(c) Deferral of Payments if Indemnification Claims Outstanding; Method of Payment. If, at any time that Purchaser is obligated to make any payment or delivery of Purchase Price hereunder, there are one or more outstanding claims for indemnification under Article IX, then Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold that portion first, of the Holdback Cash and the Holdback Shares, pro rata, and second, the Earn-Out Amount for the First Earn-Out Period and any subsequent Earn-Out Period, as necessary, equal to the amount of the asserted claim(s). Any Parent Shares so withheld shall be valued at the Closing Parent Share Price for such payment.

3.3 Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that the aggregate amount of the Purchase Price has been established in part with reference to the net working capital of Sellers (calculated with reference only to Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities) in the amount of $1,967,000 (the “Base NWC”). At the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) detailing the calculation of the estimated net working capital of Sellers as of July 31, 2006 (the “Estimated NWC”) which estimate shall be prepared by Sellers in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the Seller Financial Statements (calculated with reference only to Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities). As promptly as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a statement of the net working capital of Sellers as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Statement”), which shall be prepared by Purchaser in accordance with GAAP (calculated with

reference only to Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities). The Closing Date Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, unless Sellers object in writing to any item or items shown on the Closing Date Statement within twenty (20) days after delivery to Sellers of the Closing Date Statement (the “Objection Period”). During the Objection Period, Sellers shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all work papers of Purchaser’s accountant that were used in the preparation of the Closing Date Statement. If Purchaser and Sellers shall be unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Closing Date Statement within twenty (20) days after delivery of Sellers’ written objections, the matter or matters in dispute shall be submitted (at the equal expense of Purchaser and Sellers) to such firm of independent certified public accountants as Purchaser and Sellers may mutually agree. The decision of such firm of independent certified public accountants shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Sellers. The net working capital of Sellers as of the Closing Date conclusively determined as aforesaid is sometimes referred to herein as the “Closing NWC”.

(b) Promptly following the conclusive determination of Closing NWC, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) In the event that the Estimated NWC exceeds the Closing NWC, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward in an amount equal to such excess, and Sellers shall promptly pay to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser, an amount equal to such excess; and

(ii) In the event that Closing NWC exceeds the Estimated NWC, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward in an amount equal to such excess and the Purchaser shall promptly pay to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Sellers, an amount equal to such excess.

3.4 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx at 10:00 a.m. Boston, Massachusetts time, on the later of (i) August 17, 2006 and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the later to occur of (A) the expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any applicable Foreign Competition Laws, and (B) the satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions to the obligations of the parties set forth in Article VIII, or at such other place or time or on such other date as Sellers and Purchaser may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”).

3.5 Purchase Price Allocation. Purchaser shall prepare an allocation of the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities and all other capitalized costs among the Purchased Assets and the Non-Competition Agreements in accordance with Code §1060 and the Treasury regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate). Purchaser shall deliver such allocation to Sellers within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. Such allocation shall be binding upon Seller and Purchaser subject to Sellers’ consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Owners and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall

report and file Tax Returns (including, but not limited to Internal Revenue Service Form 8594), and shall act, in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation. Sellers and the Owners shall timely and properly prepare, execute, file and deliver all such documents, forms and other information as Purchaser may reasonably request to give effect to such allocation. Neither Sellers, the Owners nor Purchaser shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) which is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law.

3.6 Transfer Taxes. Sellers shall be liable for and shall pay all federal and state sales Taxes (including any retail sales Taxes and land transfer Taxes) and all other Taxes, duties, fees or other like charges of any jurisdiction properly payable in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets by Sellers to Purchaser.

(v) by Sellers, if Sellers are not in material breach of their obligations under this Agreement, and if (A) at any time the representations and warranties of Parent or Purchaser herein become untrue or inaccurate such that Section 8.2(a) would not be satisfied (treating such time as if it were the Closing for purposes of

this Section 8.3(a)(v)), or (B) there has been a breach on the part of Parent or Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that Section 8.2(a) would not be satisfied (treating such time as if it were the Closing for purposes of this Section 8.3(a)(v)), and, in both case (A) and case (B), such breach (if curable) has not been cured within 15 days after written notice to Parent or Purchaser;

For convenience of reference, the date upon which any representation and warranty contained herein shall terminate is referred to herein as the “Survival Date.” No third party other than the Indemnified Persons shall be a third party or other beneficiary of such representations and warranties and no such third party shall have any rights of contribution with respect to such representations or warranties or any matter subject to or resulting in indemnification under this Article IX or otherwise. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (and in the corresponding covenants and agreements set forth in any of the Documents) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force until fully performed in accordance with their terms.

9.2 Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

9.3 Indemnification Generally; Limitations.

(a) Indemnification of Purchaser Indemnified Persons. Seller Indemnifying Persons shall jointly and severally indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Persons from and against any and all Losses arising from or in connection with any Purchaser Event of Indemnification with respect to Purchaser Indemnified Persons, which shall be paid promptly by Seller Indemnifying Persons; provided, however, that except with respect to Exceptional Claims, Seller Indemnifying Persons will have no liability hereunder for indemnification with respect to Losses arising under clause (i) of the definition of Purchaser Event of Indemnification (i) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $50,000.00 and then only for the amount by which the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $50,000.00 or (ii) in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,500,000. The provisions of this Section 9.3(a) shall be the sole remedy of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for a Purchaser Event of Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9.3 shall in any way limit, impair, modify or otherwise affect the rights of Purchaser Indemnified Persons, nor shall there be any limitation of liability of Seller Indemnifying Persons in connection with any of such rights of Purchaser Indemnified Persons (A) to bring any claim, demand, suit or cause of action otherwise available to Purchaser Indemnified Persons based upon an allegation or allegations that Seller Indemnifying Persons, or any of them, had an intent to defraud or made a willful, intentional or reckless material misrepresentation or willful omission of a material fact in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) to enforce any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction which finds or determines (by final, non-appealable order) that Seller Indemnifying Persons, or any of them, had an intent to defraud or made a willful material misrepresentation or omission of a material fact in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Indemnification of Seller Indemnified Persons. Purchaser Indemnifying Persons shall jointly and severally indemnify Seller Indemnified Persons from and against any

and all Losses arising from or in connection with any Seller Event of Indemnification with respect to Seller Indemnified Persons, which shall be paid promptly by Purchaser Indemnifying Persons; provided, however, that except with respect to Exceptional Claims, Purchaser Indemnifying Persons will have no liability hereunder for indemnification with respect to Losses arising under clause (i) of the definition of Seller Event of Indemnification (i) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $50,000.00 and then only for the amount by which the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $50,000.00 or (ii) in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,500,000. The provisions of this Section 9.3(b) shall be the sole remedy of the Seller Indemnified Persons for a Seller Event of Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9.3 shall in any way limit, impair, modify or otherwise affect the rights of Seller Indemnified Persons, nor shall there be any limitation of liability of Purchaser Indemnifying Persons in connection with any of such rights of Seller Indemnified Persons (A) to bring any claim, demand, suit or cause of action otherwise available to Seller Indemnified Persons based upon an allegation or allegations that Purchaser Indemnifying Persons, or any of them, had an intent to defraud or made a willful, intentional or reckless material misrepresentation or willful omission of a material fact in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) to enforce any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction which finds or determines (by final, non-appealable order) that Purchaser Indemnifying Persons, or any of them, had an intent to defraud or made a willful material misrepresentation or omission of a material fact in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) For purposes of this Article IX, in determining whether or not a representation or warranty has been breach and the amount of Losses resulting therefrom, any qualification in such representation or warranty as to “materially” or “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be disregarded.

9.4 Assertion of Claims. No claim shall be brought under Section 9.3 hereof unless the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Persons”), at any time prior to the applicable Survival Date, gives the party or parties from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Persons”) (a) written notice of the existence of any such claim, specifying the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, or (b) written notice pursuant to Section 9.5 of any Third Party Claim, the existence of which might give rise to such a claim; but the failure so to provide such notice to the Indemnifying Persons will not relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any liability which they may have to the Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or otherwise (unless and only to the extent that such failure results in the loss or compromise of any rights or defenses of the Indemnifying Persons and the Indemnifying Persons did not have Knowledge of such action or claim). Upon the giving of such written notice as aforesaid, the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, shall have the right to commence legal proceedings prior or subsequent to (subject to applicable statutes of limitations) the Survival Date for the enforcement of their rights under Section 9.3 hereof.

9.5 Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims. Losses resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (each, a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Indemnified Persons shall promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Persons of any Third Party Claim that might give rise to any Loss by the Indemnified Persons, stating the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, and the amount thereof to the extent known. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to provide notice as aforesaid to the Indemnifying Persons will not relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any liability which they may have to the Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or otherwise (unless and only to the extent that such failure directly results in the loss or compromise of any rights or defenses of the Indemnifying Persons and the Indemnifying Persons did not have Knowledge of such action or claim).

(b) The Indemnifying Persons shall have the right to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Persons may not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim if the claim (i) is reasonably likely to result in imprisonment of the Indemnified Persons, (ii) is reasonably likely to result in a criminal penalty or fine against the Indemnified Persons, the consequences of which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnified Persons unrelated to the size of such penalty or fine, or (iii) is reasonably likely to result in an equitable remedy which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnified Persons. If Indemnifying Persons assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Persons shall conduct such defense diligently, shall have full and complete control over the conduct of such proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Persons and shall, in their sole discretion, have the right to decide all matters of procedure, strategy, substance and settlement relating to such proceeding, provided, however, that (A) any counsel chosen by such Indemnifying Persons to conduct such defense shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons and (B) the Indemnifying Persons will not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Persons, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter which does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or the claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Persons from all liability with respect thereto. The Indemnified Persons may participate in such proceeding and retain separate co-counsel at their sole cost and expense, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Persons shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of one separate co-counsel for the Indemnified Persons to the extent the Indemnified Persons are advised by counsel that either (1) the counsel the Indemnifying Persons have selected has a conflict of interest or (2) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Persons that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Persons. The failure of the Indemnifying Persons to notify the Indemnified Persons of their election to defend any such Third Party Claim within 30 calendar days after written notice of the Third Party Claim shall have been given to such Indemnifying Persons by the Indemnified Persons shall be deemed a waiver by such Indemnifying Persons of their right to defend such claim or action.

(c) If no Indemnifying Persons are permitted to, or elect to, assume or pursue the defense of, a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Persons shall diligently defend against such Third Party Claim in such manner as they may deem appropriate and, in such event, the Indemnifying Persons shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Persons for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnified Persons in

connection with the defense against such Third Party Claim, as such costs and expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnified Persons will not, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Persons, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any counsel chosen by such Indemnified Persons to conduct such defense must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Persons and only one counsel shall be retained to represent all Indemnified Persons in an action (except that if litigation is pending in more than one jurisdiction with respect to an action, one such counsel may be retained in each jurisdiction in which such litigation is pending).

The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar.

No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a

waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

10.7 No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as provided in Section 9.3, nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
