Exhibit D
 

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Purchase Agreement, dated August 12, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between MAK Capital Fund LP (the “Purchaser”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “Broker”).

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to appoint Broker to purchase on behalf of Purchaser shares of outstanding common stock, $ 0.00 par value (the “Stock”) issued by Agilysis, Inc. (the “Issuer”); and

WHEREAS, the parties intend that the purchases of Stock made pursuant to this Purchase Agreement shall comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”),and that this Purchase Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of that rule.

NOW THEREFORE, the Purchaser and Broker hereby agree as follows:

1.           Broker shall effect one or more purchases (each a “Purchase”) of shares of Stock as set forth on Annex A.  The share amounts and per share prices in Annex A shall be adjusted automatically on a proportionate basis to take into account any stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend with respect to the Stock that occurs during the period this Purchase Agreement remains in effect.  Broker’s sole compensation for services rendered under this Purchase Agreement shall be a commission of $0.02 per share of Stock purchased.

2.           This Purchase Agreement shall become effective one day following the closing of the Issuer’s open window period and shall terminate on the earliest of: (i) the date an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of Stock have been purchased pursuant to this Purchase Agreement; (ii) the date that any person publicly announces a tender or exchange offer with respect to the Stock; (iii) the date of public announcement of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or comparable transaction affecting the securities of the Issuer as a result of which the Stock is to be exchanged or converted into other securities or property, (iv) the date on which Broker receives notice of the intended or actual commencement of any proceedings in respect of or triggered by Purchaser’s bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; (v) the date on which any event of termination described herein shall occur; (vi) promptly after the receipt of written notice of termination signed by a senior officer of Purchaser and confirmed by telephone, it being understood that any such termination shall not cause Purchases previously effected pursuant to this Purchase Agreement to fail to be entitled to the benefits of Rule 10b5-1(c). Any such termination notice shall not indicate the reasons for the termination or contain any material non-public information; or (vii) February 17, 2011, the date in which the Repurchase Period ends.
 


 
3.           Broker may make purchases pursuant to this Purchase Agreement in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.  Purchaser agrees not to attempt to influence when or whether purchases are made by Broker.

4.           Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that:

(i)           As of the date hereof, Purchaser is not aware of material nonpublic information concerning Purchaser and is entering into this Purchase Agreement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1;

(ii)           Purchaser will not, during the period this Purchase Agreement is in effect, enter into any comparable agreement with any other broker if the period of such comparable agreement shall overlap with the period of this Purchase Agreement;

(iii)           Purchases of Stock pursuant to this Purchase Agreement are not prohibited or restricted by any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction or undertaking binding on the Purchaser;
(iv)           Purchaser is not an “affiliated purchaser” (within the meaning of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of the Issuer; and

(v)           Purchaser shall immediately notify Broker if any of the statements contained in paragraphs 4(ii),  4(iii) or 4(iv) above become inaccurate prior to the termination of this Purchase Agreement.

5.           Payment for Stock purchased under this Purchase Agreement shall be made in accordance with normal settlement procedures.  Broker shall establish a Purchase account for Purchaser into which purchased shares of Stock will be deposited against payment to Broker of the purchase price and Broker’s compensation.  These shares of Stock will be placed into transfer on a weekly basis.  Purchaser agrees that the obligation of Broker to make Purchases on any day on which Purchases are to occur pursuant to this Purchase Agreement is conditioned upon Purchaser maintaining compliance with normal settlement procedures.  Any failure by Purchaser to maintain such compliance, as reasonably determined by Broker, shall be deemed an event of termination, and no further Purchases shall thereafter be made pursuant to this Purchase Agreement.

6.           Broker shall provide Purchaser with written confirmation of purchases executed on behalf of Purchaser on a daily basis (showing the date of the transactions, the number of shares purchased, the price paid, Broker’s compensation for the purchases, and settlement dates), as well as other market data or account reports that Purchaser may reasonably request.  Unless otherwise directed by Purchaser, such confirmation shall be delivered to Ray Jimenez [phone: 212-486-3213, fax: 212-486-4779, e-mail: RJimenez@MAKCap.com].
 


 
7.           Purchaser understands that Broker may not be able to effect a Purchase due to a market disruption or a legal or regulatory restriction or a restriction under the terms of any contract applicable to Broker (including any restriction, whether pursuant to a contract, internal policy or otherwise, applicable to Broker when it is involved in a distribution of Stock on behalf of Purchaser or another party) (a “Blackout”).  Purchaser also understands that even in the absence of a Blackout, Broker may be unable to effect Purchases consistent with ordinary principles of best execution due to insufficient volume of trading, failure of the Stock to reach and sustain a limit order price, or other market factors in effect on the date of a Purchase set forth in Annex A ("Unfilled Purchases").

8.           Broker agrees that if Purchaser enters into a transaction that results, in Purchaser’s good faith determination, in the imposition of trading restrictions on the Purchaser (each, a “Purchaser Restriction”), and if Purchaser shall provide Broker prior notice, then Broker will cease effecting Purchases under this Purchase Agreement until notified by Purchaser that such restrictions have terminated. All required notifications to Broker under this paragraph 8 shall be made in writing (signed by Purchaser) and confirmed by telephone as follows: (Attn: Corporate Repurchase Desk, c/o Neil Kearns; Fax No. (212) 493-9487; Tel: (212) 902-5281; or Matthew Chellgren; Fax No. (212) 428-1353; Tel: (212) 902-3198).  Broker shall resume effecting Purchases in accordance with this Purchase Agreement as soon as practicable after the cessation or termination of a Blackout or Purchaser Restriction.  Any Unfilled Purchase, and any Purchases that would have been executed in accordance with the terms of Annex A but are not executed due to the existence of a Blackout or Purchaser Restriction, shall be deemed to be cancelled and shall not be effected pursuant to this Purchase Agreement.

9.           Purchaser agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, communicate any information relating either to the Stock or to the Issuer to any employee of Broker or its affiliates who is involved, directly or indirectly, in executing this Purchase Agreement at any time while this Purchase Agreement is in effect.  Purchaser shall be solely responsible for complying with all reporting or filing requirements, or with any laws not mentioned herein, that may apply to Purchases under this Purchase Agreement.

10.           Purchaser agrees that, in the absence of bad faith, Broker and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, “Broker Persons”) shall not have any liability whatsoever to the Purchaser for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with this Purchase Agreement or the making of any Purchase.  Purchaser further agrees to hold each Broker Person free and harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred or sustained by such Broker Person in connection with or arising out of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Purchase Agreement (each an “Action”) and to reimburse each Broker Person for such Broker Person’s expenses, as they are incurred, in connection with any Action, unless such loss, damage, liability or expense is determined in a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be solely the result of such Broker Person’s bad faith.  This paragraph 10 shall survive termination of this Purchase Agreement.
 


 
11.           This Purchase Agreement is not assignable or transferable, and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, superseding any prior written or oral agreements or understandings with regard to this Purchase Agreement.  This Purchase Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall constitute a single, binding instrument.

12.           This Purchase Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York  without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York and may be modified or amended only by a writing signed by the parties hereto and provided that any such modification or amendment shall only be permitted at a time when the Purchaser is otherwise permitted to effect Purchases under this Purchase Agreement and at a time when the Purchaser is not aware of material nonpublic information concerning the Purchaser or its securities.  In the event of a modification or amendment to this Purchase Agreement, no purchases shall be effected during the ten business days immediately following such modification or amendment (other than Purchases already provided for in this Purchase Agreement prior to modification or amendment).






IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed and delivered this Purchase Agreement as of the date first written above.
