(b)     Purchase Price Adjustment. The Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased on a dollar for dollar basis, in accordance with this Section 2.5(b). The Parties hereby agree that the “Target Selected Current Assets Amount” shall be as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, Mesa will calculate the NBBS Selected Current Assets as of the date of Closing (the “Closing Date Selected Current Assets Amount”) in a manner consistent with the methodology for calculating the Target Selected Current Assets Amount set out in Exhibit A hereof, except that (i) the Closing Date Selected Current Assets Amount shall be increased by the amount of cash consideration paid and legal fees incurred in connection with NBBS’ acquisition of certain customers and other assets of Forest Park Diagnostics, Inc. d/b/a Sterilchek; “Fixed Assets (Net)” for purposes of the Closing Date Selected Current Assets Amount shall be $66,191; and (iii) The “Selected Current Assets Adjustment Amount” shall be the difference between the Closing Date Selected Current Assets Amount and the Target Selected Current Assets Amount, each of which shall be calculated on a consistent basis.

i.     Within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date, Mesa shall prepare and deliver to the Members:

1.     its calculation of the draft Closing Date Selected Current Assets Amount,

2.     a statement setting forth Mesa’s preliminary calculation of the draft Selected Current Assets Adjustment Amount (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) and

3.     any and all supporting documentation relating to each of the above calculations, including, but not limited to, all work papers relating to such calculation (collectively, the “Selected Current Assets Statements”).

ii.     The Members will have thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the Selected Current Assets Statements to determine, in good faith, if the Selected Current Assets Statements have been calculated in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.5(b) and Exhibit A and each is true, accurate and complete. If the Members determine that the Selected Current Assets Statements have any discrepancies or are otherwise incorrect, inconsistent, inaccurate or not determined and/or calculated in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.5(b) and Exhibit A, or are not otherwise true, accurate and complete, the Members shall notify Mesa in writing of the Members’ proposed adjustments to any of the Selected Current Assets Statements on or before the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period, including reasonable detail of the nature and basis for the adjustments and all work papers related thereto (collectively, the “Selected Current Assets Objection”).

iii.     If the Members deliver a Selected Current Assets Objection, then within fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt by Mesa of such Selected Current Assets Objection, the Parties shall confer and negotiate in good faith to resolve the matters in dispute as set forth in the Selected Current Assets Objection. If the Parties cannot mutually resolve any such disputes within such fifteen (15) calendar day period, the Parties shall jointly engage an accounting firm agreeable to both Parties and independent of both (the “Independent Accountant”). The Parties jointly shall engage the Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not an arbiter, to review only those items in dispute by the Parties. The Independent Accountant shall be furnished with a copy of this Agreement, the Selected Current Assets Statements and the Selected Current Assets Objection, and any other documentation of either Party that the Independent Accountant determines to be necessary and relevant to resolving such disputes. The Independent Accountant shall, within thirty (30) calendar days following the commencement of its engagement by the Parties, complete its review and render a written report setting forth its conclusion as to calculation of the Selected Current Assets Statements. The decision by the Independent Accountant shall be in writing and delivered to the Parties. The Parties agree that the Independent Accountant is the exclusive Person to make all interpretations necessary (including interpretations or constructions of this Agreement) to support its determinations. The Independent Accountant’s decision shall be the final Selected Current Assets Adjustment Amount (the “Final Selected Current Assets Adjustment Amount”) and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be apportioned between Mesa, on the one hand, and the Members, on the other, each paying fifty percent (50%) of such fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant.

8

iv.     If the Members do not submit a Selected Current Assets Objection within the thirty (30) calendar day period contemplated by Section 2.5(b)ii above, the Selected Current Assets Adjustment reflected in the Preliminary Closing Statement will be deemed the Final Selected Current Assets Adjustment Amount. If the Preliminary Closing Statement is modified by either: (A) mutual agreement by the Members and Mesa or (B) the Independent Accountant, as the case may be, then such modified Preliminary Closing Statement shall be the Final Selected Current Assets Adjustment Amount.

(c)     Within ten (10) calendar days after the final determination of the Final Selected Current Assets Adjustment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), either (A) the Members shall pay to Mesa, either by way of set-off against the Holdback Amount or by way of cash, at Mesa’s discretion, the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Selected Current Assets Amount is less than the Target Selected Current Assets Amount or (B) Mesa shall pay to the Members the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Selected Current Assets Amount exceeds the Target Selected Current Assets Amount.

(d)     The Parties acknowledge and agree that NBBS shall, prior to Closing, timely and fully pay the premium for its group health insurance plan for the month of August. At or before Closing, NBBS shall provide Mesa with proof of payment of such premium as Mesa may reasonably require.

5.3.2     Indemnification by NBBS. NBBS and the Members, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mesa, and each of Mesa’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents and representatives from and against any loss, cost, damage, diminution of value, expense, judgment or liability, including investigative fees and reasonable legal fees, expenses and costs (a “Mesa Loss”), which is suffered or incurred by Mesa in connection with any Claim, to the extent that such Mesa Loss arises out of or in connection with: (a) any breach or default in the performance by NBBS or the Members of any covenant or agreement made by NBBS or the Members in this Agreement or in any other certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Mesa pursuant to this Agreement; (b) any breach of any representation or warranty made by NBBS or the Members in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule or any supplements thereto, or in any other certificate, document, writing or instrument, including all transfer instruments, delivered by NBBS pursuant to this Agreement; (c) any Claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by such Person with NBBS or either of the Members in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (d) any Liability arising out of ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets or Business prior to the Closing Date, other than Assumed Liabilities; (e) any product or component thereof manufactured, sold or shipped by NBBS, or any services provided by NBBS, in whole or part prior to the Closing Date, other than Assumed Liabilities; (f) any noncompliance with any tax bulk sales Law or fraudulent transfer Law in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby; (g) any Excluded Liabilities; and (h) any and all Proceedings incident to the foregoing.

5.3.3     Indemnity Procedure. A party or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”.

(a)     There shall be no right to indemnification under this Agreement for any losses or claims arising out of or related to any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of a Party to this Agreement, with respect to which a claim for indemnification is made following the expiration of the applicable survival periods of such representation or warranty as set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement.

20

(b)     An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days of first Knowledge of such claim; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced by such failure or such notice is given after expiration of the applicable survival period of the underlying representation or warranty. Such notice shall specify whether the claim arises as a result of a claim by a Person other than a Party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the claim is made directly by the Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):

1. the factual basis for the claim; and;

2. the amount of the claim, if known.

If, through the sole fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not receive notice of any claim in time to effectively contest the determination of any liability susceptible of being contested, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to set off, as against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party, the amount of any losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party resulting from the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice on a timely basis.

(c)     With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days to make such investigation of the claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) calendar day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the claim or if the Indemnified Party is Mesa, it may setoff such mutually agreed upon claim against the Holdback Amount. If the Parties are unable to agree on the validity or the amount of the claim, such issues shall be resolved solely by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 of this Agreement.

(d)     With respect to any Third Party Claims, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party’s approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which might have a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently defending any such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel representing the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding include both Parties and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or disputes its obligation to indemnify in respect to such Third Party Claim, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, proceed diligently to defend such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (only if the Indemnifying Party is obligated hereunder this Article V to indemnify the other Party), elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such Third Party Claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall (only if the Indemnifying Party is obligated hereunder this Article V to indemnify the other Party) be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such Third Party Claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such Third Party Claim.

21

(e)     The Parties agree to cooperate in defending any Third Party Claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the Parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.

(f)     Subject to subsection 5.3.3(g) of this Agreement, with regard to any claims for which indemnification becomes due and payable by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, such claims shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party, provided that with respect to claims to which the following apply, then upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) calendar days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; (iii) a settlement of a claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall make payment in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement; or (iv) in the case of the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party, the same shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party.

(g)     If there is a Mesa Loss, Mesa, at its option, shall be entitled to receive payment equivalent to the amount of the Mesa Loss out of the Holdback Amount, upon the earliest to occur of the events listed in subsections 5.3.3(f) (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Agreement.

(h)     The amount of any Mesa Loss or NBBS Loss for which any Indemnified Party claims indemnification under this Agreement shall be (i) reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received from a third party insurer (net of reasonable costs incurred by such Indemnified Party to enforce payment from such third-party insurer) by such Indemnified Party with respect to such loss; (ii) decreased to take account of any net Tax benefit actually incurred or realized by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss; and (iii) reduced by indemnification, reimbursement, credits, rebates, refunds or other payments actually received by such Indemnified Party from third parties with respect to such loss (net of reasonable costs incurred by any Indemnified Party to obtain such indemnification, reimbursement, credits, rebates, refunds or other payments).

(i)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, NBBS and the Members shall not be responsible for any Mesa Loss in excess of the amount of the Purchase Price actually paid to NBBS.

(j)     Each Party hereto shall take, and cause their Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any NBBS Loss or Mesa Loss, as applicable, upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the claim that gives rise to such Loss.

5.4     Noncompetition; Nondisclosure; Nonsolicitation. As an inducement to Mesa to enter into this Agreement, in partial consideration of the Purchase Price and as a condition to Closing, NBBS and its Members, shall enter into and delivered to Mesa a noncompetition, nondisclosure, and nonsolicitation agreements in the forms of Exhibit G attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Noncompetition, Nondisclosure, and Nonsolicitation Agreement”).

5.5     Further Assurances. The Parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other and with their respective Representatives in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and shall (a) furnish upon request to each other such further information reasonably requested; (b) execute and deliver to each other such other reasonably requested documents; and (c) do such other acts and things, all as the other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

8.14.3     The arbitration shall be conducted in Traverse City, Michigan for claims brought by Mesa or Denver, Colorado for claims brought by NBBS.

8.14.4     Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor its representatives, nor any arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.

8.14.5     The arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award punitive, consequential, special, or indirect damages, except as may be required by Law. The arbitrator(s) shall be entitled to issue injunctive and other equitable relief. The arbitrator(s) shall award interest from the time of the breach to the time of award at the rate of prejudgment interest under Colorado law.

8.14.6     The award shall be made within nine (9) months of the filing of the notice of intention to arbitrate (demand), except in the case of an LCCD, in which case the award shall be made within one (1) year. The arbitrator(s) shall agree to comply with this schedule before accepting appointment. However, this time limit may be extended by agreement of the parties or by the arbitrator(s) if necessary.

8.14.7     The arbitrator(s) shall award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator(s), all of its costs and fees. “Costs and fees” mean all reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrators’ fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses such as copying and telephone, court costs, witness fees, and attorneys’ fees.

8.14.8     The award shall be in writing, shall be signed by the arbitrator or a majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, and shall include a statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim.

8.15     Participation of Parties. The Parties hereby agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding, or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

8.16     Further Assurances. The Parties hereto shall deliver any and all other instruments or documents reasonably required to be delivered pursuant to, or necessary or proper in order to give effect to, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, all necessary instruments of transfer as may be necessary or desirable to transfer full and complete ownership of the Purchase Assets free and clear of any liens or Encumbrances.
