The aggregate consideration to be paid at Closing will be an amount equal to $2,100,000.00 (the “Enterprise Value”), as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.4 with respect to the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount and the Estimated Closing Cash Adjustment Amount, and such adjusted Enterprise Value, will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the accounts and in the amounts specified by the Sellers’ Representative to the Buyer in a written flow of funds provided not fewer than two Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date (and the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Buyer will be entitled to rely on such specified instructions and allocations and, upon transfer of such funds pursuant to the instructions provided by the Sellers’ Representative, except for any adjustments following the Closing in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8 (and any payments made to the Sellers pursuant to Section 10.2, if applicable), the Buyer will have no further liability for the payment of any portion of the Enterprise Value), as follows: (a) first, to the holders of the Debt of the Company as of the Closing, the aggregate amount necessary to satisfy and extinguish all such Debt; (b) second, to those Persons designated by the Sellers’ Representative, the aggregate amount required to pay and satisfy in full all Transaction Expenses; (c) third, to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Amount for deposit pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; and (d) fourth, after payment of the amounts specified in clause (a) through (c) above, to the holders of the Shares, upon delivery to the Buyer of certificates evidencing the Shares duly endorsed (or accompanied by duly executed stock transfer powers) the remainder of the Enterprise Value (such aggregate amount payable to the holders of the Shares, the “Purchase Price”).

2.4. Estimated Purchase Price.

No later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company has delivered to the Buyer a certificate of an officer of the Company, with supporting documentation, setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate as of the Closing of (i) the Debt of the Company, (ii) the Transaction Expenses, (iii) the Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”) and the Estimated Closing Cash Adjustment Amount, and (iv) the Closing Date Accounts Receivable and the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount (such certificate, the “Closing Certificate”). The Buyer and its Representatives have been given reasonable access to all of the Company’s books and records relating to the preparation of the Closing Certificate. The “Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, means (i) the estimate of the Closing Date Accounts Receivable set forth in the Closing Certificate minus (ii) the amount of the Accounts Receivable Target. The “Estimated Closing Cash Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, means (i) the estimate of the Closing Date Cash set forth in the Closing Certificate minus (ii) the amount of the Closing Cash Target. For purposes of the payment to be paid pursuant to Section 2.3 on the Closing Date, if the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Enterprise Value will be increased by the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, or if the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Enterprise Value will be decreased by the absolute value of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount. For purposes of the payment to be paid pursuant to Section 2.3 on the Closing Date, if the Estimated Closing Cash Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Enterprise Value will be increased by the Estimated Closing Cash Adjustment Amount, or if the Estimated Closing Cash Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Enterprise Value will be decreased by the absolute value of the Estimated Closing Cash Adjustment Amount.

2.6. Final Determination of Closing Date Accounts Receivable.

The calculations of Closing Date Accounts Receivable and Closing Cash set forth in the Accounts Receivable Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto for purposes of this Article 2 unless the Sellers’ Representative provides a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to the Buyer no later than the thirtieth day after the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of the Accounts Receivable Statement setting forth in reasonable detail (a) any item on the Accounts Receivable Statement which the Sellers’ Representative believes has not been prepared in accordance with past practices of the Company and (b) the correct amount of such item in accordance with past practices of the Company. The Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives will be given reasonable access to all of the Company’s books, records, accounts, systems, facilities and employees relating to the preparation of the Accounts Receivable Statement. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto for purposes of this Article 2. The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will attempt to resolve the matters raised in a Dispute Notice in good faith. Five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, either the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative may provide written notice to the other that it elects to submit the disputed items to a nationally or regionally recognized independent accounting firm chosen jointly by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Accounts Receivable Referee”). The Accounts Receivable Referee will promptly review only those items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Dispute Notice and resolve the dispute with respect to each such specific item and amount in accordance with past practices of the Company (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review); provided, that the Accounts Receivable Referee will not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item, or lower than the lowest value of such item, claimed in any Dispute Notice presented to the Accounts Receivable Referee pursuant hereto. The fees and expenses of the Accounts Receivable Referee will be shared equally by the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer, and the decision of the Accounts Receivable Referee with respect to the items of the Accounts Receivable Statement submitted to it will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto for purposes of this Article 2. Each of the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Accounts Receivable Referee and to cause the Accounts Receivable Referee to resolve any dispute no later than thirty Business Days after submitting the disputed items to the Accounts Receivable Referee. The date on which the Closing Date Accounts Receivable and Closing Cash are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.6 (whether by the Sellers’ Representative’s acceptance of the amounts set forth in the Accounts Receivable Statement, by agreement of the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer, or by determination of the Accounts Receivable Referee) is hereinafter referred as to the “Determination Date.”

2.7. Payment of Accounts Receivable Adjustment.

The “Accounts Receivable Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, shall mean (i) the Closing Date Accounts Receivable as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6, minus (ii) the estimated Closing Date Accounts Receivable set forth in the Closing Certificate. Within 5 Business Days after the Determination Date: (a) if the Accounts Receivable Adjustment Amount is positive, then the Buyer will pay such amount to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the instructions on the written flow of funds previously provided by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the Closing; and (b) if the Accounts Receivable Adjustment Amount is negative, then an amount equal to the absolute value of the Accounts Receivable Adjustment Amount will be paid to the Buyer from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

2.8. Payment of Closing Cash Adjustment.

The “Closing Cash Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, shall mean (i) the Closing Cash as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6, minus (ii) the Estimated Closing Cash. Within 5 Business Days after the Determination Date: (a) if the Closing Cash Adjustment Amount is positive, then the Buyer will pay such amount to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the instructions previously provided by the Sellers’ Representative; and (b) if the Closing Cash Adjustment Amount is negative, then an amount equal to the absolute value of the Closing Cash Adjustment Amount will be paid to the Buyer from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

2.9 Insufficient Escrow.

If because of claims that are resolved in the Buyer’s favor hereunder or unresolved claims that have been made in good faith by the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, the available amount of the Escrow Amount is less than the Accounts Receivable Adjustment Amount or the Closing Cash Adjustment Amount, applicable, to be paid to the Buyer in accordance with Sections 2.7 or 2.8, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall make payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company of the amount of such difference.

10.	INDEMNIFICATION.

10.1. Indemnification by the Sellers.

10.1.1. Indemnification. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Buyer is entering into this Agreement and effecting the Contemplated Transactions specifically on the condition that the Sellers indemnify the Buyer in the manner set forth in Article 10. Therefore, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, (i) the Sellers, jointly and severally solely in respect of and to the extent of the Escrow Amount, and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in his capacity as a Seller (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”), agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and each of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees, agents, consultants and advisors, and the Representatives and Affiliates of each of the foregoing Persons (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Person”), from, against and in respect of any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, bonds, dues, assessments, fines, penalties, fees, costs (including costs of investigation, defense and enforcement of this Agreement), expenses or amounts paid in settlement (in each case, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts fees and expenses), but excluding any liquidated, special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, diminution in value, or lost profits (except to the extent payable in connection with a Third Party Claim) (collectively, “Losses”), which any such Buyer Indemnified Person may suffer, sustain or incur as a result of, arising out of or directly or indirectly relating to: (a) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Seller, other than a Fundamental Representation, in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or in any document, Schedule, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement (in each case, as such representation or warranty would read if all qualifications as to materiality, including each reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect,” were deleted therefrom); (b) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any Fundamental Representation (in each case, as such representation or warranty would read if all qualifications as to materiality, including each reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect,” were deleted therefrom); (c) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct of the Company or any Seller related to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (d) any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of the Company or any Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and (e) any Excluded Liability or Excluded Liabilities.

10.1.2. Source of Payment and Indemnification Limitations. All amounts owing to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.1.1 will be paid (i) first through distributions from the then remaining balance of the Escrow Amount (if any) in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) second, following the earlier of the exhaustion of the Escrow Amount or the disbursement of the then remaining Escrow Amount to the Sellers, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ up to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Cap. The Sellers, other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons except in respect of, and to the extent of, the Escrow Amount pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. In addition to the immediately preceding sentence, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons except to the extent of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Cap. “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Cap” means an amount equal to the sum of (a) the portion of the Purchase Price actually paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to Section 2.3 (but in any event for the purposes of calculating the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Cap, not less than $1,764,000), plus any payments made to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ under the Lease, minus any payments ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ makes to the Company pursuant to Section 2.9. The aggregate amount of Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1.1 shall not exceed the amount equal to the sum of any amounts recovered from the Escrow Amount plus the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Cap, except in the case of Losses related to fraud.

10.1.3. Deductible. The Sellers will have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 10.1.1(a) in respect of Losses arising from the breach or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty described therein unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons exceeds $50,000 (the “Deductible”) (at which point the Sellers will indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons for all such Losses in excess of such amount in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.1.2.

10.2. Indemnification by the Buyer.

10.2.1. Indemnification. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, the Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless each Seller and each Seller’s respective Affiliates, and the Representatives and Affiliates of each of the foregoing Persons (each, a “Seller Indemnified Person”), from, against and in respect of any and all Losses which any such Seller Indemnified Person may suffer, sustain or incur as a result of, arising out of or directly or indirectly relating to: (a) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or in any document, Schedule, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement (in each case, as such representation or warranty would read if all qualifications as to materiality, including each reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect,” were deleted therefrom); or (b) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct of the Buyer or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of the Buyer or any covenant or agreement of the Company to the extent required to be performed or complied with by the Company after the Closing, in either case in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

10.2.2. Monetary Limitations. The Buyer will have no obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 10.2.2(a) in respect of Losses arising from the breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty described therein unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Persons exceeds the Deductible (at which point the Buyer will indemnify the Seller Indemnified Persons for all such Losses in excess of such amount), and the Buyer’s aggregate liability in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2.2(a)will not exceed $50,000. Claims for indemnification described in clause (b) of Section 10.2.1 are not subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.2.2.

10.3. Time for Claims.

No claim may be made or suit instituted seeking indemnification pursuant to Sections 10.1.1(a), 10.1.1(b), or 10.2.1(a) for any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty unless a written notice describing such breach or inaccuracy in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to the Indemnified Party, is provided to the Indemnifying Party (in the case of the Sellers, to the Sellers’ Representative) at any time prior to the twenty four month anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties set forth in (i) the first and second sentences of Section 3.10 (Ownership of Assets, Sufficiency) and in Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Power and Authorization), Section 3.3 (Noncontravention), Section 3.5 (Capitalization), Section 3.9 (Debt), and Section 3.26 (Brokerage) shall survive indefinitely and claims may be made at any time, and (ii) Section 3.15 (Tax Matters), Section 3.17 (Environmental Matters), and Section 3.21 (Employees) shall survive until thirty (30) days following the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations (including extensions thereof) and claims may be initiated at any time during such period (collectively, the sections referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Fundamental Representations”).

Claims for breach or violation of covenants pursuant to Sections 10.1.1(c), 10.1.1(d) and 10.1.1(e) or Section 10.2.1(b) are not subject to the foregoing time limitations set forth in this Section 10.3; rather, a claim for breach of a particular covenant or agreement may be made any time during the period in which such covenant or agreement survives in accordance with the term specified in this Agreement or the particular Ancillary Agreement, as applicable (or until the applicable statute of limitations has expired, if no term is specified).

For the avoidance of doubt, other than survival limitations for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants as set forth in this Section 10.3, there shall be no time limitation for bringing any other claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10.

10.4. Third Party Claims.

10.4.1. Notice of Claim. If any third party notifies an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter which may give rise to an Indemnified Claim against an Indemnifying Party under this Article 10 (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that so long as such notice is delivered to the Indemnifying Party within the applicable time for claims set forth in Section 10.3, no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Article 10 except to the extent such delay actually and materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party; and, provided, further, that the Buyer may give notice of such claim to the Sellers’ Representative and deal solely with the Sellers’ Representative to resolve such claim (as opposed to dealing with any individual or particular Seller).

10.4.2. Assumption of Defense, etc. 1.1.1. The Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense, will be entitled to control the defense of any Third Party Claim and will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim by appointing reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, but only, in the case of Third Party Claims other than with respect to Taxes, so long as (a) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen days that it will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any and all Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (b) the Third Party Claim involves only claims for monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (c) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that a conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, (d) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement action, (e) settlement of, an adverse judgment with respect to or the Indemnifying Party’s conduct of the defense of the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to be adverse to the Indemnified Party’s reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential customers, suppliers or other parties material to the conduct of its business) and (f) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of separate co-counsel retained by the Indemnified Party that are incurred prior to Indemnifying Party’s assumption of control of the defense of the Third Party Claim.

10.4.3. Limitations on Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (a) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as the sole relief for the claimant, (b) results in the full and general release of the Buyer Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, from all liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim and (c) involves no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party.

10.4.4. Indemnified Party’s Control. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the notice contemplated by clause (a) of Section 10.4.2 within fifteen days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim, at any time fails to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently or is or becomes unable to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.4.2, the Indemnified Party may defend. If such notice is given on a timely basis and the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently but any of the other conditions in Section 10.4.2 is or becomes unsatisfied, the Indemnified Party may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by the entry of any such judgment consented to, or any such compromise or settlement effected, without its prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event that the Indemnified Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.4.4, the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any and all other Losses that the Indemnified Party may incur or suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 10.

10.5. No Circular Recovery.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Seller hereby agrees that he, she or it will not make any claim for indemnification against the Buyer, any Buyer Indemnified Person or the Company by reason of the fact that such Seller was a controlling person, director, employee or representative of the Company with respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnified Person against any Seller relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions or that is based on any facts or circumstances that form the basis for an Indemnity Claim by a Buyer Indemnified Person hereunder.

10.6. Manner of Payment.

Any payment to be made by Sellers or the Buyer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Article 10 will be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, to an account designated by the Sellers’ Representative or the Buyer, as the case may be, within five days after the determination thereof. The Buyer Indemnified Persons will also be entitled to (but will not be required to) set off any amounts due or payable to any of the Buyer Indemnified Persons by Sellers pursuant to this Article 10 by setting off against any amounts otherwise due and payable by an of the Buyer Affiliated Person or any of their Affiliates under the Lease.

10.7. Remedies Exclusive.

Except (a) for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Legal Requirement, (b) for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, including, without limitation, in connection with breaches by a Seller of Sections 6.3 or 6.5 or the Ancillary Agreements, or (c) in respect of claims based on fraud or criminal acts committed by or on behalf of a Seller, the indemnification provisions of this Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement from and after the Closing.

10.8. Tax Treatment.

All indemnification and other payments under this Article 10 will, to the extent permitted by law, be treated for all income Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price. Neither the Buyer nor the Sellers will take any position on any Tax return, or before any Governmental Authority, that is inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by any applicable Legal Requirement.

10.9. Mitigation. An Indemnified Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate indemnifiable Losses to the extent required to do so by applicable Legal Requirements.

10.10. Knowledge and Investigation; Waiver. The right of any Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 will not be affected by any investigation conducted for or on behalf of any party, or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time by any party or any party’s Representatives, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement.

11.	TAX MATTERS

11.1. Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns.

The Sellers shall cause to be prepared all income Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Periods”), and the Buyer shall file or cause to be filed all such Tax Returns as so prepared. All such income Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Periods shall be prepared in accordance with the past practices of the Company and in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Prior to filing any such income Tax Returns, the Sellers’ Representative shall provide drafts thereof for review and comment by the Buyer not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date such Tax Returns are due. The Sellers shall not file any such Tax Returns without the written consent of the Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Buyer agrees to pay all federal income taxes due and payable by the Company, which are calculated consistent with past practices and attributable to the period from January 1, 2014 through the Closing Date, up to a maximum amount of $175,000 (the “Tax Liability”).

11.2. Pre-Closing Non-Income Tax Returns and Straddle Returns.

Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Straddle Periods and any Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Periods that are not income Tax Returns that are first due after the Closing Date (and have not been previously filed). Prior to filing any such Tax Returns, Buyer shall provide drafts thereof for review and comment by the Sellers’ Representative not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date such Tax Returns are due. Buyer shall not file any such Tax Returns without the written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

11.3. Allocations.

If the Company is permitted but not required under applicable state, local or foreign income Tax Legal Requirement to treat the day before the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, then the parties shall treat that day as the last day of a taxable period. For the Company, in the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes of the Company based upon or measured by net income, gain, receipts or expenses (e.g., payroll Taxes) for the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date. The amount of Taxes for a Straddle Period, other than Taxes of the Company based upon or measured by net income, gain, receipts or expense, which relate to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

11.4. Tax Sharing Agreements.

All agreements the principal purpose of which is Tax sharing or Tax allocation with respect to or involving the Company will be terminated by the Sellers at Closing and, after the Closing, the Company will not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

11.5. Certain Taxes and Fees.

All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, real property transfer, recording, stock transfer and other similar Taxes and fees, and any conveyance fees or recording charges incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, will be shared equally by the Buyer and Sellers (any such amounts not properly paid when due by the Sellers shall be considered an Excluded Liability hereunder). The Buyer will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Sellers will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

11.6. Cooperation on Tax Matters.

From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer, the Company, and the Sellers will cooperate fully and promptly, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any of the other parties, in connection with any Tax matters relating to the Company (including by the provision of reasonably relevant records or information). The party requesting such cooperation will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the assisting party or parties.

11.6.1. The Buyer shall not, nor shall it permit or cause any of its Affiliates or the Company to, amend, file, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of the Company with respect to Tax periods that begin on or prior to the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned as long as such amendment or other modification will not and could not cause or increase any Seller’s Liability or amount of indemnification obligation to any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, unless such amendment or modification is required to comply with applicable Legal Requirements.

11.6.2. Any refunds (and any interest thereon) of Taxes received by or with respect to the Company (or benefit of crediting an overpayment or over-accrual of Taxes and any interest thereon) that relate to a period (or a portion of a period) that ends on or prior to the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Sellers, and the Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid over to the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the Sellers) any such amounts within thirty (30) days of receipt of such.

11.6.3. None of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) shall file or cause or permit to be filed any election under Section 338 of the Code (or comparable provision of other Legal Requirement) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. None of the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to any indemnification, and no Seller shall have any liability or obligation with respect to any indemnification, for or with respect to any Taxes or other costs that might arise or accrue to the Company, the Buyer, or any other Person by reason of, or in connection with, any breach of the first sentence of this paragraph by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

12.2. Succession and Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiary.

Subject to the immediately following sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which such successors and permitted assigns will be deemed to be a party hereto for all purposes hereof. No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of his, her or its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties; provided, however, that the Buyer may (a) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates or to any of its lenders, (b) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder and (c) assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any purchaser of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Buyer, provided that in the case of each of clauses (a) through (c), no such assignment shall release the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assignees and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and such successors and assignees, any legal or equitable rights hereunder, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any Company Plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company.

12.3. Amendments and Waivers.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Buyer, the Company and the Sellers’ Representative, or in the case of a waiver, by the party (in the case of the Sellers, by the Sellers’ Representative) against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver by any party of any breach or violation of, default under or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach, violation, default of, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof.

12.4. Provisions Concerning Sellers’ Representative.

12.4.1. Each Seller hereby appoints ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as the agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Seller for all purposes under this Agreement (including full power and authority to act on the Sellers’ collective behalf). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative will be authorized to: (a) in connection with the Closing, execute and receive all documents, instruments, certificates, statements and agreements on behalf of and in the name of the Sellers necessary to effectuate the Closing and consummate the Contemplated Transactions; (b) take all actions on behalf of the Sellers with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 2.36, 2.7, and 2.48; (c) take all actions on behalf of the Sellers in connection with any claims made under Article 10, to defend or settle such claims, and to make payments in respect of such claims; (d) take all actions on behalf of the Sellers in connection with the escrow account established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (including giving any instructions to the Escrow Agent, on behalf of the Sellers, to pay from such escrow account any amounts owed by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement); (e) execute and deliver, should it elect to do so in its sole discretion, on behalf of the Sellers, any amendment to this Agreement; and (f) take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Sellers and exercise any and all rights which the Sellers are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement.

12.4.2. The Sellers’ Representative will not be liable to any Seller for any action taken by it in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, and the Sellers will jointly and severally indemnify the Sellers’ Representative from any Losses arising out of its serving as the Sellers’ Representative hereunder. The Sellers’ Representative is serving in that capacity solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of the Sellers hereunder, and the Buyer agrees, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates, and any Buyer Indemnified Party, that it will not look (nor shall any of its Affiliates or Any Buyer Indemnified Party be entitled to look) to the personal assets of the Sellers’ Representative, for any actions taken or not taken while acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Sellers hereunder.

12.4.3. Each Seller agrees that the Buyer will be entitled to rely on any action taken by the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, pursuant to Section 12.4.1 above (each, an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action will be binding on each Seller as fully as if such Seller had taken such Authorized Action.

12.4.4. Upon the resignation, death, disability or incapacity of the initial Sellers’ Representative appointed pursuant to Section 12.4.1 above, the Sellers will be permitted by majority rule (voting on the basis of the percentages set forth on Schedule 3.5) to appoint a replacement reasonably believed to be capable of carrying out the duties and performing the obligations of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder (which will be subject to the approval of the Buyer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

12.5. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements, and the schedules and the exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto, including, that certain letter of intent dated August 5, 2014, by and among Buyer and the Company.

12.6. Schedules.

Any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule shall be deemed disclosed on all other Schedules to which it is reasonably apparent from the text of the disclosure that such fact or item applies to another Schedule. The inclusion of information in any Schedule shall not be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that a violation, right of termination, default, liability or other obligation of any kind exists with respect to any item, nor shall it be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that such information is material to the Sellers or the Company. Neither the specifications of any dollar amount in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in the Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Schedules is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material.

12.7. Counterparts.

Each party hereto further agrees that, in the event of any action for an injunction or specific performance in respect of any such threatened or actual breach or violation, it, he or she will not assert that a remedy at law would be adequate.
