Adjustment of Cash Consideration.

1.6.1Estimated Cash Consideration. Not less than two nor more than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to GCI a good faith estimate of Closing Date Shareholder’s Equity (“Estimated Closing Date Shareholder’s Equity”) determined as if it were the actual Closing Date Shareholder’s Equity, but based on the Company’s review of financial information then available and inquiries of personnel responsible for the preparation of the financial information relating to the Acquired Companies in the Ordinary Course. If the Estimated Closing Date Shareholder’s Equity is less than $26,991,189 (the “Shareholder’s Equity Target”; the amount of such shortfall being referred to as the “Shareholder’s Equity Shortfall”), then the Cash Consideration shall be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the Shareholder’s Equity Shortfall. If Estimated Closing Date Shareholder’s Equity is greater than the Shareholder’s Equity Target (the amount of such excess being referred to as the “Shareholder’s Equity Excess”), then the Cash Consideration shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the Shareholder’s Equity Excess. The Cash Consideration that would result if the Estimated Closing Date Shareholder’s Equity were the actual Closing Date Shareholder’s Equity is referred to as the “Estimated Cash Consideration.”

1.6.2

Post-Closing Adjustment.

1.6.2.1 No later than 45 days following the Closing Date, GCI will prepare and deliver to the Company a statement (the “Closing Date Statement”) showing, in reasonable detail, a calculation of Shareholders’ Equity as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity”).

1.6.2.2 Within 45 days after the date GCI delivers to the Company the Closing Date Statement, if the Company disagrees in good faith with GCI’s calculation of Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity as set forth in the Closing Date Statement, then the Company may give

- 3 -

BUS_RE\1394606.17

written notice (the “Objection Notice”) to GCI within such 45-day period (i) setting forth the Company’s determination of Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the Company’s basis for disagreement with GCI’s determination of Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity. The failure by the Company to deliver an Objection Notice within such 45-day period shall constitute the acceptance of GCI’s computation of Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity. If the Company and GCI are unable to resolve any matter raised in the Objection Notice with respect to the determination of Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity within 30 days after delivery of the Objection Notice, the items in dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 10.1. The final computation of Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity, determined by reference to either GCI’s computation of Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity, agreement of the parties or binding arbitration, as the case may be, is referred to herein as the “Final Shareholders’ Equity.”

1.6.2.3 If, after the Final Shareholders’ Equity has been determined, the Cash Consideration is less than the Estimated Cash Consideration, the Sellers shall promptly pay to GCI, within five days after the Final Shareholders’ Equity has been determined, an amount equal to such difference plus interest accruing on such amount at a rate of 8% per annum from the Closing Date until such amount is paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by GCI. If the Estimated Cash Consideration is less than the Cash Consideration, GCI shall promptly pay to the Company, within five days after the Final Shareholders’ Equity has been determined, an amount equal to such difference plus interest accruing on such amount at a rate of 8% per annum from the Closing Date until such amount is paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company.

ARTICLE 2

REVENUE GROWTH PAYMENTS

2.1 Structure. In addition to the Cash Consideration payable at Closing, the Company shall be entitled to receive additional payments determined and payable as provided in this Article 2 (the “Revenue Growth Payments”) to reflect additional revenues generated from the Specified Customers. The Revenue Growth Payments shall be calculated separately for each of the following periods (collectively, the “Revenue Sharing Period”): (i) calendar year 2008 (“Period One”); (ii) calendar year 2009 (“Period Two”); (iii) calendar year 2010 (“Period Three”); (iv) calendar year 2011 (“Period Four”); and (iv) calendar year 2012 (“Period Five”). In no event shall the Sellers be required to make payments to GCI under this Article 2 if revenues decline instead of increase. Attached as Exhibit C is an illustration of the calculation of the Revenue Growth Payments payable to the Company. In the event of any conflict between the illustration and the provisions of this Article 2, the provisions of this Article 2 shall control.

2.2

Amount & Payment.

2.2.1The Revenue Growth Payment for Period One shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) ten percent (0.10) and (ii) the difference, if any, between the Gross Revenue for Period One and the Gross Revenue for calendar year 2007 (the “Baseline Gross Revenue”). The Revenue Growth Payment for Period Two shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) ten percent (0.10) and (ii) the difference, if any, between the Gross Revenue for Period Two and the

- 4 -

BUS_RE\1394606.17

Baseline Gross Revenue. The Revenue Growth Payment for Period Three shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) ten percent (0.10) and (ii) the difference, if any, between the Gross Revenue for Period Three and the Baseline Gross Revenue. The Revenue Growth Payment for Period Four shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) ten percent (0.10) and (ii) the difference, if any, between the Gross Revenue for Period Four and the Baseline Gross Revenue. The Revenue Growth Payment for Period Five shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) ten percent (0.10) and (ii) the difference, if any, between the Gross Revenue for Period Five and the Baseline Gross Revenue.

2.2.2 The Revenue Growth Payments for each of the Revenue Sharing Periods under Section 2.2.1 shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of GCI’s annual audit for each respective period, and in any event, on or prior to forty-five (45) days following the completion of such audit.

2.3 Gross Revenue Statement. The Revenue Growth Payments for each period shall be accompanied by a schedule reflecting the calculation of the Revenue Growth Payments in reasonable detail. The Company shall have the right, at its expense, to audit the underlying statements and accounts relating to the Specified Customers, which GCI shall make or cause to be made reasonably available to the Company, to verify the accuracy of the Revenue Growth Payments; provided that only one audit shall be conducted by the Company in respect of the Revenue Growth Payment for any given period. All information obtained in any such audit shall be maintained in confidence and used only for the purpose contemplated by this Section 2.3. Any such audit shall be conducted upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unnecessarily or unreasonably interfere with the operations of GCI. If, as a result of such audit, the Company believes that an additional Revenue Growth Payment is due, it shall notify GCI in writing and shall provide GCI reasonably detailed information reflecting the basis for the additional payment claimed. Within ten (10) days of receipt of that notice, GCI shall either pay the additional amount claimed or notify the Company that GCI disagrees with the claim, which notice shall specify the amount, if any, of the additional Revenue Growth Payment that GCI agrees is due. If the Parties are unable to resolve any disagreement within ten (10) days after a notice of disagreement is given by GCI, either party may have such disagreement resolved pursuant to arbitration provided for in Section 10.1.

2.4 Non-Transferability of Right to Revenue Growth Payments. The rights of the Company to receive Revenue Growth Payments cannot be sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except to an Affiliate of the Company or the Sellers. Any attempted transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void and GCI shall not be obligated to recognize any rights in the purported transferee. In the event that GCI in good faith is uncertain after consulting with outside legal counsel as to the legal rights of any purported transferee or any other person claiming the right to receive Revenue Growth Payments, it may withhold the Revenue Growth Payments in question until it is presented with a court order establishing the rights of the parties and then pay the amount withheld, without interest, to the person entitled thereto in accordance with that order. No transfer shall affect the rights of GCI to set off against Revenue Growth Payments as provided in Section 7.7.

7.1.1Any breach of any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of GCI in this Agreement (as each such representation or warranty would be read if all qualifications as to materiality, knowledge or words of similar import were deleted therefrom); or

7.1.2Any breach or default in performance by GCI of any covenant or other agreement of such party contained in this Agreement.

7.2 By the Sellers.

- 36 -

BUS_RE\1394606.17

7.2.2Any breach or default in performance by the Sellers of any covenant or other agreement of such parties contained in this Agreement;

7.2.3Any claim, Lien, notice of non-compliance or violation, notice of liability, proceeding, consent order or consent agreement against any of the Acquired Companies or any Person made under or in accordance with any Environmental Laws or any Liability or obligation for injury or damages due to, or as a result of, the presence of, effects of, or exposure to any Hazardous Materials; or

7.2.4Any other event, act, omission, condition, fact or circumstance occurring, existing or first arising prior to the Closing Date and relating to the Acquired Companies or the Sellers, whether or not such event, act, omission, condition, fact or circumstance is described in this Agreement or otherwise known to GCI or was known to any of the Sellers or the Acquired Companies, except such as (A) constitute or give rise to a breach of representations, warranties or covenants of GCI under this Agreement, and (B) constitute Liabilities specifically identified on the Closing Financial Statements.

7.3 Survival; Time Limits for Indemnification. The representations and warranties made in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, will survive the Closing Date (even if the damaged party knew or had reason to know of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty at the time of Closing) for a period of three years from the Closing Date, except that (a) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.8 (Tax Matters), 3.9 (Employee Benefit Plans) and 3.14 (Environmental Matters) shall survive the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation and (b) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 3.2 (Capitalization; Other Equity), 3.3 (Authority), 3.4 (No Conflict), 3.15.4 (Ownership of Property) and 3.25 (Representations Not Misleading) will survive the Closing Date indefinitely.

The Sellers, on the one hand, and GCI, on the other hand, shall promptly give written notice to the other of any facts or circumstances of which any such Person becomes aware or has knowledge that is reasonably likely to give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article 7. No Party will have any obligation to indemnify any Person pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty unless a notice of such breach is given to the Party against whom indemnification is sought on or prior to the last day of the applicable survival period, except that if a Party has a reasonable basis to believe that an indemnifiable claim will arise and gives notice to the other Party concerning such matter within the survival period, then all rights of such Party to seek indemnification with respect to such matter will survive the expiration of such period for a period of 180 days. If an indemnifiable claim has not arisen prior to the expiration of that 180-day period but the Party continues to have a reasonable basis to believe that an indemnifiable claim will arise and gives notice to such effect to the other Party prior to the end of such 180-day period, then all rights of the Party to seek indemnification with respect to such matter will survive for one additional period of 180 days. If an indemnifiable claim does not arise prior to the end of the second 180-day period, the rights of the Party to seek indemnification will terminate at the expiration thereof. If a Party is obligated to indemnify another Party against a particular breach, the indemnity obligation shall extend to all Losses, whether occurring before or after the survival period.

If and when the aggregate of such Losses exceeds $500,000, the GCI Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification against all Losses incurred under Section 7.2.1, including the initial $500,000 of Losses.

7.4.2The aggregate indemnification obligations of the Sellers under Sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.4 shall not exceed 25% of the amount of the Cash Consideration. The limits on liability contained in this Section 7.4 shall not apply to the indemnification obligations of the Sellers under Sections 7.2.2 and 7.2.3.

7.4.3Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, there shall be no limitation on any GCI Indemnitee’s right to indemnification from and against any Losses arising directly or indirectly out of (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Sellers that involves an intentional misrepresentation or the commission of fraud by the Sellers or (b) any act or omission or other matter arising prior to Closing that involves a claim by a third party for material misrepresentation, fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, and each GCI Indemnitee shall have all remedies available to it at law and in equity with respect to any such breach, act, omission or matter.

7.5 Defense of Claims. Subject to Section 9.1.5, the procedures to be followed with respect to the defense and settlement of any claim made by a third party which, if true, would give rise to a right on the part of a Party to be indemnified against resulting Losses (an “Indemnitee”), in whole or in part, under this Article 7 (a “Claim”) shall be as follows:

7.5.1Right of Indemnifying Party to Defend. Unless in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Indemnitee (i) there is a material conflict between the positions of the Party against whom indemnification is sought under this Article 7 (an “Indemnifying Party”) and the Indemnitee in conducting the defense of a Claim or (ii) legitimate business considerations would require the Indemnitee to defend or respond to a Claim in a manner that is materially different from the defense or response that would be most beneficial to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, by giving notice to the Indemnitee confirming the Indemnifying Party’s obligation under this Article 7 to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect of the Claim, be entitled to assume and control the defense of the claim with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense after such assumption, but the costs of such participation (other than the costs of providing witnesses or documents at the request of the Indemnifying Party or in response to legal process) following such assumption shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee. Upon assuming such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall have full right to enter into any compromise or settlement which is dispositive of the matter involved; provided that, except for the settlement of a Claim that involves no material obligation of the Indemnitee other than the payment of money for which full indemnification is provided by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably delayed or withheld; and provided, further, that the

- 38 -

BUS_RE\1394606.17

Indemnifying Party may not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of a Claim which does not include the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a complete and unconditional release from all liability in respect of the Claim.

7.5.2Defense by Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Party (i) does not have the right to assume the defense of a Claim under Section 7.5.1 or (ii) shall not have exercised its right to assume the defense of the Claim, the Indemnitee may assume and control the defense of the Claim with counsel chosen by it that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the Indemnitee incurred in connection with such defense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for all Indemnitees in any single action. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Claim, but the cost of such participation shall be at its own expense. The Indemnitee shall not be required to defend any Claim under this Section 7.5.2 that the Indemnifying Party had the right to defend under Section 7.5.1 and, if the Indemnitee elects to defend such a Claim, it shall owe no duties to the Indemnifying Party with respect to the defense of such Claim, and may defend, fail to defend or settle such Claim without affecting its right to indemnity hereunder. The Indemnitee may compromise or settle any Claim that it is defending at any time; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any Claim that the Indemnifying Party did not have the right to defend under Section 7.5.1 without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

7.5.3Indemnitee’s Right to Settle. Without regard to whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnitee is defending a Claim, if in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee it would be materially harmed or otherwise materially prejudiced by not entering into a proposed settlement or compromise and the Indemnifying Party withholds consent to such settlement or compromise, the Indemnitee may enter into such settlement or compromise, but such settlement or compromise shall not be conclusive as to the existence or amount of the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee.

7.5.4Cooperation. Both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with one another in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any Claim, including without limitation making available to the other all pertinent information and witnesses within its control at reasonable intervals during normal business hours.

7.6 Recovery from Escrow Fund. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate any GCI Indemnitee for any Losses actually suffered or incurred by the GCI Indemnitees for which the GCI Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7. All claims for recovery for any Loss or Losses from the Escrow Fund shall be made pursuant to and in accordance with, and governed by the terms of, the Escrow Agreement.

7.7 Set-off. Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 7, GCI may offset any Loss for which it is entitled to be indemnified under this Article 7 against any Revenue Growth Payments that subsequently become due pursuant to Article 2. This provision is not intended to limit GCI’s right to indemnification to amounts offset pursuant to this Section 7.7. In the event that GCI intends to effect a set-off under this Section 7.7, it shall provide the

- 39 -

BUS_RE\1394606.17

Sellers with notice thereof, including a reasonably detailed description of the matter in respect of which the right to indemnification is claimed.

7.8 Limitations. Except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or the commission of fraud, the right to be indemnified pursuant to this Article 7 will constitute the exclusive remedy of the parties after the Closing Date for Losses arising by virtue of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement, absent fraud.

7.9 Insurance. With respect to any Losses for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article 7 and which Losses may be covered by insurance, such Indemnitee will be able to make a claim for indemnification (i) to the extent that the Indemnitee has not received proceeds from insurance applicable to such claim, (ii) in an amount equal to the Indemnitee’s applicable deductible for such coverage, (iii) to the extent that the Loss otherwise exceeds the applicable insurance coverage, and (iv) to the extent that the Loss is otherwise excluded in whole or in part from any such applicable insurance coverage. If an Indemnifying Party paid an Indemnitee for an indemnification claim under this Agreement and the Indemnitee subsequently receives insurance proceeds in respect of such indemnification claim, the Indemnitee shall remit promptly to the Indemnifying Party who paid such indemnification claim the lesser of the amount so paid by the Indemnifying Party or such insurance proceeds.

7.10Recovery from Third Parties. With respect to any Losses for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article 7 and which Losses may be covered by insurance, an Indemnitee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (and not more) to recover all insurance proceeds reasonably available. An Indemnitee shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts (and not more) to assist an Indemnifying Party in the recovery of any amounts reasonably available from other third parties with respect to such Losses.
