INTRODUCTION

1. The Sellers are engaged, among other matters, in the Business.

2. The Buyer desires to purchase from the Sellers, and the Sellers desire to sell to the Buyer, certain assets of the Sellers relating to the Business as described herein, subject to the assumption of specified liabilities and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

3. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Article X.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

ASSET PURCHASE

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Assets; Assumption of Liabilities.

(a) Acquired Assets. On the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Sellers shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase and acquire from the Sellers, the Acquired Assets.

(b) Assumed Liabilities. On the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Buyer shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge when due the Assumed Liabilities.

(c) Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Assumed Liabilities shall not include the Excluded Liabilities.

1.2 Purchase Price and Related Matters.

(a) Purchase Price. In consideration for the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets, the Buyer shall at the Closing assume the Assumed Liabilities as provided in Section

1.1(b) and shall pay to the Seller the Adjusted Purchase Price, less the Holdback and any amount deducted pursuant to Section 1.2(c), in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller.

(b) Holdback. To secure obligations of the Sellers under Article VI and to confirm the Buyer’s expectations with respect to the Business, the Buyer, pursuant to Section 1.2(a), will withhold the Holdback from the payment of the Adjusted Purchase Price at Closing. After the Closing, the Holdback shall be paid to Sellers in the following amounts, at the following times, and pursuant to the following conditions:

(i) Upon recognizing $1,000,000 in First Year Business Revenue, the Buyer shall promptly pay to the Sellers, out of the Holdback, an amount equal to $200,000 (the “First Level Payment”).

(ii) Upon recognizing $2,000,000 in First Year Business Revenue, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive from Buyer, out of the Holdback, an amount equal to $200,000 (the “Second Level Payment”) and Buyer shall promptly pay the Second Level Payment to the Sellers; provided, however, that Buyer shall only pay the Second Level Payment to the Sellers to the extent of the excess of the Second Level Payment over the amount of any Damages for which Buyer has made claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 (but only to the extent such claims have not been resolved in favor of the Sellers or paid).

(iii) Upon recognizing $2,200,000 in First Year Business Revenue, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive from Buyer, out of the Holdback, a payment of $200,000 (the “Third Level Payment”); provided, however, that Buyer shall not make such Third Level Payment until the 15-month anniversary of the Closing Date; and provided further that Buyer shall only then pay such Third Level Payment to the Sellers to the extent of the excess of the Third Level Payment over the amount of any Damages for which Buyer has made claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 (but only to the extent such claims have not been resolved in favor of the Sellers or paid).

(iv) With respect to any amount of the Second Level Payment and Third Level Payment that is not promptly paid pursuant to Sections 1.2(b)(ii) and (iii), respectively, because it was not in excess of pending Damages claimed by the Buyer (such unpaid amounts, collectively, the “Withheld Revenue Payments”), if at any time thereafter the aggregate balance of Withheld Revenue Payments exceeds the amount of any Damages for which Buyer has made claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 (but only to the extent such claims have not been resolved in favor of the Sellers or paid), Buyer shall promptly pay such excess to the Sellers.

(v) Buyer shall deliver to Sellers within 15 days of the end of each three month period following the Closing Date a certificate signed by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief accounting officer or Buyer (the “Revenue Certificate”) setting forth both the First Year Business Revenue earned during such quarter and the First Year Business Revenue earned from the Closing Date to the end of such quarter (such amounts, the “First Year Business Revenue Calculations”). To the extent not already provided, Buyer shall promptly provide Sellers with copies of any of its books and records relating to the First Year Business Revenue that the Sellers may reasonably request to verify the First Year

-2-

Business Revenue Calculations. The Sellers may, within 15 days of receipt of the Revenue Certificate, object to the Revenue Certificate and the First Year Business Revenue Calculations contained therein by providing written notice of such objection. The Sellers and the Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any objections to the Revenue Certificate and the First Year Business Revenue Calculations. If any such objections are not resolved within 15 days after receipt of the Sellers’ notice of objection, the Parties shall appoint an independent accounting firm of national reputation acceptable to both the Buyer and the Sellers to perform an audit of the Business sufficient to determine the First Year Business Revenue Calculations and otherwise determine the accuracy of the Revenue Certificate. Such independent accounting firm shall promptly resolve any of the Sellers’ unresolved objections, determine the First Year Business Revenue Calculations and deliver a final Revenue Certificate to the Buyer and the Sellers. The determination of the independent accounting firm shall be final and binding on all Parties. The fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm shall be paid proportionately by the Buyer and the Sellers based on the determination of the independent accounting firm of the unresolved objections submitted to it pursuant to this Section 1.2(b). The calculation of such proportionate payments shall be based on the relative position of the determination of the independent accounting firm in comparison to the positions submitted to it by the Buyer and the Sellers pursuant to this Section 1.2(b).

(c) Tax Withholding and Tax Forms. The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it reasonably determines that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Entity and treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Buyer shall also have the right to collect any necessary Tax forms, including Forms W-8 or W-9, as applicable, or any similar information, from any recipients of payments hereunder.

1.3 The Closing.

(xi) the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the Adjusted Purchase Price, less the Holdback and any amount deducted pursuant to Section 1.2(c), in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by GHX LLC;

(xii) in addition to the above deliveries, the Sellers shall take such steps and actions as Buyer may reasonably request to put the Buyer in possession or control of all of the Acquired Assets of a tangible nature; and

(xiii) the Parties shall execute and deliver to each other cross-receipts evidencing the transactions referred to above.

1.4 Deferred Revenue Adjustment.

(a) Not less than two days prior to the Closing, GHX LLC shall deliver to the Buyer (a) a certificate (the “Deferred Revenue Certificate”) of its chief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief accounting officer setting forth with respect to each Assigned Contract to which any portion of the Deferred Revenue Amount relates such portion or portions of the Deferred Revenue Amount attributable to such Assigned Contract, as well as the delivery or deliveries associated therewith; (b) a reasonably detailed description of how Sellers calculated such Deferred Revenue Amount; and (c) a statement of the portion of the Deferred Revenue Amount for which the Sellers have received payment from the applicable customer (the “Paid Deferred Revenue Amount”) and the portion of the Deferred Revenue Amount for which the Sellers have not yet received payment from the applicable customer (the “Billed Deferred

-4-

Revenue Amount”). To the extent Buyer reasonably requests, Sellers shall provide Buyer with copies of its books and records as they relate to the Sellers’ calculation of the Deferred Revenue Amount under this Section 1.4.

(b) The Paid Deferred Revenue Amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price at the Closing.

(c) Upon receipt of payments from customers for any amounts comprising the Billed Deferred Revenue Amount, the Sellers shall promptly pay to the Buyer the amounts so received.

1.5 Consents to Assignment. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Assigned Contract, Permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising under any such Assigned Contract or Permit, or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto or of the issuing Governmental Entity, as the case may be, would constitute a breach thereof. If any Assigned Contract or Permit is not assigned or transferred pursuant to the preceding sentence, or if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights thereunder so that the Buyer would not receive all such rights, then, in each such case, (a) such Deferred Item shall be withheld from sale pursuant to this Agreement without any reduction in the Purchase Price, (b) from and after the Closing, the Sellers and the Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to obtain the Deferred Consent applicable to such Deferred Item as soon as practicable after the Closing, and (c) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, the Sellers and the Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to provide to the Buyer the benefits under each Deferred Item to which such Deferred Consent relates (with the Buyer entitled to all the gains and responsible for all the losses, Taxes, liabilities and/or obligations thereunder). In particular, with respect to each Deferred Item and until the applicable Deferred Consent is obtained, the Buyer and the Sellers shall enter into such reasonable arrangements (including subleasing or subcontracting if permitted) to provide to the Parties the economic and operational equivalent of obtaining such Deferred Consent and assigning or transferring such Deferred Item, including enforcement for the benefit of the Buyer of all claims or rights arising thereunder, and the performance by the Buyer of the obligations thereunder on a prompt and punctual basis.

1.6 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when requested by any Party hereto and at such Party’s expense, each other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are reasonably necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

-21-

(a) 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. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party. Such notification shall include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) of the facts constituting the basis for such third-party claim and the amount of the Damages claimed. Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party 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, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party 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 “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party 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 consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that in the event the Indemnified Party agrees to any such settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, the Indemnified Party shall waive its right to indemnity (but such waiver shall not occur if the Indemnifying Party had unreasonably withheld its consent to such settlement). The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(b) Procedure for Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice. Within 10 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the liquidated portion, if any, of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer, unless the Indemnifying Party is any of the Sellers and any portion of the Holdback is then remaining, in which case such response shall be accompanied by the payment of any amount by which the Claimed Amount exceeds the portion of the Holdback then remaining), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the liquidated portion, any of, if any, of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer, unless the Indemnifying Party is the Sellers and any portion of the Holdback is then remaining, in which case such response shall be accompanied by the payment of any amount by which the Agreed

-22-

Amount exceeds the portion of the Holdback then remaining), or (iii) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Sections 11.12 and 11.13.

The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VI shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by an Indemnified Party, whether before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification hereunder or (ii) any waiver by an Indemnified Party of any closing condition relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties or the performance of or compliance with agreements and covenants.

(b) If an indemnification claim is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 6.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the representation, warranty or covenant that is the basis for such claim or of the right for such indemnification, then such representation, warranty or covenant or right for indemnification shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim.

-40-

closest Business Day prior to) the day on which the Party required to make such payment, transfer, indemnification, reimbursement or calculation first becomes obligated to do so hereunder (or, in the case of Article VI, would have first become obligated to do so but for the operation of Section 6.5(a)); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.15 shall be deemed to require any Party to make any foreign currency conversion or other similar calculation that violates or conflicts with, or otherwise causes a Party to violate, applicable law or GAAP.

11.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party hereby irrevocably waives all rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the actions of any Party in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement.
