Notwithstanding Section 2.3 above, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall retain, and shall be responsible for paying, performing and discharging when due, and Buyer shall not assume or have any responsibility for, the Liabilities set forth on Section 2.4 of the Seller Disclosure Letter and all other Liabilities that are not Assumed Liabilities (individually and collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”).

The Working Capital Escrow Fund shall be held in escrow until the resolution of the procedures described in Section 2.6 hereof and shall be available to satisfy any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6.

2.6

Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Post-Closing Estimate. Within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare, or caused to be prepared, and present to Seller a written statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital, along with reasonable supporting detail to evidence Buyer’s calculations, explanations and assumptions for the calculation of such amounts. After the Closing Date, at Buyer’s request, Seller shall cause Seller’s and Seller’s Subsidiaries’ employees to assist Buyer and its Representatives in their preparation of the Closing Statement, determination of Closing Working Capital, and review of the Dispute Notice (as defined below) and shall provide to Buyer and its Representatives any information reasonably requested and access at all reasonable times to the personnel, properties, books and records of Seller and Seller’s Subsidiaries for such purpose.

(b) Disputes. If Seller disagrees with all or any portion of the Closing Statement, Seller shall notify Buyer of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement and including a revised version of the Closing Statement (the “Dispute Notice”), within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Closing Statement. In the event that Seller does not provide a Dispute Notice within such thirty (30) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement in its entirety, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. Any components or calculations making up Closing Working Capital not objected to in the Dispute Notice shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes

Page 10

hereunder. In the event any such Dispute Notice is provided within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable best efforts for a period of fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree in writing) to negotiate and resolve any disagreements by Seller set forth in the Dispute Notice. During each day of the thirty (30) day period following Seller’s receipt of the Closing Statement and the fifteen (15) day period described in the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall on a timely basis, provide to Seller and its authorized Representatives reasonable access to all personnel, properties, books and records of Buyer for the purpose of evaluating the Closing Statement. If, at the end of the fifteen (15) day period, they do not resolve any such disagreements, then Buyer and Seller shall engage Xxxxxxx & Marsal, or if they are not available for any reason, another mutually agreeable independent nationally recognized certified public accounting firm or other firm that provides such services (and failing such mutual agreement, the firm that is selected by the two firms that are selected by Seller and Buyer) to resolve such dispute (the “Neutral Auditor”). The Neutral Auditor shall be provided with (i) a copy of this Agreement, (ii) the Closing Statement and related supporting detail prepared by Buyer and delivered to Seller, (iii) the Dispute Notice and any supporting detail accompanying such Dispute Notice prepared by Seller, and (iv) any information requested by the Neutral Auditor as necessary or appropriate in resolving such dispute. The Neutral Auditor shall review such statements and, shall be instructed to, within thirty (30) days of its appointment, deliver a revised version of the Closing Statement setting forth its resolution of the dispute, which absent fraud or manifest error, shall be binding upon the parties; provided, however, that in resolving any disputed item, the Neutral Auditor (i) shall be bound by the principles set forth in this Section 2.6 and (ii) shall select an amount that is either the amount as shown on the Closing Statement or the Dispute Notice or any amount between the amounts shown on the Closing Statement and Dispute Notice. The fees and costs of the Neutral Auditor, if one is required, shall be paid by Buyer and Seller in proportion to the discrepancy between each party’s calculation of Closing Working Capital and the determination rendered by the Neutral Auditor.

(c) Determinations; Adjustments. If the Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 is greater than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to such excess and (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such excess and (ii) the Working Capital Escrow Agent shall pay the Working Capital Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Specified Account. If the Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 is less than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to such shortfall (the “Final Working Capital Shortfall”) and the Final Working Capital Shortfall shall be paid to Buyer from the Working Capital Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. In the event that the Final Working Capital Shortfall exceeds the amount in the Working Capital Escrow Fund, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such difference. In the event that the Final Working Capital Shortfall is less than the amount in the Working Capital Escrow Fund, then the Working Capital Escrow Agent shall pay such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Specified Account. Any payments required under this Section 2.6(c) shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the amount of Closing Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6.

2.7 Allocation of Purchase Price. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and present to Seller a written allocation of the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 2.5 (including amounts described in clause (ii) to the extent they are liabilities taken into account in determining Buyer’s Tax basis in the Purchased Assets), pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code, among the Purchased Assets and the Non-Competition Agreement for all Tax purposes in accordance with this Section 2.7 (the “Allocation”). Within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Allocation from Buyer, Seller may notify Buyer in writing that it does not consent to the use of the

Page 11

Allocation prepared by Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, identifying with reasonable detail those items in the Allocation with which it disagrees. If Seller fails to provide such notice within the thirty (30) day period, it shall be treated as having agreed to the Allocation prepared by Buyer. If Seller timely provides such notice, any disputed items shall be submitted to an independent nationally recognized certified public accounting firm or other firm that provides such services selected by the mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer (and failing such mutual agreement, the firm that is selected by the two firms that are selected by Seller and Buyer) (the “Arbiter”) for resolution (the cost of which shall be equally borne by Buyer and Seller). Buyer and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Arbiter to complete its resolution of such disputed items within fifteen (15) days of its appointment. If there is an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6, Buyer shall prepare and present to Seller an adjusted allocation of the purchase price (such adjusted allocation solely reflecting the adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6) within fifteen (15) days of that adjustment becoming final, and the foregoing procedures shall be repeated except that the thirty (30) day time period shall be fifteen (15) days, and the adjusted allocation thereafter shall be treated as the Allocation for purposes of this Agreement. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Buyer and Seller shall timely file in the manner required by applicable law all Tax Returns (such as IRS Form 8594 or any other forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code (“Section 1060 Forms”)) in a manner that is consistent with the Allocation (whether mutually agreed to or resolved by the Arbiter) and shall refrain from taking any action inconsistent therewith.

Assignment of Contracts and Rights.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 2.10(b)), this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Contract if an attempted assignment thereof, without consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer thereunder. Prior to and after the Closing, Seller and its Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Purchased Contract for the assignment thereof to Buyer as Buyer may reasonably request and Buyer shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation to Seller to obtain such consents. Unless and until such consent is obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would materially adversely affect the rights of Seller or its Subsidiaries thereunder so that Buyer would not in fact receive all rights under such Purchased Contract, Seller, its Subsidiaries and Buyer will cooperate in any lawful arrangement reasonably proposed by Buyer under which Buyer would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sub-licensing, or subleasing to Buyer, or under which Seller would enforce, at Seller’s expense, for the benefit of Buyer, with Buyer assuming, at Seller’s expense, Seller’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations, any and all rights of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries against a third party thereto. Seller will promptly pay to Buyer, when received, all monies received by Seller or its Subsidiaries under any Purchased Contract, and Buyer shall pay, defend, discharge and perform all Assumed Liabilities under such Purchased Contracts. If any Assigned Contract is not assigned by Seller or its Subsidiaries to Buyer as a result of the absence of any required consent (“Restricted Contract”), Buyer shall not be under any obligation whatsoever to assume any Assumed Liabilities arising under such Restricted Contract, except as set forth in the third sentence of this Section 2.10.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) the obligation of Seller to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee for (I) Losses under Section 7.2 (other than Section 7.2(a)) or (II) Losses arising out of or resulting from any fraud or intentional misrepresentation and (B) the obligation of Buyer to indemnify any Seller Indemnitee for (I) Losses under Section 7.4 (other than Section 7.4(a)) or (II) for Losses arising out of or resulting from any fraud or intentional misrepresentation, shall survive indefinitely and shall not be limited by any applicable statute of limitations.

7.2 Indemnification by Seller. Seller and its Subsidiaries hereby, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, and its officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns (“Buyer Indemnitees”) for, any and all direct or indirect claims, suits, actions, proceedings, Liabilities, obligations, judgments, fines, penalties, claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and

Page 40

disbursements of counsel, accountants and other experts whether incurred in connection with any of the foregoing or in connection with any investigative, administrative or adjudicative proceeding, whether or not such Buyer Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto), together with any and all reasonable and documented costs and expenses associated with the investigation of the same (provided that, with respect to costs of investigation in the case of a third party claim, Buyer shall have provided Seller with written notice of such claim in accordance with Section 7.5 and Seller has elected not to defend the same) and/or the enforcement of the provisions hereof and thereof (collectively, “Losses”), which may be incurred by such Buyer Indemnitee relating to, based upon, resulting from or arising out of:

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or its Subsidiaries in this Agreement or in any Transaction-Related Document as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date during the survival periods set forth in Section 7.1;

(b) the breach of any agreement, covenant or obligation of Seller and its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction-Related Document;

(d) any Liability arising under any Environmental Law resulting from operations occurring as of or prior to the Closing;

(e) any Liability arising in connection with any claims, suits, actions or proceedings against Seller, Buyer any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives by any shareholder or creditor of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates;

(f) any claim for payment of fees or commissions as a broker, finder or financial advisor in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(g) any Liability arising under the Business Benefit Plans; and

(h) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

in the case of each of (a) through (e) whether or not the Loss arises from a third party claim.

7.3

Limits on Indemnification.

(a) Other than with respect to any indemnification claim made with respect to Losses arising from a claim, action or proceeding related to breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.12, 4.17 and 4.19(b)(i), or any claim under Sections 7.2(b)-(h), for all of which the limitations set forth in Sections 7.3(a) and (b) do not apply, no claim for indemnification shall be brought under Section 7.2 unless (i) the aggregate amount of all Losses under Section 7.2(a) are greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Minimum Basket”) at which xxxx Xxxxxx and its Subsidiaries shall be liable for all indemnity claims made by Buyer Indemnitees for the full amount of all Losses from the first dollar and (ii) the Losses suffered by the Buyer Indemnitees in connection with any individual item or series of related items exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any indemnification claims made with respect to Losses arising from a claim, action or proceeding related to breaches of the representations and warranties contained in the first sentence of Section 4.10, no claim for indemnification shall be brought under Section 7.2 unless (i) the

Page 41

aggregate amount of Losses with respect to such claims are greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and (ii) all Losses under Section 7.2(a) have exceeded the Minimum Basket, at which xxxx Xxxxxx and its Subsidiaries shall be liable for the excess of such Losses over such Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) threshold; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any indemnification claims made with respect to Losses arising from a claim, action or proceeding related to breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.14(d), no claim for indemnification shall be brought under Section 7.2 unless (i) the aggregate amount of Losses with respect to such claims are greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and (ii) all Losses under Section 7.2(a) have exceeded the Minimum Basket, at which xxxx Xxxxxx and its Subsidiaries shall be liable for the excess of such Losses over such Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) threshold. No claim for indemnification shall be brought under Section 7.4 unless (i) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which indemnification may be sought under Section 7.4 exceeds the Minimum Basket and (ii) the Losses suffered by the Seller Indemnitees in connection with any individual item or series of related items exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). For purposes of Sections 7.2(a) and 7.4(a), no effect shall be given to any qualification in the relevant representations and warranties as to materiality, Business Material Adverse Effect or Buyer Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

(b) Subject to Section 7.3(c) and Section 7.3(d), notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and except for Losses arising out of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.12, 4.17 and 4.19(b)(i), the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a) for any Losses in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate (the “Indemnification Cap”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the aggregate maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses for which Seller and its Subsidiaries shall be liable under Section 7.2(a) shall be the Purchase Price.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no claim for indemnification shall be brought with respect to damages under the Transition Services Agreement unless the aggregate amount of such Losses are greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), at which xxxx Xxxxxx and its Subsidiaries shall be liable for all indemnity claims made by Buyer Indemnitees for the full amount of all such Losses from the first dollar. The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to seek indemnification with respect to damages under the Transition Services Agreement for any Losses in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate (the “Transition Services Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that if such Losses exceed the Transition Services Indemnification Cap and result from or arise out of any occurrence, event, incident, action or failure to act on or prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, then the Buyer Indemnities shall be entitled to seek indemnification for the excess of such Losses over the Transition Services Indemnification Cap to the extent that such excess Losses do not exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), and the indemnification for such excess Losses shall only be available to the extent of, and to the extent used shall reduce dollar for dollar, the Indemnification Cap.

(e) In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnitee (as defined herein) with respect to any Loss for which any such Indemnitee has already been indemnified and paid hereunder or paid pursuant to a suit, action or proceeding pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof, then a payment equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (net of all direct collection expenses, the Minimum Basket and related insurance premiums) shall be made promptly to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge that neither party has any obligation to obtain insurance (or assign any insurance policy that is already in existence).

Page 42

(f) Except for Losses recovered by a third party under this Article VII, no party shall be liable to any other party for any special, punitive or exemplary damages, unless such Losses result from a claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(g) Any Loss for which any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Loss constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

7.4 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.1, Seller and its officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns (each, a “Seller Indemnitee” and together with the Buyer Indemnitees, the “Indemnitees”) for any and all Losses which may be incurred by such Seller Indemnitee relating to, based upon, resulting from or arising out of:

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Transaction-Related Document as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date during the survival period set forth in Section 7.1.

(b) the breach of any agreement, covenant or obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction-Related Document;

(d) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

in the case of each of (a) through (d) whether or not the Loss arises from a third party claim.

7.5 Defense Against Claims by Third Parties. If any Indemnitee shall receive notice of any third party claim, suit, arbitration or other legal proceeding giving rise to indemnity under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice of the same; provided, however, that failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnitor from any of its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (and only to the extent) the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitor may, but shall not be obligated to, upon prompt written notice furnished to the Indemnitee, assume (at its own expense), the defense of any such claim, suit, arbitration or other proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, if (i) the Indemnitor acknowledges to the Indemnitee in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnitee and agrees that no limitations under Section 7.3(a) or (b) shall apply thereto, (ii) the third party claim does not involve any Person set forth in Section 7.5 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, (iii) the third party claim only seeks monetary damages and does not seek an order, injunction or other equitable relief and (iv) the third party claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation. If the Indemnitor furnishes such written acknowledgment and agreement and assumes the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee shall settle or compromise any claim by a third party without the prior written consent of the other party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to withhold its written consent to any settlement or compromise offers that would either impose a restriction or burden on the operation of the Business after the date of such settlement or compromise or not release the Indemnitee from all liability upon the execution of any such settlement or compromise. If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of any such claim, suit, arbitration or other proceeding as provided above, (i) the

Page 43

Indemnitee may defend against the same with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor, in such manner as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate including, without limitation, settling such matter provided that such settlement shall be subject to the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, and (ii) the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense.

7.6 Remedies Exclusive. From and after the Closing, the rights of the Indemnitees to indemnification relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be strictly limited to those contained in this Article VII, and such indemnification rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for any Indemnitee subsequent to the Closing with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnitees hereby waive all other rights and remedies with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith, whether under laws or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Article VII shall limit any legal remedy of the parties hereto for claims for injunctive or other equitable relief or claims based on fraud.

7.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law.

ARTICLE VIII. TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing (with respect to Sections 8.1(b) through (e), by written notice by the terminating party to the other party):

(a) by mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;

(b) by either Buyer or Seller if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final nonappealable order, decree, judgment, injunction or ruling or taken any other action enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall have used its reasonable best efforts to have such order, decree, judgment, injunction or ruling lifted;

(c) by either Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before May 31, 2012 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to any party if the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on or before such date;

(d) by Buyer, in the event of a material breach by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein, or if a representation or warranty of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries shall have become untrue, which situation in either case would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or (b); provided, however, that Buyer shall have given at least twenty (20) days prior written notice and Seller shall have failed to remedy such breach and Buyer is not in willful and material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement; or

(e) by Seller, in the event of a material breach by Buyer of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein, or if a representation or warranty of Buyer

Page 44

shall have become untrue, which situation in either case, would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or (b); provided, however, that Seller shall have given at least twenty (20) days prior written notice and Buyer shall have failed to remedy such breach and Seller is not in willful and material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement.

8.2 Effects of Termination. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by either Buyer or Seller as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall immediately become null and void and have no effect, and none of Buyer, Seller or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any Liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that Sections 5.4(b) (Access to Information), 5.8 (Publicity), 8.2 (Effects of Termination), 9.1 (Expenses) and 9.6 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue) and all other obligations of the parties specifically intended to be performed after the termination of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor Seller shall be relieved or released from any Liabilities (which the parties acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs) arising out of fraud or a breach of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall be deemed to affect their right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.9.

8.3 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

8.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No provision of this Agreement requiring any party to use reasonable best efforts or to act in good faith in any context shall be interpreted to require a party, as part of such party’s duty to use reasonable best efforts or to act in good faith in the context in question, to waive any condition to the obligations of such party hereunder or to refrain from exercising any right or power such party may have hereunder.

ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Expenses. Except as may otherwise be agreed to hereunder or in other writing by the parties, all legal and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

Page 46

(c) Each party hereto has or may have set forth information in its respective Disclosure Letter in a section thereof that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a Disclosure Letter to this Agreement shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

Where a word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning.

9.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement, and any documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided, however, that effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to Buyer’s obligations involving information relating to the Business.

9.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its rules of conflict of laws. Each of Buyer, Seller and its Subsidiaries hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of New York and of the United States of America located in New York County in the State of New York (the “New York Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the New York Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any New York Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum.

Page 47

States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service. Service made pursuant to the process above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the State of New York.

9.7 Severability. In the event that any one or more provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement and the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision which, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents of this Agreement.

9.8 Assignment; Reliance of Other Parties. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, without the prior written consent of Seller or its Subsidiaries, assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of the direct or indirect Subsidiaries of Charlesbank Equity Fund VII, Limited Partnership (but Buyer shall remain responsible for its obligations hereunder if not performed by such assignee). Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) does not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.9 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, (a) Buyer shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, without the posting of any bond, to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Seller or its Subsidiaries and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any agreement referenced herein, in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity and (b) Seller shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, without the posting of any bond, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any agreement referenced herein, to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Buyer and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any agreement referenced herein, in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.

9.11

Waiver of Jury Trial.

Page 48

(b) Each party certifies and acknowledges that (i) it understands and has considered the implications of waivers in Section 9.11(a) hereof, (ii) it makes such waivers voluntarily, and (iii) it has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers in Section 9.11 hereof.
