STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (including all Schedules and Exhibits hereto, this “Agreement”) is made as of December 28, 2007, by and among All Points Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxx, the sole stockholders of the Company (each a “Seller” and collectively the “Sellers”), and The Xxxxxxx Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). The Company, Sellers and Buyer are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.” Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Article VIII hereof.

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 1,000 shares of common stock, without par value, of which 100 shares are issued and outstanding and owned beneficially and of record by Sellers (the “Common Stock”).

Buyer desires to acquire from Sellers, and Sellers desire to sell to Buyer, all of the shares of Common Stock owned by Sellers (the “Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK

Stock Purchase. On and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Buyer shall purchase from Sellers, and Sellers shall sell, transfer and assign to Buyer, all of the Shares, free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests, claims, pledges, taxes, options, warrants, rights, contracts, calls, commitments, equities, demands, proxies, voting agreements, restrictions on transfer (other than restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws) and other encumbrances (collectively, “Encumbrances”).

Purchase Price for the Shares.

The aggregate purchase price to be paid for the Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall be an amount equal to (i) $10,500,000, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company existing as of the Closing (if any) (the “Closing Indebtedness”), plus (or minus) (iii) the amount (if any) by which the Company’s Working Capital as shown on the Closing Statement (the “Closing Working Capital”) is greater than (or less than) $10,396,000 (the “Working Capital Target”), as the case may be (the aggregate amount calculated in accordance with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 1.2(a) is referred to herein as the “Cash Purchase Price”); plus (iv) the amount of the Earn-Out Payment (if any).

At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to the Sellers in the manner described in Section 1.3(b) below an amount equal to the Cash Purchase Price as estimated in good faith by Buyer and Sellers not less than two (2) days prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Cash Purchase Price”), less the Escrow Amount.

Closing Transactions.

Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, commencing at 10:00 a.m. local time on the third business day after all of the conditions to closing contained in Article II have been fully satisfied or duly waived (other than those conditions to be satisfied by deliveries made at the Closing), or at such other place or on such other date as may be mutually agreeable to the Buyer and the Sellers. The date and time of the Closing are herein referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Closing Transactions. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties shall consummate the following transactions (the “Closing Transactions”) on the Closing Date:

Sellers shall deliver to Buyer the certificates representing the Shares, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers with all requisite federal, state and local transfer stamps affixed thereto;

Buyer shall deposit the Escrow Amount into escrow with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”);

Buyer shall deliver to Sellers, allocated between the Sellers in accordance with the Schedule 1.3(b)(iii) attached hereto, the Estimated Cash Purchase Price (as determined hereunder at the Closing and as reduced by the Escrow Amount) payable to Sellers in immediately available funds to an account designated by Sellers to Buyer in writing at least two (2) days prior to the Closing Date;

the Company, Sellers and Buyer, as applicable, shall deliver the respective opinions, certificates and other instruments required to be delivered by or on behalf of them under Article II hereof; and

Sellers shall deliver to Buyer all corporate books and records and other property of the Company in Sellers’ possession.

Post-Closing Adjustments.

Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers an audited statement (in its final and binding form as determined below, the “Closing Statement”) setting forth the Closing Working Capital as of the close of business on the day before the Closing Date and setting forth the Closing Indebtedness as of the Closing. The Closing Statement shall include all known adjustments required in a year-end closing of the

-7-

books and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (other than inventory reserves and accounts receivable reserves, which shall be computed in accordance with the Company’s past practices). For the avoidance of doubt, the costs and expenses of preparing the Closing Statement shall be borne by Buyer. Sellers shall cooperate as reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement. During the 30-day period immediately following Sellers’ receipt of the Closing Statement, Sellers shall be permitted to review Buyer’s working papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement and determination of the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties thirty (30) days following Sellers’ receipt thereof, unless Sellers shall give written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any disagreement so asserted. If a timely Notice of Disagreement is received by Buyer, then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with clause (x) or (y) below) shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earliest of (x) the date the parties resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (y) the date all matters in dispute are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm. During the twenty (20) days following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Sellers and Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. Following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and its agents and representatives shall be permitted to review Sellers’ and their representatives’ working papers relating to the Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of the 20-day period referred to above, the matters in dispute have not been fully resolved, then the parties shall submit to Duff & Xxxxxx (the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution of all matters (but only such matters) which remain in dispute, and the Accounting Firm shall make a final determination of the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital to the extent such amounts are in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The parties will cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement. In resolving any matters in dispute, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand. The Accounting Firm’s determination will be based solely on presentations by Sellers and Buyer which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The Closing Statement and the determination of the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital shall become final and binding on the parties on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the parties (which the Accounting Firm shall be instructed to deliver not more than forty-five (45) days following submission of such disputed matters). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated by the Accounting Firm between Sellers and Buyer based on the merits of such party’s claim with respect to such dispute.

If the Estimated Cash Purchase Price is greater than the Cash Purchase Price, Sellers shall, within three (3) business days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, make payment by wire transfer to Buyer, in immediately available funds of the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over 360, from the

-8-

Closing Date to the date of payment. Any amount payable under this Section 1.4(b) shall first be made from the Escrow Amount to the extent of available funds therein prior to any amounts being funded directly by the Sellers.

If the Cash Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Cash Purchase Price, Buyer shall, within three (3) business days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, make payment by wire transfer to Sellers, allocated between the Sellers in accordance with the Schedule 1.3(b)(iii) attached hereto, in immediately available funds of the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over 360, from the Closing Date to the date of payment.

Earn-Out Payment.

Within five (5) days following delivery by the Company’s accountants of the Company’s final audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s Net Sales for such year and a computation of the Earn-Out Payment for such year (the “Earn-Out Statement”). If the Company’s Net Sales for such year exceed the Company’s Net Sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Buyer shall deliver by wire transfer of immediately available funds, allocated between the Sellers in accordance with the Schedule 1.3(b)(iii) attached hereto, to an account designated by Sellers, an aggregate amount equal to $500,000 (the “Earn-Out Payment”). Following the Closing Date, if, prior to December 31, 2008, either Seller’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as such term is defined in the applicable Employment Agreement) or either Seller resigns with Good Reason (as such term is defined in the applicable Employment Agreement), then such Seller shall be entitled to receive such Seller’s portion of the Earn-Out Payment if, at the time of such termination, the Company’s Annualized Net Sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 would exceed the Company’s Net Sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

For purposes of this Section 1.5, if the Company acquires any other business entity after the Closing Date, such other business and the results of its operations shall be kept separate from (i.e. not combined with) the business of the Company for purposes of calculating the amount of the Earn-Out Payment, unless and until Buyer and Sellers reach an agreement as to the basis on which the Net Sales of the acquired business entity are to be included in the Net Sales of the Company. Sellers understand and acknowledge that, from and after the Closing, control of all key business decisions of the Company (including, without limitation, any and all decisions relating to any acquisitions, dispositions, purchases or sales of assets and the timing thereof, capital expenditures and the timing thereof, opening new or closing existing offices, product pricing, employee hiring and retention, subcontracting authority and facilities management) shall be conducted in accordance with the directions of Buyer and that Buyer and its owners may operate the Company’s business in the manner it deems appropriate, regardless of the impact on the Earn-Out Payment; provided however, that Buyer will operate the business, collectively with its other businesses, exercising its reasonable business judgment and shall not take any action which has as its primary purpose the diminution of the Earn-Out Payment.

-9-

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1.5 to the contrary, Buyer shall not be obligated to pay the Earn-Out Payment on the date such payment is otherwise due hereunder if and to the extent that the payment of such amount: (i) would result in a default under any Buyer’s or any of its affiliates’ senior or subordinated debt financing agreements or a default exists thereunder at the time of such contemplated payment; or (ii) is restricted by Applicable Law, then in each case, only for so long as such restriction(s) remain in effect; provided, however, with respect to (i) and (ii) above, if such restriction(s) would not result from the payment of a portion of the Earn-Out Payment, Buyer is obligated to pay the portion of the Earn-Out Payment which it may so purchase. Any amounts due and owing under this Section 1.5 in respect of the Earn-Out Payment that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, calculated from the date such payment is otherwise due hereunder until the actual date of payment. Sellers acknowledge and agree that any failure by Buyer to pay all or any portion of the Earn-Out Payment on the date otherwise due hereunder by virtue of clauses (i) or (ii) above shall not constitute a default under or a breach of this Agreement for any reason. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in clause (i) above, if the Earn-Out Payment is due and payable hereunder, such Earn-Out Payment shall be paid on or prior to May 2, 2011.

Revenue Service Form 8023 or such other forms and schedules as are necessary or required to make the 338(h)(10) Elections, and each covenants and agrees with the other that it shall execute such Form 8023 or other forms and schedules and shall take all such other acts as are necessary to make or perfect such 338(h)(10) Elections. Buyer and Sellers agree that the computation of the Aggregate Deemed Sale Price (“ADSP”) (as defined under Treasury Regulations) and the allocation of the ADSP among the assets as of the Closing Date shall be as reasonably determined by Buyer within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date and as set forth in Schedule 7.2 which shall be attached to this Agreement upon such determination. Buyer, the Company and the Sellers shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with such allocation.

Cooperation on Tax Matters.

Buyer, the Company, and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns (and any amendments to Tax Returns) and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company, Sellers, and Buyers agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

Tax-Sharing Agreements. All tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

Press Releases and Announcements. Prior to the Closing Date, no press releases related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, or other announcements to the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company shall be made without the mutual approval of all Parties, except for any public disclosure which any Party in good faith reasonably believes is required by law or regulation (in which case the disclosure shall be prepared jointly by the Company and Buyer). After the Closing Date, no press releases related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, or other announcements to the employees, customers

-40-

or suppliers of the Company shall be made without Buyer’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Further Assurances. After the Closing, Sellers shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as Buyer may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to Buyer of the Shares and any other transactions contemplated hereby.

Specific Performance. Each Seller acknowledges that the Company’s business is unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Seller, money damages would be inadequate and Buyer would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, each Seller agrees that Buyer shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the Company’s and each Seller’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief.

Transition Assistance. No Seller shall in any manner take any action which is designed, intended, or would be reasonably anticipated to have the effect of discouraging customers, suppliers, lessors, licensors and other business associates from maintaining the same business relationships with the Company after the date of this Agreement as were maintained with the Company prior to the date of this Agreement.

Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, Sellers and Buyer shall pay all of their own respective fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, Sellers shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of the Company incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. At the request of the Sellers, the transaction expenses for which the Sellers are liable pursuant to this Section 7.7 may be deducted from the Purchase Price and paid directly to the Sellers’ legal counsel, investment bankers and other agents and representatives. To the extent that the Company pays or becomes liable with respect to any transaction expenses of the Sellers or the Company, the Purchase Price shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar. Damages suffered by Buyer for a breach of this Agreement shall in no way be limited by the amounts described in this Section 7.7.

Books and Records. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Sellers or Buyer (as the case may be), Buyer and Sellers shall not destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of the Company acquired by Buyer hereunder or retained by Sellers (until such time as such records have been held for seven (7) years) without first offering to surrender to Sellers or Buyer such books and records or any portion thereof of which Sellers or Buyer may intend to destroy, alter or dispose. Buyer and Sellers shall allow the other party’s representatives, attorneys and accountants access to such books and records, upon reasonable request for such access during such party’s normal business hours, for the purpose of examining

-41-

and copying the same in connection with any matter whether or not related to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality.

Non-Competition. In consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price and as a condition precedent to Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), each Seller hereby agrees that he or she shall not engage (whether as an owner, operator, manager, employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, representative or otherwise) directly or indirectly in any business that the Company conducts or proposes to conduct as of the Closing Date anywhere in the United States; provided that ownership of less than 2% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not be deemed to be engaging in any of the Company’s businesses solely by reason thereof. Each Seller acknowledges that the business of the Company is national in scope and that the Company currently sells, or proposes to sell its products and services on a nationwide basis. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 7.9(a) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

Non-Solicitation. Each Seller agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period, such Seller (i) shall not, and shall use his or her commercially reasonable efforts not to permit his or her Affiliates to, directly or indirectly contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) or actually hire any Person employed by the Company at any time prior to the Closing Date or during the Non-Compete Period, without the prior written consent of the Company, and (ii) shall not induce or attempt to induce any customer or other business relation of the Company into any business relationship which would materially harm the Company. The term “indirectly” as used in this Section 7.9 is intended to mean any acts authorized or directed by or on behalf of any Seller or any Person controlled by any Seller.

Confidentiality. Each Seller agrees after the Closing Date, to treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the business and affairs of the Company that is not already generally available to the public (the “Confidential Information”), refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to Buyer or destroy, at the request and option of Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in his or her possession or under his or her control. In the event that any Seller is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller shall notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or

-42-

waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.9(c). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such Seller may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided that such Seller shall use his or her best efforts to obtain, at the request of Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer shall designate.

Trade Name. Each Seller agrees not to use, or permit any of its affiliates to use the “All Points” name, or any name confusingly similar to any such name in any manner after Closing. Nothing in this Section 7.9(d) limits or otherwise changes the rights of the Company in its Intellectual Property.

Remedy for Breach. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by any Seller of any of the provisions of this Section 7.9, monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the Company, Buyer and/or their respective successors or assigns shall, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by the Company or Sellers without the prior written consent of Buyer, or by Buyer (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) without the prior written consent of Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

Buyer may (at any time prior to the Closing), at its sole discretion, assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement to one or more of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (including Subsidiaries which may be organized or acquired subsequent to the date hereof);

Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement for collateral security purposes to any lenders providing financing to Buyer, the Company or any of their affiliates, and any such lender may exercise all of the rights and remedies of the Buyer hereunder; and

Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any subsequent purchaser of the Company or any division thereof or any material portion of its assets (whether such sale is structured as a sale of stock, a sale of assets, a merger or otherwise).

Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be

-49-

ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The term “including” is used herein to introduce one or more examples and shall not be deemed to constitute a limitation of any term or provision hereof.

Captions. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no caption had been used in this Agreement.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements, instruments and certificates referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by virtue of this Agreement, except for the indemnification rights under Section 6.2 for the Buyer Parties.

Schedules and Exhibits. The Schedules and Exhibits constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes. Nothing in any Schedule attached hereto shall be adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement unless such Schedule identifies the exceptions with particularity, references the specific section or subsection to which it relates and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement, unless the representation or warranty covers the existence of such document or such other item itself.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH PARTY

-50-

HAVING HAD OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL), EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PROPERLY (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY) LIE IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR HIMSELF OR HERSELF AND IN RESPECT OF HIS OR HER PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OF ANY PROCESS REQUIRED BY ANY SUCH COURT SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND LAWFUL SERVICE OF PROCESS AGAINST THEM, WITHOUT NECESSITY FOR SERVICE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR RULE OF COURT.
