THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 6, 2011 by and among Blackbaud Pacific Pty Ltd, incorporated and registered in Australia as a proprietary company, with ABN 73 095 925 170 whose registered office is at 189 Miller Street, Level 6, North Sydney, NSW 2060(“Blackbaud”), Everyday Hero Pty Ltd, incorporated and registered in Australia as a proprietary company, with ABN 21 117 080 430 whose registered office is at c/o Carthills Chartered Accounts, Level 1, 2072 Logan Road, Upper Mount Gravatt QLD 4122, (such company and any predecessor entity thereto, the “Company”), all of the stockholders of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Stockholders”) and Nathan Betteridge as the representative of the Stockholders (the “Stockholder Representative”). Certain capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Article VIII hereof.

RECITALS

A. The Stockholders own all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company, consisting of 2,346 fully paid ordinary shares of the Company (the “Shares”).

B. The Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Everyday Hero Limited, a company incorporated in England under registered number 06789111, whose registered office is at The Ropewalks, Newton Street, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK11 6QZ.

C. Blackbaud desires to purchase all of the Shares from the Stockholders, and the Stockholders desire to sell the Shares to Blackbaud, upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Sale”).

D. Blackbaud shall hold a portion of the consideration payable by it in connection with the Sale as security for the indemnification obligations and any Working Capital Deficiency set forth in this Agreement.

E. The Company and the Stockholders, on the one hand, and Blackbaud, on the other hand, desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Sale.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and other promises set forth herein, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES; CLOSING

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares. At the Closing and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Stockholders shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Blackbaud, and Blackbaud shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Stockholders, all of the Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and with Blackbaud making the payments to the Stockholders as described in Section 1.3 hereof.


1.2 Closing.

(a) Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article V, the closing of the Sale (the “Closing”) will take place at multiple locations determined by the parties and on a date (the “Closing Date”) to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

(b) The parties agree that the process to be followed at Closing will be, subject to the terms of this Agreement, as follows:

(i) the parties will mutually agree upon a Closing Date which allows enough time for the parties to:

(1) satisfy their pre-Closing obligations under this Agreement; and

(2) to mutually agree upon the terms of such other instruments and documents that are required by this Agreement to be delivered as a condition of Closing (the “Ancillary Documents”);

(ii) once the parties are satisfied that the Ancillary Documents are final, Blackbaud and the Stockholders will procure the signatures required for each Ancillary Document;

(iii) on or before one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Blackbaud and the Stockholder will fax to each other’s attorneys the fully executed signature pages of the Ancillary Documents, with such signature pages to be held “in escrow” by the receiving attorneys for the benefit of the signing party until the signing party confirms that such signature pages can be released from escrow;

(iv) on the Closing Date the parties participate in a teleconference at a mutually agreed time, in which the parties determine whether or not they are satisfied that the parties can proceed to Closing;

(v) if the parties are satisfied to proceed to Closing, Blackbaud will then pay the Initial Purchase Price from an Australian bank account in accordance with this Agreement and the Spreadsheet, will pay the Escrow Amount in accordance with the agreement governing the terms thereof, and will provide email confirmation to the Stockholders that this has been done;

(vi) Upon Stockholders’ reasonable satisfaction that Blackbaud has initiated payment of the amounts set forth in Section 1.2(v)(vi) in accordance with the terms thereof, Blackbaud and the Stockholders will then authorize the other party’s attorney to release the signature pages from escrow to their client, and upon the Stockholders’ receipt of the Purchase Price, the Sale will be closed.

1.3 Purchase Price.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as consideration for the transfer of the Shares from the Stockholders to Blackbaud, at the Closing, Blackbaud shall pay in Cleared Funds to the Stockholders (in proportion to their ownership of the Shares), without interest, an amount equal to the Initial Purchase Price minus (i) the sum, as of the Closing Date, of (A) Closing Debt, (B) any amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (C) all severance, change of control or similar payments paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Transactions, and (D) any Working Capital Deficiency pursuant to Section 1.4(a), plus (ii) any Working Capital Surplus pursuant to Section 1.4(a) (all such adjustments are referred to herein as the “Purchase Price

 

-2-


Adjustments” and the resulting purchase price referred to as the “Final Purchase Price”) for the issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as to accrued interest on the Escrow Amount as further described in Article VI, in no event shall the aggregate amount paid by Blackbaud hereunder to the Stockholders exceed the Final Purchase Price.

(b) Blackbaud shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Final Purchase Price any amounts that Blackbaud is required or entitled to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over by the Blackbaud to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Stockholders.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a portion of the Final Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder to the Stockholders shall be retained by Blackbaud in an escrow account and paid to the Stockholders pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions of Article VI.

1.4 Closing Adjustments to Final Purchase Price.

(a) Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Blackbaud a balance sheet dated as of the Closing Date, prepared in a manner consistent with that used to prepare the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries included in the Interim Financial Statements, projecting the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), including Total Current Assets, Total Current Liabilities and the Purchase Price Adjustments, and each shall be prepared consistent with the Financial Statements and denominated in Australian dollars. The Company shall also deliver supporting schedules showing financial transactions from the date of the Interim Financial Statement for the purpose of supporting Blackbaud’s conversion of the Closing Balance Sheet, including each component thereof, in a manner consistent with standards applied by Price Waterhouse Coopers in its 2011 financial review. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be certified by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in a form reasonably acceptable to Blackbaud. Blackbaud shall, following the Closing, convert the Closing Balance Sheet, including each component thereof, in a manner consistent with standards applied by Price Waterhouse Coopers in its 2011 financial review (as so converted, the “Final Balance Sheet”).

(b) To the extent that Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target (a “Working Capital Deficiency”), the Initial Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of the Working Capital Deficiency. To the Extent that Working Capital is more than the Working Capital Target (a “Working Capital Surplus”), the Initial Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of the Working Capital Surplus. The Final Purchase Price is subject to further adjustment in accordance with Sections 1.4(c) through 1.4(e) below.

(c) Blackbaud shall, within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (the “Examination Period”), examine the Final Balance Sheet. During the Examination Period, if Blackbaud disputes the Final Balance Sheet or any line items therein, then Blackbaud may deliver to the Stockholder Representative a notice of dispute setting forth in reasonable detail the actual line item or items disputed, the amounts disputed and the basis for such dispute (each, a “Payment Dispute Notice”). At any time prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, Blackbaud may in its sole discretion amend and/or withdraw any previously submitted Payment Dispute Notice. Upon the expiration of the Examination Period, if no Payment Dispute Notice has been provided by Blackbaud during the Examination Period, or if all

 

-3-


provided Payment Dispute Notice(s) have been withdrawn by Blackbaud, then the Final Balance Sheet provided pursuant to Section 1.4(a) above shall be deemed accepted by Blackbaud. However, if upon the expiration of the Examination Period, one or more Payment Dispute Notice(s) has or have been delivered and not withdrawn, then, until ten (10) Business Days following the end of the Examination Period (the “Negotiation Period”), Blackbaud and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to agree on the Final Balance Sheet.

(d) To the extent a Payment Dispute Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn and no agreement pursuant to Section 1.4(c) above is reached during the Negotiation Period, then Blackbaud may engage Price Waterhouse Coopers or another internationally recognized accounting firm (the “Selected Firm”) to examine the disputed items as of the Closing Date and deliver its results which shall include any adjustments required to the Final Balance Sheet (as so adjusted, the “Negotiated Balance Sheet”) to Blackbaud and the Stockholders no later than thirty (30) Business Days following such appointment. The Selected Firm shall be limited in its engagement and decision to applying such agreed upon procedures to the particular line items and range of amounts set forth in the Payment Dispute Notice(s) and not settled by written agreement during the Negotiation Period, and shall not render a decision on any other portion of the Final Balance Sheet or any amount outside such disputed range of amounts for any such line items. The decision of the Selected Firm shall be final and binding upon the parties. The costs and expenses of such Selected Firm (the “Audit Costs”) shall be borne by Blackbaud; provided, however, that should the Selected Firm determine that there exists a discrepancy in the disputed items between the Final Balance Sheet and the Negotiated Balance Sheet in excess of $10,000 that creates or increases a Working Capital Deficiency, then the Audit Costs (subject to a $20,000 maximum) shall be borne by the Stockholders and Blackbaud shall be entitled to reduce the Escrow Amount by the total Audit Costs, upon notice to the Stockholder Representative.

(e) If the Negotiated Balance Sheet (or final determination of Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.4(c) above) would have resulted in a lower Initial Purchase Price, Blackbaud shall be entitled to reduce the Escrow Amount by the amount by which the Initial Purchase Price constituted an overpayment. Conversely, if the Negotiated Balance Sheet (or final determination of Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.4(c) above) would have resulted in a higher Initial Purchase Price, Blackbaud shall pay in Cleared Funds to the Stockholders (in proportion to their ownership of the Shares) the amount by which the Initial Purchase Price constituted an underpayment within three (3) Business Days of the determination that there has been an underpayment.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 1.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, all reductions from the Escrow Amount permitted pursuant to (or payments required by) this Section 1.4 shall be made on a dollar-for-dollar basis regardless of amount and without regard to the Aggregate Threshold Amount.

(ii) to the extent permitted by law, all other representations and warranties, other than the Warranties (whether express or implied, oral or in writing), made or given by the Stockholders, the Company or their respective agents are expressly excluded, have no force and effect and have not been relied upon by Blackbaud; or

(iii) despite any other provision in this Agreement, the Stockholders have no liability to Blackbaud: (A) to the extent that a claimed Loss is reflected as a liability on the Interim Financial Statements; and (B) to the extent Blackbaud has received insurance proceeds in respect of a claimed Loss.

6.3 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Procedure for Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI (other than a third-party claim covered by Section 6.3(b) below) shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a certificate (an “Officer’s Certificate”) signed by any officer of Blackbaud (or another Indemnified Party) (A) stating that Blackbaud (or such other Indemnified Party) has paid, sustained, incurred, or accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, sustain, incur, or accrue Losses (the aggregate amount of such Losses being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”), (B) specifying in reasonable detail the facts pertinent to such claim(s), the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated and the nature of basis for indemnification to which such item is related, and (C) demanding payment of the Claimed Amount. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Stockholder Representative shall: (I) agree that the

 

-40-


Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case Blackbaud shall reduce the Escrow Amount by an amount equal to the Claimed Amount), (II) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case Blackbaud shall reduce the Escrow Amount by the Agreed Amount), or (III) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Stockholder Representative in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, then the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 6.3(c) below. Failure of the Stockholder Representative to timely respond in writing in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 6.3(a) shall be treated as agreement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to all of the Claimed Amount.

(b) Procedure for Third Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third party claim which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in a Loss, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative of such claim by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Stockholder Representative. Delay or failure in so notifying the Stockholder Representative shall relieve the Stockholder Representative of its obligations under this Article VI only to the extent, if at all, that the Stockholder is actually prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. If there is a third party claim that, if adversely determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses hereunder, then any amounts incurred or accrued in defense of such third party claim, regardless of the outcome of such claim, shall be deemed Losses hereunder. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, the Stockholder Representative may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim if (1) the Stockholder Representative provides written notice to such Indemnified Party that the Stockholder Representative intends to undertake such defense and that the Stockholders will indemnify the Indemnified Parties against all Losses resulting from or relating to such third-party claim; (2) the Stockholder Representative provides such Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party that the Stockholders will have the financial resources to defend against the third-party claimant and fulfill their indemnification obligations hereunder; (3) the third-party claim involves only monetary damages that will be fully covered by the Escrow Amount (taking into account all other pending claims against the Escrow Amount) and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (4) settlement of or an adverse judgment with respect to the third-party claim is not, in the good faith judgment of Blackbaud, likely to establish a precedent adverse to the continuing business of Blackbaud, and (5) the defense of the third-party claim is conducted actively and diligently by legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party. If the Stockholder Representative undertakes such defense, Blackbaud will, and will cause the Company to provide the Stockholder Representative with all relevant records, except as may be prohibited by Law or an obligation of confidentiality or is otherwise privileged. If the Stockholder Representative does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Stockholder Representative assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice of counsel, that the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Stockholder Representative be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel per jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party reasonably advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written

 

-41-


consent of the Stockholder Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Stockholder Representative shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of all potential Indemnified Parties from all Liability with respect thereto or that imposes any Liability on any potential Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party.

(c) Resolution of Conflicts. In case the Stockholder Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate, the Stockholder Representative and Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims within forty-five (45) days following the delivery by the Stockholder Representative of its response to such Officer’s Certificate. If the Stockholder Representative and Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. Blackbaud shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make deliveries from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms thereof.

6.4 Escrow. As of the Closing, Blackbaud shall hold the Escrow Amount for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations set forth in Article VI of this Agreement and, at Blackbaud’s option, the Working Capital Deficiency set forth in Section 1.4(a) of this Agreement. The Escrow Amount shall be held in an account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (acting through its Sydney branch) opened jointly in the name of Blackbaud Pacific Pty Ltd ACN 095 925 170 and Nathan Betteridge (as Stockholder Representative), with the interest accruing in favor of the Stockholders but subject to recovery by Blackbaud under this Article VI. Within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the Survival Date, Blackbaud shall pay to the Stockholders the Escrow Amount (including any accrued interest thereon and without regard to any income Taxes payable by Blackbaud on such interest) not previously released to Blackbaud and retain any Escrow Amount subject to unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Stockholder Representative prior to the expiration of the Survival Date. Within five (5) Business Days after all such claims have been resolved, Blackbaud shall deliver to the Stockholders the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount (including any accrued interest thereon and without regard to any income Taxes payable by Blackbaud on such interest). Deliveries of the Escrow Amount to the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be made in proportion to their respective original contributions to the Escrow Amount.

6.5 Stockholder Representative.

(a) The Stockholders, by the approval and adoption of this Agreement, confirm the authorization of the Stockholder Representative (i) to take all action necessary to negotiate, document and close the transactions contemplated hereby, or the defense and/or settlement of any claims for which the Stockholders may be required to indemnify Blackbaud or any other Indemnified Party pursuant to Article VI hereof, (ii) to give and receive all notices required to be given under this Agreement, and (iii) to take any and all additional action as is contemplated to be taken by or on behalf of the holders of the Company Capital Stock by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) All decisions and actions by the Stockholder Representative, including any agreement between the Stockholder Representative and Blackbaud relating to the defense or settlement of any claims for which the Stockholders may be required to indemnify Blackbaud pursuant to Article VI hereof, shall be binding upon all of the Stockholders, and no Stockholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(c) The Stockholder Representative shall not have any Liability to any of the parties hereto or to the Stockholders for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while

 

-42-


acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Stockholders shall severally indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold him harmless against any loss, Liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs incurred by the Stockholder Representative. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Stockholders, such losses, liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from the Escrow Amount held by Blackbaud that is otherwise distributable to Stockholders (and not retained or to be retained by Blackbaud or subject to a pending indemnification claim of Blackbaud) pursuant to the terms hereof.

(d) The Stockholder Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Stockholder to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Stockholders under this Article VI.

(e) By his, her or its approval of the Sale and this Agreement, each Stockholder agrees, in addition to the foregoing, that:

(i) Blackbaud and any other Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Stockholder Representative as to (i) the settlement of any claims for indemnification by Blackbaud or such Indemnified Party pursuant to Article VI hereof, or (ii) any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative hereunder, and no party hereunder shall have any cause of action against Blackbaud or such Indemnified Party for any action taken by Blackbaud or such Indemnified Party in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Stockholder Representative;

(ii) all actions, decisions and instructions of the Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Stockholders and no Stockholder shall have any cause of action against the Stockholder Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud or willful misconduct by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the matters described in this Section 6.5;

(iii) the provisions of this Section 6.5 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Stockholder may have in connection with the Transactions;

(iv) remedies available at law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 6.5 are inadequate; therefore, Blackbaud shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving damages if Blackbaud brings an action to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.5.

(f) The individual serving as the Stockholder Representative may resign (upon no less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Blackbaud and each holder of record of Company Capital Stock that was outstanding as of the Closing Date). In the event of the death or permanent disability of the then Stockholder Representative, or if the then-acting Stockholder Representative shall give notice of intent to resign, the holders of a majority in interest of Company Capital Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date shall, by written notice to Blackbaud, appoint a successor Stockholder Representative as soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following such death, permanent disability or notice of intent to resign. In addition, the individual serving as the Stockholder Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the Company Capital Stock

 

-43-


outstanding as of the Closing Date upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Blackbaud and each holder of record of Company Capital Stock that was outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each successor Stockholder Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Stockholder Representative, and the term “Stockholder Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include any such successor Stockholder Representatives.

(g) The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Stockholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Stockholder or the Stockholders shall mean and include the successors to the rights of the Stockholders hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the Laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.
