, conflict with
or result in a violation of Seller’s Certificate of
Incorporation or bylaws;
iii. contravene, conflict
with or result in a violation or breach of, or result in a default
under, any provision of any Assigned Contract;
iv. give any Person the right
to (i) declare a default or exercise any remedy under any
Assigned Contract, (ii) accelerate the maturity or performance
of any Assigned Contract, or (iii) cancel, terminate or modify
any Assigned Contract; or
v. result in the imposition
or creation of any Encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the
Assets.
1.7 Consents. Except
as set forth in Section 2.4 of the Disclosure Schedule,
the Seller is not and will not be required to make any filing with
or give any notice to, or to obtain any Consent from, any Person or
Governmental Body in connection with the execution and delivery of
any of the Transaction Documents or the consummation or performance
of any of the Transactions, except with respect to any notice,
filings or Consents required under any anti-trust or
anti-competition law, regulation or statute of any Governmental
Body in any jurisdiction in which the Purchaser conducts
business.
4
1.8 Authority; Binding
Nature Of Agreements. The Seller has the absolute and
unrestricted right, power and authority to enter into and to
perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party; and the execution, delivery and performance by
the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the
Seller. No vote of the Seller’s stockholders is necessary in
order to execute, deliver or perform this Agreement. Assuming the
Purchaser’s duly authorized execution hereof and thereof, if
applicable, this Agreement and each of the other Transaction
Documents to which the Seller is a party constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the
Seller in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability
thereof may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting
the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable
relief (whether in proceedings at law or in equity).
1.9 Title To Assets.
The Seller owns, and has good and valid title to, all of the
Assets. The Assets are owned by the Seller free and clear of any
Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Assets,
together with Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction
Documents, will collectively constitute, as of the Closing Date,
all of the properties, rights, interests and other tangible and
intangible assets (excepting personnel) necessary to enable the
Purchaser to conduct the Business in the manner in which such
Business has recently been conducted by the Seller. No subsidiary
or Affiliate of the Seller owns (or has any rights with respect to)
any properties or tangible or intangible assets that are necessary
for the conduct of, or that are primarily used in or held for use
for, the Business. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement,
the Assets are conveyed “AS IS” with no warranty and
all other warranties, express and implied, are hereby disclaimed,
including, without limitation, any implied warranties of fitness
for purpose, merchantability or non-infringement.
1.10 Intellectual
Property.
vi.
Section 2.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule
identifies:
1. each item of Registered
IP, the jurisdiction in which such item of Registered IP has been
registered or filed and the applicable registration or serial
number; and any other Person that has an ownership interest in such
item of Registered IP and the nature of such ownership
interest;
2. all Intellectual Property
licensed to the Seller and that is used to conduct the Business
(other than (1) readily-available off-the-shelf commercial
software that is licensed to Seller for its internal use subject to
standard terms, and is generally available under such standard
terms for a one-time fee of less than ten thousand U.S. dollars
(U.S. $10,000), and (2) non-customized back-office software
that is used by Seller solely for its own internal administrative
purposes but is not incorporated into, or used directly in the
development, manufacturing, testing, distribution, or support of,
any Seller Product) and the corresponding Contract or Contracts
pursuant to which such Intellectual Property is licensed to the
Seller;
3. each Contract pursuant to
which any Person has been granted any license under, or otherwise
has received or acquired any right (whether or not currently
exercisable), immunity, or interest in, any Seller IP, other than
nonexclusive, executable-code software licenses granted in the
ordinary course of business to end-user customers of the Business
pursuant to end-user license agreements that do not substantially
deviate from the Seller‘s standard form of end user license
agreement; and
5
4. any other material Seller
IP not otherwise required to be listed pursuant to (i) through
(iii) of this Section 2.7(a).
vii. Seller exclusively owns
all right, title and interest to and in (or, in the case of Seller
IP that is exclusively licensed to Seller, has a valid and
enforceable license to use) the Seller IP free and clear of any
Encumbrances (other than (i) licenses granted pursuant to the
Contracts listed in Section 2.7(a)(iii) of the Disclosure
Schedule and (ii) nonexclusive, executable-code software
licenses granted in the ordinary course of business to consumer
end-user customers of the Business). No Seller IP is subject to any
Contract containing any covenant or other provision that in any way
limits or restricts the ability of the Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates to use, exploit, assert, or enforce any Seller IP
anywhere in the world. Without limiting the foregoing:
1. All documents and
instruments necessary to perfect the rights of the Seller in the
Registered IP have been validly executed, delivered and filed in a
timely manner with the appropriate Governmental Body.
2. Each Person who is or was
an employee or independent contractor of the Seller and who is or
was involved in the creation or development of any Seller IP
(except for Magic4 Trademarks) has signed an enforceable agreement
containing an assignment of Intellectual Property Rights to the
Seller and confidentiality provisions protecting the Seller IP, and
no such Person has any past, present, or future right to or
ownership of such Intellectual Property Rights (including any right
to revoke such assignment).
3. No Seller Employee has
asserted any written claim, right (whether or not currently
exercisable) or interest to or in any Seller IP. No Seller Employee
who is or was involved in the creation or development of any Seller
IP is (A) to Seller’s Knowledge, bound by or otherwise
subject to any Contract restricting him from performing his duties
for the Seller; or (B) to Seller’s Knowledge, in breach
of any Contract with any former employer or other Person concerning
Intellectual Property Rights or confidentiality due to his
activities as an employee of the Seller.
4. No funding, facilities or
personnel of any Governmental Body or any college, university, or
other educational institution were used, directly or indirectly, to
develop or create, in whole or in part, any Seller IP.
viii. The Seller has taken
all reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of and
otherwise protect and enforce its rights in all proprietary
information held by the Seller and used primarily in the
Business.
ix. The Seller owns or
otherwise has all necessary rights to conduct the Business as
conducted by the Seller on the Closing Date. After the Closing and
execution by Purchaser of the Transaction Documents, the Purchaser
has, or will be able to obtain through the exercise of
Purchaser’s rights pursuant to Section 3.2 of the
License Agreement, all Intellectual Property Rights necessary to
conduct the Business as Seller conducted the Business on the
Closing Date.
6
x. To Seller’s
Knowledge, all Seller IP (except for Magic4 Trademarks) is valid,
subsisting, and enforceable. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing:
1. Each U.S. patent
application and U.S. patent that constitutes Seller IP was filed
within one year of a printed publication, public use, or offer for
sale of each invention described in the U.S. patent application or
U.S. patent. Each foreign patent application and foreign patent
that constitutes Seller IP has or purports to have an ownership
interest was filed or claims priority to a patent application filed
prior to each invention described in the foreign patent application
or foreign patent being made available to the public.
2. No trademark or trade name
that constitutes Seller IP (other than each of the Magic4
Trademarks) conflicts or interferes with any trademark or trade
name owned, used, or applied for by any other Person. No event or
circumstance (including a failure to exercise adequate quality
controls and an assignment in gross without the accompanying
goodwill) has occurred or exists that has resulted in, or could
reasonably be expected to result in, the abandonment of any
trademark (whether registered or unregistered) that constitutes
Seller IP and is not a Magic4 Trademark. For purposes of
clarification, no representations or warranties are made by Seller
regarding any Magic4 Trademark or the scope, validity,
enforceability, condition or status of any Magic4 Trademark and

is” basis.

effect have been made by the applicable deadline. No application
for a patent or a copyright or any other type of Registered IP that
constitutes Seller IP has been abandoned, allowed to lapse, or
rejected. None of the above representation applies to Magic4
Trademarks.
4. No interference,
opposition, reissue, reexamination, or other Proceeding is or has
been pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, in which
the scope, validity, or enforceability of any Seller IP is being,
has been, or could reasonably be expected to be contested or
challenged. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no basis for a
claim that any Seller IP is invalid or unenforceable as a result of
patent or copyright misuse or on any other grounds.
xi. To Seller’s
Knowledge, no Person has infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise
violated, and no Person is currently infringing, misappropriating
or otherwise violating, any Seller IP. Section 2.7(f)

has provided to the Purchaser a complete and accurate copy of) each
letter or other written or electronic communication or
correspondence that has been sent or otherwise delivered by or to

delivery, or performance of this Agreement (or any of the
Transaction Documents) nor the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or any of the
Transaction Documents) will, with or without notice or lapse of
time, result in, or give any other Person the right or option to
cause or declare, (a) a loss of, or Encumbrance on, any Seller
IP; (b) the release, disclosure, or delivery of any Seller IP
by or to any escrow agent or other Person; or (c) the grant,

operation of the Business has not infringed (directly,
contributorily, by inducement, or otherwise) or otherwise violated,
misappropriated, or made unlawful use of any Intellectual Property
Rights of any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, neither
the use of Seller IP nor the use of Licensed IP as permitted under
the License Agreement, nor the license, the use or sale of Seller
Product in operation of the Business infringes, violates or makes
unlawful use of any Intellectual Property Right of any other
Person. None of the Seller IP, Licensed IP or the Seller Product
contain any Intellectual Property misappropriated from any other
Person.

involving any Seller IP, Seller Products, or the Business is
(i) pending before any Governmental Body, arbitrator, or

forth in Schedule 2.7(j), the Seller has no duty or obligation
(whether present, contingent, or otherwise) to deliver, license, or
make available the source code for any Seller Software to any

Seller Software to any other Person.

respect to any incorporation of Open Source Software into a Magic4
Product that may have occurred prior to the Magic4 Purchase Date.

used, modified, or distributed any Open Source Software in a manner

was already present in such Magic4 Product as of the Magic4
Purchase Date) to be (i) disclosed or distributed in source
code form; (ii) licensed for the purpose of making derivative
