A. The respective boards of directors of the Company and Merger Sub have determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of the shareholders of their respective companies that Merger Sub merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company to survive the Merger and, immediately following the consummation of the Merger, to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, in furtherance thereof, have approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

B. The Significant Shareholder owns an aggregate of 6,694,500 shares of the Company’s capital stock, constituting approximately 95.64% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock.

C. In connection with the Merger, the outstanding shares of Company’s capital stock will be converted into the right to receive the cash amounts described in and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.11 Holdback Amount.

(a) The Significant Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that the amount of $5,000,000 (the “Initial Holdback Amount”) shall be automatically netted out of the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration payable to the Significant Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement. On the date which is 15 months from the Closing Date (the “Holdback Payment Date”), the Purchaser and the Company shall, on a joint and several basis, pay to the Significant Shareholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts as the Significant Shareholder may direct, an amount (the “Remaining Holdback Amount”) equal to (A) the Initial Holdback Amount, minus (B) the amount of any decreases to the Holdback Amount pursuant to Section 2.13, 6.5 or 9; provided, that, the amount of the Remaining Holdback Amount payable on the Holdback Payment Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of each Unsatisfied Claim pending on the Holdback Payment Date; and, provided, further, that the Remaining Holdback Amount as such term is used in this Section 2.11 shall include the aggregate amount of interest that has accrued (and remains unpaid) on the rest of the Remaining Holdback Amount as of such payment date based on a rate of one percent (1.0%) per annum.

The CFO Certificate shall be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days, but no earlier than five (5) Business Days, prior to the Closing Date. The estimates set forth in the CFO Certificate shall be based on the books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and all other information then available and shall be prepared in accordance with the standards for the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet specified in Section 2.13(b). At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Company shall deliver to Purchaser Pay-Off Letters (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) with respect to all Closing Debt.

(b) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Holders’ Agent (i) a consolidated balance sheet of Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) prepared in the manner specified in this Section 2.13(b), (ii) a determination of the Net Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), (iii) a determination of the Company Cash and the Company Debt as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Company Cash” and the “Closing Company Debt”, respectively) and (iv) a statement setting forth the determination of the resulting Adjustment Amount, based on the amounts referred to in clause (ii) and (iii) above (the “Adjustment Statement”), provided that the Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared (and the determinations referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be made) without giving effect to any event or occurrence after the Closing involving the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s financing transactions (if any) in connection therewith and shall not reflect any impact of purchase accounting as a result of the occurrence of the Closing. The determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Company Cash, and Closing Company Debt, in each case, shall be derived from the Closing Date Balance Sheet. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the accounting practices, policies, judgments and methodologies used in the preparation of the Company Balance Sheet (but only to the extent such practices, policies, judgments and methodologies are consistent with GAAP).

(c) During the period of time from the Holders’ Agent’s receipt of the Adjustment Statement through the final determination of the Adjustment Statement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Holders’ Agent and the Representatives of the Holders’ Agent shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to review all records, work papers and calculations related to the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Company Cash, and Closing Company Debt and the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Adjustment Statement; provided that, to the extent that the Holders’ Agent or any Representative thereof requests access to work papers of an independent accountant pursuant to this Section 2.13, such access shall be subject to the execution and delivery by the Holders’ Agent or such Representative, as applicable, of a customary hold harmless letter with respect thereto in favor of such accountant acceptable to such independent accountant in its sole discretion but only to the extent such hold harmless letter is requested by such independent accountant. The Holders’ Agent shall have sixty (60) days after delivery of the Adjustment Statement to him in which to notify Purchaser in writing (such notice, an “Adjustment Dispute Notice”) of any discrepancy in, or disagreement with, the items reflected on the Adjustment Statement (and specifying the amount in dispute and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such discrepancy or disagreement). If the Holders’ Agent does not deliver a Adjustment Dispute Notice to Purchaser during such sixty (60) day period, the Adjustment Statement shall be deemed to be accepted in the form presented to the Holders’ Agent, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such Adjustment Dispute Notice is timely provided, Purchaser and the Holders’ Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements specified in the Adjustment Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and the Holders’ Agent do not agree in writing, within thirty (30) days after timely delivery of the Adjustment Dispute Notice, to resolve any discrepancy or disagreement therein, the Holders’ Agent and the Purchaser shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) for final review and resolution any and all amounts and issues which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Adjustment Dispute Notice. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be an internationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by the Holders’ Agent and Purchaser in writing and, failing such agreement, the Holders’ Agent and Purchaser shall select an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing to serve as Independent Accounting Firm by lot, based on the list of firms set forth on Schedule 2.13, after eliminating any such firm that has a current material business relationship with the Holders’ Agent, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be engaged by the Holders’ Agent and Purchaser no later than five (5) Business Days following the later to occur of (i) the conclusion of such 30-day period and (ii) the determination of the identity of the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 2.13(c). Each of the Holders’ Agent and Purchaser agrees to promptly execute, if requested by the Independent Accounting Firm, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to such dispute in accordance with this Section 2.13(c). The determination by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be based

solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by the Holders’ Agent and Purchaser to the Independent Accounting Firm and not on the Independent Accounting Firm’s independent review, and Purchaser’s presentations to the Accounting Firm shall be consistent with Purchaser’s earlier positions set forth in the Adjustment Statement, and the Holders’ Agent’s presentations to the Independent Accounting Firm shall be consistent with the Holders’ Agent’s earlier positions set forth in the Adjustment Dispute Notice. The Holders’ Agent and Purchaser will provide copies to one another of all written submissions to the Independent Accounting Firm and shall be permitted to attend (and shall receive reasonable advance written notice of) any meeting with or presentations to the Accounting Firm. The Holders’ Agent and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Accounting Firm of the disputed items (but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm), and each of the Holders’ Agent and Purchaser shall be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other presenter and any questions and requests of the Independent Accounting Firm. The review of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to the discrepancies and disagreements set forth in the Adjustment Dispute Notice and still in dispute at the end of the 30-day period following the delivery thereof, and the determination of the Adjustment Amount by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be (i) in writing, (ii) be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and with the undisputed portions of the Adjustment Statement and, without limitation of the foregoing, shall be made in accordance with GAAP in accordance with the standards used in the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet set forth in Section 2.13(b), (iii) with respect to any specific discrepancy or disagreement, no greater than the higher amount calculated by Purchaser in the Adjustment Statement or by the Holders’ Agent in the Adjustment Dispute Notice and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Purchaser in the Adjustment Statement or by the Holders’ Agent in the Adjustment Dispute Notice and (iv) made as promptly as practical after the presentations of the Holders’ Agent and Purchaser with respect to such discrepancies and disagreements to the Independent Accounting Firm (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date of such presentations). Any such determination by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the parties hereto, the Holders’ Agent, and the Company Holders and their respective successors and assigns for all purposes hereof, and not subject to collateral attack for any reason absent manifest error or fraud. All expenses and fees of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne one-half (1/2) by the Purchaser and one-half (1/2) by the Significant Shareholder; provided, however, that if the Independent Accounting Firm determines that the final amount owed by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.13(d) below is greater than 110% of the previously disputed amount that was proposed by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall bear 100% of the expenses and fees of the Independent Accounting Firm, and if the Independent Accounting Firm determines that the final amount owed to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.13(d) below is less than 90% of the previously disputed amount that was proposed by the Holders’ Agent, the Significant Shareholder (provided that such obligation shall first, be satisfied by the reduction, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, of the Holdback Amount (in which case the Company shall pay such expenses and fees of the Independent Accounting Firm to the extent of such reduction), and, second, to the extent the amount of such reduction is less than the amount of such obligation, the difference shall be paid by the Significant Shareholder). The Adjustment Statement (and the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the calculations of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Company Debt, Closing Company Cash and the Adjustment Amount contained therein) shall be “finally

determined pursuant to Section 2.13(c)” either (i) when the 60-day period after delivery of the Adjustment Statement to the Holders’ Agent expires, if the Holders’ Agent has not delivered the Adjustment Dispute Notice in accordance with this Section 2.13(c), (ii) when the Holders’ Agent and Purchaser agree thereon in writing, or (iii) if (A) the Holders’ Agent has disputed, in accordance with this Section 2.13(c), the Adjustment Statement (or the Closing Date Balance Sheet or the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Company Debt, Closing Company Cash and Closing Adjustment Amount contained therein), and (B) such items were subject to determination by the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 2.13(c), when the Independent Accounting Firm delivers its final determination in writing (in accordance with this Section 2.13(c)) to the Holders’ Agent and Purchaser with respect to such items. The date on which the Adjustment Statement (and the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the calculations of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Company Debt, Closing Company Cash and the Adjustment Amount contained therein) are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.13(c) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date”.

(d) If the Adjustment Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.13(c) is greater than zero, Purchaser shall pay to the Holders’ Agent, for further distribution by the Holders’ Agent to the Former Shareholders and to the Former Optionholders (but only if they held In-the-Money-Options immediately prior to the Effective Time and have executed and delivered Option Cancellation Agreements) in accordance with their respective Holder Percentages, the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds, no later than five (5) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of written wire instructions from the Holders’ Agent with respect thereto. If the Adjustment Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.13(c) is less than zero, then first, the Holdback Amount shall reduced (but not below zero), on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the Adjustment Amount, and, second, to the extent the amount of such reduction is less than the Adjustment Amount, the difference shall be paid by the Significant Shareholder to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Significant Shareholder’s receipt of written wire instructions from Purchaser with respect thereto. If the Adjustment Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.13(c) equals zero, no reduction of the Holdback Amount, nor any payment, shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.13(d).

2.14 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, registration and other such Taxes (including, without limitation, charges for or in connection with the recording of any instrument or document as provided in this Agreement) payable in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be equally paid by Purchaser and Significant Shareholder (provided that such obligation of Significant Shareholder shall first, be satisfied by the reduction, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, of the Holdback Amount (in which case the Company shall pay such portion of such Taxes to the extent of such reduction), and, second, to the extent remaining unsatisfied after giving effect to such reduction, shall be paid by the Significant Shareholder). The parties agree to cooperate with each other in the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in their possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such Tax Returns.

2.15 Consideration Spreadsheet. The Company shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser, no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, a spreadsheet (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”) in the form agreed to by the Company and Purchaser, which spreadsheet shall be dated as of the Closing Date and shall set forth all of the following information, as of the Closing Date: (a) the names of all the Company Holders and their respective addresses and taxpayer identification numbers as reflected in the records of the Company; (b) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by, or subject to the Company Options held by, such Persons; (c) the exercise price per share of each Company Option; (d) the Fully Diluted Number, (e) the calculation of the Company Cash and Company Debt (including an itemized list of each item of Company Debt indicating the Person to whom such expense is owed), the Closing Merger Consideration, and the Closing Common Stock Per Share Amount; (f) the amount of Specified Transaction Expenses (including an itemized list of each such Specified Transactional Expense indicating the general nature of such expense (i.e., legal, accounting, etc.) and the Person to whom such expense is owed); (g) the aggregate amount of cash, based on the Closing Merger Consideration, issuable to each Company Holder in exchange for the Company Common Stock held by such Persons; (h) the sum of the Closing Company Option Amounts payable to each holder of a Company Option in exchange for the Company Options held by such Persons; and (i) the amount of the change in control payment to be received by each individual identified in Schedule 2.2(b)(i)(c) pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Change in Control Agreement to be entered into by the Company and such individual at or prior to the Closing. The Company agrees that the aggregate amount of all of the change of control payments to be set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet shall be not less than $7,000,000 and shall not exceed the amount which would result in the amount of the Closing Merger Consideration being zero. Unless otherwise provided herein, all payments from Purchaser to or for the benefit of the Company Holders, when and if required to be made in accordance with this Agreement, shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account(s) as shall be designated in writing and set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet. In the event that any holder of Company Options exercises, in whole or in part, Company Options after the Company’s delivery of the Consideration Spreadsheet to the Purchaser, but before the Closing, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser (no later than the Closing) an updated version of the Consideration Spreadsheet (dated as of the Closing Date) which takes into account the exercise of such Company Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Closing, neither Company nor Purchaser nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be bound by any of the information set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet to the extent that such information is incorrect.

2.16 Taking of Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Merger Sub, Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in their respective names and in the names of Company and Merger Sub to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary or desirable action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

The Purchaser shall pay all Taxes owed in respect of any net income or gain realized by the Escrow Account on a current basis. The Escrow Agent shall distribute cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the income Tax liability of Purchaser on such income or gain, using the tax rate to which such income or gain was subject as determined by the Purchaser (with an appropriate reduction in such tax rate attributable to imputed interest expense deductions reasonably expected to be realized by the Purchaser in respect of current and future payments to the Significant Shareholder of any Escrow Funds) (and the Purchaser and the Holders’ Agent shall give instructions to the Escrow Agent to such effect). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Escrow Funds shall be held, invested and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and in accordance with this Article II, Section 6.5(g) and Section 9.6(b).

(i) At the Purchaser’s written request to the Significant Shareholder, the Purchaser and all holders of Company Common Stock will jointly make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any corresponding election under applicable state and local Tax laws (the “Elections”) with respect to the Merger, and the Significant Shareholder will cause such holders to make such election. The Purchaser shall provide the Significant Shareholder with Internal Revenue Service Form 8023 and all other documentation required to be executed by the holders, as of the Closing Date, of Company Common Stock which are necessary to make the Elections (the “Election Documentation”) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Significant Shareholder shall promptly have each holder of Company Common Stock execute and deliver the Election Documentation to the Purchaser at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing. If the Purchaser chooses to make the Elections, the Purchaser shall notify the Significant Shareholder in writing of the Purchaser’s intent to make the Elections (such notice, the “Election Notice”) no later than the earlier of (the “Election Notice Deadline”): (A) the day which is ten (10) Business Days after the Determination Date and (B) March 15, 2011. If the Purchaser provides the Election Notice to the Significant Shareholder on or before the Election Notice Deadline, the Significant Shareholder and the Purchaser agree to report the transactions under this Agreement consistently with these Elections. The Purchaser will prepare and file all Tax Returns in connection with the Elections other than S Corporation Tax Returns.

(ii) If the Purchaser delivers the Election Notice to the Significant Shareholder on or before the Election Notice Deadline, then the Purchaser shall pay to the Holders’ Agent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with written wire instructions furnished by the Holders’ Agent), for further distribution by the Holders’ Agent to the Former Shareholders in accordance with their respective Holder Percentages, the 338(h)(10) Adjustment Amount within ten (10) Business Days after the later of (A) the date on which the Election Notice is delivered and (B) the date on which the 338(h)(10) Adjustment Amount is finally determined.

(iii) Purchaser will compute the adjusted basis of Company’s assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provisions of state, local, or foreign law, as appropriate) Within 120 Business Days following the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare a draft schedule allocating such basis among Company’s assets and shall provide such draft schedule to Significant Shareholder. Significant Shareholder shall be entitled to review and comment on such schedule for ten (10) Business Days, and Purchaser and Significant Shareholder shall work together in mutual good faith to reflect such comments. Solely in the event that (i) any disputed item making up part of Purchaser’s draft allocation has the effect of increasing the U.S. federal income Taxes imposed on the Company or the Significant Shareholder as a result of making the Elections pursuant to this Section 6.5(e), the amount of U.S. federal income Tax liabilities of the Company or the Significant Shareholder used by the parties for purposes of calculating the 338(h)(10) Adjustment Amount and (ii) Purchaser and the Significant Shareholder are unable to agree on such disputed item, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to procedures similar to those described in Section 2.13(c). The portions of the Purchaser’s draft allocation which are (a) not related to any such disputed item or (b) which are determined in accordance with the preceding sentence and Section 2.13(c), shall constitute the final allocation schedule and such final allocation schedule shall be delivered by Purchaser to the Significant Shareholder. Upon determination of the final allocation schedule, neither Purchaser nor Significant Shareholder shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such final allocation schedule to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(f) Compensation-Related Tax Items. The parties agree that (i) all payments made by the Company prior to the Closing with respect to unexercised Company Options shall (A) be reported as payments of compensation in cancellation of unexercised stock options, (B) be paid through Company payroll; (C) to the extent paid to current or former employees, be treated as “wages” subject to income and employment tax withholding; and (D) not be reported as payments in respect of exercised stock options; and (ii) all federal and state income tax deductions arising in connection with the payments to holders of Company Options and payments pursuant to Change in Control Agreements shall be allocated to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and deductible on the S Corporation Income Tax Returns for such Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party shall report consistently with the foregoing sentence for all Tax and financial reporting purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(g) Tax Audits and Contests. In the case of any audit, claim or refund, voluntary disclosure agreement process or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability or refund with respect to the Company (all of which hereinafter referred to as a “Contest”) that relates to an S Corporation Income Tax Return or a Covered Tax Matter, Significant Shareholder shall control the conduct of such Contest. Significant Shareholder shall be entitled to settle, compromise and/or concede such Contest, provided, however, that Significant Shareholder shall not be able to settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Contest that is reasonably likely to materially affect the Tax liability of Company for any taxable year (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Closing Date (a “Post-Closing Tax Consequence”) without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the case of a Contest that relates to a straddle period (other than any Contest that relates to an S Corporation Income Tax Return), Purchaser shall be entitled to control such Contest. Significant Shareholder shall have the right to participate in any portion of such Contest that relates to the portion of the straddle period ending on the Closing Date at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Significant Shareholder shall only have the right to control a Contest as provided in this Section 6.5(g), if the Significant Shareholder first acknowledges to Purchaser, in writing, its obligation to indemnify Purchaser for any Taxes of the Company (other than Taxes attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Consequence) due as a result of such Contest and demonstrates her ability to satisfy liabilities arising from such obligation; provided, that if the Significant Shareholder does not provide such acknowledgement and demonstrate such ability, the Significant Shareholder shall nonetheless be entitled to participate in such Contest at Significant Shareholder’s sole cost and expense. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not apply to (i.e., the Significant Shareholder need not acknowledge an obligation to indemnify Purchaser for) income Taxes payable by the stockholders of the Company as a result of the Company being an S corporation for federal or state income tax purposes prior to the Closing or for a Covered Tax Matter to the extent of the remaining Escrow Funds. For the further avoidance of doubt, all Contests involving Taxes other than with respect to (i) an S Corporation Income Tax Return, (ii) Covered Tax Matters and (iii) straddle periods shall be subject to the provisions of Article IX.

6.6 D&O Tail Policy. Effective as of Closing, Company shall have purchased a “run-off” or “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy to the current policy of the Company for a period of six years after the Closing Date, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing and having the same coverage limits and other terms and conditions no less favorable to each director, manager and officer (and former director, manager and officer) of Company and the Company Subsidiaries than the terms and conditions of the current policies of Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

6.7 No Solicitation of Acquisition Proposals by Company or Significant Shareholder; No Transfer of Company Common Stock.

(a) Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, neither Company nor the Significant Shareholder, nor the Holders’ Agent shall, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, shareholder, employee or other Representative thereof, (x) solicit or encourage (including by way of furnishing information) the initiation or submission of, or engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Purchaser or Merger Sub or their Representatives) regarding, any inquiries, proposals or offers regarding any acquisition, merger, sale or other disposition of material assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (other than the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business), any issuance, sale or other disposition of any equity interest in the Company or any Company Subsidiary (other than grants of Company Options to employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business and the exercise of such Company Options), or any transaction that would reasonably be expected to impede, frustrate or delay the transactions contemplated hereby (any of the foregoing inquiries, proposals or offers being referred to herein as a “Company Acquisition Proposal”; and any such transaction referred to, or contemplated by, the foregoing inquiries, proposals or offers being referred to herein as an “Alternative Transaction”).

(c) Each of Company, the Significant Shareholder, and the Holders’ Agent shall immediately cease and shall cause to be terminated by any of their respective Representatives any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties (other than Purchaser or Merger Sub) conducted prior to or as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal. Each of Company, the Significant Shareholder, and the Holders’ Agent agrees not to release any such parties from any confidentiality agreement to which it, she or he is a party.

8.2 Effect of Termination; Liquidated Damages.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, and (i) there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Company or any Significant Shareholder, or their respective officers, directors or shareholders, under this Agreement (whether for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement prior to the termination hereof or otherwise), except to the extent that such liability results from the breach (prior to the time of such termination) by either such party of any of its covenants, agreements representations, or warranties set forth in this Agreement and (ii) there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Purchaser or Merger Sub, or their respective officers, directors or shareholders, under this Agreement (whether for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement prior to the termination hereof or otherwise), except to the extent expressly provided in Section 8.2(b); provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.7 and the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement shall be terminated by the Company in accordance with Section 8.1(d), and at the time of such termination referred to in clause (x) above, (i) the Company and the Significant Shareholder are then willing and able to consummate the Closing, (ii) the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 have been and remain satisfied (including if the Closing were assumed to have occurred at such time), or are able to be satisfied with deliveries by the Company and the Significant Shareholder at the Closing (including if the Closing were assumed to have occurred at such time), and (iii) the Purchaser shall have failed to consummate the Closing, then Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, $1,625,000 (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”) in immediately available funds to the Company in accordance with written payment instructions executed by the Company, no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Purchaser’s receipt of such written instructions, and such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Options, including the Significant Shareholder, and the Holders’ Agent

The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(d) in circumstances where the Purchaser Termination Fee is payable in accordance with this Section 8.2(b), the right to payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee under this Section 8.2(b) constitutes a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by reason of any such termination and (ii) the agreements contained in this Section 8.2(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement. Upon payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 8.2(b), (i) no Person shall have any rights or claims against any of the Purchaser Parties under this Agreement (including this Section 8.2(b)), whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and (ii) none of the Purchaser Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

All obligations of the parties under the covenants contained herein (including the covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 6) shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations.

(b) Indemnification. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9 and the other limitations set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors in interest, assigns and representatives (each of the foregoing being referred to individually as a “Purchaser Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Purchaser Indemnified Persons”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Significant Shareholder from and against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by a Purchaser Indemnified Person arising by reason of, related to or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Company set forth in Section 3 or any representation or warranty of any Significant Shareholder in Section 3A or in any certificate delivered (prior to or at the Closing) by Company or Significant Shareholder pursuant hereto; provided, however, a failure by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, prior to the Closing, to collect or remit sales or use Taxes required to be collected or remitted under the applicable Legal Requirements of the Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of Maryland (or any local or other political subdivision of Virginia or Maryland) that is described in Section 9.2(a)(vi) shall not constitute a breach of a representation contained in Section 3.21 (relating to Taxes);

(ii) the breach of any pre-Closing covenant of Company or any pre- or post-Closing covenant of the Significant Shareholder in this Agreement,

(iii) Purchaser’s reliance upon the written instructions or directions of the Holders’ Agent;

(iv) any amount per share of the Company’s capital stock paid by Purchaser with respect to Dissenting Shares in excess of the portion of the Merger Consideration paid by Purchaser to any holder of Company Common Stock (other than a Dissenting Shareholder) pursuant to Section 2;

(vi) any failure by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, prior to the Closing, to collect or remit sales or use Taxes required to be collected or remitted under the applicable Legal Requirements of the Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of Maryland (or any local or other political subdivision of Virginia or Maryland).

For purposes of this Section 9, “Damages” shall mean any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, Taxes, fines, costs or expenses, including reasonable legal, expert and consultant fees and expenses, including indirect damages but excluding any speculative, special, consequential, exemplary and punitive damages, except, in each case, to the extent owed to a third party; provided, however, that for purposes of computing the amount of any Damages incurred by a Purchaser Indemnified Person: (1) there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of any Tax Benefit actually, or reasonably expected to be, received by any Purchaser Indemnified Person in connection with such Damages or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto; and (2) there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements actually received by any Purchaser Indemnified Person in respect of such Damages. For purposes hereof, the term “Tax Benefit” shall mean any refund of Taxes paid or credit of or reduction in the amount of Taxes which would otherwise have been paid. Purchaser shall and shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such insurance proceeds. Solely in the case of the determination of Damages for any claim pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(v)(d), Damages shall equal the lesser of (X) any increase in the income Tax liability of the Company and each Company Subsidiary for any period which is not a Pre-Closing Period to the extent such increase in income Tax liability is directly attributable to the failure of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to receive the benefit of the Elections (including loss of depreciation and amortization deductions, realization of greater amounts of income or gain or similar adverse consequences arising from a loss of any basis step-up which would have resulted from the Election being valid) or (Y) the 338(h)(10) Adjustment Amount.

(i) Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except (i) as set forth in Sections 2.13 and 10.10, or (ii) as set forth in the Letters of Transmittal, the right of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons to be indemnified pursuant to the terms of Section 9 of this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy, from and after the Closing, with respect to all Damages of whatever kind and nature, in law, equity or otherwise, known or unknown, which such parties have now or may have in the future attributable to any breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, or any breach of or failure to perform the covenants, agreements or undertakings contained in this Agreement, any disclosure schedule or certificate delivered pursuant hereto, other than as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation. The parties acknowledge that (A) except as expressly provided in Section 3 and Section 3A or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, neither Company nor the Significant Shareholder has made and is not making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, and (B) except as expressly provided in Section 3 and Section 3A or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser is not relying and has not relied on, any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied.

(ii) Deductible Basket. Except as set forth in Section 9.2(c)(iv), the indemnification provided for in Section 9.2(b)(i) shall not apply, and the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to exercise any indemnification rights under Section 9.2(b)(i) of this Agreement (other than for claims pursuant thereto with respect to Fundamental Representations or Special Representations), except to the extent that the aggregate amount of the Damages against which such Purchaser Indemnified Persons would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified under Section 9.2(b)(i) (other than for claims pursuant thereto with respect to Fundamental Representations or Special Representations) exceeds $325,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Indemnified Party shall, subject to the other limitations contained herein, be entitled to be indemnified under Section 9.2(b)(i) only against the portion of such Damages in excess of the Deductible.

(iii) Cap. Except as set forth in Section 9.2(c)(iv), the Significant Shareholder’s indemnity obligations for Damages under Section 9.2(b)(i) (other than for claims pursuant thereto with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations or Special Representations) shall be limited, in the aggregate, to an amount equal to $8,125,000 (the “General Rep Cap”); provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Significant Shareholder’s indemnity obligations for Damages arising from Damages under Sections 9.2(b)(i) (with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations and/or Special Representations), 9.2(b)(v) and 9.2(b)(vi) shall be limited to the total Merger Consideration actually received by the Significant Shareholder (the “Special Cap”). For purposes of this Section 9.2(c)(iii), any amounts paid from the Holdback Amount or the Escrow Account or by the Significant Shareholders directly to the Purchaser Indemnified Persons in accordance with Section 9 shall be deemed to have been paid by the Significant Shareholder to the Purchaser Indemnified Persons and, to the extent paid in accordance with Section 9.2(b)(i), shall be applied toward the General Rep Cap and the Special Cap.

(iv) Fraud; Intentional Misrepresentation. Nothing in this Section 9.2(c) shall limit any remedy that a Purchaser Indemnified Person may have against any Person for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(d) Control of Defense; Conditions. In the event Purchaser or another Purchaser Indemnified Person becomes aware of claim against such Person commenced or threatened by a third party (any such claim, a “Third Party Claim”) which Purchaser believes may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement by or on behalf of a Purchaser Indemnified Person, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Holders’ Agent of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay in providing such notice shall affect a Purchaser Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Holders’ Agent or the Significant Shareholder is materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice must contain a reasonably detailed description of the basis of the claim (to the extent known to Purchaser) and the nature and amount, if then reasonably ascertainable, of such Damages that may be indemnifiable (“Indemnifiable Damages”). The obligations of the Holders’ Agent under this Section with respect to Indemnifiable Damages arising from any Third Party Claim shall be governed by the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) The Holders’ Agent, at its option, shall be entitled to assume, at its sole cost and expense, control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and may appoint as lead counsel of such defense any reputable legal counsel selected by the Holders’ Agent and approved by Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), and, if the Holders’ Agent so chooses to assume control of the defense thereof, the Holders’ Agent shall diligently and in good faith prosecute such Third Party Claim to a final conclusion or settlement (subject to the applicable limitations on settlement set forth in this Section 9.2(d)). As soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than ten (10) days after the Holders’ Agent’s receipt of notice from the Purchaser of such Third Party Claim), the Holders’ Agent shall (i) notify the Purchaser (x) whether Holders’ Agent desires, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in, or, at its election, assume and control, the defense of such Third Party Claim, and (y) whether the Significant Shareholder acknowledges her liability hereunder to the applicable Purchaser

Indemnified Person with respect to such Third Party Claim, without any unreasonable reservation of rights hereunder (provided, that if such acknowledgment is not provided, the Holders’ Agent shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim but shall be entitled to participate therein), (ii) reasonably demonstrates his ability to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, (iii) reasonably demonstrates that the Remaining Holdback Amount (or, if applicable, the then-remaining Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account) shall be sufficient to satisfy any liabilities resulting from such Third Party Claim (or the Significant Shareholder otherwise agrees in writing to be responsible for satisfying any such liabilities, to the extent the Remaining Holdback Amount (or, if applicable, the then-remaining Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account) shall be insufficient for such purpose, and demonstrates her ability to so satisfy such liabilities in excess of the Remaining Holdback Amount or such Escrow Funds, as applicable). In the event that the Holders’ Agent assumes control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Holders’ Agent shall keep Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnified Person (if such Purchaser Indemnified Person is not Purchaser) informed of all material events and developments, including promptly providing copies of any correspondence and court filings, with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(ii) If the Holders’ Agent assumes and controls the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.2(d)(i) and satisfies the applicable requirements for his control of such defense described in Section 9.2(d)(i), the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Person (i) shall be permitted to participate in the defense thereof and to employ separate counsel of its choice (not reasonably objected to by the Holders’ Agent) for such purpose, at its own expense (except as otherwise provided in the next sentence), and (ii) shall have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge, with respect to such Third Party Claim at any time, subject to the prior written consent of the Holders’ Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, it being understood that such consent shall not be withheld or delayed if, in the event of the occurrence of such consent or the entry of such judgment, settlement, compromise or discharge, (x) such consent, settlement, compromise or discharge includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff in such Third Party Claim to the Significant Shareholder of a release from all liability in respect to such Third Party Claim and (y) the Significant Shareholder is released by the Purchaser Indemnified Person from her indemnification obligations under this Section 9 with respect to such Third Party Claim. To the extent that the Significant Shareholder is liable hereunder to the Purchaser Indemnified Person with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Significant Shareholder shall be liable for the fees and expenses of separate counsel employed by Purchaser Indemnified Person if (i) the Holders’ Agent assumes and controls the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.2(d)(i) and satisfies the applicable requirements for his control of such defense described in Section 9.2(d)(i), and (ii) in the Purchaser Indemnified Person’s good faith judgment, it is advisable, based on the advice of counsel, for the Purchaser Indemnified Person to be represented by separate counsel because of a conflict or potential conflict between Holders’ Agent or the Significant Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Purchaser Indemnified Person, on the other hand.

(iii) If (x) the Holders’ Agent does not assume and control the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.2(d)(i) or does not satisfy the applicable requirements for his control of such defense described in Section 9.2(d)(i) and (y) the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Person assumes the defense thereof, (i) the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Person will not consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge, with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Holders’ Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, it being understood that such consent shall not be withheld or delayed if (AA) such judgment, settlement, compromise or discharge includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff in such Third Party Claim to the Significant Shareholder of a release from all liability in respect to such Third Party Claim and (BB) the Significant Shareholder is released by the Purchaser Indemnified Person from her indemnification obligations under this Section 9 with respect to such Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Significant Shareholder shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Person under this Section 9 in the circumstances referred to in clauses (x) and (y) above for any judgment, settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim made by the Purchaser Indemnified Person not made in accordance with clause (i) above.

(iv) If the Holders’ Agent does assume and control the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.2(d)(i) and satisfies the applicable requirements for his control of such defense described in Section 9.2(d)(i), the Holders’ Agent shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge, with respect to such Third Party Claim; provided however, that the Holders’ Agent shall obtain the prior written consent of the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, before approving any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim, or entering into any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim, if (i) pursuant to, or as a result of, such judgment, settlement or compromise, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Purchaser Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates, (ii) such judgment, settlement or compromise does not include an unconditional release of the Purchaser Indemnified Person from all liabilities with respect to such Third Party Claim, (iii) such judgment, settlement, compromise or discharge contains or involves an admission or statement providing for or acknowledging any criminal wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates, or (iv) the Remaining Holdback Amount (or, if applicable, the then-remaining Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account) shall be insufficient to satisfy any liabilities resulting from such judgment, settlement, compromise or discharge (unless the Significant Shareholder has agreed in writing to be responsible for satisfying any such liabilities, to the extent the Remaining Holdback Amount (or, if applicable, the then-remaining Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account) shall be insufficient for such purpose, and has demonstrated her ability to so satisfy such liabilities).

(e) Subrogation. To the extent that a Purchaser Indemnified Person receives an indemnification payment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including an indirect indemnification payment by virtue of a direct payment to a Taxing Authority from the Escrow Fund or by the Significant Shareholder with respect to a Covered Tax Matter), the Holders’ Agent shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that the Purchaser Indemnified Person may have against any other Person with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, to the extent of the amount of such payment.

9.3 Holders’ Agent.

10.2 Company Disclosure Schedule. The Company Disclosure Schedule will be arranged to correspond to the representations and warranties in Section 3 of this Agreement, and the disclosure in any portion of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the corresponding numbered provision in Section 3 and any other provision of Section 3 to which it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure relates.

10.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more 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.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Nonassignability; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments delivered pursuant hereto, including the exhibits hereto, the Company Disclosure Schedule and the other schedules hereto: (a) together constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and shall survive any termination of this Agreement; (b) are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except as provided in Section 9 or in the final sentence of this Section 10.4; and (c) shall not be assigned by Purchaser or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or by Company or the Significant Shareholder, on the other hand (by operation of law or otherwise), without the written consent of each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that such consent shall not be necessary for (1) an assignment by Purchaser or Merger Sub of their rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of Purchaser so long as such assignment does not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, or (2) any collateral assignment by Purchaser or Merger Sub of their rights and obligations hereunder to any lender under credit and collateral agreements or any other source of debt financing under note purchase agreements, indentures or other similar agreements, in each case as such agreements may be amended, modified or replaced from time to time.

10.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof becomes, or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be illegal, void or unenforceable, will not be impaired or otherwise affected and will continue in full force and effect and be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10.6 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2, Section 9.2(c), Section 10.10 or elsewhere herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia applicable to parties residing in the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to applicable principles of conflicts of law. Except to the extent expressly set forth in Sections 2.13(b), 2.13(c) and 2.13(d), each of the parties irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts located Fairfax County, Virginia and the federal courts located in the City of Alexandria, Virginia, in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and agrees that process may be served upon it in any manner authorized by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which it might otherwise have to such jurisdiction and such process. Each of the Purchaser, Merger Sub, Company, Surviving Corporation, Holders’ Agent, and each Former Shareholder, including the Significant Shareholder, irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to trial by jury in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.8 Consent to Representation. Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Holders’ Agent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation (collectively, the “Consenting Parties”) acknowledge that at all times relevant hereto up to the Effective Time, Cooley has represented only the Company. If subsequent to the Closing any dispute were to arise relating in any manner to this Agreement or any other agreement between the Shareholders’ Representative or any Company Holder, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand (“Disputes”), Purchaser hereby consents to Xxxxxx’x representation of the Holders’ Agent and/or such Company Holder(s) in the Disputes. Purchaser acknowledge that Xxxxxx has been and will be providing legal advice to the Company in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Additional Agreements and in such capacity will have obtained confidential information of the Company (the “Company Confidential Information”). The Company Confidential Information includes all communications, whether written or electronic, including any communications between Xxxxxx, the directors, officers, stockholders, accounting firm, and/or employees of the Company, all files, attorney notes, drafts or other documents directly relating to this Agreement or any Additional Agreement, which predate the Effective Time. In any Dispute, to the extent that any Company Confidential Information is in Xxxxxx’x possession at the Effective Time, such Company Confidential Information may be used on behalf of the Holders’ Agent in connection with such Dispute at the sole discretion of the Holders’ Agent. Except as expressly set forth above, this Section 10.8 shall not grant any rights to the Holders’ Agent with respect to the Company Confidential Information except as described herein.

101

10.9 Rules of Construction.

(a) The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders.

(c) As used in this Agreement, (i) the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” and (ii) the words “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” and “hereto” shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any specific section of this Agreement.

(d) Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Schedules” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement or of the Company Disclosure Schedule and to the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement.

10.10 Enforcement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the covenants of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the covenants of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the covenants of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.10, prior to the Closing, each of the parties hereto (other than the Purchaser and Merger Sub) acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or seek any other equitable remedy in connection with this Agreement (other than solely with respect to the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement) and Section 8.2 of this Agreement.

10.11 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Purchaser and the Holders’ Agent (on behalf of the Company and the Company Holders). Any waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and must be duly executed by or on behalf of the party to be charged with such waiver. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the failure of a party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition hereof on any one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at a later date. Further, no waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other term of condition hereof (whether or not similar).
