Section 2.06 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Closing Working Capital Adjustment.

(i) Within 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer (A) a statement setting forth its calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital, which statement shall be substantially in the form of Section 2.06(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement”), and (B) a certificate of the chief financial officer of Seller that the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures used by Seller in preparing the Balance Sheet. Seller will grant Buyer and Buyer’s accountants

full access to the relevant books and records of Seller, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Seller and/or Seller’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information relating to the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement, provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Seller. If Buyer raises any objections to the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement, Buyer and Seller shall in good faith attempt to resolve any objections prior to the Closing, and Seller shall make such revisions to the disputed items as may be mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller.

(ii) At the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be (A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital or (B) decreased by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital.

(b) Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment.

(i) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller (A) a statement setting forth its calculation of Actual Closing Working Capital and setting forth in reasonable detail by item and amount the basis for any differences between the Actual Closing Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Working Capital, which statement shall be substantially in the form of Section 2.06(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Actual Closing Working Capital Statement”), and (B) a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Buyer that the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in a consistent manner with the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures used by Seller in preparing the Balance Sheet.

(ii) The “Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Actual Closing Working Capital minus the Estimated Closing Working Capital. If the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment is a negative number, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement, Seller shall have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Seller and Seller’s accountants shall have full access to the relevant books and records of Buyer, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer and/or Buyer’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Actual Closing Working Capital

Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment reflected in the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment and the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections within the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to KPMG LLP, or if KPMG LLP cannot accept the engagement then the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants, which shall be appointed by the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accountants”), who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment and the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement, as the case may be. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants. Seller shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of Buyer (that being the difference between the Independent Accountants’ determination and Seller’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants

(that being the sum total by which Buyer’s determination and Seller’s determination differ from the determination of the Independent Accountants). Buyer shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants that Seller is not required to pay hereunder.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Actual Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(vi) Payments of Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within 10 Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Actual Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within 10 Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be. The amount of any Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of interest reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(d) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.07 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price as finally determined shall be allocated among the Seller’s tangible and intangible assets as of the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP, the Code, and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate) and shall be set forth in a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). In the event the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 6.02 or 6.03 of this Agreement or Section 7 of the employment contracts executed and delivered by and between the individual Partners and Buyer to be effective upon the Closing is in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate, Buyer shall pay to Seller as additional Purchase Price an amount equal to (i) the excess amount of any such allocation over $250,000 multiplied by (ii) 21%. Any such amount shall be paid to Seller in accordance with the terms of Section 2.08(h). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Buyer and delivered to Seller within 90 days following the Closing Date. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute

with respect to the Allocation Schedule, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants in respect of disputes pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be borne by the party whose position varies the most financially from the Independent Accountants’ position. ISG, Buyer, Seller and the Partners each hereby covenant and agree that they each will not take a position on any tax return, before any governmental agency charged with the collection of any tax, or in any judicial proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with the terms of this Section 2.07, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or corresponding provision of relevant state or local law.

Section 2.08 Earn-Out Payments. Buyer shall pay, as part of the Purchase Price, to Seller contingent payments (the “Earn-Out Payments”) to be determined as follows:

(a) 2011 Earn-Out. With respect to calendar year 2011, Buyer shall pay to Seller cash in an amount equal to $2.00 for every $1.00 in Revenue in excess of $9,000,000 (the “2011 Earn-Out Payment”); provided that (i) the maximum 2011 Earn-Out Payment shall not exceed $2,000,000 and (ii) the 2011 Earn-Out Payment shall only be paid if all approvals, consents and waivers required by a Contract and identified as material on Section 4.03 of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Consents”) shall have been received and executed counterparts shall have been delivered to Buyer on or prior to December 31, 2011; provided however that if Revenue continues to be or is received or recognized by Seller or Buyer or ISG or any Affiliate of either of them (such Revenue being subject to Section 2.11) under any Contract despite the lack of a Consent, Buyer hereby waives the requirement that it be delivered a Consent for such Contract by December 31, 2011. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Seller does not obtain all Consents by December 31, 2011 and Revenue is not received or recognized by Seller or Buyer or ISG or any Affiliate of either of them under the Contracts requiring Consents on or before December 31, 2011 but for which any of such Consents was not obtained on or before December 31, 2011, then in such event, (x) if Revenue in calendar year 2011 is equal to or greater than $15,000,000, Buyer shall pay to Seller $2,000,000 as the 2011 Earn-Out Payment; (y) if Revenue in calendar year 2011 is less than $15,000,000 but greater than $10,000,000, Buyer shall pay to Seller as the 2011 Earn-Out Payment an amount equal to the product of $2,000,000 multiplied by the percentage calculated by dividing the 2011 calendar year Revenue by $16,000,000; and (z) if Revenue in calendar year 2011 is less than $10,000,000, the 2011 Earn-Out Payment shall be the lesser of (I) the amount calculated in clause (y) above and (II) the 2011 Earn-Out Payment assuming Consents have been received and delivered. For the avoidance of doubt but not as a limitation, assuming all Consents have been received and delivered by December 31, 2011, if Revenues for fiscal year 2011 are $9,000,000 or less, then the 0000 Xxxx-Xxx Payment will be $0 and if Revenues for fiscal year 2011 are $10,000,000 or greater, then the 0000 Xxxx-Xxx Payment will be $2,000,000.

(b) Part I 2012-2015 Earn-Out. With respect to fiscal years 2012 through 2015, Buyer shall pay to Seller in cash an amount equal to (the “Part I Earn-Out Payments”):

(i) if EBITDA for such fiscal year is $2,200,000 or less, then the Part I Earn-Out Payment for such fiscal year will be $0; and

(ii) if EBITDA for such fiscal year is greater than $2,200,000 (but equal to or less than $2,700,000), the dollar amount of the excess above $2,200,000 multiplied by 2.5; provided that no Part I Earn-Out Payment for any fiscal year from 2012 through 2015 shall exceed $1,250,000; provided further that the cumulative total of all Part I Earn-Out Payments for fiscal years 2012 through 2015 shall not exceed $3,750,000. For example, for any fiscal year from 2012 through 2015, if EBITDA is (i) $2,100,000, the Part I Earn-Out Payment for such fiscal year will be $0; (ii) $2,600,000, the Part I Earn-Out Payment for such fiscal year will be $1,000,000; and (iii) $2,800,000, the Part I Earn-Out Payment for such fiscal year will be $1,250,000. For purpose of calculations pursuant to this Section 2.08(b)(ii), EBITDA shall be calculated with the Partners’ compensation collectively set at $600,000.

(c) Part II 2012-2015 Earn-Out. With respect to fiscal years 2012 through 2015, if EBITDA for such fiscal year is greater than $2,700,000, Buyer shall pay to Seller, in addition to the Part I Earn-Out Payment for such fiscal year, an amount in cash (the “Part II Earn-Out Payments”) equal to 30% of the excess above $2,700,000; provided that the cumulative total of all Part II Earn-Out Payments for fiscal years 2012 through 2015 shall not exceed $2,000,000. For example, for any fiscal year from 2012 through 2015, if EBITDA is (i) $2,700,000 or less, the Part II Earn-Out Payment for such fiscal year will be $0; and (ii) $3,000,000, the Part II Earn-Out Payment for such fiscal year will be $90,000. For purpose of the calculations set forth this Section 2.08(c), EBITDA shall be calculated with the Partners’ compensation set at accrued compensation received in such fiscal year.

(d) EBITDA Calculation. For purposes of this Section 2.08, “EBITDA” means, for any period, the net earnings of the Business from continuing operations excluding expenses from interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, calculated in accordance with GAAP as if the Business were being operated as a separate, stand-alone business and excluding the following: (i) any “extraordinary items” (as that term is defined by GAAP) of gain or loss during the period; (ii) any gains or losses realized from the sale of any assets other than in the ordinary course of business; (iii) any Earn-Out Payments or issuance of the ISG Shares; (iv) any Overhead in excess of the Overhead Amount; and (v) any legal or accounting fees or expenses arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Deferral of Earn Out Payment. In the event that a Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs under the Credit Agreement which

constitutes an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and such Event of Default exists at the time any Earn-Out Payment is to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08(h) or would exist immediately after giving effect to such Earn-Out Payment, Buyer may, upon written notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail such Event of Default and the steps Buyer is taking to remedy such Event of Default, delay making such payment until the aforementioned condition no longer exists and such payment shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as published in The Wall Street Journal plus 3.5%. Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cure or clear such Default or Event of Default or obtain a waiver that would permit Buyer to make such Earn-Out Payment when due or as soon as possible thereafter. If such Earn-Out Payment is not paid on or before 180 days after the date on which such Earn-Out Payment was to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08(h), such payment and, to the extent permitted by law, any accrued interest in respect of such Earn-Out Payment shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR as published in The Wall Street Journal plus 5.5%.

(f) ISG Shares.

(i) At the Closing, ISG will grant an aggregate of 250,000 restricted shares of ISG common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ISG Shares”), to the Partners, allocated as follows: Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx — 142,500 ISG Shares; Xxxx Xxxx — 57,500 ISG Shares; and Xxxxxx Xxxx — 50,000 ISG Shares. The ISG Shares are unvested and subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. The ISG Shares shall vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture if the Commercial ERP Revenue is at least $10,000,000 for a trailing 12-month period on or before December 31, 2015 (the “ERP Revenue Trigger”).

(ii) Until the ISG Shares vest in accordance with Section 2.08(f)(i), such shares may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, disposed of or encumbered. Any such attempted sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, hypothecation, transfer, disposition or encumbrance shall be void and ISG shall not be bound thereby.

(iii) The ISG Shares shall be automatically forfeited by the recipient thereof, shall be cancelled immediately by ISG and shall be no longer outstanding for any purpose whatsoever upon a final determination pursuant to Section 2.08(h) that the ERP Trigger Event has not occurred (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). ISG shall have no further obligation to the recipient of such ISG Shares with respect to any ISG Shares so forfeited and cancelled.

(g) Post-Closing Conduct of Business. Through December 31, 2015, (i) Buyer and ISG will continue to operate and maintain Buyer as a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of ISG under the “STA Consulting” name; (ii) Buyer and ISG shall conduct and operate the Business in the ordinary course of business; (iii) neither ISG nor Buyer shall take any action the primary purpose of which is to reduce the opportunity of the Seller or the Partners to achieve the Earn-Out

Payments or the vesting of the ISG Shares set forth in Section 2.08. For 2011, the funding of the marketing, sales and service efforts of the Business shall be in accordance with past practice. All revenue (as recognized in accordance with GAAP) attributable to the conduct of the Business or the efforts of Partners in assisting Buyer, ISG or any of their respective Affiliates or other subsidiaries in generating business/and or clients shall be deemed Revenue and Commercial ERP Revenue for purposes of calculating the Earn-Out Payments and determining satisfaction of the ERP Revenue Trigger. For the avoidance of doubt, all revenue of Buyer, ISG or any of their respective Affiliates from the states of Louisiana or West Virginia, or any political subdivision of either state, or any department, agency or bureau of any of the foregoing after a referral or introduction by any of the Partners, shall be deemed Revenue and Commercial ERP Revenue.

(h) Payment and Dispute Procedures.

(i) Promptly after Buyer receives the ISG consolidated audited financial statements for the twelve-month period for each earn-out period and no later than 90 days after the end of the twelve-month period for each earn-out period, Buyer will deliver to Seller a notice setting forth Buyer’s determination of Revenue or EBITDA, as applicable, for the applicable earn-out period and stating whether Seller is entitled to the applicable Earn-Out Payment. If the notice provides that Seller is entitled to an Earn-Out Payment, and Seller does not timely dispute such amount, Buyer shall make the applicable Earn-Out Payment by the later of (A) March 31 of the year following the applicable earn-out period and (B) within 10 Business Days of the notice. If the notice provides that Seller is not entitled to an Earn-Out Payment, or if Seller otherwise disagrees with Buyer’s determination, Seller shall notify Buyer no later than 30 calendar days after the applicable notice is delivered of its objections and the basis therefor. Failure of Seller to notify Buyer of concurrence or disagreement with the matters set forth in the notice within 30 calendar days after delivery of the notice shall be deemed to be concurrence. If an objection is made, Buyer and Seller will negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement regarding the matters in dispute; provided that Buyer shall pay to Seller the undisputed amount in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 2.08(h)(i). Buyer agrees to provide Seller promptly upon request with all reasonable documents related to Buyer’s calculations for the applicable earn-out period. If Buyer and Seller, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve all matters in dispute within 15 Business Days after Seller advises Buyer of its objections, then any remaining disputed matters will be finally and conclusively determined by the Independent Accountants and the Independent Accountants’ determination shall be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Independent Accountants will determine (based solely on presentations by Buyer and Seller and not by independent review) only those matters in dispute and will render a written report as to the disputed matters, which report will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding upon the parties. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be paid by the parties in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.06(c)(iv). If the Independent Accountants’

report indicates that Seller is entitled to an Earn-Out Payment, Buyer shall make such payment to Seller or if the Partners have notified Buyer that Seller has been dissolved, to Seller’s Partners in accordance with the “Proportionate Interests” within 10 Business Days of the issuance of such report. “Proportionate Interests” shall mean that any amounts which shall be paid to the Partners as an Earn-Out Payment shall be paid in the following percentages: 57% to Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx; 23% to Xxxx Xxxx; and 20% to Xxxxxx Xxxx.

(ii) Upon satisfaction or non-satisfaction of the ERP Revenue Trigger, Buyer shall deliver to the Partners written notification of such event. If the notice provides that ERP Revenue Trigger has been satisfied, the notice will indicate that ISG Shares have vested in accordance with Section 2.08(f). If the notice provides that ERP Revenue Trigger has not been satisfied, the Partners shall notify Buyer no later than 30 calendar days after such notice is delivered of its objections and the basis therefor. Failure of the Partners to notify Buyer of concurrence or disagreement with the matters set forth in the notice within 15 Business Days after delivery of the notice shall be deemed to be concurrence. If an objection is made, Buyer and the Partners will negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement regarding the matters in dispute. Buyer agrees to provide the Partners promptly upon request with all reasonable documents related to Buyer’s calculations relating to the ERP Revenue Trigger. If Buyer and the Partners, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve all matters in dispute within 15 Business Days after the Partners advise Buyer of their objections, then any remaining disputed matters will be finally and conclusively determined by the Independent Accountants and the Independent Accountants’ determination shall be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Independent Accountants will determine (based solely on presentations by Buyer and the Partners and not by independent review) only those matters in dispute and will render a written report as to the disputed matters, which report will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding upon the parties. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be paid by the parties in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.06(c)(iv). If the Independent Accountants’ report indicates that the Partners are entitled to vesting of the ISG Shares, the ISG Shares will be deemed to have vested, in accordance with Section 2.08(f), as of the date of satisfaction of the ERP Revenue Trigger.

Section 2.09 Set-Off. At Buyer’s sole option, upon fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice, any amounts owing and payable by Seller or any Partner to Buyer may be set-off against any Earn-Out Payments owing and payable by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 2.08, such that only a net amount shall be paid by Buyer to Seller; provided, however, that if Seller or any Partner disputes any payment owing and payable by Seller or any Partner to Buyer, any amount that is the subject of such dispute shall be placed in an escrow account with Fifth Third Bank or another third-party escrow agent mutually agreed upon by the parties pursuant to an escrow agreement to be mutually agreed upon by the parties until resolution of such dispute.

COVENANTS

Section 6.01 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) Commencing on the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate all Employees of the Business who are actively at work on the Closing Date, and, at Buyer’s sole discretion, Buyer shall offer employment to all of such Employees (any such Employees, the “Continuing Employees”). Employment offered to the

Continuing Employees will be “at will” and may be terminated by Buyer or by such Continuing Employee at any time, with or without cause or advance notice (subject to any written agreements to the contrary made between Buyer and such Continuing Employee). Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, engage in any activity intended to discourage any Employee from accepting an offer of employment from Buyer.

(b) Seller shall be solely responsible, and Buyer shall have no obligations whatsoever, for any compensation or other amounts payable to any Employee (or former Employee) of Seller, including, without limitation, hourly pay, commission, bonus, salary, accrued vacations, fringe, pension or profit sharing benefits, or severance pay payable to any Employee (or former Employee) of Seller for any period relating to the service with Seller at any time on or prior to the Closing Date and Seller shall pay all such amounts to all entitled Employees on or prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Except as specifically set forth in Section 6.01(d), Seller shall remain solely responsible for the satisfaction of all claims for medical, dental, life insurance, health, accident or disability benefits brought by or in respect of Employees (or former Employees) or agents of Seller which claims relate to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller also shall remain solely responsible for all worker’s compensation claims of any Employees (or former Employees) or agents of Seller which relate to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.

Buyer will cause to be waived, except to the extent that

such waiver is prohibited by applicable Law, any waiting period and preexisting condition limitations applicable to Continuing Employees under any group health plan maintained by Buyer in which Continuing Employees are otherwise permitted to participate to the extent such limitations did not apply under similar plans of Seller, and Buyer will grant to Continuing Employees credit after the Closing Date for any period with Seller for purposes of any waiting period and preexisting condition limitation applicable to such Continuing Employees under any group health plan maintained by Buyer in which such Continuing Employees are otherwise permitted to participate to the extent such period was taken into account in satisfying any waiting period or preexisting condition limitation under similar plans of Seller. Buyer will take all action necessary to ensure that Continuing Employees are given full credit for all expenses and deductibles incurred under any group health plan sponsored by Seller for the portion of the plan year preceding the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying any maximum out-of-pocket expense limitations, coinsurance, copayments, deductibles and similar limitations for the remainder of that plan year under any group health plan sponsored by Buyer in which Continuing Employees participate after the Closing.

If Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller shall cooperate with Buyer if Buyer seeks to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and each Partner may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Seller or any such Partner is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Seller and each Partner shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) hire or solicit any person who is offered employment by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or is or was employed in the Business during the Restricted Period or (ii) encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 6.03(b) shall prevent Seller or any Partner or any of their respective Affiliates from hiring (x) any employee whose employment has been terminated by Buyer or (y) after 180 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(c) If Seller or any Partner breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 6.03, Buyer shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Buyer under law or in equity:

(d) Each of Seller and the Partners acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.03 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to

enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.03 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.03 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(e) With respect to each Partner, the restrictions contained in this Section 6.03 shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the principles of choice of law thereof. Each Partner and Buyer and ISG consents to xxx and be sued exclusively in the state and federal courts located in the State of Texas and shall not attempt the removal or change of venue of any action arising from or relating to the restrictions contained in this Section 6.03 to the state or federal courts of another jurisdiction. In the event the restrictions, terms, conditions and other provisions of Sections 7(a)(i) and 7(a)(ii) set forth in the employment agreement of a Partner terminate in accordance with the proviso to Section 15 of such employment agreement, the restrictions, terms, conditions and provisions contained in Sections 6.07(a)(i) and 6.07(a)(ii) of this Agreement shall also terminate for such Partner.

Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary

to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses arising from such Third Party Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.04. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.02) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 30 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the

written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.06 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated (with no further right to appeal) to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 30 days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 30 day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of interest reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All calculations of Losses shall take into account any insurance proceeds actually received (net of any costs or expenses incurred in connection with collecting such proceeds) by the Indemnified Party in connection with the matter out of which such Losses shall arise, and shall take into account any net Tax benefit that the Indemnified Party actually realized in connection with the matter out of which such Losses shall arise. The Indemnified Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such insurance proceeds. If an indemnification payment is received by any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party later receives insurance proceeds in

respect of the related Losses, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party such amount.

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

Section 8.09 Exclusive Remedy. Buyer, Seller and the Partners each acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees, respectively, that, from and after the Closing, except for the post-closing adjustments provided for in Section 2.06, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees with respect to any and all claims relating (directly or indirectly) to Seller and the Partners and Buyer, respectively, the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of the Law or legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, shall be pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Article VIII and Section 11.11; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to claims based upon fraud. The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the Buyer Indemnitees’ and Seller Indemnitees’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Seller hereunder.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document

means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or the attached exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the Disclosure Schedules are not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations and warranties of the Seller and the Partners except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement. In addition, matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Disclosure Schedules and exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third-party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of Contract).

Section 11.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 11.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 11.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2009 between

Seller and ISG, constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 11.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the parties may assign their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, without the prior written consent of Seller, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 11.08 No Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in ARTICLE VIII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 11.09 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 11.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.03(e) above, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

(b) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.03(e) ABOVE, ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED

UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE IN EACH CASE LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF WILMINGTON IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.10(c).

Section 11.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 11.12 Acknowledgment by Buyer.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets,

liabilities, properties, prospects and projected operations of the Business, and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties of the Seller expressly and specifically set forth in Article IV, as qualified by the attached Disclosure Schedules. The representations and warranties by the Seller expressly and specifically set forth in Article IV constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties and statements of any kind of the Seller and the Partners to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations, warranties, and statements of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of the Business, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Purchased Assets) are specifically disclaimed by the Seller and the Partners. Neither the Seller nor the Partners makes or provides, and Buyer hereby waives, any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, conformity to samples, or condition of the Purchased Assets or any part thereof except as expressly set forth in Section 4.09. BUYER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV, (X) BUYER IS ACQUIRING THE PURCHASED ASSETS AND THE BUSINESS ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS AND (Y) NONE OF THE SELLER, THE PARTNERS OR ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER IN ANY INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATE OR ANY OTHER CAPACITY) IS MAKING, AND BUYER IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR OTHER STATEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING THE BUSINESS OR THE PURCHASED ASSETS, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO (OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED BY) BUYER OR ANY OF BUYER’S REPRESENTATIVES.

(b) Except as may be specifically set forth in Articles IV and VIII, Buyer acknowledges that neither the Seller, the Partners nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to Buyer or any other Person resulting from (nor shall Buyer have any claim with respect to) the distribution to Buyer, or Buyer’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Buyer in certain “data rooms,” confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be

imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise.

(c) Buyer acknowledges that in connection with the investigation by Buyer of the Business, Buyer received from the Seller certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information. Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forward looking statements, forecasts or plans), and that Buyer shall have no claim against anyone with respect thereto. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that neither the Seller, the Partners nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, make any representation, warranty or other statement with respect to, and Buyer is not relying on, such estimates, projections, forward looking statements and other forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts or plans).

Section 11.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.
