AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of April ___, 2005 (this “Agreement”), is made by and among Mobilepro Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), NeoReach, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”) and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Buyer”), Transcordia Acquisition Corp., an Arizona corporation and directly wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“”Buyer Sub”) Transcordia, LLC an Arizona limited liability company (the “Company”) and Wazco, LLC (“Nasco”), Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, “XxXxxxxx: Family College Fund, Xxxx XxXxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, III (collectively, the “Company Unitholders”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors and/or Manager of Parent, Buyer, Buyer Sub and the Company have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their stockholders/unitholders to consummate the business combination transaction provided for herein in which the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, merge with and into Buyer Sub, with Buyer Sub being the surviving entity (the “Merger”); and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger

Section 1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Law”) and the Arizona Limited Liability Company Act (“Arizona Law”), upon the execution of this Agreement and concurrent with the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware and the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona (each a “Merger Certificate” and collectively ”Merger Certificates”) (in accordance with the relevant provision of Delaware Law and Arizona Law, respectively), the Company shall merge with and into Buyer Sub. The separate corporate existence of the Company will cease upon the filing of the Merger Certificates (the “Effective Time”), and Buyer Sub will continue as the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger. Buyer Sub, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

For purposes of this Agreement, the date of the filing of the Articles of Merger shall be known as the “Closing Date” and the actions taken on such date and at such time, the “Closing.”

Section 1.2 Effect of the Merger; Closing. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Delaware and Arizona Law. At the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Buyer Sub will vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Buyer Sub not paid by the Company at or before Closing will become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.3 Articles of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Buyer Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.4 Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of Buyer Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.5 Board of Directors and Officers. The directors and corporate officers of Buyer Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the directors and corporate officers of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.6 Conversion of Units. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Buyer Sub, the Company or the holder of any units of the Company each partnership unit of Company (as defined in Section 2.2(a)) (“Company Units”) issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will be converted into and become the right to receive:.

(a) 13,000 shares of Parent’s $0.001 par value common stock (“Stock Consideration” or the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) All Company Units that are held by the Company as treasury units (the “Company Treasury Units”) shall cease to exist and no cash, Buyer common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Buyer Common Stock”) or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefore.

(c) The shares of Parent Common Stock will not have been registered and will be deemed to be “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and may not be resold without registration under or exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Each certificate evidencing shares of Parent Common Stock will bear the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO MOBILEPRO CORP. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

Section 1.7 Surrender of Units; Unit Transfer Books.

(a) At the Closing, the Company Unitholders will surrender such Company Unitholders’ Certificate(s) to Buyer (“Certificate”). Until so surrendered, such Certificate(s) will represent solely the right to receive the Merger Consideration relating thereto.

(b) At the Effective Time, the unit transfer books of the Company will be closed and there will not be any further registration of transfers of any Company Units, options or warrants thereafter on the records of the Company. If, at or after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, they will be canceled and exchanged for Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.6.

(c) In the event any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Buyer will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with Section 1.6 if the Person to whom the Merger Consideration is paid will, as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, give the Surviving Corporation a bond in such sum as the Surviving Corporation may reasonably direct or otherwise indemnify the Surviving Corporation in a manner reasonably satisfactory to it against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 1.8 Adjustments for Capital Changes. If prior to the Merger, Parent or Company recapitalizes through a split-up of its outstanding shares into a greater number, or a combination of its outstanding shares into a lesser number, reorganizes, reclassifies or otherwise changes its outstanding shares into the same or a different number of shares of other classes (other than through a split-up or combination of shares provided for in the previous clause), or declares a dividend on its outstanding shares payable in shares or securities convertible into shares, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the Company shares are to be converted will be adjusted appropriately so as to maintain the proportionate interests of the holders of the Company shares and the holders of Buyer shares.

Section 1.9 General Escrow Shares and General Escrow Cash.

(a) General Escrow Shares. At the Effective Time, Buyer shall withhold from the Stock Consideration otherwise deliverable to Nasco, five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “General Escrow Shares”). Any such General Escrow Shares will be delivered by Parent to ____________ (the “Escrow Agent”), as escrow agent, to be held pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Escrow Agreement”). The payment of any General Escrow Shares in satisfaction of any indemnification obligations under ARTICLE VI shall be made by Nasco. Escrow Agent shall hold the General Escrow Shares for one year following the Effective Time (the “General Escrow Period”) as security for the Company indemnification obligations for Damages under ARTICLE VI.

(b) Distributions on General Escrow Shares. Any dividends or distributions payable in shares of Parent Common Stock or other equity securities or issued upon a stock split made in respect of any General Escrow Shares shall be considered General Escrow Shares hereunder. Cash dividends and any other dividends or distributions in kind on the General Escrow Shares (“General Escrow Dividends”) shall be distributed to Nasco within fifteen (15) business days following the expiration of the General Escrow Period.

(c) Voting of General Escrow Shares. Nasco on whose behalf General Escrow Shares are held by Escrow Agent shall be entitled to vote such shares. Buyer need not forward proxy information, annual or other reports or other information with respect to the General Escrow Shares to Nasco to the extent such documents or materials are otherwise furnished by Buyer with respect to other shares of Parent Common Stock distributed to such holders pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Release of General Escrow Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within ten (10) business days) following the expiration of the General Escrow Period, Escrow Agent shall release to Nasco the General Escrow Dividends and all of the remaining General Escrow Shares, if any, in excess of (i) any General Escrow Shares delivered by Escrow Agent in satisfaction of Claims (as defined in ARTICLE VI) for Damages (as defined in ARTICLE VI) by Buyer Indemnified Persons (as defined ARTICLE VI) and (ii) any amount of General Escrow Shares that is necessary to satisfy all unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Claims for Damages specified in any Notice of Claim (as defined in ARTICLE VI) delivered to the representative before the expiration of the General Escrow Period. If any Claims are unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed as of the expiration of the General Escrow Period, then Escrow Agent shall retain possession of that number of General Escrow Shares determined by dividing the total maximum amount of Damages then being claimed by Buyer Indemnified Persons in all such unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Claims by $0.25, and as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within ten (10) business days) following resolution of all such Claims, Escrow Agent shall release to Nasco the General Escrow Shares, all remaining General Escrow Shares, if any, not required to satisfy such Claims. Such releases of General Escrow Dividends shall be made by check. If the number of General Escrow Shares to be distributed to any Company shareholder is not evenly divisible by one, Buyer shall round to the nearest whole number.

(e) No Transfer or Encumbrance. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no General Escrow Shares or General Escrow Dividends or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by Buyer or Nasco or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of Buyer or Nasco or used for any reason, prior to (i) in the case of Buyer, the retention of General Escrow Shares in satisfaction of a resolved Claim for Damages to address any post-closing Merger Adjustment in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) in the case of Nasco, the release by Escrow Agent to Nasco of General Escrow Shares or General Escrow Dividends in accordance with this Agreement, except that Nasco shall be entitled to assign its rights to the General Escrow Shares or General Escrow Dividends by will, by the laws of intestacy or by other operation of law.

(f) No Liability of the Escrow Agent. In holding and administering the General Escrow Shares or General Escrow Dividends, the Escrow Agent will incur no liability with respect to any action taken by it in reliance upon any written notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the representative (and shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity thereof), nor for any other action or inaction, except the Escrow Agent’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence. In all questions arising under this Agreement with respect to the General Escrow Shares or General Escrow Dividends, the Escrow Agent may rely on the advice of counsel, and the Escrow Agent will not be liable to anyone for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Escrow Agent based on such advice, except for the Escrow Agent’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Section 1.10 Parent’s Repurchase Option. The Parent or its assignees shall have the option to repurchase all of the Unvested Shares (as defined below) from Nasco on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the "Repurchase Option") if Nasco ceases to be Engaged or Employed by the Parent (as defined herein) due to Cause (as defined below).

(a) Definition of “Engaged or Employed by the Parent”; “Termination Date”; “Cause”. For purposes of this Agreement, Nasco will be considered to be "Engaged or Employed by the Parent" if he is rendering substantial services as an officer, employee, consultant or independent contractor to the Parent or to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Parent pursuant to a written agreement. “Termination Date” shall mean the date (i) Nasco voluntarily terminates his engagement or employment with the Parent for any reason or (ii) the date Nasco’s relationship with the Parent is terminated for “Cause”. “Cause” shall mean a termination of the engagement or employment that is based upon (i) an act of dishonesty, fraud, embezzlement, breach of trust, misappropriation or acceptance of a bribe or kickback; (ii) material neglect by Employee of his duties, chronic absenteeism, or any material or intentional breach of Employee’s obligations hereunder including, without limitation, any intentional failure to implement material policies and/or procedures established by the Parent which is not rectified to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent by Employee within ten (10) days after written notification to Employee of said absenteeism, breach or violation; (iii) the conviction or a plea of nolo contendere, by Employee of a felony or of a crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude or (iv) breach of any provision of an Employment of Consulting Agreement between the Company and Xxxx Xxxxx.

(b) Unvested and Vested Shares. Shares of Parent’s common stock (that are Nasco’s part of the Merger Consideration) that are vested pursuant to the schedule set forth herein are "Vested Shares". Shares of Parent’s common stock (that are a Selling Shareholders’ part of the Merger Consideration) that are not vested pursuant to the schedule set forth herein are "Unvested Shares". Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred by Nasco without the Parent's prior written consent. On the Effective Date 1,040,000 shares of the Merger Consideration held by Nasco will be Unvested Shares. If Nasco has continuously been Engaged or Employed by the Parent or any subsidiary or parent entity of the Parent, at all times from the Effective Date until May ____, 2005 (the "First Vesting Date"), then on the First Vesting Date 1/24^th of Nasco’s Merger Consideration will become Vested Shares; and thereafter, for so long (and only for so long) as Nasco remains Engaged or Employed by the Parent or any subsidiary or parent of the Parent, at all times after the First Vesting Date, an additional 1/24^th of Nasco’s Merger Consideration will become Vested Shares upon the expiration of each full month elapsed after the First Vesting Date. No Shares will become Vested Shares after the Termination Date. If the application of the vesting percentage results in a fractional share, such share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share for each month except for the last month in such vesting period, at the end of which last month the balance of Unvested Shares shall become fully Vested Shares.

(c) Exercise of Repurchase Option at Original Price. At any time within ninety (90) days after the Termination Date, the Parent may elect to repurchase any or all of the Unvested Shares by giving Nasco written notice of exercise of the Repurchase Option. The Parent and/or its assignee(s) will then have the option to repurchase from Nasco all of the Unvested Shares for the sum of $1.00 (the "Repurchase Option Price").

(d) Right of Termination Unaffected. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to limit or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Parent (or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Parent) to terminate Nasco’s Engagement or Employment with the Parent (or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Parent) at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without cause. However, in the event of such a termination by the Parent without Cause, all remaining Unvested Shares shall immediately become Vested Shares.

Section 1.11 Further Assurances. The Company agrees that if, at any time before or after the Effective Time, Buyer considers or is advised that any further deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm in Buyer title to any property or rights of Company, Buyer and its proper officers and directors may execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments and assurances and do all other things necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm title to such property or rights in Buyer and otherwise to carry out the purpose of this Agreement, in the name of Company or otherwise.

Section 1.12 Securities Law Issues. Based in part on the representations of the Company Unitholders made herein, Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Rule 506 under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

ARTICLE II

Representations and Warranties of Company And Nasco

Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter attached to this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), the Company and Nasco, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Buyer as follows:

Section 2.1 Organization, Qualification and Corporation Power. The Company (a) is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate or lease its properties and to carry on its business as is now being conducted and proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing or to have such power and authority would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) on the Company, and (b) is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The Company has furnished to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of its Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” when used in connection with an entity means any change, event, circumstance or effect whether or not such change, event, circumstance or effect is caused by or arises in connection with a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such entity in this Agreement that is or is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the business, assets (including intangible assets), capitalization, financial condition, operations or results of operations, employees or prospects of such entity taken as a whole with its subsidiaries, except to the extent that any such change, event, circumstance or effect is caused by results from (i) changes in general economic conditions, (ii) changes affecting the industry generally in which such entity operates (provided that such changes do not affect such entity in a substantially disproportionate manner) or (iii) changes in the trading prices for such entity’s capital stock.

Section 2.2 Capitalization; Subsidiaries.

The Company Unitholders hold good and marketable title to such Company Units, free and clear of all liens, agreements, voting trusts, proxies and other arrangements or restrictions of any kind whatsoever (other than normal restrictions on transfer under applicable federal and state securities laws). All issued and outstanding Company Units have been duly authorized and were validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, are not subject to any right of rescission, are not subject to preemptive rights by statute, the Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement of Company, or any agreement or document to which Company is a party or by which it is bound and have been offered, issued, sold and delivered by Company in compliance with all registration or qualification requirements (or applicable exemptions therefrom) of applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company is not under any obligation to register under the Securities Act any of its presently outstanding securities or any securities that may be subsequently issued. There is no liability for dividends accrued but unpaid with respect to the Company’s outstanding securities.

(b) Except as disclosed in Section 2.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there are no existing (i) options, warrants, calls, preemptive rights, subscriptions or other rights, convertible securities, agreements or commitments of any character obligating the Company to issue, transfer or sell any shares of capital stock or other equity interest in, the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares or equity interests, (ii) contractual obligations of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any capital stock of the Company or (iii) voting trusts or similar agreements to which the Company is a party with respect to the voting of the capital stock of the Company. The Company has delivered to the Buyer, a correct and complete list of each Company Option and Company Warrant outstanding as of the date hereof, including the name of the holder of such Company Option or Company Warrant, the Company Plan pursuant to which such Company Option was issued, the number of shares covered by such Company Option or Company Warrant, the per share exercise price of such Company Option or Company Warrant and the vesting commencement date and vesting schedule applicable to each such Company Option, including the number of shares vested as of the date of this Agreement. The terms of the Company Plans permit the assumption or substitution of options to purchase Company Common Stock provided in this Agreement, without the consent or approval of the holders of such securities, the Company Unitholders, or otherwise and without any acceleration of the exercise schedule or vesting provisions in effect for those options. No other outstanding options, whether under the Company Plans or otherwise, will be accelerated in connection with the Merger.

(c) Except as disclosed in Section 2.2(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter the Company does not have any direct or indirect Subsidiaries or any interest, direct or indirect, in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business entity.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” of a Person means any corporation or other legal entity of which such Person (either alone or through or together with any other Subsidiary) owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the stock or other equity interests the holders of which are generally entitled to vote for the election of the board of directors or other governing body of such corporation or other legal entity.

Section 2.3 Ownership of Units.

(a) The Company Unitholders are the record and beneficial owner of, and have good and valid title to, all of the Company Units, which Company Units (i) are free and clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances, pledges, claims, options, charges, easements, restrictions, covenants, conditions of record, encroachments, security interests and claims of every kind and character (each, a “Lien”) and (ii) are free of any other restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other ownership interests).

(b) There are no outstanding existing (i) options, warrants, calls, preemptive rights, subscriptions or other rights, convertible securities, agreements or commitments of any character to which the Company Unitholders is a party obligating the Company Unitholders to issue, transfer or sell any Company Units or other equity interest in the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares or equity interests or (ii) voting trusts, stockholders’ agreements or similar agreements to which the Company Unitholders are a party with respect to the voting of the Company Stock owned by such Company Unitholders.

Section 2.4 Authority Relative to this Agreement. The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to the filing of the Articles of Merger as required by Arizona Law, to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and the Company Unitholders and, subject to the filing of the Articles of Merger as required by Arizona Law, no other corporate proceeding is necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer and Buyer Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except that (a) the enforceability hereof may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws, now or hereinafter in effect, affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (b) the general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered at a proceeding at law or in equity).

Section 2.5 No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Company Unitholders does not, and the consummation by the Company and the Company Unitholders of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law, court order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Company Unitholders or by which any of their property is bound, (ii) violate or conflict with the Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time of both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the properties or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to, any contract, instrument, Permit or license to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their property is bound, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) for conflicts, violations, breaches or defaults which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(b) Except for the filing of the Merger Certificates and any applicable requirements, if any, under “takeover” or “blue sky” laws of various states, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is required to submit any notice, report or other filing with any federal, state or local or foreign government, political subdivision thereof, any court, administrative, regulatory or other governmental agency, commission or authority or any non-governmental United States or foreign self-regulatory agency, commission or authority or any arbitral tribunal (each, a “Governmental Entity”) in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby the failure of which to submit would, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. No waiver, consent, approval or authorization of any Governmental Entity or any third party is required to be obtained or made by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with its execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement the failure of which to obtain or make, individually or in the aggregate, would have or result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Section 2.6 Financial Statements; Debt.

The parties’ post-closing remedies for a breach are not limited by the pre-closing discovery of a breach.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, the Company and Nasco agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, agents and employees, and each person, if any, who controls or may control Buyer within the meaning of the Securities Act from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of actions, losses, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees (hereinafter referred to as “Damages”):

(a) Arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of or default in connection with any of the representations, warranties and covenants given or made by the Company in this Agreement or any certificate, document or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto; or

(b) Resulting from any failure of the Company Unitholders to have good, valid and marketable title to the issued and outstanding Company Units held by them, free and clear of all liens, claims, pledges, options, adverse claims, assessments or charges of any nature whatsoever, or to have full right, capacity and authority to vote such Company Stock in favor of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing are collectively referred to as the “Buyer Indemnity Claims.”

Section 6.3 Indemnification of Nasco and Company. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, the Buyer and Buyer Sub agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Nasco and Company and its officers, directors, agents and employees, from and against any and all Damages:

(b) Resulting from any failure of Buyer to have good, valid and marketable title to the full paid nonassessable share of Buyer Common Stock constituting all or any part of the Merger Consideration, free and clear of all liens, claims, pledges, options, adverse claims, assessments or charges of any nature whatsoever, or to have full right, capacity and authority to cause all of the shares representing such Buyer Common Stock to be issued to the Company Unitholders in connection with the conversion of each share of the Company Stock as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing are collectively referred to as the “Nasco and Company Indemnity Claims.” The Nasco and Company Indemnity Claims together with the Buyer Indemnity Claims are collectively referred to as the “Indemnity Claims.”

Section 6.4 General Notice and Procedural Requirements for Indemnity Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party or person having the indemnity obligation under this Article VI (the “Indemnifying Party”), shall be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the party or person entitled to indemnity under this Article VI (the “Indemnified Party”), only with respect to any Indemnity Claims of which the Indemnified Party notifies with specificity the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Agreement and, if applicable, within the following time period: (i) with regard to any representation or warranty under this Agreement, prior to the end of the Survival Period of such representation or warranty; or (ii) with regard to any covenant under this Agreement which by its terms expires, prior to the end of the survival period relating to such covenant.

Section 6.5 Notice and Procedural Requirements for Third Party Claims. If a complaint, claim or legal action is brought by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Agreement promptly after the Indemnified Party receives notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of any letter, complaint or similar writing received by the Indemnified Party; provided however, that any failure to provide or delay in providing such information shall not constitute a bar or defense to indemnification except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election so to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim except as hereinafter provided. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such defense and select counsel, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense through its own separate counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party unless: (i) otherwise specifically agreed by the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party determines that because of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party such counsel for the Indemnifying Party cannot adequately represent both parties in conducting the defense of such action. In the event the Indemnified Party maintains separate counsel because counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party has determined that such counsel cannot adequately represent both parties because of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Third Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

The failure of the Indemnifying Party to notify an Indemnified Party of its election to defend such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after notice thereof was given to the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its rights to defend such Third Party Claim.

If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the obligations of the Indemnifying Party shall include taking all steps necessary in the defense of such Third Party Claim and holding the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Damages caused or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnified Party or any judgment in connection with the claim or litigation.

If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not withhold such consent unless it has provided security of a type and in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party for the payment of its indemnification obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount of Damages caused or arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such Third Party Claim, and for all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claim.

The Indemnifying Party may settle any Third Party Claim in its sole discretion without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, provided that such settlement involves only the payment of cash by the Indemnifying Party to the claimant and does not impose any other obligation on the Indemnifying Party or any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party.

Section 6.6 Notice and Procedural Requirements for Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which do not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice thereof in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Agreement; provided, however, that any failure to provide, or delay in providing, such notification shall not constitute a bar or defense to indemnification except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby. After receiving notice of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party rejects such claim or does not respond within such thirty (30) day period (in which case the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such claim), the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Article VI.
