1.5 Determination of Purchase Price; Initial Adjustment.

(a) On or before a date not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Buyer (i) an estimated balance sheet as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a good faith estimate of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), calculated in a manner consistent with Schedule 1.5. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications and estimation methodologies, as were used in the preparation of the Most Recent Financial Statements, to the extent applicable, and will not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) On the Closing Date, if the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, the Buyer shall reduce the Purchase Price and the Closing Cash Payment by the dollar amount of the shortfall (the “Estimated Working Capital Deficiency”).

1.6 Closing Balance Sheet; Dispute Resolution; Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within the sixty (60) day period following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholder a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a working capital statement (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”). The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement each will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications and estimation methodologies, as were used in the preparation of the Most Recent Financial Statements, to the extent applicable, and will not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby. In connection with the review of the Closing Balance Sheet, Buyer shall provide to the Shareholder reasonable access to all relevant books and records and personnel of the Company.

(b) If the Shareholder disagrees with the determination of the Closing Working Capital as shown on the Closing Working Capital Statement, the Shareholder shall notify the Buyer in writing of such disagreement within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Closing Working Capital Statement to the Shareholder, which notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identify the specific items involved and the dollar amount of each such disagreement, and provide reasonable supporting documentation for each such disagreement. After the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period, neither Buyer nor the Shareholder may introduce additional disagreements with respect to any item in the Closing Working Capital Statement or increase the dollar amount of any disagreement, and any item not so identified shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Shareholder and will be final and binding upon the Parties except to the extent that corollary adjustments thereto are necessarily required as a result of resolution of the disputed items that were so identified.

(c) Buyer and the Shareholder shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement. If Buyer and the Shareholder are unable to resolve all disagreements properly identified by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 1.6(b) within fifteen (15) calendar days after delivery to Buyer of written notice of such disagreements, then such disagreements shall be submitted for final and binding resolution to a Neutral Accounting Firm to resolve such disagreements (the “Accounting Arbitrator”). The Accounting Arbitrator shall be a Neutral Accounting Firm selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and the Shareholder; provided, that (i) if, within twenty (20) calendar days after the Shareholder has delivered its notice of disagreement to the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.6(b), the Parties are unable to agree on a Neutral Accounting Firm to act as Accounting Arbitrator, each Party shall select a Neutral Accounting Firm and such firms together shall select the Neutral Accounting Firm to act as the Accounting Arbitrator, and (ii) if any Party does not select a Neutral Accounting Firm within two (2) calendar days of written demand therefor by the other Party, the Neutral Accounting Firm selected by the other Party shall act as the Accounting Arbitrator. Each of Buyer and the Shareholder may present a supporting brief to the Accounting Arbitrator (in which case the presenting Party shall provide a copy thereof to the other Party) within ten (10) days following the appointment of the Accounting Arbitrator. Within ten (10) days of receipt of a supporting brief, the receiving Party may present a responsive brief to the Accounting Arbitrator (in which case it shall provide a copy thereof to the other Party). Each of Buyer and the Shareholder may make an oral presentation to the Accounting Arbitrator (in which case it shall provide prompt prior notice of such presentation to the other Party) within twenty (20) days of appointment of the Accounting Arbitrator. The Accounting Arbitrator will only consider such briefs and presentations and those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement as to which Buyer and the Shareholder have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified in this Section 1.6 and shall not conduct an independent review. The Accounting Arbitrator shall deliver to Buyer and the Shareholder, as promptly as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days after such Accounting Arbitrator’s appointment, a written report setting forth the resolution of any such disagreement determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Accounting Arbitrator shall make its determination based solely on presentations and supporting material provided by the Parties and not pursuant to any independent review. The determination of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be final and binding. The fees, expenses and costs of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Buyer and the Shareholder; provided that if the difference between the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination of the disputed items and the determination of the disputed items that would have resulted from the use of the proposed calculations of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Shareholder, on the other hand (the “Erroneous Party”), is more than twice as great as the difference between the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination of the disputed items and the determination of the disputed items that would have resulted from the use of the other Party’s proposed calculations, the Erroneous Party shall pay all fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 1.6, “Adjusted Target Working Capital” shall be the lesser of the Target Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Working Capital. If the Closing Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.6 is less than the Adjusted Target Working Capital, then, within fifteen (15) days following the final determination of the Closing Working Capital, the Shareholder shall pay to Buyer an amount in cash equal to such deficiency. If the Closing Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.6 is more than the Adjusted Target Working Capital, then, within fifteen (15) days following such final determination, Buyer shall pay to the Shareholder an amount in cash equal such excess.

1.7 Earn-Out Consideration. Certain capitalized terms used in this Section 1.7 are defined in Section 1.7(d) below.

(a) The Shareholder shall be entitled, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to receive as additional cash consideration for the transfer of the Shares, additional cash payments (the “Earn-Out Consideration”) based on the Annual Revenue of the Buyer during each of the three consecutive twelve-month periods following the Closing Date (each, an “Earn-Out Period” and the entire period from the Closing Date to the end of the final Earn-Out Period, the “Earn-Out Term”), as follows:

(i) If the Annual Revenue for each of the first two Earn-Out Periods exceeds the Minimum Revenue for such Earn-Out Period, then (A) for the First Earn-Out Period, the Shareholder shall be entitled to be paid one dollar for each dollar of Annual Revenue achieved for such Earn-Out Period in excess of the Minimum Revenue for such Earn-Out Period up to Annual Revenue of seven million five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000) (i.e. such payment shall not exceed the Maximum Status Quo Payment for such Earn-Out Period), and (B) for the Second Earn-Out Period, the Shareholder shall be entitled to be paid the Maximum Status Quo Payment for such Earn-Out Period, in each case together with interest on such payment at the rate of five percent (5%) for the period from the Closing Date until such payment is made (such payments described in this Section 1.7(a)(i) collectively being the “Status Quo Payments” and each individually being a “Status Quo Payment”).

(ii) In addition to the foregoing, the Shareholder shall receive the Earn-Out Payment (as defined and calculated below) for each Earn-Out Period. In the event that the Percentage Growth Achieved for the Third Earn-Out Period is less than one hundred percent (100%), then the Unearned Earn-Out for the Third Earn-Out Period shall be forfeited, and Buyer shall have no further obligation to pay such amount to the Shareholder. Example calculations of the Earn-Out Payments for the three Earn-Out Periods are set forth on Schedule 1.7(a)(ii).

(b) Annual Revenue and the resulting Status Quo Payment (as applicable) and Earn-Out Payment for each Earn-Out Period shall be determined, and Status Quo Payments and Earn-Out Payments shall be paid, as follows:

(i) Within thirty (30) days following the end of each Earn-Out Period, Buyer will deliver to the Shareholder a statement in writing setting forth Buyer’s determination of the Annual Revenue for such Earn-Out Period, and a calculation of the resulting Status Quo Payment (as applicable) and Earn-Out Payment to be made by Buyer for such Earn-Out Period (each such statement, a “Buyer Earn-Out Statement”).

(ii) The Shareholder shall have a period of up to thirty (30) days following the Shareholder’s receipt of a Buyer Earn-Out Statement to review Buyer’s calculation of Annual Revenue and the resulting Status Quo Payment (as applicable) and Earn-Out Payment. In connection with the review of the Buyer Earn-Out Statement, Buyer shall provide to the Shareholder reasonable access to all relevant books and records and personnel of

the Company. If, as a result of such review, the Shareholder disagrees with Buyer’s calculations, the Shareholder shall deliver to Buyer a written notice of disagreement (a “Dispute Notice”) prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day review period setting forth the basis for such dispute. Upon Buyer’s receipt of a Dispute Notice, Buyer and the Shareholder agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute set forth in the Dispute Notice. If Buyer and the Shareholder have not resolved the dispute within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Dispute Notice (or such longer period of time as Buyer and the Shareholder may mutually agree), then Buyer and the Shareholder agree to finally resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 1.7(b)(iii) below.

(iii) If Buyer and the Shareholder cannot reach agreement as described in Section 1.7(b)(ii) above, then the dispute shall be promptly referred to an Accounting Arbitrator, who shall be selected in accordance with the same process described in Section 1.6(c), for binding resolution. The Accounting Arbitrator shall determine the applicable Status Quo Payment (as applicable) and Earn-Out Payment owed at such time, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as promptly as may be reasonably practicable and shall endeavor to complete such process within a period of no more than sixty (60) days. The determination of the Accounting Arbitrator, absent manifest error, shall be final and binding on Buyer and the Shareholder, effective as of the date the Accounting Arbitrator’s written opinion is received by Buyer and the Shareholder. Buyer and the Shareholder shall each pay their own respective costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing dispute resolution process, but Buyer and the Shareholder shall share equally the costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator; provided that if there is an Erroneous Party as described in Section 1.6(c) with respect to the disputed items at issue, then the Erroneous Party shall pay all fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator.

(iv) In the event that the parties agree (based on the calculations set forth in the Buyer Earn-Out Statement and the Dispute Notice for the First Earn-Out Period or the Second Earn-Out Period) that Buyer has achieved the Minimum Revenue for such Earn-Out Period, then Buyer shall pay to the Shareholder the relevant Status Quo Payment within ten (10) Business Days following the Shareholder’s delivery of the relevant Dispute Notice. Prior to the date that is the later of (A) ten (10) days following the final determination of the Status Quo Payment (as applicable) and Earn-Out Payment in accordance with this Section 1.7(b) (whether by failure of the Shareholder to deliver a Dispute Notice within the required time period, by agreement of the parties, or by receipt of an opinion of the Accounting Arbitrator), and (B) two (2) months following the end of the relevant Earn-Out Period, Buyer shall pay to the Shareholder an amount in cash equal to the Status Quo Payment (as applicable, and if not already paid pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.7(b)(iv)) plus the Earn-Out Payment, each as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.7(b).

(c) The calculation of Earn-Out Consideration set forth above assumes that the Shareholder remains employed by the Company during the entire Earn-Out Term. Otherwise, the following adjustments shall be made to the calculation of Earn-Out Consideration:

(i) In the event that the Shareholder voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company or Buyer, or Shareholder is terminated for Cause (as defined in Shareholder’s employment agreement with the Company and Buyer), or in the event of the Shareholder’s death or disability, during any Earn-Out Period, then:

(A) the Shareholder shall not be entitled to any Earn-Out Payments for any subsequent Earn-Out Period; and

(B) the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Period shall be adjusted as follows: (1) Unearned Earn-Out for any previous Earn-Out Period shall not be included in the calculation of the Maximum Payment for such Earn-Out Period; (2) the Annual Revenue for such Earn-Out Period (the “Annualized Revenue”) shall equal (a) the Annual Revenue for such Earn-Out Period through the month during which the Shareholder’s employment is terminated as described above (such number of months, the “Elapsed Months”), divided by (b) the number of Elapsed Months, multiplied by (c) twelve (12); (3) the Percentage Growth Achieved for such Earn-Out Period shall be determined by replacing Annual Revenue in the definition of Actual Revenue Growth with Annualized Revenue; and (4) the Maximum Payment for such Earn-Out Period shall equal the Maximum Payment that would otherwise have been applicable, divided by twelve (12), and multiplied by the number of Elapsed Months.

(ii) In the event that the Shareholder is terminated by the Company or Buyer after the Closing without Cause or the Shareholder terminates his employment for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in Shareholder’s employment agreement with the Company and Buyer) during any Earn-Out Period, then the Shareholder shall be entitled to receive the Maximum Payment for such Earn-Out Period and any subsequent Earn-Out Period(s), provided that no Unearned Earn-Outs relating to any previous Earn-Out Period(s) shall be included in the calculation of such Maximum Payment(s).

(iii) In the event that the Shareholder’s employment by the Company or Buyer is terminated after the Closing before the expiration of the First Earn-Out Period and/or the Second Earn-Out Period for any reason, then the Shareholder shall still be entitled to receive the Status Quo Payment to which he would otherwise have been entitled (at the same time at which he would have otherwise been entitled to such payment, and not, for purposes of clarification, at the time of such termination) based on the Annual Revenue for the relevant time periods.

(d) For purposes of calculating the Earn-Out Consideration, and subject to the terms of Section 1.7(c), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Actual Revenue Growth” means:

(A) for the First Earn-Out Period, Annual Revenue for such Earn-Out Period less Prior Year Revenue;

There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened, that questions the legality or propriety of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.5 Investment Intention. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring the Shares.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties of Company and the Shareholder contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules hereto or in any other Transaction Document or schedules thereto, (i) none of the Shareholder or Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons, agents, advisors or representatives, makes or shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, and (ii) none of the Shareholder or Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons, agents, advisors or representatives, makes, or shall be deemed to have made, any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information or documents, financial or otherwise (including, without limitation, any estimates, projections, forecasts, budgets or other forward-looking information) provided or otherwise made available to Buyer or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons, agents, advisors or representatives (including, without limitation, in any management presentations, information or offering memorandum, supplemental information or other materials or information with respect to any of the above). With respect to any such estimate, projection, budget or forecast delivered by or on behalf of Company or any Shareholder to Buyer, Buyer acknowledges that

(i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, budgets and forecasts, (ii) Buyer is aware that actual results may differ materially and (iii) Buyer shall have no claim against Company or Shareholder with respect to any such estimate, projection, budget or forecast; provided, that such estimate, projection, budget or forecast was prepared and furnished in good faith.

No subsidiary of Buyer is required to file any form, report, registration statement, prospectus or other document with the SEC. To the knowledge of Buyer, the Buyer SEC Documents, including any financial statements or schedules included in the Buyer SEC Documents, at the time filed (and, in the case of registration statements and proxy statements, on the dates of effectiveness and the dates of mailing, respectively and, in the case of any Buyer SEC Document amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such amending or superseding filing): (a) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (b) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as the case may be. The financial statements of Buyer (including the related notes) included in the Buyer SEC Documents at the time filed (and, in the case of registration statements and proxy statements, on the dates of effectiveness and the dates of mailing, respectively, and, in the case of any Buyer SEC Document amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such amending or superseding filing) complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q or Form 10-QSB of the SEC), and fairly present (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, recurring audit adjustments not material in amount and giving effect to amendments of Buyer SEC Documents) in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Buyer and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.

5.7 Exclusivity. The Shareholder shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, consultants and other agents to, directly or indirectly, take any action to solicit, initiate, encourage or facilitate the making or submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the acquisition of all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of the Company (including any acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation or share exchange). The Shareholder shall not vote his Shares in favor of any such transaction, except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Shareholder agrees not to (a) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the transfer by him of any of the Shares or offer any interest in any thereof to any Person other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) enter into any voting arrangement

ARTICLE 6
AGREEMENTS REGARDING EMPLOYEES

6.1 Continuation of Employment.

(a) Buyer shall cause the Company or Buyer to continue to employ after the Closing Date all employees of the Company actively employed on the Closing Date (all such employees, the “Business Employees”) at the same location where each such employee was employed immediately prior to the Closing Date on at least the same wage rates or cash salary levels, and on such other terms and conditions that are not less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer. The foregoing sentence shall not restrict the Company’s or Buyer’s ability to terminate any employee with or without cause. Buyer and its Affiliates shall, for the benefit of the Business Employees, provide credit for all years of service provided prior to the Closing Date for all purposes under all compensation and benefit plans, programs and policies maintained by Buyer and/or its Affiliates for the benefit of such employees after the Closing Date to the extent such credit was given under corresponding Benefit Plans as in existence immediately prior to the Closing Date. With respect to Benefit Plans provided by the Company that Buyer will not continue, Buyer and Shareholder shall develop, prior to Closing, an alternative approach to compensation of Company employees in light of such plans not being continued.

(b) Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, but contingent upon the Closing, the Company shall terminate any and all Employee Benefit Plans (other than the Company’s health insurance plan with Blue Cross Blue Shield) (the “Terminated Employee Benefit Plans”) and the Xxxxxxxx Agreement. The Company shall provide Buyer with evidence that such Terminated Employee Benefit Plans and the Xxxxxxxx Agreement have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) in accordance with their respective terms. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Terminated Employee Benefit Plans as Buyer may reasonably require. Buyer shall bear all costs associated with terminating the Terminated Employee Benefit Plans. Shareholder shall bear all costs that may be associated with the Xxxxxxxx Agreement (for termination or otherwise) and any benefits provided pursuant thereto or any insurance policies maintained in connection therewith to the extent that such costs were not included as liabilities in the calculation of Closing Working Capital.

6.2 Stock Options; Non-Compete Payments.

(a) Buyer has set aside a pool of 30,000 Stock Options to be divided up amongst the Tier 1 Key Employees, and 20,000 Stock Options to be divided up amongst the Tier 2 Key Employees, each in the amounts and to the Key Employees designated by the

Shareholder and the SVP of Program Services. In the discretion of the Shareholder and the SVP of Program Services, up to 10,000 of such Stock Options may be allocated to certain other employees of the Company instead of to the Key Employees. Such Stock Options will be granted to the Key Employees in connection with and as consideration for their execution of the Key Employee Agreements and shall be subject to vesting in accordance with the terms set forth on Schedule 6.2(a) and the Key Employee Agreements.

(b) Buyer has set aside a pool of $600,000 to be divided up amongst the Tier 1 Key Employees, and $300,000 to be divided up amongst the Tier 2 Key Employees, each in the amounts and to the Key Employees designated by the Shareholder and the SVP of Program Services (such payments, the “Non-Compete Payments”).

(c) Prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholder and Buyer shall mutually determine the allocation of the Stock Options and Non-Compete Payments amongst the Key Employees (or, with respect to the Stock Options, other of the Business Employees). The grant of Stock Options and the payment of any Non-Compete Payment to any Key Employee shall be reflected in such Key Employee’s Key Employee Agreement entered into with Buyer or the Company at the Closing, together with the terms and conditions of vesting of such Stock Options and the payment of such Non-Compete Payments. The parties shall deliver a Schedule 6.2(c) hereto reflecting such allocation.

6.3 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing herein is intended to, and shall not be construed to, create any third party beneficiary rights of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, the right of any Business Employee or other individual to seek to enforce any right to compensation, benefits, or any other right or privilege of employment with Company or Buyer.

ARTICLE 7
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

7.1 Tax Covenants.

(a) Pre-Closing Covenant. During the period from the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not make or change any election in respect of Taxes, adopt or request permission of any Tax authority to change any accounting method in respect of Taxes, enter into any closing agreement in respect of Tax obligations of the Company, settle any claim or assessment in respect of Tax obligations of the Company, surrender or allow to expire any right to claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any claim or assessment in respect of Tax obligations of the Company, or take (or permit any Subsidiary to take) any such actions with respect to any Subsidiary.

(b) Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Buyer and the Shareholder shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, including any Tax Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually

convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at any proceeding. The Shareholder and the Buyer agree, and the Buyer agrees to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries, to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer or the Shareholder, any extensions thereof) for the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority. The Buyer and the Shareholder further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on the Company or any Subsidiary (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(c) Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Shareholder and the Buyer shall jointly make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any comparable provision of applicable state or local income Tax law) with respect to the purchase of the stock of the Company and the parties shall cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate (including filing such forms, Tax Returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required) to effect and preserve a timely election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state or local tax law) (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). The parties shall prepare and timely file an Internal Revenue Service Form 8023 (and/or any successor form, and any forms or schedules similar to Form 8023 that are required to make the Section 338(h)(10) Election effective under provisions of applicable state or local law), along with any required attachments thereto, and the parties shall take no position inconsistent with such forms.

(d) Purchase Price Allocation. Buyer shall prepare a proposed purchase price allocation schedule (the “Proposed Allocation Schedule”) allocating the gross purchase price, as determined for federal income tax purposes, among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 338 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the principles set forth on Schedule 7.1(d). Buyer shall deliver the Proposed Allocation Schedule to the Shareholder within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. If, within ten (10) days after receiving Buyer’s Proposed Allocation Schedule, the Shareholder notifies Buyer that the Shareholder disputes any item(s) reflected on the Proposed Allocation Schedule, Buyer and the Shareholder shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any dispute. Should the parties fail to reach an agreement within thirty (30) days after the Shareholder notifies Buyer that the Shareholder disputes any item(s) reflected on Buyer’s Proposed Allocation Schedule, the determination of the disputed item or items shall be made by a mutually agreed upon and jointly engaged public accounting firm of national reputation, whose decision shall be final. The Proposed Allocation Schedule, as revised (if necessary) to reflect the resolution of any dispute in accordance with this Section 7.1(d), shall represent the Buyer’s and the Shareholder’s final agreement regarding the allocation of the gross purchase price among the assets of the Company (the “Final Allocation Schedule”); provided, that if the Shareholder does not notify Buyer that he disputes any item(s) on Buyer’s Proposed Allocation Schedule within ten (10) days after receiving Buyer’s Proposed Allocation Schedule, Buyer’s Proposed Allocation Schedule shall be the Final Allocation Schedule. The Buyer and the Shareholder further agree that they will prepare and timely file Form 8883 (and/or any successor forms, and any forms or schedules

similar to Form 8883 that are required to be filed in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Election under provisions of applicable state or local law) in a manner reflecting such allocation, and each party will cooperate with the other party in connection with such preparation and filing. The Shareholder and Buyer shall inform each other promptly of any challenge by any Tax authority to the Form 8883 (or such other form(s)) or the allocation set forth on the Final Allocation Schedule. The Final Allocation Schedule shall be modified as appropriate in accordance with this Section 7.1(d) to reflect any adjustments in the Purchase Price made following the Closing in accordance with this Agreement, including adjustments made pursuant to Sections 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 10.8. The Shareholder and Buyer agree not to take any Tax position that is inconsistent with the Form 8883 or the Final Allocation Schedule (unless required to do so under applicable law).

7.2 Tax Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Shareholder shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against: (i) all liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (ii) all Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including all such Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries under Massachusetts General Laws chapter 63, section 32D; (iii) all Transfer Taxes; and (iv) without duplication of Section 10.2, any and all Losses arising out of, resulting from or incident to any breach by the Shareholder or the Company of any representation or covenant contained in Sections 3.8, 7.1 or this 7.2.

(b) In the case of any Straddle Period:

(i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes and any other Taxes levied on a per diem basis (“Per Diem Taxes”) of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Per Diem Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the Closing Date) and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period; and

(ii) the Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Per Diem Taxes) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such Tax Period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(c) The Shareholder’s indemnity obligations in respect of Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, as determined pursuant to Section 7.2(a), shall initially be effected by the Shareholder’s payment to Buyer of the excess of (i) any such Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (as indicated by written notice from Buyer to the Shareholder) over (ii) (A) the amount of such Taxes with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries paid by the Shareholder at any time plus (B) the amount of such Taxes paid or reserved for by the Company and its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing Date. Such excess shall be paid to Buyer in accordance with Section 10.7 within ten (10) days after written demand therefor is made by Buyer (but not earlier than five (5) days before the date on which the Taxes for the relevant Tax Period are required to be paid to the relevant Tax authority). In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2(d), payment of the Tax to the appropriate Tax authority shall not be considered to be due earlier than the date a final determination to such effect is made by the appropriate Tax authority or court unless payment of the Tax is required as a condition to such contest.

(d) If a claim shall be made by any Tax authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.2, the Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly and in any event no more than twenty (20) days following the Buyer Indemnitee’s receipt of such claim, give written notice to the Shareholder of such claim; provided, however, the failure of the Buyer Indemnitee to give such notices shall only relieve the Shareholder from his indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent he is actually prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Tax Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholder shall, upon his written confirmation of his obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees in full with respect to such Tax Claim, control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) at his own expense; provided, however, that if the resolution of any portion of a Tax Claim would increase the Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Tax Period after the Closing Date, the Shareholder shall give written notice to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall be entitled to control the proceedings taken in connection with such portion of such Tax Claim. The Buyer shall control at its own expense all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period and in connection with any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Tax Period beginning after the Closing Date. A party shall promptly notify the other party if it decides not to control the defense or settlement of any Tax Claim for a Tax Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date which it is entitled to control pursuant to this Agreement, and the other party shall thereupon be permitted to defend and settle such proceeding without prejudice. No Tax Claim for which the Shareholder is obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees and in which the Buyer is entitled to control all proceedings may be settled without the written consent of the Shareholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Buyer, the Shareholder, the Company and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with each other in contesting any Tax Claim in accordance with Section 7.1(b). The parties shall satisfy their indemnity obligations pursuant to this Section 7.2(d) within 10 days after a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or analogous provisions of state, local or foreign Tax law) of the relevant Tax is made.

(e) The Buyer covenants that it will not and will not cause or permit the Company or any Affiliate of the Buyer to (i) take any action on or after the Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business, which would result in any tax liability to the Shareholders, or (ii) make any election or deemed election on or after the Closing Date or amend any Tax Return of the Company on or after the Closing Date for the period prior to the Closing Date.

7.3 Non-Competition.

(a) The Shareholder agrees and acknowledges that it is necessary that the Shareholder undertake not to utilize his special knowledge of the Business and his relationship with customers, suppliers and employees to compete with the Business. The Shareholder further agrees and acknowledges that: (i) upon the Closing, Buyer will be actively engaged in the Business throughout the United States, Great Britain and Canada (the

“Territory”); (ii) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.3 are essential to protect Buyer, including protecting the goodwill of the Business; (iii) Buyer would be irreparably damaged if the Shareholder were to breach the provisions contained in this Section 7.3; (iv) the consideration received by the Shareholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is sufficient and the Shareholder has the means to support such Person and such Person’s dependents other than by engaging in the Business, and the provisions of this Section 7.3 will not impair such ability; (v) the Shareholder’s ownership of the Shares has provided the Shareholder with trade secrets of, and confidential information concerning, the Company; and (vi) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.3 are a material inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement and Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement and would not have agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby but for the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.3. Accordingly, the Shareholder covenants and agrees to comply with the Shareholder’s obligations hereunder.

(b) As an inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Shareholder hereby agrees that, for a period commencing on the date of the Closing and ending on the later of the date that is three (3) years following the Closing Date and the date that is one (1) year following Shareholder’s termination as an employee of the Buyer or the Company for any reason, so long as Buyer, or any Person deriving title to the goodwill or ownership interest from Buyer, carries on a like business therein (“Restricted Period”), the Shareholder will not:

(i) directly or indirectly, as an agent, employee, consultant, distributor, representative, stockholder, manager, partner or in any other capacity, own (other than through the passive ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the publicly traded shares of any Person), operate, manage, control, engage in, invest in (other than through the passive ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the publicly traded shares of any Person) or participate in any manner in, act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association with any Person), or otherwise assist any Person that directly or indirectly engages in or owns, operates, manages or controls any venture or enterprise that engages anywhere in the Territory in the Business;

(ii) directly or indirectly, for Shareholder’s own account, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee, consultant, partner, proprietor, broker or otherwise, whether in a paid or unpaid position, solicit or attempt to solicit for employment any employee of Buyer who was an employee of the Company on the date of the Closing or who was an employee of the Company at any time during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Closing; or

(iii) directly or indirectly, for the Shareholder’s own account, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee, consultant, partner, proprietor, broker or otherwise, whether in a paid or unpaid position, (a) solicit or attempt to solicit business from any Clients or Customers (as defined below), provided, however, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the solicitation of business or services which are not in any way engaged in the Business; (b) suggest, refer or recommend that any Clients or Customers terminate, cancel or withdraw any proposed or pending job, bid or order; (c) suggest, refer or recommend that any Clients or Customers patronize any other business in direct or indirect competition with the Business; or (d) interfere in any other way with the prospective relationship between the Buyer

and any Clients or Customers. For purposes hereof, the term “Clients or Customers” shall be defined as those individuals, entities or businesses to which the Company had provided services within the one (1) year period immediately preceding the date of the Closing or to which the Company had submitted a bid or proposal within said one (1) year period.

(c) The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 7.3 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Business, that the remedies at law for damages on account of any breach of the provisions of this Section 7.3 will be inadequate and that such damages are not readily ascertainable or susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. The Shareholder accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder’s Affiliates or any of their respective successors and assigns of any of the provisions contained in this Section 7.3, Buyer shall be entitled to seek such injunctive and other equitable relief, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages and without posting any bond or other security, as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages which it is able to prove.

(d) The Shareholder and Buyer agree that, if any term or provision of Section 7.3 is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as written because such provision covers too extensive a Territory, too broad a range of activities, too long a period of time or otherwise, then such provision shall automatically be modified to cover the maximum Territory, range of activities, and period of time as permissible by applicable Law under the circumstances, and, in addition, a court is hereby expressly authorized to so modify this Agreement and to enforce it as so modified. No invalidity or enforceability of any section of this Agreement or any portion thereof shall affect the validity or enforceability of any other section or the remainder of such section, or any revision or modification to such section as contemplated by this Section 7.3.

(e) If Shareholder violates any provision of this Section 7.3 and Buyer brings legal action for injunctive relief, Buyer shall not, as a result of the breach by Shareholder or the time involved in obtaining the relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full time period specified in this Section 7.3. Accordingly, Section 7.3 shall be deemed to have the duration specified above, computed from the date the relief is granted, but not to include any period of time during which Shareholder is in violation of this Section 7.3.

7.4 Confidentiality.

(a) If the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Shareholder agrees not to disclose or use at any time (and to cause each of the Shareholder’s Affiliates not to use or disclose at any time) any confidential or proprietary information of the Company, except (i) in connection with the performance of the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) to the extent permitted by paragraph (b) below. Subject to the foregoing exceptions, the Shareholder further agrees to take all commercially reasonable steps (and to cause each of the Shareholder’s Affiliates to take all commercially reasonable steps) to safeguard such information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft.

Nothing in this Section 7.4(b) shall prohibit a Party from (i) initiating any action or other proceeding relating to a dispute or from disclosing information concerning a dispute in any action or other proceeding relating to such dispute, or (ii) disclosing information concerning a dispute to its current or potential advisors, direct or indirect equity holders, investors or lenders, provided that such Party informs the recipient of the confidential nature of the information (it being agreed that the disclosing Party will be responsible to the other Parties for any non-permitted disclosure by such recipient).

7.5 Conduct of Business During Earn-Out Term. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the ability of the Company to meet Annual Revenue objectives and the ability of the parties to calculate fairly and measure the performance of the Company relative to revenue objectives will depend to a significant degree upon maintaining the Business as a whole and as a discrete operating unit.

Buyer shall provide the Company’s management team reasonable authority to participate in the management and operation of the Business throughout the Earn-Out Term, including reasonable authority to direct business strategy, pricing, sales and marketing during the Earn-Out Term in a manner consistent with the current plans of the Business. In the event that Buyer makes any change to the operations of the Company after the Closing Date that has a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve Target Revenue Growth during the Earn-Out Term, then the Target Revenue Growth shall be adjusted as agreed upon by the Parties; provided that the Parties agree that Buyer’s operation of the Company as a division and not a subsidiary after the Closing Date shall not in itself be considered a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve Target Revenue Growth.

7.6 Sale or Transfer of Buyer Shares. The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer Shares are restricted from resale, subject to meeting the one-year holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, the Shareholder agrees that he will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of more than half of the Buyer Shares during the first six (6) month period following the lapse of any holding period imposed by applicable Law, and that prior to any sale of Buyer Shares, the Shareholder shall have notified Buyer of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished Buyer with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by Buyer, the Shareholder shall have furnished Buyer with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act.

All covenants and agreements to be performed prior to the Closing Date shall terminate upon the Closing except as expressly provided herein. All covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing Date shall survive for the respective periods set forth herein.

10.2 Indemnification by the Shareholder. After the Closing Date and subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its directors, officers, employees and their successors and assigns (the “Buyer Indemnitees”), payable in accordance with Section 10.7 hereof, from and against any and all Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by any Buyer Indemnitee in connection with, relating to, as a result of or arising from (a) any breach or inaccuracy of any warranty or representation of the Company or the Shareholder, (b) any breach by the Shareholder or the Company of, or failure by the Shareholder or the Company to perform, any of his or its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, (c) the Xxxxxxxx Agreement (whether for payments to be made in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, from termination thereof or otherwise, and notwithstanding any disclosure of such agreement in this Agreement or the Schedules or otherwise) to the extent such Losses were not included as liabilities in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, or (d) any unlicensed use of software by the Company prior to the Closing Date that is disclosed on Schedule 3.11(d) (for royalties, penalties or otherwise, and notwithstanding any disclosure of such use in this Agreement or the Schedules or otherwise); provided, however, that:

(i) The Shareholder shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless under clause (a) of this Section 10.2 with respect to Losses only if the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds an aggregate amount equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) (the “Basket Amount”), and then only in respect of such excess (except with respect to breaches of Sections 2.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.26 and 3.27, for which no basket or cap shall apply; provided, that the aggregate amount required to be paid by the Shareholder under clause (a) of this Section 10.2 shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (A) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), or (B) one third of the cash actually paid by Buyer to the Shareholder (the “Indemnification Cap”) (except with respect to any breach of the representations contained in Section 2.1 (Authorization and Enforceability of the Shareholder) or Section 3.2 (Authorization and Enforceability of the Company) and, provided further, damages paid in the manner set forth in 10.7(B) shall not be treated as applicable to the limit set forth in Clause (B) hereof, or in the event of any breach involving fraud, as to which no Indemnification Cap shall apply); and

After the Closing Date and subject to the limitations set forth herein, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholder, his employees, trustees, beneficiaries and their respective successors and assigns (the “Shareholder Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by the Shareholder Indemnitee in connection with, relating to, as a result of or arising from: (a) any breach or inaccuracy of any warranty or representation of Buyer contained in this Agreement, (b) any breach by Buyer of or failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, and (c) the operations of the Company after Closing.

10.4 Notice of Claims.

(a) Any Shareholder Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give promptly to the Party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) (it being understood, however, that where the Shareholder would otherwise be Indemnified Parties or Indemnitors, all references to such term as used in the procedural provisions of this Section 10.4(a) and in Section 10.4(b) shall instead refer to the Shareholder) a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give the Claim Notice promptly as required by this Section 10.4(a) shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Article 10 except to the extent such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights and obligations of the Indemnitor.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article 10 shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Losses suffered by it. All amounts due to the Indemnified Party as so finally determined shall be paid by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days after such final determination.

10.5 Third Person Claims.

(a) In order for a Person to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third Person against the Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnitor in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the third Person claim promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the third Person claim. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnitor, within five (5) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the third Person claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a Person be physically served with a complaint with regard to a third Person claim, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnitor with a copy of the complaint within five (5) days after receipt thereof and shall deliver to the Indemnitor within five (5) days after the receipt of such complaint copies of notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the third Person claim (or in each case such earlier time as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitor to respond to the court proceedings on a timely basis).

(b) In the event of any claim or initiation of any legal proceeding against the Indemnified Party by a third Person, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnitor to assume the defense of such claim or legal proceeding, at its option and at its own expense, if the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party of its election to assume such defense within thirty (30) calendar days after it receives notice of such claim and the Indemnitor acknowledges without qualification (other than by reference to the limitations in this Article 10) its indemnification obligations provided in this Article 10 with respect to such third Person claim or legal proceeding in writing to the Indemnified Party to control, defend against, negotiate and otherwise deal with any proceeding, claim, or demand which relates to any loss, liability or damage indemnified against hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense unless the named parties in such third Person claim include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised by legal counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor (provided that in such situation, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to employ more than one law firm). The Party controlling the defense of such third Person claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such third Person claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith the recommendations made by the non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. To the extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such proceeding, claim or demand, and the Indemnified Party defends against or otherwise deals with

any such proceeding, claim or demand, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, at the expense of the Indemnitor, and control the defense of such proceeding. If the Indemnitor elects to assume control of the defense of a third Person claim, any fees and expenses of legal counsel employed by the Indemnified Party with respect to such third Person claim shall be considered Losses for which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under this Article 10 only if the named parties in such third Person claim include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Party has been advised by legal counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor (provided that in such situation, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to employ more than one law firm). Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such third Person claim or legal proceeding, which settlement or compromise obligates the other Party to pay money, to perform obligations or to admit liability without the written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the Indemnitor agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or compromise and such settlement or compromise includes a complete written release of the Indemnified Party from further liability and does not impose any injunctive relief or other operational restrictions on the Indemnified Party.

(c) The parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of records and information which is reasonably relevant to such third Person claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(d) After any final Court Order shall have been rendered and the time therefrom in which to appeal has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be indemnifiable by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice.

(e) Sections 10.2 through 10.5 shall not apply to any Tax Claims, which shall instead be subject to the provisions of Section 7.2.

10.6 Additional Provisions

(a) For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses of a Buyer Indemnitee, such amount shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance benefits and proceeds (collectively, “Insurance Benefits”) actually received by Buyer or the Company in respect of the Losses (net of any deductible amounts). Furthermore, in the event any losses, liabilities or damages related to a claim by Buyer are covered by insurance, Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under such insurance; provided that no payment required to be made by Shareholder pursuant to this Article 10 shall be delayed until Buyer seeks such recovery or actually collects insurance benefits. In the event that Buyer recovers Insurance Benefits at any time in respect of Losses for which Shareholder has previously indemnified Buyer pursuant to this Article 10, then Buyer agrees to remit such Insurance Benefits to Shareholder promptly upon its receipt thereof.

(b) In calculating any Losses there shall be deducted any indemnification, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof from any third Person with respect thereto. Any such amounts or benefits received by an Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof with respect to any indemnity claim after it has received an indemnity payment hereunder shall be promptly paid over to the Indemnitor; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to pay over any such amount or benefit in excess of the amount paid by the Indemnitor to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.

(c) Except for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Law, claims of fraud or willful misconduct and injunctive and provisional relief, if the Closing occurs, Section 7.2 and this Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty contained herein or any breach of this Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Closing, Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to notify Shareholder and the Company if it becomes aware of any breach by Shareholder or the Company of their representations and warranties set forth herein; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Shareholder and the Company shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Buyer (including but not limited to by any of its advisors, consultant or representatives) or by reason of the fact that Buyer or any of such advisors, consultants or representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate.

10.7 Payment of Claims. Buyer Indemnitees shall seek payment for any amounts due with respect to all claims for indemnification under Section 10.2 or Section 7.2 as follows: (A) first, the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover the Buyer Shares, which, for purposes of this Section 10.7, shall be valued at fair market value at the time of delivery of the relevant Claim Notice, (B) any remaining amounts shall be deducted by Buyer from any future Earn-Out Payments to which the Shareholder may be entitled, and (C) thereafter, Buyer Indemnitees shall have a claim against the Shareholder for payment in cash.

10.8 Indemnity Payments as Adjustments to Purchase Price. The parties agree that to the greatest extent possible the payment of any indemnity under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE 11
TERMINATION

11.1 Termination. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a) by either the Shareholder or Buyer, by giving written notice to the other Party on or after thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, if any of the conditions set forth in Articles 8 or 9 are not satisfied or waived by such date or have become incapable of fulfillment, unless such satisfaction has been frustrated or made impossible by any act or failure to act by the notifying Party;

(b) by either the Shareholder or Buyer by giving notice to the other Party at any time, if the other Party has breached any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days after notice of such breach or, if cure is not possible within thirty (30) days, if cure has not been commenced and is not being diligently pursued within thirty (30) days after notice of such breach; or

11.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1, no Party shall have any liability or further obligation to any other Party, and no Party shall be entitled to any monetary damages or injunctive relief (including specific performance) as a result of such termination, or any indemnification under Article 10; provided, however, that in no event shall any termination of this Agreement limit or restrict the rights and remedies of any Party against any other Party which has intentionally and willfully breached any of the agreements or other provisions of this Agreement prior to the termination hereof; and provided further, that the provisions of Section 7.4 (Confidentiality) and Article 12 (General Provisions) shall remain in full force and effect.

Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to vary the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” or to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business,

12.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof. The failure of any Party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

12.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel, accountants, advisors and consultants; provided, that the Shareholder shall be liable for all Transaction Expenses incurred by the Company and the Shareholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be performed prior to Closing, and such Transaction Expenses shall be paid by the Company or the Shareholder on or before the Closing Date, and the Closing Working Capital shall be determined assuming payment of all such amounts.

12.8 Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law. In case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

12.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

12.11 References to U.S. Dollars. All references in this Agreement to amounts of money expressed in dollars are references to United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

12.12 Further Assurances. Each Party shall execute such documents and other papers and take such further actions as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby.

12.13 Release. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Shareholder hereby releases and discharges the Company (solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder, director, officer, or employee) from any and all claims, demands and causes of action, whether known or unknown, liquidated or contingent, relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with the dealings of the Company and the Shareholder (solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder, director, officer or employee) from the beginning of time through the Closing, it being understood, however, that such release shall not operate to release the Company or Buyer from indemnity obligations, if any, under Article 10. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Company hereby releases and discharges the Shareholder (solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder, director, officer, or employee) from any and all claims, demands and causes of action, whether known or unknown, liquidated or contingent, relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with the dealings of the Company and the Shareholder (solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder, director, officer or employee) from the beginning of time through the Closing, it being understood, however, that such release shall not operate to release the Shareholder from indemnity obligations, if any, under Article 10. Each of the Shareholder and the Company acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each of the Shareholder and the Company acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, the Shareholder and the Company each agree that, effective as of the Closing, the Shareholder and the Company shall be deemed to waive any such provision (solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder, director or officer and not with respect to employment). Each of the Shareholder and the Company further agrees that the Shareholder and the Company shall not (i) institute a lawsuit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or relating to any of the released claims, (ii) participate, assist, or cooperate in any such proceeding, or (iii) encourage, assist and/or solicit any third party to institute any such proceeding.

12.14 No Rescission. Except in the event of fraud, no Party shall be entitled to rescind the transactions contemplated hereby by virtue of any failure of any Party’s representations and warranties herein to have been true or any failure by any Party to perform its obligations hereunder.
