5.6 Litigation Support.  In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any third party Action or Proceeding in connection with (a) the Transactions, or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Sellers or the Company, the Purchaser agrees to (i) cooperate with the contesting or defending party and its counsel, (ii) make available the Business Employees then employed by the Purchaser to provide testimony, to be deposed, to act as witnesses and to assist counsel, and (iii) provide access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the defense or contest, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending party.

5.7 Regulatory and Other Approvals; Consents.

(a) HSR Act.  The Company and the Purchaser will as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notification and report form, if any, required for the Transactions and any supplemental information requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act.  Any such notification and report form and supplemental information will be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act.  The Company and the Purchaser shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission which is necessary under the HSR Act.  Each of the Company and Purchaser will use such Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any clearance required under the HSR Act for the Transactions and to request early termination and a waiver from the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and any similar foreign laws and regulations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Purchaser shall not be required to (A) consent to the divestiture, license or other disposition or

holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any of its or its Affiliates’ assets or any assets of the Company or (B) consent to any other structural or conduct remedy or enter into any settlement or agree to any Order regarding antitrust matters respecting the Transactions and (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to contest, administratively or in court, any ruling, order or other action of any Governmental Entity or any other Person respecting the Transactions.  The Company and the Purchaser shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC and the DOJ and shall comply promptly with any such inquiry or request.  In addition to the foregoing, the Company and the Purchaser shall substantially comply with any additional requests for information, including requests for production of documents and production of witnesses for interviews or depositions, by any antitrust authority.  If necessary, the Company and the Purchaser shall file with any applicable foreign Government Entity any required notifications under applicable foreign antitrust or competition Law.

5.8 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not terminate Business Employees in such numbers as would trigger any Liabilities under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101, et seq. (“WARN”) or any state or local plant closing or severance Law.  The Purchaser shall comply with any notice or filing requirements under WARN and any state or local plant closing or severance Law.  The Purchaser is responsible for providing notice under WARN and any state or local plant closing or severance law of any plant closing or mass layoff which takes place or is triggered on or after the Closing Date.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause F&H LLC to, honor (without modification) each written Contract between the Company and/or F&H LLC and any Business Employee that (i) existed as of the date hereof, and (ii) is set forth in Section 4.14 or Section 4.18(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) Subject to any greater compensation and benefits provided in an employment agreement with any Business Employee, during the twelve (12)-month period commencing at the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause F&H LLC to provide, to any Business Employee (as long as such Business Employee continues to be employed by F&H LLC during such period) compensation and benefits, including the Employee Plans and Employee Benefit Arrangements, that are in the aggregate, substantially comparable to

and no less favorable than the compensation and benefits being provided to Business Employees as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Purchaser from replacing any such existing Employee Plan or Employee Benefit Arrangement with a plan, policy, program or arrangement which provide such Business Employees with benefits that are in the aggregate substantially comparable to and no less favorable than the benefits that would have been provided under such existing Employee Plan or Employee Benefit Arrangement.

(d) The Purchaser shall cause F&H LLC to provide severance compensation to employees involuntarily terminated during the twelve (12)-month period commencing at the Closing Date in accordance with a severance policy reasonably acceptable to the Sellers, the principal terms of which are set forth on Exhibit 5.8 attached hereto.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.8(b), with respect to any employee benefit plan, policy, program or arrangement as may be maintained for Business Employees from time to time following the Closing Date by Purchaser and/or F&H LLC (including plans, policies, programs or arrangements providing severance benefits and vacation entitlement), service by such Business Employees performed for F&H LLC and/or the Company prior to Closing shall be treated as service with the Purchaser or F&H LLC, as the case may be, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting.  Such service also shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any preexisting condition limitations.  The Purchaser shall also honor, or cause F&H LLC to honor, all vacation, personal and sick days accrued by the Business Employees under the Employee Plans and Employee Benefit Arrangements immediately prior to the Closing Date, to the extent reserved against the Financial Statements.

(f) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.8(b), the Purchaser shall cause F&H LLC to honor, in accordance with their terms, and shall, or shall cause F&H LLC to, make required payments when due under, all Employee Plans and Employee Benefit Arrangements maintained or contributed to by F&H LLC or to which F&H LLC is a party (including employment, incentive and severance agreements and arrangements), that are applicable with respect to any Business Employee or any director of the Company or manager of F&H LLC (whether current, former or retired) or their beneficiaries; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude the Purchaser or F&H LLC from amending or terminating any Employee Plan or Employee Benefit Arrangement in accordance with its terms.

5.9 Record Retention.  The Parties agree that for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, or for a longer period if required by Law, without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall dispose of or destroy any of the books and records purchased hereunder which may be relevant to any legal, regulatory or Tax audit, investigation, inquiry or requirement of any of the Sellers without first offering such records to the Sellers.

5.10 Rights to Indemnification.  F&H LLC’s certificate of formation and operating agreement (at the time of the F&H LLC Merger) shall contain the same provisions relating to indemnification and exculpation of managers and officers of F&H LLC (and, with respect to the period prior to the F&H LLC Merger, directors and officers of the Company) as currently

contained in the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company (with respect to officers and directors of the Company) for acts and omissions on or prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall not amend, alter, modify, or terminate any provisions in F&H LLC’s certificate of formation or operating agreement or other equivalent governing documents in a manner which would remove, limit or impair such provisions providing for such indemnification and exculpation.  The Purchaser shall cause F&H LLC to maintain insurance coverage under a director and officers liability insurance policy for a period of not less than six (6) years from the date hereof (in amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof and sufficient in scope to insure against F&H LLC’s obligations in its certificate of formation and operating agreement, including coverage for the period up to and including Closing Date).  In lieu of the foregoing, the Purchaser may purchase six-year “tail” coverage covering acts or omissions prior to the Closing on terms no less favorable than those contained in the existing policy.  This Section 5.10 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the directors and officers of the Company (and the managers and officers of F&H LLC) existing on or at anytime prior to the Closing (and their respective heirs and personal representatives), and shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of the Purchaser, F&H LLC and the Company.  The directors and officers of the Company (and the managers and officers of F&H LLC) as of immediately prior to Closing shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 5.10.  In the event that F&H LLC (or any of its successors or assigns) shall consolidate or merge with any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or transfers all or substantially all of its properties and Assets to any other Person, then in each case proper provision shall be made so that the continuing or surviving corporation or entity (or its successors or assigns, if applicable), or transferee of such Assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.10 subject to applicable Law.

5.11 Acknowledgement of Personal Property.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the personal property set forth in Schedule 5.11 is personal property owned by the Sellers and that Sellers shall be entitled to remove such personal property from the premises of the Company.

5.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation of Tax Returns.

(i) Tax Periods Ending On or Before the Closing Date.

(A) Non-Income Tax Returns.  Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and F&H LLC for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”) which are filed after the Closing Date, other than income Tax Returns and the PA Capital Stock Tax Return for such periods.  Such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistently with the past practice of the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.  Purchaser shall permit the Sellers’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall accept all comments that are reasonable.  Purchaser shall cause the Company to pay such Taxes in accordance with the Company’s normal past practices.  Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for such Taxes to the extent not incurred in the ordinary course

of business or incurred in a manner inconsistent with the Company’s normal past practices within fifteen (15) days of demand by Purchaser or the Company.

(B) Income Tax Returns.  Sellers’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared all income Tax Returns (including the PA Capital Stock Tax Return) for the Company and F&H LLC for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods.  Such income Tax Returns shall be prepared consistently with past practice of the Company.  Sellers’ Representative shall permit Purchaser to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall accept all comments that are reasonable.  The Purchaser, the Company or F&H LLC shall file such Tax Returns at the direction of the Sellers’ Representative on or before the applicable due date (taken into account extension periods).  With respect to all income Tax Returns of the Company or F&H LLC that reflect a Company Tax liability (as compared to a Seller Tax Liability), Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for such Taxes of the Company or F&H LLC within fifteen (15) days of payment by Purchaser, the Company or F&H LLC of such Taxes; provided, however, that Sellers shall be permitted to utilize any Tax credits generated by the Company during Pre-Closing Tax Period (including Tax credits that are generated by the Company’s participation in the Pennsylvania EITC Program) to offset their portion of the Company’s Tax Liability.

(ii) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company or F&H LLC for Tax periods which begin on or before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Tax Period)”.  Such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistently with the past practice of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law.  Purchaser shall permit the Sellers’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall accept all comments that are reasonable.  Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser solely from the Escrow Funds within five (5) days of the date on which income Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such income Taxes which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date.

(iii) Allocation. For purposes of this Section 5.12, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Tax Period, the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than the Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Tax Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Tax Period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the Straddle Tax Period ended on the Closing Date.  For purposes of this Section 5.12, in the case of any Tax credit relating to a Straddle Tax Period, the portion of such Tax credit which relates to the portion of such Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date shall be the amount which bears the same relationship to the total amount of such Tax credit as the amount of Taxes described in (y) above bears to the total amount of Taxes for such Straddle Tax Period.

(b) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) Purchaser and each Seller shall (and Purchaser shall cause the Company and F&H LLC to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  Each Seller and Purchaser agree to (A) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company or F&H LLC relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) give all parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any other party so requests, shall allow such other party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) Purchaser and each Seller further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed.

(c) Amended Tax Returns.

(i) Any amended Tax Return of the Company or F&H LLC or claim for Tax refund on behalf of the Company or F&H LLC or any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be filed, or caused to be filed, only by the Sellers’ Representative.  The Sellers’ Representative shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), make or cause to be made, any such filing, to the extent such filing, if accepted, reasonably might change the Tax Liability of the Purchaser for any period ending after the Closing Date.

(ii) Any amended Tax Return of the Company or F&H LLC or claim for Tax refund on behalf of the Company or F&H LLC for any period ending after the Closing Date shall be filed, or caused to be filed, only by the Purchaser.  The Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), make or cause to be made, any such filing, to the extent such filing, if accepted, reasonably might change the Tax Liability of the Sellers for (i) any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) any portion of a Straddle Tax Period.

(d) Audits.

(i) Purchaser shall provide Sellers’ Representative with notice of any written inquiries, audits, examinations or proposed adjustments by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS) or any other taxing authority, which relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice.  Sellers’ Representative shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the Company or F&H LLC in any Tax audit or other proceeding relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods, to employ counsel of his choice at his own expense, and to settle any issues and to take any other actions in connection with such proceedings relating to such taxable

periods; provided, however, that Sellers’ Representative shall inform Purchaser of the status of any such proceedings, shall provide Purchaser (at Purchaser’s cost and expense) with copies of any pleadings, correspondence, and other documents as Purchaser may reasonably request and shall consult with Purchaser prior to the settlement of any such proceedings and shall obtain the prior written consent of Purchaser prior to the settlement of any such proceedings that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Purchaser in any taxable period ending after the Closing Date, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided further, however, that Purchaser and counsel of its own choosing shall have the right to participate in, but not direct, the prosecution or defense of such proceedings at Purchaser’s sole expense.

(ii) Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall provide each other with notice of any written inquiries, audits, examinations or proposed adjustments by the IRS or any other taxing authority that relate to any Straddle Tax Period within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice.  Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall jointly control the conduct of any Tax audits or other proceedings relating to Taxes for a Straddle Tax Period, and neither party shall settle any such Tax audit or other proceeding without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) Purchaser shall have the right to control all other Tax audits or proceedings of the Company or F&H LLC.  Purchaser shall obtain the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative prior to the settlement of any such proceedings that could reasonably be expected to increase the Sellers’ Tax liability for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iv) Purchaser, the Company and F&H LLC shall execute and deliver to Sellers’ Representative such powers of attorney and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the foregoing.

(e) Certain Taxes.   All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Purchaser when due, and the Purchaser,  the Company or F&H LLC will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, the Sellers will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation, provided that Sellers are held harmless from any liability solely by reason of such joinder.

(f) Tax Covenants.

(i) Purchaser covenants that without obtaining the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and except as required by law, it will not, and will not cause or permit F&H LLC or any affiliate of Purchaser, to (i) take any action on the Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business that could give rise to any Tax liability of Sellers or any indemnification obligation of Sellers under Section 6.1, or (ii) make or change any material Tax election, amend any Tax Return, take any Tax position on any Tax Return, or compromise or settle any Tax liability, in each case if such action could have the effect of increasing the Tax liability of Sellers

or reducing any Tax asset of the Company or F&H LLC with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion of a Straddle-Tax Period ending on the Closing Date.

(ii) After the Closing Date, Purchaser, the Company or F&H LLC will not, without obtaining the written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), agree to the waiver or any extension of the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes of the Company or F&H LLC for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Tax Period.

(iii) Sellers shall have the right to any Tax refunds received by the Company or F&H LLC for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion of any Straddle Tax Period that ends on the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall pay such amounts to Sellers’ Representative no later than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Company of such Tax refunds.

(g) Tax Treatment of F&H LLC Merger / Asset Allocation.

(i) Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge that the F&H LLC Merger, followed by the sale of the F&H LLC Membership Interests, will be treated as follows for Tax purposes:

(A) first, the transfer by the Company of all its assets to (and assumption of all its liabilities by) F&H LLC in exchange for the issuance of the F&H LLC Membership Interests to the Company;

(B) next, the liquidation of the Company pursuant to which the Company distributes all its assets to the Sellers (consisting solely of the F&H LLC Membership Interests) in a fully taxable transaction; and

(C) finally, on the day following the F&H LLC Merger, the purchase by Purchaser of the F&H LLC Membership Interests from the Sellers which shall be in accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1991-1 CB 432.

(ii) Purchaser, the Company, F&H LLC, and the Sellers hereby acknowledge that the agreed fair market value of the Company’s and F&H’s assets for the purposes of determining the tax consequences of the liquidation of the Company and the purchase by Purchaser of the F&H LLC Membership Interests shall be as set forth in an agreement reached by Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative (the “Purchase Price Allocation”).  The Purchase Price Allocation shall be prepared consistent with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule 5.12(g).

(iii) Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a statement reflecting the Purchase Price Allocation (the “Allocation Statement”) to the Purchaser no later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date.  The Purchaser shall notify Sellers’ Representative of any objections to the Allocation Statement within fifteen (15) days after the Purchaser receives the Allocation Statement.  If the Company does not notify Sellers’ Representative of any objections to the Allocation Statement, within that fifteen (15) day period, the Allocation Statement shall be construed as final.  If the Purchaser notifies Sellers’ Representative of an objection to the

Allocation Statement by the end of the fifteen (15) day period, and the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser are unable to resolve their differences within fifteen (15) days thereafter, then the disputed items on the Allocation Statement shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable Neutral Accounting Firm (the “Accounting Arbitrator”) for resolution, with the costs paid fifty percent (50%) by the Sellers and fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser, and the Accounting Arbitrator shall be instructed to deliver a finalized Allocation Statement as soon as possible.

(iv) Purchaser, Sellers, the Company, F&H LLC, and their respective Affiliates shall report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Allocation Statement and the tax treatment of the F&H LLC Merger (followed by the sale of the F&H LLC Membership Interests) described in this Section 5.12(g), as well as any amendments to such Tax Returns required with respect to any adjustment to the Purchase Price.  Neither Purchasers, Sellers or any of their Affiliates shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the information set forth on the Allocation Statement or that is inconsistent with this Section 5.12(g), unless required to do so by applicable Law.

(h) Tax Treatment of Executive Bonuses.  All Tax deductions relating to (i) the payments under the Executive Retention Agreements (under the 1999 Bonus Plan and 2002 Bonus Plan) to the extent relating to payments made on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) the portion of the Executive Sale Bonuses that are paid on the Closing Date, shall be for the benefit of the Sellers and shall be reported on the Tax Return of the Company and/or F&H LLC for the applicable tax period ending on or immediately prior to the Closing Date.  All Tax deductions relating to the portion of the Executive Sales Bonuses that are paid after the Closing Date shall be for the benefit of the Purchasers.

5.13 Further Assurances.  From and after the Closing, the Purchaser and each of the Sellers shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action as reasonably may be necessary to further effectuate the Transactions.  The Purchaser shall permit the Sellers and their authorized representatives, at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice under reasonable circumstances, to enter upon and make such reasonable investigation of the assets, properties, business and operations of the Purchaser and the Company and such examination of the books and records, financial condition and operations of the Purchaser and the Company as the Sellers may reasonably request; provided that such investigation or examination relates to transactions or events occurring prior to the Closing or transaction or events occurring subsequent to the Closing which arise out of or are related to transactions or events occurring prior to the Closing; provided further, that such investigation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business operations of the Purchaser or the Company.

5.14 Survival.  The agreements and covenants contained in this Article V shall survive the Closing Date and be enforceable thereafter, subject to any time limitations contained in this Agreement.

5.15 Exclusivity.  The Sellers and the Company shall not, nor shall they permit any officer, director, employee, investment banker, attorney or other adviser or representative of the Sellers, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, to, submit, solicit, initiate, or discuss any Acquisition Proposal (as defined below), enter into any Contract or accept any offer relating

to any Acquisition Proposal, consummate any reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or initial public offering.  “Acquisition Proposal” means, other than this Agreement and the Transactions, any proposal or offer relating to the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of all or any substantial portion of the capital stock or assets of the Company (including any acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation or share exchange).  The obligations of the Parties under this Section 5.15 shall automatically terminate upon the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX hereof.

5.16 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Each Seller, by virtue of its execution of this Agreement, hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Sellers’ Representative, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for him, her or it and in his, her or its name, place, and stead to sign, execute, deliver and perform any Transaction Documents required to be executed by such Seller (or any Transaction Documents by which Seller is otherwise bound), to make and authorize amendments to, or waivers of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, to enforce the obligations of the Purchaser and the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, to give and receive all notices required or permitted by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and to defend and/or settle any indemnification claims made by the Purchaser or the Company or any other Indemnified Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (to the extent such claims are to be satisfied out of the Escrow Funds), hereby ratifying and confirming that the Sellers’ Representative may do or cause to be done by virtue hereof and to make all determinations and elections hereunder and thereunder.  This power of attorney is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, and shall survive the Closing and death, disability, legal incapacity, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, or cessation of existence of any Seller.  This power of attorney may be exercised by the Sellers’ Representative by listing the Seller executing any Transaction Document with the single signature of the Sellers’ Representative acting as attorney-in-fact for such Seller.  Each Seller hereby forever releases and discharges the Sellers’ Representative from any and all liability which may arise in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s performance in good faith and any acts or omissions which such Sellers’ Representative takes on behalf of the Sellers and their shareholders in accordance with the terms of this limited power of attorney, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative.

(b) Each Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse the Sellers’ Representative from and against such Seller’s ratable share of any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Sellers’ Representative arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, other than such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising out of or resulting from the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and in the event there are any remaining funds in the Escrow Account to be distributed to the Sellers at the termination of the Escrow Account, such funds shall first satisfy any such loss, liability, or expense incurred by the Sellers’ Representative and thereafter the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to recover any such losses, liabilities or expenses from the Escrow Account prior to the distribution of funds to the Sellers.

(c) Each Party shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any communication given or other action taken by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Company’s pre-Closing officers, directors, employees and agents, against, and hold them harmless from, any Loss suffered or incurred by any such Indemnified Person, arising or resulting from or based upon (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document which survives the Closing, (b) the breach of any covenant of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or (c) any post-Closing operations of the Company and its Affiliates; provided, however, that (i) there shall be no indemnification Liability under clause (a) above or, to the extent relating to a breach of any covenant to be performed prior to the Closing, clause (b) above, unless the aggregate of all Losses arising thereunder for which the indemnification Liability would, but for this proviso, exist exceeds one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price and only to the extent of any such excess and (ii) there shall be no indemnification Liability under clauses (a) and (b) above for any breach if the Company or the Sellers had Knowledge of such breach at the time of the Closing, and; provided further, however, that the limitation set forth in clause (i) above shall not apply to any Loss arising from a breach of Section 2.3 (Broker Fees), Section 5.8 (Employee Matters), or Section 5.10 (Rights to Indemnification).

6.3 Losses Net of Insurance, Etc.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VI, which terms and conditions shall not be applicable to any Loss arising from a breach of Sections 5.8 or 5.10, following the Closing:

(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall be net of any amounts (i) actually recovered or (ii) which are covered by, and recoverable, on a commercially reasonable basis, by the Indemnified Person, in each of (i) and (ii) under insurance policies in effect and applicable to such Loss.

(b) Any payment or indemnity required to be made pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 shall be adjusted to take into account any reduction in Taxes actually realized by the Indemnified Person (which term shall, for purposes of this paragraph, include the ultimate payer(s) of Taxes in the case of an Indemnified Person that is a branch or a disregarded entity or other pass-through entity for any Tax purpose) as a result of the Loss giving rise to the payment or indemnity.  In determining the amount necessary to be added to any payment or indemnity in order to accomplish the foregoing, the parties hereto agree (i) to treat all Taxes required to be paid by, and all reductions in Tax realized by any Indemnified Person, as if such Indemnified Person were subject to Tax at the highest marginal Tax rates (for both federal and state, as determined on a combined basis) applicable to such Indemnified Person and (ii) to treat any indemnification payments made to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the final Purchase Price, unless a “Final Determination” with respect to the indemnified party or any of its affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.  For purposes of this agreement “Final Determination” means (i) with respect to federal income Taxes, a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or execution of an Internal IRS Form 870-AD and, (ii) with respect to Taxes other than federal income Taxes, any final determination of liability in respect of a Tax that, under applicable law, is not subject to further appeal, review or modification through proceedings or otherwise (including the expiration of a statute of limitations or a period for the filing of claims for refunds, amended returns or appeals from adverse determinations).

(c) In connection with an Indemnified Person’s rights under this Article VI, an Indemnified Person may seek only seek actual damages and may not seek any other damages, including but not limited to punitive, consequential (including loss of anticipated profits) and incidental damages, as to any matter under, relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 6.1, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article VI with respect to any Loss that is reflected as a Liability on the Latest Balance Sheet or reflected in the footnotes to the Financial Statements.

(e) No Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article VI with respect to any Loss that is attributable to any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person or any of its Affiliates.  The Indemnified Person shall cooperate with each Indemnifying Person with respect to resolving any Liabilities with respect to which such Person is obligated to indemnify the other Person, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such Liabilities.  In the event that the Indemnified Person shall fail to cooperate and make such efforts to mitigate or resolve any such Liabilities, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, each Indemnifying Person shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any Loss that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Indemnified Person had made such efforts.

(f) The indemnification provisions contained in this Article VI (including the provisions of Section 6.1) are intended to provide the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Losses either party may incur arising from or relating to the Transaction Documents (or the representations, warranties or covenants contained therein) or the Transactions, and each Party hereby waives, to the full extent they may do so, any other rights or remedies that may arise under any applicable statute, rule or regulation (other than with respect to claims for fraud).  Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.3(f), the sole source to satisfy any and all indemnification claims of the Purchaser pursuant to Article VI shall be the Escrow Funds, except for those claims arising from a breach of Sections 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.3, 4.1, 4.2(a), 4.3 (other than 4.3(c)), 4.8 or 4.20 and except for claims under Section 6.1(b)(iii).  With respect to claims arising from a breach of Sections 4.1, 4.2(a), 4.3 (other than 4.3(c)), 4.8 or 4.20, no claim may be made directly against any Seller unless and until the Escrow Funds are exhausted.  For any claims arising under Section 6.1(a), Purchaser shall have the right to (and shall only have the right to) make a claim against the Seller directly (and not the Escrow Funds or any other Seller).  If any claims involving a breach of covenants are made after distribution of the Escrow Funds (in accordance with and subject to Section 6.6 of this Agreement), the Purchaser shall have the right to make a claim against the Sellers directly for such matters, but in no event shall the Sellers, in the aggregate, be liable for any or all of such claims for more than the amount of Escrow Funds so distributed to the Sellers.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Seller in any event shall be liable, in the aggregate, for more than such Seller’s pro rata portion of the Purchase Price received by such Seller.

(g) The indemnities herein are intended solely for the benefit of the Persons expressly identified in Section 5.8 and 5.10 and this Article VI (and their permitted successors and assigns) and are in no way intended to, nor shall they, constitute an agreement for the benefit of, or be enforceable by, any other Person.

6.4 Termination of Indemnification.  The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Person pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall terminate when the applicable representation, warranty or covenant terminates pursuant to Section 6.6; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any specific matter as to which the person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice thereof (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Person.

6.5 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.  In order for an Indemnified Person to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must provide the Indemnifying Person with a Claim Notice regarding the Third-Party Claim promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Person of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any expense incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Person failed to give such notice).  Thereafter, the Indemnified Person shall deliver to the Indemnifying Person, within five (5) Business Days after the Indemnified Person’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Person relating to the Third-Party Claim.

If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Person.  If the Third-Party Claim includes allegations for which the Indemnifying Person both would and would not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall in that case jointly assume the defense thereof.  Should the Indemnifying Person so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to the Indemnified Person for legal fees and expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof.  If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense thereof and, at its own expense, to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person, it being understood that the Indemnifying Person shall control such defense.  The Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Person for any period during which the Indemnifying Person has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Person shall have failed to give notice of the Third-Party Claim as provided above).  If the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Person’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Person of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making officers, directors, employees and agents of the Indemnified Person available on a mutually convenient basis to provide information, testimony at depositions, hearings or trials, and such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Person.  Whether or not the Indemnifying Person shall have assumed the defense

of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Person’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  The Indemnifying Person shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Person’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless any such admission, settlement, compromise or discharge also releases the Indemnified Person completely in connection with such Third-Party Claim.

6.6 Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.  All representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect as follows: (a) for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, with respect to all representations and warranties and any covenant or agreement to be performed prior to the Closing (other than with respect to Sections 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.3, 4.1, 4.2(a), 4.3 (other than 4.3(c)), 4.8 and 4.20 which shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date that is thirty (30) days after the applicable statute of limitations), or (b) with respect to each other covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, until the last date on which such covenant or agreement is to be performed or, if no such date is specified, for a period of three (3) years, except that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that would otherwise terminate in accordance with clause (a) or (b) will continue to survive if a written notice of a breach thereof shall have been timely given to the breaching party by the other party on or prior to such termination date, until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in this Article VI.

TERMINATION

9.1 Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated:

(a) at any time prior to the Closing by mutual written agreement of the Purchaser, the Company and Sellers’ Representative;

(b) by either the Purchaser or the Company and Sellers’ Representative if a breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed (in the case of termination by Purchaser, a breach by the Company, Sellers’ Representative or Sellers, and in the case of termination by the Company and the Sellers’ Representative, a breach by Purchaser) and such breach results in a closing condition becoming incapable of being satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date and such breach has not been waived in writing; provided, however that a breach described above shall not give rise to a right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) unless and until (i) the non-breaching party delivers a written notice to the breaching party, notifying the breaching party of the breach (including a reasonable description thereof) and (ii) the breaching party fails to cure such breach within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such written notice (provided, further, however, that the Party seeking termination pursuant to

this clause (b) is not then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement);

(c) (i) by Purchaser, if any of the conditions in Section 7.1 has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes incapable of fulfillment (other than through the failure of the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and Purchaser has not waived in writing such condition on or before the Closing Date; or (ii) by the Company and Sellers’ Representative, if any of the conditions in Section 7.2 has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes incapable of fulfillment (other than through the failure of the Company to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and the Sellers have not waived in writing such condition on or before the Closing Date;

(d) by either the Purchaser or the Company and Sellers’ Representative if (i) the Transactions shall violate any Order that shall have become final and nonappealable or (ii) there shall be a Law which makes the Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited;

(e) by the Purchaser or the Company and Sellers’ Representative at any time after 120 days following the date hereof, if the Closing shall not have occurred; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (e) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such date;

provided further, however, that such notice of termination is provided in writing.

9.2 Effect of Termination.  Each Party’s right of termination under Section 9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of such right of termination will not be an election of remedies.  In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations of the parties in this Section 9.1 and Sections 2.3 and 4.20 (Broker Fees), Section 5.5 (Publicity and Confidentiality) and Article X will survive; provided, however, that, if this Agreement is terminated because of a breach of this Agreement by the non-terminating party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the non-terminating party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, then the terminating party’s right (including F&H LLC’s right, as applicable) to pursue all legal remedies hereunder and otherwise in connection with such breach will survive such termination unimpaired; provided further, however, that the Purchaser’s right to pursue all such legal remedies hereunder shall be limited to the Company, and the Purchaser shall have no right to pursue remedies under this Article IX against the Sellers individually.  In the event of termination of the Agreement, and regardless of the reason for the termination, the Confidentiality Agreement and any agreement executed by the Purchaser in connection with the receipt of the Confidential Offering Memorandum of the Company shall continue in full force and effect.

9.3 Specific Performance.  The Sellers, the Company, F&H LLC, and Purchaser shall each have the right to specific performance of the obligations of the other under this Agreement.  The Sellers, the Company, F&H LLC, and Purchaser each acknowledge that irreparable damage

would result if this Agreement is not specifically enforced.  The Sellers, the Company, F&H LLC, and Purchaser each hereby agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by the other of the provisions of this Agreement and each hereby agrees to waive the defense that a remedy at law may be adequate in any Action or Proceeding for specific performance hereunder.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Expenses.  Whether or not the Transactions are consummated, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party to this Agreement will bear its respective fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement or the Transactions (including legal, accounting and other professional fees).  Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser will pay and be solely responsible for the filing fees of all parties required to be paid under the HSR Act and any foreign antitrust or competition law or regulation in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each of the Company and the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any claim or demand for commissions or other compensation by any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent employed by the other Party.

10.2 Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such Commonwealth, without regard to the conflicts of Law principles that would require the application of any other law.

10.3 Jurisdiction; Service of Process.  Any Action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby may be brought in the federal and state courts located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such Action or Proceeding, waives any objection he or she may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action or Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby in any other court.  The Parties agree that any or all of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained-for agreement among the Parties irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to convenience of forum.  Process in any Action or Proceeding referred to in the first sentence of this Section 10.3 may be served on any Party anywhere in the world.

10.4 Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES TO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND THAT ANY

ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

10.5 Attorneys’ Fees.  If any Action or Proceeding for the enforcement of this Agreement is brought with respect to or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions hereof, the successful or prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that Action or Proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

10.6 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.  Neither any failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Parties; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

10.7 Notices.  All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given to a Party when (a) delivered by hand or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid), (b) sent by facsimile or e-mail with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting equipment, or (c) received or rejected by the addressee, if sent by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, in each case to the following:
