(c) Within 60 days after the Effective Time, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller Representative a written determination of the Net Assets as of 11:59 p.m. Central Time on the day before the Closing Date (“Closing Date Net Assets”), which written determination shall contain reasonable detail and supporting documents showing the computation of such determination and the components of assets and liabilities included therein.

Each Party shall have reasonable access to the relevant financial books and records of the Company to confirm or audit Closing Date Net Assets computations. If the Seller Representative disagrees with the Buyer’s determination of Closing Date Net Assets, the Seller Representative shall notify the Buyer in writing within 20 days after the Buyer’s delivery of its determination of Closing Date Net Assets and state in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement. Failure of the Seller Representative to deliver such a notice of disagreement within such 20 day period shall constitute the Sellers’ acceptance of the Buyer’s determination of Closing Date Net Assets as delivered to the Seller Representative under this Section 2.4. If the Seller Representative and the Buyer fail to agree within 30 days after the Seller Representative’s delivery of notice of disagreement on the amount of Closing Date Net Assets, such disagreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(d), which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for resolving disputes relative to the determination of the amount of Closing Date Net Assets under this Section 2.4.

(d) In the event that the Seller Representative and the Buyer are not able to agree on the Closing Date Net Assets within 30 days after the Seller Representative’s delivery of notice of disagreement pursuant to Section 2.4(c), the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall each have the right to require that

- 14 -

such disputed determination be submitted to BDO Xxxxxxx, or if BDO Xxxxxxx is not available for any reason or does not maintain its independent status, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, LLP or such other independent certified public accounting firm as the Seller Representative and Buyer may then promptly mutually agree upon in writing (the “Accounting Firm”) for computation or verification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Accounting Firm shall review the matters in dispute and, acting as arbitrator, shall promptly decide the proper amounts of such disputed entries (which decision shall also include a final calculation of Closing Date Net Assets). The submission of the disputed matter to the Accounting Firm shall be the exclusive remedy for resolving disputes relative to the determination of Closing Date Net Assets under this Section 2.4. If issues are submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) each Seller, the Company and the Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Accounting Firm may request and are available to that Party or its agents, and the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; (ii) the determination by the Accounting Firm, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both the Seller Representative and the Buyer within 60 days of the submission to the Accounting Firm, of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be used in the calculation of Closing Date Net Assets; and (iii) one-half of the Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses shall be paid by the Sellers, and one-half of such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Buyer. The final calculation of Closing Date Net Assets pursuant to this Section 2.4, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.4, is referred to herein as the “Closing Date Net Assets Calculation.”

(e) If the Closing Date Net Assets Calculation as finally agreed upon or determined pursuant to this Section 2.4 equals or exceeds the Estimated Net Assets, the Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers the Net Assets Holdback. In addition, if the Closing Date Net Assets Calculation exceeds the Estimated Net Assets, then the Buyer shall pay to the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, an amount equal to such excess with interest. If the Estimated Net Assets exceed the Closing Date Net Assets Calculation as finally agreed upon or determined pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Seller Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay the Buyer out of the Net Assets Holdback an amount equal to such excess with interest. If the difference between the Estimated Net Assets and the Closing Date Net Assets Calculation exceeds the Net Assets Holdback, then the Sellers (on a several basis) will pay the amount of such excess to the Buyer. Any payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(e), is referred to as the “Net Assets Adjustment Payment.” The Net Assets Adjustment Payment, together with interest thereon from the Closing Date until the date of payment at the rate of interest published as the “Prime Rate” in the “Money Rates” column of

- 15 -

the Southwest Edition of The Wall Street Journal (or the average of such rates if more than one rate is indicated) on the Closing Date, shall be paid by the Escrow Agent and, if applicable, the Buyer to the Seller Representative, by the Escrow Agent to the Buyer or by the Sellers to the Buyer, as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Party that is to receive the Net Assets Adjustment Payment, not later than five days after the amount of the Net Assets Adjustment Payment is finally agreed upon or determined pursuant to this Section 2.4. After payment of the Net Assets Adjustment Payment or if no Net Assets Adjustment Payment is required, any amount of the Net Assets Holdback and any interest thereon remaining on deposit with the Escrow Agent, if any, shall be paid to the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers.

2.5. Part 12 Holdback.

(a) Holdback Generally. The $14,000,000 Part 12 Holdback will be held in a separate escrow account and will be released to the Sellers incrementally over three years ($5,000,000 thirty days after the first anniversary of the Closing, $5,000,000 thirty days after the second anniversary and the balance thirty days after the third anniversary, subject to actual and pending claims). The Part 12 Holdback account shall bear interest at money market interest rates for the benefit of the party ultimately receiving such funds.

(b) Types of Claims. The Part 12 Holdback will be paid to the Sellers unless the Company has been unsuccessful in defending a challenge to Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 12 classification. The defense of a Part 12 classification challenge will be considered unsuccessful for purposes of the Part 12 Holdback, if and only if, one of the following events occurs: (i) a challenged commercial catalog product is sold on a Part 15 basis (a “Part 15 Claim”), or (ii) a contract is rejected because the purchaser will only buy a commercial catalog product on a Part 15 basis and the Company refuses to sell the product on that basis, as defined by the decision tree shown in Exhibit B “Rejection Business Claim Decision Tree” (a “Rejection Claim”).

(c) EBITDA Thresholds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim against the Part 12 Holdback shall be paid for a Rejection Claim incurred during a particular year if the Company’s actual EBITDA meets or exceeds the forecasted EBITDA for the relevant year. For purposes of the payment of the Part 12 Holdback, the forecasted EBITDA for each year during the Part 12 Holdback period is:

Jan-Dec 2011: $14,548,000

Jan-Dec 2012: $15,994,000

- 16 -

Jan-Dec 2013: $18,733,000

For purposes of this Agreement, EBITDA will be understood to mean the earnings of the Company before adjustments for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all calculated on a GAAP basis from the Company’s regularly prepared financial statements.

(d) Determination of Claim Amount.

(i) For Part 15 Claims, the amount of the Buyer’s claim will be calculated by deducting the net present value (using a 5% discount rate) of the stream of payments anticipated to be received under the accepted contract from the net present value (using a 5% discount rate) of the same stream of payments if the purchaser had paid the gross commercial catalog sales price for the products. The anticipated ship dates in the supply agreement or purchase order will be used as the anticipated payment dates for purposes of the net present value calculation. The Buyer will assert claims against the Part 12 Holdback promptly after the Company’s acceptance of the supply agreement or purchase order, but in any event, prior to the final distribution of the Part 12 Holdback.

(ii) For Rejection Claims, the amount of the claim will be 31% of the then-current gross commercial catalog sales price for products identified on a refused contract. Rejection Claims will be asserted by the Buyer within 30 days following the final determination of EBITDA for the period relating to the claim. For example, if 10 units were to have been delivered in March 2011 and 20 units in September 2011, the Buyer will submit a Rejection Claim, if applicable, with respect to the 30 units in January 2012. If the rejected contract included shipments after the third anniversary of the Closing, the claim related to those shipments will be discounted (at a 5% discount rate) back to the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Such Rejection Claims with respect to shipments scheduled following the third anniversary will be permitted only if the applicable EBITDA threshold was not met for the final period of the Part 12 Holdback period.

(e) Other Part 12 Holdback Procedures. If a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) or Request for Quotation (“RFQ”) has not been finally accepted or rejected but an annual distribution to the Sellers is upcoming, the Buyer may submit a notice to the Escrow Agent causing that such distribution shall be delayed until after it is determined if either a Part 15 Claim or a Rejection Claim may be asserted with respect to the subject contract. Any challenge to Part 12 classification arising with respect to proposals or solicitations first submitted after the third anniversary of the Closing will not result in any claim against the sellers or adjustment to the purchase price. In no event shall the total Part 12 indemnification claims exceed the Part 12 Holdback. On a given distribution date, if there are no pending claims, the Escrow Agent will distribute to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their Share ownership, (i) the amount to be distributed on such date pursuant to Section 2.5(a), minus (ii) the amount of any

- 17 -

Part 15 Claim and Rejection Claim payments made to the Buyer during such annual period, plus (iii) the amount of interest earned on the amount to be distributed to the Sellers. If a claim is currently pending at the time of the distribution of the holdback, only the potential amount of such claim shall be held back and the distribution of that potential claim shall be made within five business days of the resolution of the last of the pending claims.

2.6. The Seller Representative.

(a) Each Seller hereby constitutes and appoints Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx as its representative and true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”) with full power and authority in each of their names and on behalf of each of them:

By execution of the “Acceptance and Agreement of Seller Representative” attached hereto, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx accepts such appointment and grant.

(c) Each Seller consents to the taking by the Seller Representative of any and all actions and the making by the Seller Representative of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by the Seller Representative pursuant

(d) Each Seller agrees that the Seller Representative shall have no obligation or liability to any Person for any action or omission taken or omitted by the Seller Representative in good faith hereunder.

(e) The Buyer shall be entitled to conclusively rely, without any independent verification or inquiry, upon any document or notice delivered by the Seller Representative or upon any other action taken by the Seller Representative as (i) genuine and correct and (ii) having been duly signed or sent or taken by the Seller Representative.

(f) Payments made to or as directed by the Seller Representative under Section 2.3(c), Section 2.6 or any other provision of this Agreement are sufficient and binding to the same extent as though such payments were made directly to the appropriate Seller. The Buyer shall not have any responsibility or liability for any further delivery or application of any such payment, it being agreed by the Sellers that, on the terms set forth herein, (i) any payment the Buyer is required to make hereunder to any Seller may be made to or as directed by the Seller Representative on behalf of such Seller, as the case may be, (ii) the Sellers shall determine among themselves the amount due to each Seller from each payment made to or as directed by the Seller Representative hereunder, and (iii) each Seller shall look solely to the Seller Representative for such Seller’s respective share of any payment made to or as directed by the Seller Representative hereunder.

(g) The Seller Representative or any successor thereto may appoint a successor Seller Representative (the “Successor Seller Representative”). To be effective, such appointment must be (i) written, (ii) signed by the outgoing Seller Representative or outgoing Successor Seller Representative as the Seller Representative hereunder, (iii) indicate such appointment, (iv) signed by the Successor Seller Representative to indicate its acceptance of such appointment and its agreement to be bound by the terms hereof pertaining to the Seller Representative, and (v) delivered to the Buyer. Upon such an appointment of a Successor Seller Representative under this Agreement, such Successor Seller Representative will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Seller Representative, and the predecessor Seller Representative shall be discharged from such predecessor Seller Representative’s duties and obligations under this Agreement.

2.7. Escrow Amount. The Escrow Amount will be available to satisfy indemnity claims made by the Buyer pursuant to Section 11, and any amount remaining available after 18 months from the Closing (not subject to a pending claim) will be released to the Seller Representative for distribution to the Sellers, all as provided for in more detail in the Escrow Agreement.

- 19 -

2.8. Tax Withholding. If Buyer determines that the withholding of any amount from the consideration payable to Sellers pursuant to this Agreement is required under any applicable Legal Requirements, Buyer will give reasonable advance written notice to Seller of such withholding obligation. Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any such payments such amounts as Buyer reasonably determines are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and are paid over for Sellers’ account according to applicable Legal Requirements, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers as provided in the Agreement. If Buyer’s obligation to withhold with respect to a payment to Sellers can be reduced or eliminated through the provision of a certification or applicable form, Buyer shall provide Sellers with a reasonable opportunity to provide such certification or form.

(a) The Buyer shall have no right to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or, to the extent relating to any failure to perform or comply at or prior to the Closing, Section 11.2(b), until the aggregate amount of all Losses that would be indemnifiable under Subsection 11.2(a) but for the limitation in this Subsection 11.4(a), exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Deductible”), whereupon, subject to the other limitations and provisions of this Section 11, the Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification only for the amount by which such indemnifiable Losses exceed the Deductible; provided, however, that the preceding limitations in this Section 11.4(a) shall not be applicable to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) for any Losses arising or resulting from a breach or alleged breach of the Company Specified Representations, the Sellers Specified Representations or from fraud or Losses relating to or arising out of, or in connection with, any Company 401(k) Plan incurred prior to the Closing or relating to or arising out of, or in connection with, any failures, violations, errors or omissions that occurred prior to the Closing (including Losses covered by Section 13.8).

- 50 -

(b) The maximum, aggregate amount of Losses for which the Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) and, to the extent relating to any failure to perform or comply at or prior to the Closing, Section 11.2(b), shall not exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) (the “Cap Amount”); provided, however, that the preceding limitation in this Section 11.4(b) shall not be applicable to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) for any Losses arising or resulting from a breach or alleged breach of the Company Specified Representations, the Sellers Specified Representations or from fraud or Losses relating to or arising out of, or in connection with, any Company 401(k) Plan incurred prior to the Closing or relating to or arising out of, or in connection with, any failures, violations, errors or omissions that occurred prior to the Closing (including Losses covered by Section 13.8).

(c) The maximum, aggregate amount for which the Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) for Losses arising or resulting from a breach or alleged breach of the Company Specified Representations, the Sellers Specified Representations or from fraud shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(d) The liability of each Seller under Section 11.2 shall be several and each Seller shall only be liable for such Seller’s proportionate share (calculated by reference to the percentage ownership of such Seller of the Shares as set forth on Exhibit A) of any Losses requiring indemnification under Section 11.2.

(e) The Sellers shall have no right to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.3(a) or to the extent relating to any failure to return or comply at or prior to the Closing, Section 11.3(b), until the aggregate amount of all Losses that would be indemnifiable under such Subsection 11.4(e)(i) but for the limitation in this Section 11.4(e)(ii), exceeds the Deductible, whereupon, subject to the other limitations and provisions of this Section 11, the Sellers shall be entitled to indemnification only for the amount by which such indemnifiable Losses exceed the Deductible; provided, however, that the preceding limitation in this Section 11.4(e) shall not be applicable to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.3(a) for any Losses arising or resulting from a breach or alleged breach of the Buyer Specified Representations or from fraud.

(f) The maximum, aggregate amount of Losses for which the Sellers shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.3(a) shall not exceed the Cap Amount; provided, however, that the preceding limitation in this Section 11.4(f) shall not be applicable to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.3(a) for any Losses arising or resulting from a breach or alleged breach of the Buyer Specified Representations or from fraud.

(g) The maximum, aggregate amount for which the Sellers shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.3(a) for Losses arising or

- 51 -

resulting from a breach or alleged breach of the Buyer Specified Representations or from fraud shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(h) In determining the amount of Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under any provision of this Section 11, any related insurance proceeds that are actually received will be taken into account.

(i) The amount of Losses taken into account for any purpose under this Section 11 shall be reduced by the amount of any Liabilities that (i) specifically relate to such Losses, (ii) are set forth in the Estimated Net Assets as finally agreed upon or determined pursuant to Section 2.4, and (iii) are taken into account in the determination of the Closing Date Net Assets.

(j) No Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification from any Indemnifying Party for any Losses relating to any matter arising or resulting from this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents to the extent that such Indemnified Party, its successors or assigns has recovered such Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement.

(k) No Party shall be liable to the other Party, either in contract or in tort, for any of the following relating to any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered in connection with this Agreement, and none of the following shall be included in the determination as to whether any Losses have been incurred or as to the amount of any Losses incurred, in each case whether or not the possibility of any of the following has been disclosed to a Party in advance or could have been reasonably foreseen by a Party: (i) punitive damages, (ii) special, consequential or incidental damages, (iii) loss of future revenue, income or profits, cost of capital or loss of business reputation or opportunity, or (iv) diminution in value or multiples of earnings damages; provided, however, that this Section 11.4(k) shall not apply with respect to such damages payable by a Party to a third party as a result of a Third Party Claim and for which such Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.

11.5. Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after the receipt by a Party or any of its Affiliates of notice of any claim or Proceeding that is threatened or asserted by any third party which is subject to indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), such Party shall, if a claim for indemnification is to be made against the other Party under this Section 11, give notice of such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have on account of its indemnification obligation or otherwise, except to the extent that the defense of such Third Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice.

- 52 -

(b) The Indemnifying Party may, at its sole cost and expense, upon notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after the Indemnifying Party receives notice of a Third Party Claim, assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 11 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless (i) the compromise, settlement or judgment is solely for money damages that have been paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) the Indemnified Party consents thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(c) If notice of a Third Party Claim is given to an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 11.5(a), and the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, or assumes but thereafter fails to diligently conduct such defense, the Indemnified Party may defend such Third Party Claim in a reasonable manner, including settling such Third Party Claim on such terms as the Indemnified Party deems appropriate; provided, however, that whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed or diligently conducted the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(d) In connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, give the Indemnifying Party full access to all information relevant thereto and make its and their respective Representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any such material provided hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.5, any Third Party Claim that is a Tax Proceeding shall be governed by the provisions of Section 12.6.

11.6. Procedure for Indemnification – Other Claims. A claim for indemnification hereunder for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom such indemnification is sought.

11.7. Escrow. If any portion of the Escrow Amount remains subject to the Escrow Agreement, any liability of the Sellers for indemnification hereunder shall be

- 53 -

first satisfied out of the Escrow Amount to the extent that sufficient funds are available under the Escrow Agreement.

11.8. Mitigation. Upon any Indemnified Party becoming aware of any matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11, such Indemnified Party shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Losses arising or resulting from such matter.

11.9. Subrogation. To the extent that an Indemnifying Party discharges any claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates against third parties relating to such claim.

11.10. Exclusivity of Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any agreement or document delivered in connection with this Agreement, or provided under any applicable Legal Requirement, from and after the Closing, the remedies set forth in Section 2.4, this Section 11, Section 14.7, Section 13.8, and Section 14.8, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties with respect to any and all of the Contemplated Transactions and matters covered by or arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 2.4 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to all items which are the subject of the calculations to be made pursuant to such Section.

SECTION 12. TAX MATTERS

12.1. Proration of Taxes. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes of the Company attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on (i) in the case of Taxes other than ad valorem or similar property Taxes, on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of ad valorem or similar property Taxes, pro rata on the basis of the number of days in such Straddle Period. All transactions occurring on the Closing Date, other than transactions required to effect this Agreement and transactions in the Ordinary Course of Business, shall be treated as occurring on the following day. The tax consequences of any deemed asset sale under IRC Section 338 or similar Legal Requirements shall be solely for Buyer’s account, and Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if no such deemed asset sale occurred.

12.2. Tax Returns.

(a) The Company shall have responsibility for preparing and timely filing all Tax Returns relating to the Company that are required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date, and for timely paying all Taxes relating to such Tax Returns. The Buyer shall have responsibility for preparing and timely filing all

- 54 -

Tax Returns relating to the Company required to be filed after the Closing Date, including any Tax Returns for any Straddle Periods, and for timely paying all Taxes relating to such Tax Returns, provided that nothing in this Section 12.2(a) shall affect any indemnification obligations of the Sellers with respect to such Taxes pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Any Tax Return relating to the Company that includes any Pre-Closing Tax Period, shall, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Legal Requirement or approved by the Parties, be prepared in accordance with past Tax accounting practices used with respect to the Tax Returns in question. To the extent any items are not covered by past practices, or to the extent such past practices are not permissible under applicable Tax Legal Requirement, the items may be reported in accordance with any reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by the Person responsible for preparing the Tax Return.

(c) If requested by the Sellers, the Buyer shall make available to the Company, the Sellers and their Representatives for review and comment any Tax Returns and related workpapers prepared by the Buyer or its Affiliates relating to the Company that includes any Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to make such Tax Return and workpapers available for review as required under this paragraph sufficiently in advance of the due date for filing such Tax Returns to provide the Sellers with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Tax Returns and have such Tax Returns modified before filing. The Buyer and the Sellers shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of such Tax Returns.

(d) Neither the Sellers nor any of their post-Closing Affiliates will, and neither the Buyer nor any of its post-Closing Affiliates (including the Company) will, file any amended return, carryback claim, or other adjustment request relating to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Straddle Period) unless such action is required by applicable Legal Requirements, or the Party that is (or whose Affiliate is) proposing to file the return, claim, or adjustment request has obtained the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

12.3. Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refund received by the Buyer or the Company and any credit against otherwise required Tax payments of Buyer or the Company (including any refund or reduction in estimated Tax payments) (a “Tax Benefit”) that relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of the Sellers, but only to the extent such Tax Benefits are in excess of any accrued Tax Benefit of the Company (not including any accrual for Tax Benefits with respect to temporary differences between book and Tax income) in the Closing Date Net Assets. The calculation of the Tax Benefit relating to any taxable period shall take into account any corresponding increase in Taxes due for the taxable period. For example, the Tax Benefit attributable to any reduction in state Taxes will be calculated net of any corresponding increase in federal income Tax. Any Tax Benefit for any Straddle Period

- 55 -

shall be prorated between the Sellers and the Buyer in accordance with the principles of Section 12.1.

12.4. Inter-period Adjustments. In calculating the amount of any Tax due from the Sellers, or Tax Benefit due to the Sellers, hereunder with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, proper accounting shall be made for any Tax items arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period that directly relate to such Tax or Tax Benefit. For example, if the Sellers are entitled to a Tax Benefit for any Pre-Closing Tax Period resulting from increased depreciation deductions claimed in the Pre-Closing Tax Period, any corresponding increase in Taxes due for any Post-Closing Tax Period as a result of lower depreciable basis in the Post-Closing Tax Period shall likewise be for the Sellers’ account and shall constitute a Tax liability of the Sellers that shall reduce the amount of any such Tax Benefit. Conversely, if any Tax assessment for any Pre-Closing Tax Period produces a Tax Benefit for any Post-Closing Tax Period, the Tax Benefit for the Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the Sellers’ account. For purposes of this Section 12.4, the amount of any Taxes or Tax Benefit arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period shall be reasonably determined by the Buyer. A refund of Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period attributable to a carryback of a net operating loss arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for Buyer’s account.

12.5. Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties shall cooperate to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation shall include, upon some other Party’s request, the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding and making Representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Such cooperation shall include promptly forwarding copies of notices and other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Body relating to Taxes of the Company for which such other Party may be responsible under applicable Legal Requirements or this Agreement.

(b) Upon request, the Buyer and the Sellers shall use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including any Tax with respect to the Contemplated Transactions).

12.6. Tax Proceedings. After the Closing, the Sellers and the Buyer shall provide prompt written notice to each other of any Tax Proceeding that it becomes aware of which, if determined adverse to either Party, would be grounds for indemnification under this Agreement by the other Party. The obligation to provide notice applies to all material matters related to the Tax Proceeding, such that there is a continuing obligation to provide notice of the commencement of the Tax Proceeding as well as all material developments in the Tax Proceeding. Such notice shall contain

- 56 -

factual information (to the extent known) describing the matter in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice or other document received from or with any Tax authority in respect of any such matters. Failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Party entitled to receive the notice from any Liability which it may have on account of its indemnification obligation or otherwise, except to the extent that the Party entitled to receive notice is materially prejudiced thereby. The Sellers, at their sole expense, shall have the right to represent the Company before any Tax authority or any court regarding any Tax Proceeding relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period other than a Straddle Period with respect to any asserted liability for which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Sellers shall allow Buyer and its counsel to participate in any such Tax Proceeding; and provided further, that the Sellers shall not enter into any settlement of any contest or otherwise compromise any issue in connection with such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Sellers shall keep Buyer fully and timely informed with respect to any such Tax Proceeding. Buyer shall have the exclusive authority to represent the Company with respect to any Tax Proceeding for all Post-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods; provided, however, that the Buyer shall allow the Sellers and its counsel to participate in any such Tax Proceeding in a Straddle Period to the extent such Tax Proceeding relates to any Tax or Tax Benefit for the Sellers’ account; and provided further, that if the Buyer enters into any settlement of any contest or otherwise compromises any such Tax or Tax Benefit for the Sellers’ account in connection with such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (a) any additional Losses arising as a direct result of such settlement or compromise shall not be subject to indemnification by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement under Section 11 or otherwise and (b) any Tax Benefit foregone as a direct result of such settlement or compromise shall be treated as having been realized by the Buyer for Sellers’ account. The Buyer shall keep the Sellers fully and timely informed with respect to any such Tax Proceeding.

12.7. Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar transfer Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions shall be borne by the Buyer and the Seller equally; provided, however, that any such Taxes, fees and charges incurred in connection with any financing of the Buyer shall be paid solely by the Buyer. The Party required by applicable Legal Requirements shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, the other Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of such Tax Returns and other documentation.

12.8. Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements (other than this Agreement) between the Company and any Person that is not the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and there

- 57 -

will be no Liability of the Buyer or the Company under any such agreement following the Closing Date.

12.9. Noncompetition. For Tax purposes, no portion of the Purchase Price (or other applicable amounts) shall be treated as consideration for the noncompetition agreement referenced in Section 13.6.

SECTION 13. OTHER POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

13.1. Transaction Costs. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, each Party shall bear and pay all of its Transaction Costs. The Company will pay the Transaction Costs of the Sellers and the Seller Representative. The Buyer will pay the HSR Act filing fee. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of each Party to pay its own Transaction Costs will be subject to any rights of such party arising from a breach of this Agreement by another party.

13.2. Confidentiality. The Parties will maintain in confidence, and will cause their Representatives to maintain in confidence, and not use to the detriment of another Party any written, oral or other information obtained in confidence from another Party in connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, unless (a) such information is already known to such Party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no fault of such Party, (b) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any filing or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, or (c) the furnishing or use of such information is required pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Proceeding. If the Contemplated Transactions are not consummated, each Party will return or destroy as much of such written information as any other Party may reasonably request.

13.3. Further Assurances. Each Party agrees (a) to furnish upon request to any other Party such further information, (b) to execute and deliver to any other Party such other documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as any other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions and the agreements and documents referred to herein.

13.4. Public Announcements. Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, no Party shall issue, and each shall prevent its respective Affiliates from issuing, any press releases or other public statements with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that either the Company or the Buyer (and their Affiliates) may, without such approval, make such press releases or other public announcement as such Party believes are required pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirements, in which case the Party that is (or whose Affiliate is) required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other Party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; provided, further, that a Party or its Affiliates may make internal announcements to the

- 58 -

employees of such Party or its Affiliates that are consistent with the Parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the Contemplated Transactions.

13.5. Employees and Employee Matters. Immediately following the Closing Date the Company shall, and the Buyer shall cause each Company to, continue to employ each employee of the Company on an at-will basis (the employees remaining employed by the Company shall be referred to collectively as “Continued Employees”). The Company shall provide each Continued Employee with the same, or a substantially similar position, at the same, or a substantially similar salary, and on the same, or substantially the same, terms and conditions as was provided to the Continued Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall be liable for all severance or other benefits that employees become entitled to receive pursuant to employment policies, plans and/or agreements of the Company.

13.6. Noncompetition.

(a) For a period of five years after the Closing Date (the “Restriction Period”), each Seller covenants that such Seller shall not, and will cause such Seller’s Affiliates to not, anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, advise, render services to, guarantee the obligations of, or be employed by any Person (other than the Company) whose primary business is the design, manufacture, distribution and sale of products or services related to communications intercept receivers, provided however, that for purposes of this Section 13.6, such Seller may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) five percent of any class of the securities of any Person (but may not otherwise participate in the activities of such Person) if such securities are listed on any national securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

(b) During the Restriction Period, each Seller covenants that it will not (i) solicit or otherwise induce any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company or (ii) hire, directly or indirectly, any person who was an employee of the Company, unless such person has approached the Seller without any solicitation or inducement (other than newspaper or online advertisements not specifically directed at employees of the Company) by the Seller.

(c) If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in this Section 13.6 is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. This Section 13.6 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 13.6

- 59 -

is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Company and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on the Sellers.

(d) Each of the Sellers acknowledges that it has had access to confidential and proprietary information with respect to the Company, its Products and business and that the Company and the Buyer would be materially damaged if the Sellers were to disclose such information to third parties that were not authorized to receive such information. Accordingly, each of the Sellers agrees and covenants that following the Closing it will continue to maintain the confidentiality of the Company’s proprietary and confidential information in a manner consistent with the terms of the confidentiality agreement attached to the Company’s employee manual as the same exists as of the date of this Agreement.

13.7. Records Retention and Access.

(a) For four years after the Closing Date, the Parties agree that, with respect to any books, records and files, including Tax Records, relating to the Company that are delivered to the control of the Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that are retained by the Company or the Sellers or their Affiliates following Closing (collectively “Business Records”), each such Person shall have the right upon prior written notice to inspect and make copies of the same at any time during normal business hours for any proper purpose. Each Party shall undertake reasonable measures to (a) preserve the Business Records in its or its Affiliates’ possession in good order to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, and (b) not destroy or allow the destruction of any such Business Records without first offering in writing to deliver them to the other Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party shall retain until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof) complete copies of all Tax Returns relating to the Company, supporting work schedules and other records or information that are relevant to such Tax Returns (collectively, “Tax Records”) delivered to such Party or retained by such Party pursuant to this Agreement for all Tax periods or portions thereof ending before or including the Effective Time.

(b) Nothing in Section 13.5 shall require the Sellers or the Buyer to provide access to or disclosure of any information or documents (i) relating to the Sellers’ or the Buyer’s assets or activities other than the assets and activities of either the Company, or (ii) to the extent such access and disclosure would (A) violate any applicable Legal Requirements, (B) violate the terms of any Contract to which the disclosing Person or any of its Affiliates is bound, or (C) impair any attorney-client, work-product or similar privilege of the disclosing Person.

(c) Any information or Business Records provided pursuant to Section 12.5 or Section 13.5 shall be kept confidential by the Person receiving the

- 60 -

information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any Tax Proceeding or as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

13.8. Company 401(k) Plans. Sellers acknowledge and agree that Buyer may take any steps (or cause the Company to take any steps) that Buyer reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate to correct any compliance failures, fiduciary violations and/or prohibited transactions identified by Buyer or the Company with respect to the Company 401(k) Plans, including filing under the IRS Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (“EPCRS”), the DOL’s Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program (“DFVC”) and/or the DOL’s Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (“VFCP”). Each Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and against any Losses incurred by Buyer or the Company by reason of, or arising out of or in connection with, such corrections, whether incurred before or after Closing, and any additional actions the IRS or DOL may require as a condition to the issuance of a compliance statement or no action letter covering such corrections or that Buyer, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or appropriate with respect to such compliance failures, fiduciary violations and/or prohibited transactions. The Sellers’ indemnification obligations under this Section 13.8 (a) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Section 11, (b) shall not be subject to any Deductible or Cap Amount set forth in Section 11 or to the Third Party Claims or mitigation provisions set forth in Section 11.5 and Section 11.8, respectively, and (c) shall survive the Closing for thirty-six months or, if longer, until the tenth day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

any Party in exercising any right or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party of any right or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right or privilege under this Agreement nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or privilege under this Agreement.

14.3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (a) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and (b) supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect to such subject matter; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Except for the express representations and warranties of the Parties contained in Section 3, Section 4 and Section 5, or contained in any of the Closing Documents, no Party has made or is making, and no Party has relied upon, any representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, including any implied representation or warranty as to condition, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability or suitability. Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, any cost estimates, projections, predictions, data, financial information, memoranda, offering materials, presentations or other information provided to any Party or any other Person are not and shall not be deemed to be or to include representations or warranties of any Person.

14.4. Amendments. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by an agreement in writing signed by both Parties.

14.5. Assignment; Binding Effect. No Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights, obligations or interests under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided however, that the Buyer will be permitted to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a wholly owned subsidiary without the consent of any other Party. In the event of such an assignment, the Buyer will provide notice to the other Parties hereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.6. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not benefit, or create any legal, equitable or other right, remedy or claim in or on behalf of, any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.7. Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to the other Party for which the other Party would have no adequate remedy at law. In addition to any other remedy to which either Party may be entitled, but in the case of any monetary remedies, subject to the applicable limitations of Section 11.10, each Party agrees that temporary and permanent injunctive and other

- 63 -

equitable relief and specific performance may be granted in any Proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement.

14.8. Attorney’s Fees and Expenses. If any Proceeding is brought by any Party against any other Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such Proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other Party all reasonable attorney’s fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing Party in connection therewith.

14.9. Disclosure Schedules.

(a) The numbering and references in the Sections of the Disclosure Schedules that correspond to Sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and do not limit the disclosure concerning such referenced Sections. Matters expressly set forth in any Section of a Disclosure Schedule are deemed to be set forth and disclosed in all other Sections of such Disclosure Schedule or, if no Section of such Disclosure Schedule exists with respect to a particular representation or warranty, shall be deemed to be disclosed in such Disclosure Schedule with respect to such particular representation or warranty, in either case (i) to the extent this Agreement requires such disclosure and (ii) to the extent (and only to the extent) that the relationship of such disclosure to such other Section of such Disclosure Schedules or particular representation or warranty is reasonably apparent on the face of such first Section.

(b) Between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing and the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, if a Party becomes aware of the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition, such Party shall promptly notify the other Parties in writing. If any such fact or condition would require any change in the applicable Disclosure Schedule delivered by the notifying Party if such Disclosure Schedule was dated the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition, such Party shall promptly deliver to the other Parties an amendment or supplement to such Disclosure Schedule specifying such change. No such disclosure notification, amendment or supplement delivered by any Party pursuant to this Section 14.9(b) shall be given effect for any purpose prior to consummation of the Closing, including for purposes of (a) determining whether the Closing conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 9.1 have been satisfied, or (b) Section 10. Once the Closing has been consummated, any disclosure notification, amendment or supplement delivered by any Party pursuant to this Section 14.9(b) at or prior to the Closing shall be deemed to constitute a part of the Disclosure Schedule of such Party and as permitted exceptions to the representations and warranties of such Party set forth in this Agreement, effective from and after the date of this Agreement.

- 64 -

14.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable any of the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

14.11. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICTS-OF-LAW RULES THAT MAY REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

14.12. Venue. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of Texas, in each case located in the City of Dallas (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each. Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any such court, as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

14.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in multiple counterparts (including through the transmission of signature pages by facsimile or electronic mail, each of which shall constitute an original for all purposes), all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER AGREEMENTS AND DOCUMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF.

14.15. Negotiation and Drafting. Both Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other agreements and documents delivered in connection with this Agreement.
