Each Seller shall be entitled to receive the amount of cash and the number of shares of Purchaser Stock allocated to such Seller pursuant to Section 1.3.

1.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Sellers as set forth in Schedule 1.3 (which allocation is based on the pro rata share of the Company Stock owned by each Seller).

1.4 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) Cash Portion.

At the Closing, each of the Sellers and the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser (a) the certificates for the issued and outstanding shares of Company Stock owned by each Seller, duly endorsed for transfer or with stock powers executed in blank and (b) the certificates, opinions and other agreements and instruments contemplated by Article VI hereof and the other provisions of this Agreement.

1.8 Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(a) At the Closing, the Representative shall deliver to Purchaser an estimate of the Company’s Working Capital (as hereinafter defined) at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Calculation Date Working Capital”), together with a schedule setting forth his calculation thereof. If the Calculation Date Working Capital is greater than (i.e. less negative than) a working capital deficit of (-$1,588,462) (the “Target Working Capital”), the Purchase Price shall be increased on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of the difference between the Calculation Date Working Capital and the Target Working Capital. If the

Calculation Date Working Capital is less than (i.e. more negative than) the Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be decreased on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of the difference between the Target Working Capital and the Calculation Date Working Capital. As used in this Section 1.8, (i) “Working Capital” means, as of the date at which the calculation is made, the sum of (A) current assets excluding cash plus (B) $616,438 representing 3-Day check float minus (C) current liabilities minus (D) the aggregate amount of checks outstanding at such date that were issued in payment of accounts payable, determined in a manner consistent with the methodology used in Exhibit A. During the period prior to the Closing Date, the Company will continue to use practices consistent with those used by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to working capital, including collections and disbursements practices and procedures.

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days thereafter (the “30-Day Period”), the Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Representative an unaudited balance sheet of the Company at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) together with a schedule setting forth the actual Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”) calculated in a manner consistent with the calculation of the Calculation Date Working Capital. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Seller and the Unaudited Financial Statements (as defined in Section 2.7(b)).

(c) On the fifteenth (15th) day after the date on which the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital schedule have been delivered to the Representative (or such earlier date as the Representative notifies the Purchaser in writing), if the Closing Working Capital is not disputed by the Representative pursuant to Section 1.8(e) hereof, (i) if the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Calculation Date Working Capital, then the Purchaser shall immediately pay to each Seller his portion, based on the relative ownership of the outstanding shares of Company Stock, of the amount by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Calculation Date Working Capital (the “Working Capital Surplus”), and (ii) if the Calculation Date Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital (such excess amount being the “Working Capital Deficit”), then each Seller shall immediately pay to the Purchaser his pro rata portion, based on the relative ownership of the outstanding shares of Company Stock, of the Working Capital Deficit. If the Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice (as defined in Section 1.8(e)) to the Purchaser within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital schedule to the Representative (the “15-Day Period”), the Closing Balance Sheet and the amount of Closing Working Capital derived therefrom shall be deemed accepted in all respects by the Representative and shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto with the effects set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection (c).

(d) During the 15-Day Period, the Purchaser agrees to furnish to the Representative and its accountants and agents full access to all working papers, books, records, financial data, calculations and other documentation used in the preparation of the proposed Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital.

(e) If the Representative disputes the Closing Balance Sheet (or any component thereof) or the calculation of the Closing Working Capital shown on the Closing Balance Sheet (or any component thereof), the Representative shall give written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to the Purchaser within the 15-Day Period, which Dispute Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the matters and the reasons for such dispute and the amount(s) in dispute. If the Representative and the Purchaser are unable to resolve the disputed matters within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Purchaser of the Dispute Notice, all disputed matters raised in the Dispute Notice and not so resolved (the “Disputed Matters”) shall be submitted to a recognized independent accounting firm with offices located within 100 miles of Wilmington, Delaware, as is chosen by mutual agreement of the Representative and the Purchaser acting in good faith (such firm which accepts the engagement, the “Independent Auditor”), for final resolution in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Representative shall use their respective best efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to make its determination as to the resolution of the Disputed Matters (the “Auditor Determination”) as soon as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Disputed Matters. The Independent Auditor shall be obligated to follow the Purchase Price adjustment terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and shall not be entitled to award an amount greater than the greatest value claimed by either party or less than the least amount claimed by either party. The Auditor Determination shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto and shall be limited to Disputed Matters. The Auditor Determination shall be reflected in a written report which shall be delivered promptly by the Independent Auditor to the Representative and the Purchaser. One-half of all fees and disbursements of the Independent Auditor shall be paid by the Purchaser and one-half of such fees and disbursements shall be paid by the Sellers. Any payment to be made as a consequence of the Auditor Determination by the Independent Auditor shall be made, in accordance with the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 1.8(c), free and clear of any deductions or set-off, not later than three business days after the receipt of the Auditor Determination by the Representative on behalf of Sellers and the Purchaser.

(f) All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 1.8 shall be paid by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds.

1.9 Twelve-Month Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) If the average of the amounts of Working Capital (the “Average Working Capital”) of the Company calculated on the last day of each month for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2008 (the “Measurement Period”) in a manner consistent with the methodology in Exhibit B is greater than (i.e., less negative than) a working capital deficit of $1,588,462 (-1,588,462), the Sellers shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such difference but not in excess of $500,000. To provide a fund for the payment amounts due to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.9, at the Closing, the Sellers shall deposit in escrow the aggregate amount of $500,000 (the “Working Capital Escrow Funds”), allocated among the Sellers as set forth in Schedule 1.9 , to be held until the amount of the Average Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.9, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement to be entered into at the Closing between the Purchaser, the Sellers and Continental, as Escrow Agent, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”). During the period between the Closing Date and the end of the Measurement

Period, the Purchaser will cause the Company to use practices consistent with those used by the Company prior to the Closing Date with respect to working capital, including collections and disbursements practices and procedures.

(b) As promptly as practicable following the end of the Measurement Period, but in no event later than twenty (20) days thereafter (the “20-Day Period”), the Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Representative its calculation of the Average Working Capital, calculated in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Seller.

(c) On the fifteenth (15th) day after the date on which the Purchaser’s calculation of the Average Working Capital shall have been delivered to the Representative (or such earlier date as the Representative notifies the Purchaser in writing), (i) if the Average Working Capital as so calculated by the Purchaser is less than (i.e., more negative than) a working capital deficit of $1,588,462 (-$1,588,462), the Purchaser shall authorize the Escrow Agent to pay to the Representative the full amount of the Working Capital Escrow Fund or (ii) if the Average Working Capital as so calculated by the Purchaser is greater than a working capital deficit of $1,588,462 (-$1,588,462), and is not disputed by the Representative, then the Purchaser shall authorize the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchaser the amount of such difference from the Working Capital Escrow Fund and to deliver the balance of the Working Capital Escrow Fund, if any, to the Representative. If the Representative does not deliver a Working Capital Dispute Notice (as defined in Section 1.9(d)) to the Purchaser within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Purchaser’s calculation of the Average Working Capital to the Representative (the “10-Day Period”), the Average Working Capital as calculated by the Purchaser shall be deemed accepted in all respects by the Representative and shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto with the effects set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection (c).

If the Representative disputes the calculation of the Average Working Capital as calculated by the Purchaser, the Representative shall give written notice (the “Working Capital Dispute Notice”) to the Purchaser within the 10-Day Period, which Working Capital Dispute Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the matters and the reasons for such dispute and the amount(s) in dispute. If the Representative and the Purchaser are unable to resolve the disputed matters within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Purchaser of the Working Capital Dispute Notice, all disputed matters raised in the Working Capital Dispute Notice and not so resolved (the “Working Capital Disputed Matters”) shall be submitted to the Independent Auditor determined in the manner set forth in Section 1.8(e) for final resolution in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Representative shall use their respective best efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to make its determination as to the resolution of the Working Capital Disputed Matters (the “Auditor Working Capital Determination”) as soon as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Working Capital Disputed Matters. The Independent Auditor shall be obligated to follow the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement regarding the determination of Average Working Capital and shall not be entitled to award an amount greater than the greatest value claimed by either party or less than the least amount claimed by either party. The Auditor Working Capital Determination shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto and shall be limited to Working Capital Disputed Matters. The Auditor Working Capital Determination shall be reflected in a written report which shall be delivered promptly by the Independent Auditor to the Representative and the Purchaser.

One-half of all fees and disbursements of the Independent Auditor shall be paid by the Purchaser and one-half of such fees and disbursements shall be paid by the Sellers. Any payment to be made as a consequence of the Auditor Working Capital Determination by the Independent Auditor shall be made, in accordance with the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 1.9(c), free and clear of any deductions or set-off, not later than three business days after the receipt of the Auditor Working Capital Determination by the Representative on behalf of Sellers and the Purchaser.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification of the Purchaser.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII (including without limitation the limitations set forth in Section 7.4), the Purchaser, the Company and their respective representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by the Sellers, but, except as otherwise provided for herein, only to the extent of the Indemnity Escrow Funds, from and against all Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee by reason of, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Sellers or the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, any Schedule or any certificate delivered by the Sellers or the Company to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement with respect hereto or thereto in connection with the Closing;

(ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of the Sellers or the Company contained in this Agreement;

(iii) [intentionally omitted];

(iv) costs in excess of $120,000 incurred by the Company in payment of, or reasonably reserved by the Company for the payment of, workers’ compensation claims arising out of events occurring prior to the Closing Date.

(b) As used in this Article VII, the term “Losses” shall include all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, orders, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, court costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses) including those arising from any demands, claims, suits, actions, costs of investigation, notices of violation or noncompliance, causes of action, proceedings and assessments whether or not made by third parties or whether or not ultimately determined to be valid. Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses (and not for determining any breach) for which a Purchaser Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VII, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that is qualified by a term or terms such as “material,” “materially,” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed made or given without such qualification and without giving effect to such words.

7.2 Indemnification of Third Party Claims. The indemnification obligations and liabilities under this Article VII with respect to actions, proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, demands or other claims brought against the Purchaser by a Person other than the Sellers or the Company (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Notice of Claim. The Purchaser will give the Representative prompt written notice after receiving written notice of any Third Party Claim or discovering the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (a “Notice of Claim”) which Notice of Third Party Claim shall set forth (i) a brief description of the nature of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the total amount of the actual out-of-pocket Loss or the anticipated potential Loss (including any costs or expenses which have been or may be reasonably incurred in connection therewith), and (iii) whether such Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be covered under such insurance, and the Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of Third Party Claim at its expense.

(b) Defense. The Representative shall have the right, at its option (subject to the limitations set forth in subsection 7.2(c) below) and at its own expense, by written notice to the Purchaser, to assume the entire control of, subject to the right of the Purchaser to participate (at its expense and with counsel of its choice) in, the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim as to which such Notice of Claim has been given, and shall be entitled to appoint a recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense. If the Representative is permitted and elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim:

(i) the Representative shall diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim and shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of such defense; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right to approve any settlement that requires any relief other than the payment of money in amounts not exceeding the amount of Indemnity Escrow Funds that are not reserved for the payment of unresolved Claims, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned; and

(ii) the Purchaser shall cooperate fully in all respects with the Representative in any such defense, compromise or settlement thereof, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, and the Purchaser shall make available to the Representative all pertinent information and documents under its control.

(c) Limitations of Right to Assume Defense. The Representative shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Purchaser; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Purchaser other than as a result of money damages or other money payments.

(d) Other Limitations. Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any Third Party Claim by the Purchaser against the Sellers and shall not affect the Sellers’ duty or obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of the Representative to defend against or reduce Sellers’ liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which the Sellers obligated to be greater than such damages would have

been had the Purchaser given the Representative prompt notice hereunder. So long as the Representative is defending any such action actively and in good faith, the Purchaser shall not settle such action. The Purchaser shall make available to the Representative all relevant records and other relevant materials required by Representative’s possession or under the control of the Purchaser, for the use of the Representative and its representatives in defending any such action, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

(e) Failure to Defend. If the Representative, promptly after receiving a Notice of Claim, fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, the Purchaser will (upon further written notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it may determine in its reasonable discretion, provided that the Representative shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned.

(f) Purchaser’s Rights. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Representative shall not, without the written consent of the Purchaser, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Purchaser of a full and unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such action without any payment by the Purchaser.

(g) Representative Consent. Unless the Representative has consented to a settlement of a Third Party Claim, the amount of the settlement shall not be a binding determination of the amount of the Loss and such amount shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

7.3 Insurance Effect. To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are covered by insurance, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that the Purchaser shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII in respect of such Losses and the time limitations set forth in Section 7.4 hereof for bringing a claim of indemnification under this Agreement shall be tolled during the pendency of such insurance claim. The existence of a claim by the Purchaser for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by the Representative. If the Purchaser has received the payment required by this Agreement from the Representative in respect of any Loss and later receives proceeds from insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Representative and shall pay to the Representative, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such proceeds or other amount received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Representative pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Survival; Time Limitation. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any writing delivered by the Sellers or the Company to the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement (including the certificate required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3(a)) and the obligation of the Sellers to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iv) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the Indemnity Escrow Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Sellers and the Company in each of Section 1.10 (Certain Seller Matters), Section 2.1(a) (Organization), Section 2.2(b) (Subsidiaries), Section 2.3 (Capitalization) and Section 2.4 (Authority Relative to this Agreement) shall survive without limitation as to time and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Sellers in each of Sections 2.14 (Title to Property) and 2.15 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing until the sixtieth day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The obligation of the Sellers to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iv) shall be in lieu of any other obligation of the Sellers to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any representation or warranty of the Sellers and the Company relating to workers’ compensation claims.

(b) No claim for indemnification under this Article VII shall be brought after the end of the relevant period specified in Section 7.4(a). Any claim made by a Purchaser Indemnitee that is required to be made and is made prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Escrow Period shall be preserved despite the subsequent expiration of the Indemnity Escrow Period and any such claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Escrow Period shall survive until final resolution thereof.

(c) Deductible. No amount shall be payable under Article VII unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable exceeds $375,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such claims exceed the Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Losses resulting with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants referred to in the next-to-last sentence of Section 7.4(a) (“Surviving Matters”) and payments required to be made pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iv) shall not be included in the calculation of the Deductible and a Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to such Losses and payments as though there were no Deductible.

(d) Aggregate Amount Limitation. Except with respect to Losses arising from the Surviving Matters, the aggregate liability of the Sellers for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1 shall not in any event exceed the Indemnity Escrow Funds and the Purchaser shall have no claim against the Sellers other than for the Indemnity Escrow Funds. With respect to Losses arising from the Surviving Matters, the aggregate liability of the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.1 shall not in any event exceed the Purchase Price.

7.5 Exclusive Remedy. The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and all other the Purchaser Indemnitees, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set forth in

this Article VII. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article VII shall in any way impair, modify or otherwise limit the Purchaser’s or the Company’s right to bring any claim, demand or suit against the other party based upon such other party’s actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, it being understood that a mere breach of a representation and warranty, without intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, does not constitute fraud.

7.6 Adjustment to Purchase Price. Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by a Legal Requirement.

7.7 Representative Capacities; Application of Indemnity Escrow Funds. The parties acknowledge that the Representative’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a representative of the Sellers in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement with respect to the obligations to indemnify the Purchaser under this Article VII and that the Representative shall have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by him in such capacity and that all payments to the Purchaser as a result of such indemnification obligations shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Indemnity Escrow Funds. Out-of-pocket expenses of the Representative for attorneys’ fees and other costs shall be borne in the first instance by the Purchaser, which may make a claim for reimbursement thereof against the Indemnity Escrow Funds upon the claim with respect to which such expenses are incurred becoming an Established Claim (as defined in the Escrow Agreement). The Escrow Agent, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement after the Closing, may apply all or a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Funds to satisfy any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. The Escrow Agent will hold the remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Funds until final resolution of all claims for indemnification or disputes relating thereto.

ARTICLE VIII

Reference to the Subsidiaries of an entity shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such entity. For purposes of this Agreement:

(a) “Material Adverse Effect” when used in connection with an entity means any change, event, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect, individually or when aggregated with other changes, events, violations, inaccuracies, circumstances or effects, that is materially adverse to the business, assets (including intangible assets), revenues, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of such entity, it being understood that none of the following alone or in combination shall be deemed, in and of itself, to constitute a Material Adverse Effect: (i) changes attributable to the public announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) changes in general national or regional economic conditions;

(b) “Legal Requirements” means any federal, state, local, municipal, foreign or other law, statute, constitution, principle of common law, resolution, ordinance, code, edict, decree, rule, regulation, ruling or requirement issued, enacted, adopted, promulgated, implemented or otherwise put into effect by or under the authority of any Governmental Entity and all requirements set forth in applicable Company Contracts or the Purchaser Contracts;

10.3 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement and each other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the consummation thereof, may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same document and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery by facsimile to counsel for the other party of a counterpart executed by a party shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the letter of intent between the Purchaser and the Company dated April 10, 2007 is hereby terminated in its entirety and shall be of no further force and effect (except to the extent expressly stated to survive the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby); and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder (except as specifically provided in this Agreement).

10.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.6 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions

of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

10.8 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto 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.

10.9 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties, except that the Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder to a wholly-owned subsidiary formed for such purpose; provided that no such assignment by the Purchaser shall relieve the Purchaser of its obligations and liabilities hereunder. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 10.9, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.10 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

10.11 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

10.12 Arbitration. Any disputes or claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Notice of a demand to arbitrate a dispute by either party shall be given in writing to the other at their last known address. Arbitration shall be commenced by the filing by a party of an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in its office in Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitration and resolution of the dispute shall be resolved by a single arbitrator appointed by the AAA pursuant to AAA rules. The arbitration shall in all respects be governed and conducted by applicable AAA rules, and any award and/or decision shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator shall supply a written opinion supporting any award, and

judgment may be entered on the award in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall pay its own fees and expenses for the arbitration, except that any costs and charges imposed by the AAA and any fees of the arbitrator for his services shall be assessed against the losing party by the arbitrator. In the event that preliminary or permanent injunctive relief is necessary or desirable in order to prevent a party from acting contrary to this Agreement or to prevent irreparable harm prior to a confirmation of an arbitration award, then either party is authorized and entitled to commence a lawsuit solely to obtain equitable relief against the other pending the completion of the arbitration in a court having jurisdiction over the parties. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York, New York County, for such purpose. All rights and remedies of the parties shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies obtainable from arbitration.
