In the event that Purchaser makes one or more Subsidiary Asset Elections, SCO Group, as the holder of all of the Equity Interests in each Purchased Subsidiary, shall cause the applicable Purchased Subsidiaries to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser the Purchased Assets owned and/or held by such Purchased Subsidiaries at Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event that Purchaser makes an Opt Out Election with respect to one or more Purchased Subsidiaries, Sellers shall have no obligation to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser shall have no obligation to purchase the Equity Interests held by SCO Group in such Purchased Subsidiaries. The Parties hereby agree that the exercise of any Opt Out Election and/or Subsidiary Asset Election shall not result in the increase or decrease of the Purchase Price.

          (b) Sellers acknowledge and agree that at the Closing, SCO Group, as the record and beneficial holder of all of the outstanding Equity Interests in the Purchased Subsidiaries, shall transfer to Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to such Equity Interests, free and clear of all Claims and Encumbrances, in each of the Purchased Subsidiaries in which Purchaser has not made an Opt Out Election or a Subsidiary Asset Election. Sellers hereby agree that prior to the Closing they shall take any and all action as may be necessary so that as of the Closing, such Purchased Subsidiaries shall not hold any cash or other Excluded Assets and not have any Excluded Liabilities. The Parties hereby agree that such transfer to Purchaser of such Equity Interests in the Purchased Subsidiaries shall not result in the increase or decrease of the Purchase Price.

Prior to the date hereof, an affiliate of Purchaser delivered $250,000 to Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to an escrow agreement, dated as of June 9, 2009, among such affiliate, Sellers and Escrow Agent, and (1) concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, such affiliate has directed Escrow Agent to continue to hold such $250,000, which shall be deemed to be the Cash Deposit hereunder, and (2) on or before the fifth Business Day after the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order Purchaser will deliver to Escrow Agent the Letter of Credit-Balance, which Cash Deposit and Letter of Credit-Balance shall be held and released as provided

in Section 3.2. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent the Letter of Credit-Sun, which shall be held and released as provided in Section 3.3.

The Cash Deposit and the Letter of Credit-Balance (the Cash Deposit, together with the Letter of Credit-Balance, if and when delivered to Escrow Agent, the “ Escrow ”) will be released by Escrow Agent and delivered to either Purchaser or Sellers as follows:

          (a) If the Closing occurs, the Escrow shall be delivered to Sellers at Closing and Sellers shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit-Balance on or after the Closing Date.

          (b) If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.4(b) , the Escrow shall be returned to Purchaser and Sellers shall have no rights with respect thereto.

          (c) If this Agreement is terminated by Sellers due to a breach by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.4(f) , (i) the Cash Deposit shall be delivered to Sellers, and (ii) the Letter of Credit-Balance shall be returned to Purchaser and Sellers shall have no rights with respect thereto.

          (a) As used herein, the term “ District Court Sun Agreement Judgment ” means that portion of the Final Judgment entered on November 20, 2008 by the U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Central Division, that Novell is entitled to payment from SCO Group in connection with the 2003 agreement between SCO Group and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (the “ Sun Agreement ”). If following the Closing and on or before August 31, 2009, the District Court Sun Agreement Judgment is affirmed in whole or in part by the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (the “ Appeals Court ”) as a result of the appeal by SCO Group of the District Court Sun Agreement Judgment (the “ Appeal ”), then Escrow Agent shall be authorized and directed by SCO Group to draw on such Letter of Credit-Sun on behalf of and in the name of SCO Group to the extent required to satisfy such payment obligation to Novell determined in the Appeal (subject to paragraph (c) below); provided that Purchaser, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense, may elect to require SCO Group to seek further appellate review of such

ruling of the Appeals Court and, in such event, (i) Purchaser shall direct and control such further appeal efforts with counsel of its choosing and SCO Group shall cooperate with Purchaser and such counsel and take any and all such action as may be necessary or desirable in connection with such seeking and prosecuting such appeals, and (ii) Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Letter of Credit-Sun and neither SCO Group nor Escrow Agent on behalf of SCO Group shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit-Sun unless and until such time as a final non-appealable judgment with respect to such payment obligation has been entered. Thereafter, Escrow Agent shall be authorized and directed by SCO Group to draw on the Letter of Credit-Sun on behalf of and in the name of SCO Group, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 3.3 .

          (b) If following the Closing and on or prior to August 31, 2009, the District Court Sun Agreement Judgment is reversed and/or remanded in whole or in part, then Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Letter of Credit-Sun and the Letter of Credit-Sun may not be drawn on until such time as a final, non-appealable judgment is entered with respect to the payment obligation of SCO Group to Novell with respect to the Sun Agreement (or such earlier time as Purchaser shall agree in its reasonable discretion). So long as the Letter of Credit-Sun is in effect and subject to being drawn on under the terms of this Section for payment of any amounts that may be determined to be owed and payable by SCO Group to Novell with respect to the Sun Agreement, SCO Group agrees that Purchaser, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense, may direct and control the litigation between SCO Group and Novell regarding the Sun Agreement, including settlement discussions and appeals, with counsel of Purchaser’s choosing and SCO Group shall cooperate with Purchaser and such counsel and take any and all such action as may be necessary or desirable in connection with such seeking and prosecuting such appeals; provided that Purchaser may not settle such litigation without the prior written consent of SCO Group if the settlement (i) is for an amount greater than the face amount of the Letter of Credit-Sun, or (ii) is for or involves non-monetary consideration or non-monetary judicial relief, including, but not limited to, promises by any Seller to do or forbear from doing any act or the granting of equitable remedies, or (iii) involves, requires, or implies admissions of wrongful acts (whether civil or criminal) by any Seller.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything in clause (a) or (b) above to the contrary: (i) the monies so drawn by SCO Group or Escrow Agent on behalf of and in the name of SCO Group shall be used solely to pay Novell in accordance with the final judgment of the applicable court; (ii) in the event that the amount determined in a final, non-appealable judgment to be owed by SCO Group to Novell is less than the face amount of the Letter of Credit-Sun, then only such amount that is so determined to be owed and payable by SCO Group to Novell may be drawn on the Letter of Credit-Sun and paid to Novell on behalf of and in the name of SCO Group, and the remaining balance of the Letter of Credit-Sun may be terminated and cancelled by Purchaser; (iii) in the event that an amount in excess of the face amount of the Letter of Credit-Sun is owed and payable to Novell, Purchaser shall have no obligation to pay all or any portion of such excess; and (iv) in the event that (A) on or prior to August 31, 2009 the District Court Sun Agreement Judgment is neither affirmed in whole or in part nor reversed and/or remanded in whole or in part, or (B) for any reason whatsoever, the Letter of Credit-Sun is not drawn by SCO Group or Escrow Agent on behalf of and in the name of SCO Group on or before December 31, 2009, the Letter of Credit-Sun shall terminate and SCO Group shall have no rights with respect thereto and Purchaser shall have no obligation to pay such portion of the Purchase Price.

In connection with the filing of the Sale Motion, Purchaser will demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Sellers and the Bankruptcy Court, that Purchaser is, as of the Sale Hearing, prepared to close and pay the Purchase Price at Closing, and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Assumed Executory Contracts, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to its obligation to close including, without limitation, receipt of CFIUS Approval.
