(b) The Buyer shall pay to the Seller the Closing Payment by a wire transfer of immediately available funds, in accordance with written instructions provided by the Seller to the Buyer prior to the Closing Date.

2.3 Earn-Out Consideration. Buyer will pay up to $2,500,000 (the “Earn-Out Consideration,” as follows:

(a) If, for the twelve-month period commencing on the Closing Date (the “First Earn-Out Period”), the income from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (the

“EBITDA”) attributable to the Business (the “First Period EBITDA”) is equal to or greater than $2,600,000, then Buyer shall cause Parent to issue that number of shares of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to $1,000,000. If the First Period EBITDA is less than $2,600,000 but greater than $1,950,000, the Buyer shall cause Parent to issue that number of shares of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the product of $1,000,000 multiplied by the First Period Applicable Percentage. The “First Period Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage of $2,600,000 that the First Period EBITDA represents. By way of illustration, if the First Period EBITDA was $2,080,000, the First Period Applicable Percentage would be 80%. If the First Period EBITDA is less than $1,950,000 but greater than $0, the Buyer shall cause Parent to issue that number of shares of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the product of $750,000 multiplied by the First Period Applicable Percentage.

(b) If, for the twelve-month period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Second Earn-Out Period”), the EBITDA attributable to the Business (the “Second Period EBITDA”) is equal to or greater than $3,600,000, then the Buyer shall cause Parent to issue that number of shares of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to $1,500,000. If the Second Period EBITDA is less than $3,600,000 but greater than $2,700,000, the Buyer shall cause Parent to issue that number of shares of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the product of $1,500,000 multiplied by the Second Period Applicable Percentage. The “Second Period Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage of $3,600,000 that the Second Period EBITDA represents. If the Second Period EBITDA is less than $2,700,000 but greater than $0, the Buyer shall cause Parent to issue that number of shares of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the product of $750,000 multiplied by the Second Period Applicable Percentage.

(c) Any shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Earn-Out Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be issued on the later of (i) a Business Day not more than 30 days after the final determination of EBITDA for the applicable Earn-Out Period, as provided in Section 2.3(e) hereof, or (ii) the date that is 60 days after the end of the applicable Earn-Out Period (each such date, an “Earn-Out Shares Issuance Date”). The value of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be calculated based on the average per share closing price of the Parent Common Stock over the ten trading days immediately preceding the applicable Earn-Out Shares Issuance Date, if the shares are listed on a national exchange or quoted on an automated dealer quotation system or OTC Bulletin Board. If the shares are not so listed or quoted, the value of the shares shall be determined in good faith by the board of directors of Parent based upon an independent appraisal of the value of shares of Parent Common Stock. At the sole discretion of Parent (or any successor to Parent), the Earn-Out Consideration may be paid in cash.

(d) The EBITDA attributable to the Business shall be determined in good faith by the Buyer, based on monthly financial statements (unaudited) that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. In determining the EBITDA attributable to the Business: (i) EBITDA shall be computed without regard to “extraordinary items” (as defined under GAAP) of gain or loss, (ii) EBITDA shall not include any gains, losses or profits realized from the sale of any assets other than in the ordinary course of business, (iii) no deduction shall be made for any management fees, (iv) EBITDA shall include expenses incurred by Parent or the Buyer that relate directly to the operation of the Business (including insurance, payroll processing, marketing, and website hosting costs and expenses) and (v) no deduction shall be made for Parent or Buyer’s legal or accounting fees and expenses arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be construed to limit Parent or the Buyer’s ability to make operational and other decisions that may affect the Business; provided, however, if (x) Parent or the Buyer makes changes in the key management personnel of the Business or (y) there is a change in the key management personnel of Parent (each of (x) and (y) a “Key Management Change”), then the EBITDA attributable to the Business for the applicable Earn-Out Period shall be deemed to be

the greater of (i) the actual EBITDA attributable to the Business for the applicable Earn-Out Period or (ii) the EBITDA determined by calculating the EBITDA attributable to the Business for the portion of the Earn-Out Period prior to the Key Management Change and multiplying such EBITDA by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be 365 days and the denominator of which shall be the number of days elapsed in the applicable Earn-Out period prior to the Key Management Change (and, if such Key Management Change occurs in the First Earn-Out Period, the calculation of EBITDA set forth in this sentence shall be used to determine whether Earn-Out Consideration is due for each of the First Earn-Out Period and the Second Earn-Out Period); provided, further, any Earn-Out Consideration that is due as a result of the calculation described in this sentence shall be paid on the date that is 60 days after the end of the applicable Earn-Out Period.

(e) Within 30 days after the end of the First Earn-Out Period and the Second Earn-Out Period, the Buyer shall submit to the Seller a written report (the “EBITDA Report”) setting forth its computation of the EBITDA attributable to the Business. Unless the Seller notifies the Buyer within 45 days after receipt of the EBITDA Report that it objects to the computation of EBITDA therein, the EBITDA Report shall be binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement. The Seller shall have access, during normal business hours, to the books and records of the Business used by Buyer in computing EBITDA, including Buyer’s workpapers. If the Seller notifies the Buyer in writing within 30 days after receipt of the EBITDA Report of specific, itemized and quantified objections to the EBITDA Report. If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve any items that are in dispute within 15 days of the Seller’s delivery of its notice to the Buyer, the matters in dispute will be submitted for resolution to Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co., Inc. or such other independent accounting firm of national reputation as may be mutually acceptable to the Seller and the Buyer (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Independent Accounting Firm shall, within 30 days of such submission, determine and issue a written report to the Seller and the Buyer upon such disputed items and such written decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. The Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate reasonably with each other and each other’s representatives to enable the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision as promptly as possible. The fees of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Parties in proportion to the aggregate differences between their respective calculations of EBITDA and the EBITDA finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in the event of (i) the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or against Parent or the Buyer that is not dismissed within 60 days of the filing or (ii) the liquidation and dissolution of the Buyer or Parent (each of (i) and (ii), an “Earn-Out Acceleration Event”), then the entire amount of the Earn-Out Consideration that has not been previously paid shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, if the Earn-Out Acceleration Event occurs during the Second Earn-Out Period, only $1,500,000 of the Earn-Out Consideration shall be due and payable. The value of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) shall be calculated based on the average per share closing price of the Parent Common Stock over the 30 trading days immediately preceding the applicable Earn-Out Acceleration Event, if the shares are listed on a national exchange or quoted on an automated dealer quotation system or OTC Bulletin Board. If the shares are not so listed or quoted, the value of the shares shall be determined in good faith by the board of directors of Parent based upon an independent appraisal of the value of shares of Parent Common Stock.

2.4 Allocation of the Purchase Price. The portion of the Purchase Price to be allocated to the Purchased Assets shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in accordance with the respective fair market values of the Purchased Assets pursuant to an allocation schedule prepared by the Buyer and approved by the Seller after the Closing in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations adopted thereunder. Neither the Seller nor the Buyer will take a position on any income Tax Return, before any Governmental Body charged with the collection of any income Tax, or in any judicial proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with the terms of this Section 2.4, and the Seller and the Buyer

shall file Form 8594 with the IRS in a manner consistent with this allocation. If there is any adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 2.3 or Section 2.6, the allocation schedule shall be modified accordingly.

2.5 Assumption of Liabilities.

The Buyer will deliver the Draft Closing Balance Sheet to the Seller not later than 60 days following the Closing Date.

(b) Review by the Seller. As soon as practicable following receipt of the Draft Closing Balance Sheet from the Buyer, the Seller shall review the Draft Closing Balance Sheet. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 45 days of receipt of the Draft Closing Balance Sheet, the Seller shall provide to the Buyer a written report indicating its agreement with, or specific, itemized, and quantified objections to, the Draft Closing Balance Sheet (the “Seller’s Report”).

(i) Within 15 days of the receipt by the Buyer of the Seller’s Report, the Seller and the Buyer shall endeavor to agree on any matters in dispute. Any such agreement shall be in writing and binding upon each of the Buyer and the Seller with respect to the subject matter of any such dispute.

The Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate reasonably with each other and each other’s representatives to enable the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision as promptly as possible. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Parties in proportion to the aggregate differences between their respective calculations of Net Working Capital as embodied in the Draft Closing Balance Sheet and the Seller’s Report, as applicable, and the Net Working Capital shown on the final Closing Balance Sheet.

(iii) The balance sheet incorporating the resolution of matters in dispute (if any), or, in the alternative, the Draft Closing Balance Sheet as approved in writing by the Seller (or deemed approved by the Seller), is referred to as the “Closing Balance Sheet.” The Closing Balance Sheet shall have the legal effect of an arbitral award and shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the Parties.

(ii) if the Net Working Capital reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Seller shall make a payment to the Buyer in an amount equal to such shortfall.

This Section 2.7 shall not be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Purchased Assets any Contracts as to which a Seller Required Consent may be necessary.

Accordingly, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), neither the Seller Parties nor any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Restricted Party”) shall, within North America, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, render services, engage, or have a financial interest in (including as a shareholder, member, partner, owner, lender, creditor, or similar capacity), any business or enterprise which is engaged, directly or indirectly, anywhere in North America in the provision of nurse staffing and related consulting services (the “Restricted Business”), nor shall any Restricted Party assist any Person, or have a business affiliation with any Person, that shall be engaged in any such business activities, including making available any information or funding to any such Person.

his or her employment with the Restricted Business, or (ii) solicit any customer or supplier of the Restricted Business (or any prospective customer or supplier) for the purposes of having any such customer or supplier terminate its relationship with the Restricted Business or for purposes of competing with the Restricted Business. In addition, during the Non-Competition Period, each Restricted Party shall immediately inform any Person that makes a business-related inquiry about the Business that the Business has been sold to the Buyer, and such Restricted Party shall promptly inform the Buyer of such inquiry. If any Governmental Body determines that the foregoing restrictions are too broad or otherwise unreasonable under applicable Law, including with respect to time or geographical scope, such Governmental Body is hereby requested and authorized by the Parties to revise the foregoing restriction to include the maximum restrictions allowable under applicable Law. Each Restricted Party acknowledges, however, that this Section 6.2 has been negotiated by the Parties and that the geographical scope and time limitations, as well as the limitation on activities, are reasonable in light of the circumstances pertaining to the Business.

(b) No Restricted Party will, at any time, represent that it is continuing to carry on the Business, other than as specifically agreed to herein.

(c) Each Seller Party recognizes and acknowledges that by reason of its involvement with the Business, it has had access to Trade Secrets relating to the Business. Each Seller Party acknowledges that such Trade Secrets are a valuable and unique asset to the Business and covenants that it will not allow the disclosure of any such Trade Secrets to any Person for any reason whatsoever or at any time whatsoever, unless such information is in the public domain through no wrongful act of such Seller Party or its Affiliates or such disclosure is required by applicable Law.

(d) The terms of this Section 6.2 shall apply to any Restricted Party that is not one of the Parties to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and each Seller Party shall take whatever actions may be necessary to cause any of its controlled Affiliates to adhere to the terms of this Section 6.2

(e) In the event of any breach or threatened breach by any Restricted Party of any provision of this Section 6.2, the Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without being required to post any bond or security of any type), restraining such party from using or disclosing any Trade Secrets in whole or in part, or from engaging in conduct that would constitute a breach of the obligations of a Restricted Party under this Section 6.2, and no Restricted Party shall oppose the Buyer’s application for such injunctive or other equitable relief. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies that may be available, including an action for the recovery of Damages.

(f) The Seller, on behalf of itself and the other Restricted Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 6.2 are a material and substantial part of the Transactions and are entered into in connection with, and as an inducement to, the acquisition by the Buyer of the Purchased Assets and the Business.

6.3 Transfer of Purchased Assets and Business. The Seller, from time to time on and after the Closing Date and at the Buyer’s request, shall take, and shall cause each other Seller Party to take, such reasonable steps as may be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Buyer, at and after the Closing so that the Buyer shall be placed in actual possession and control of all of the Purchased Assets and the Business. In furtherance thereof, the Seller shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver, and shall cause each other Seller Party to execute, acknowledge, and deliver, such additional instruments of conveyance and transfer and other documents and take such other actions as the Buyer may reasonably require, in the judgment of the Buyer, in order to more effectively vest in it, and put it in possession of, the Purchased Assets or to better enable it to complete, perform, or discharge any of the Assumed Liabilities.

6.7 Certain Claims. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (each, a “Releasing Party”), hereby knowingly and voluntarily releases and forever discharges the Buyer and each of its Affiliates, shareholders, managers, directors, officers, agents, and representatives (each, a “Released Party”) of and from any and all actions or causes of action, suits, claims, demands, Liabilities, losses, obligations, debts, costs, damages, expenses, dues, charges, complaints, contracts (whether oral or written, express or implied from any source) and promises whatsoever, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, at law or in equity, which any Releasing Party may now have or hereinafter can, shall, or may have against any Released Party, other than any which specifically arise out of and are related to this Agreement and the documents and agreements to be delivered in connection herewith and the transactions expressly contemplated hereby and thereby or which arise out of facts first occurring after the Closing.

Effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall terminate the employment of any Eligible Employees whom the Buyer prior to the Closing designates in writing for employment (the “Designated Employees”), and the Buyer shall offer employment to all Designated Employees. The Seller shall remain solely responsible for all Liabilities arising out of or related to the actual or constructive termination of employment of any employee of the Business (including without limitation, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions).

The Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the consent of the other Parties.

Liability, (d) any Liability of the Seller involving Taxes due and payable by, or imposed with respect to the Seller for any and all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (whether or not such Taxes have been due and payable), (e) any Liability of the Seller involving any Excluded Asset, (f) any Indebtedness (other than the Crestmark Note), (g) any Payment Accelerations, (h) any of the matters set forth in Section 12.

11.2 By the Buyer and the Parent. From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer and the Parent, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Seller Parties and their respective successors and assigns (if any) and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, Affiliates, and any Person who controls any of such Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Seller Party”) from and against any Damages that such Indemnified Seller Party may sustain, suffer, or incur and that result from, arise out of, or relate to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, and (b) any Assumed Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent and the Buyer shall not indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.2(b) for any Damages against which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.1.

11.3 Procedure for Claims.

(a) Any Person who desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Section 11 (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice in reasonable detail (a “Claim Notice”) to each Party responsible or alleged to be responsible for indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitor”). Such notice shall briefly explain the nature of the claim and the parties known to be involved, and shall specify the amount thereof. If the matter to which a claim relates shall not have been resolved as of the date of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall estimate the amount of the claim in the Claim Notice, but also specify therein that the claim has not yet been liquidated (an “Unliquidated Claim”). If an Indemnified Party gives a Claim Notice for an Unliquidated Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall also give a second Claim Notice (the “Liquidated Claim Notice”) within 60 days after the matter giving rise to the claim becomes finally resolved, and the Liquidated Claim Notice shall specify the amount of the claim. Each Indemnitor to which a Claim Notice is given shall respond to any Indemnified Party that has given a Claim Notice (a “Claim Response”) within 30 days (the “Response Period”) after the later of (i) the date that the Claim Notice is given or (ii) if a Claim Notice is first given with respect to an Unliquidated Claim, the date on which the Liquidated Claim Notice is given. Any Claim Response shall specify whether or not the Indemnitor giving the Claim Response disputes the claim described in the Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, then such Indemnitor shall be deemed not to dispute the claim described in the related Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor elects not to dispute a claim described in a Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response in accordance with the terms hereof or otherwise, then the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor.

(b) If any Indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11, then such Indemnitor shall pay to such Indemnified Party the amount to which such Indemnified Party shall be entitled within 15 Business Days after the day on which such Indemnitor became so obligated to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party shall be an Indemnified Buyer Party, it shall first offset the amount of the Damages to which it is entitled under this Section 11 from the promissory note issued to the Seller on the Closing Date, but only to the extent the original principal amount of such promissory note is sufficient to satisfy such Damages and has not been previously offset by other claims for indemnification. Thereafter, if the remaining principal amount of the promissory note is less than the amount of Damages to which such Indemnified Buyer Party is entitled, such Indemnified Buyer Party shall be entitled to indemnification directly from the Seller Parties or any of them. In addition, if the Indemnified Party is an Indemnified Buyer Party, the Indemnified Buyer Party shall be

entitled, at its sole discretion, to reduce the Earn-Out Consideration by the amount of the Damages to which it is entitled under this Section 11. If any Indemnitor fails to pay all or part of any indemnification obligation when due, then such Indemnitor shall also be obligated to pay to the applicable Indemnified Party interest on the unpaid amount for each day during which the obligation remains unpaid at an annual rate equal to 10%.

(c) If, during the Response Period, an Indemnified Party receives a Claim Response from the Indemnitor, then for a period of 45 days (the “Resolution Period”) after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Claim Response, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall endeavor to resolve any dispute arising therefrom. If such dispute is resolved by the Parties during the Resolution Period, the amount that the Parties have specified as the amount to be paid by the Indemnitor, if any, as settlement for such dispute shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a resolution to such dispute prior to the expiration of the Resolution Period (or any extension thereto to which the Indemnitor and Indemnified Party agree in writing), the issue shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by an arbitrator mutually agreed to by the Parties. The arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (as modified by this Agreement) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but the matter shall not be submitted to the American Arbitration Association and the arbitrator need not be a member of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon the Parties. The arbitrator shall apply the governing Law specified in Section 16 of this Agreement and shall have the power to rule on its competence and on the validity of this Agreement as submitted for arbitration. The Parties will provide to the arbitrator all information pertaining to the dispute that the arbitrator may request, provided, that all information supplied by any Party shall be deemed to be confidential information and the Parties and the arbitrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to protect such information from disclosure to any Person not related to the dispute. Judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Parties and the arbitrator will use their best efforts to cause the dispute to be resolved within three months after initiation of the arbitrator selection process. The arbitrator shall be required to state in writing the reasoning on which the award rests.

11.4 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11, except as provided below in this Section 11.4, the Indemnified Buyer Parties on the one hand, and the Indemnified Seller Parties on the other hand, shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to the breach of a representation or warranty by the Seller Parties, or by the Buyer and the Parent, respectively, only when the aggregate of all Damages to such Indemnified Parties from all such breaches of representations or warranties exceeds $90,000 (the “Deductible Amount”) and only to the extent that the aggregate of all such Damages exceeds the Deductible Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum limitation for claims pursuant to this Section 11 shall be $6,500,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”). The foregoing limitation with respect to the Deductible Amount and the Indemnification Cap shall not apply, however, to (a) any breach of the Seller Parties’ representations or warranties under Sections 4.1 (Corporate Status), 4.2 (Authorization), 4.4 (Stock Ownership), 4.6 (Title to Purchased Assets and Related Matters), 4.13 (Taxes), and 4.29 (Finder’s Fee) or in the related provisions of the Closing Certificates and (b) a breach of any representations or warranties of a Party to this Agreement that were made with an intent to mislead or defraud or with a reckless disregard of the accuracy thereof, and (c) any Damages arising from any matter set forth in clauses (b) through (h) of the first sentence of Section 11.1. In addition, in the case of a claim that may be made based on a breach of a representation or warranty as well as on any other item described in clauses (b) through (h) of the first sentence of Section 11.1, such limitations regarding the Deductible Amount and the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to the extent that such claim is not based solely on an asserted breach of a representation or warranty.

11.5 Certain Qualifications. With respect to any breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller, any qualifications or exceptions relating to materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be

disregarded for purposes of determining whether or to the extent to which an Indemnified Buyer Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such representations and warranties. In furtherance of the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Deductible Amount set forth in Section 11.4 shall include any Damages incurred by an Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled to claim indemnification under this Section 11 with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty but for such claim being excluded as a result of such representation or warranty being qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect, or the knowledge of a particular Person.

11.6 Claims Period. Any claim for indemnification under this Section 11 shall be made by giving a Claim Notice under Section 11.3 on or before the applicable “Expiration Date” specified below in this Section 11.6, or the claim under this Section 11 shall be invalid. The following claims shall have the following respective Expiration Dates: (a) the date that is eighteen months after the Closing Date – any claims that are not specified in any of the succeeding clauses; (b) the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, for any claim with respect to Taxes (including a breach of the representations or warranties contained in Section 4.13 (Taxes)) or a breach of the representations or warranties contained in Section 4.20 (ERISA); and (c) until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations – any claim with respect to (i) a breach of a covenant or agreement, or (ii) any claim based on a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Sections 4.1 and 5.1 (Corporate Status), 4.2 and 5.2 (Authorization), 4.4 (Stock Ownership), 4.6 (Title to Purchased Assets and Related Matters), 4.15 and 5.5 (Legal Proceedings and Compliance with Law), and 4.29 and 5.4 (Finder’s Fee). If more than one of such Expiration Dates applies to a particular claim, the latest of such Expiration Dates shall be the controlling Expiration Date for such claim. So long as an Indemnified Party gives a Claim Notice for an Unliquidated Claim on or before the applicable Expiration Date, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue its rights to indemnification regardless of the date on which such Indemnified Party gives the related Liquidated Claim Notice.

11.7 Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Party that desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Section 11 with respect to any actions, suits, or other administrative or judicial proceedings (each, an “Action”) that may be instituted by a third party shall give each Indemnitor prompt notice of a third party’s institution of such Action. After such notice, any Indemnitor may, or if so requested by such Indemnified Party, any Indemnitor shall, participate in such Action or assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such Action; provided, further, that if the Indemnitor assumes such defense thereof, the Indemnitor shall be conclusively deemed to have acknowledged that the Action is within the scope of its indemnity obligation hereunder and shall hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against all Damages resulting therefrom. If the Indemnitor does not, or is not requested to, assume the defense of an Action, the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, except with the written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnified Party is successful in its defense of an Action, the Indemnitor shall nonetheless be responsible for the reasonable attorneys’, consultants’, and other professional fees, and disbursements of every kind, nature, and description incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection therewith. An Indemnified Party’s right to claim indemnification under this Section 11 shall be impaired if, and only to the extent that, such Indemnified Party fails to give notice under this Section 11.7 as promptly as may reasonably be practicable and an Indemnitor shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without the written consent of the Buyer, the Seller shall not be entitled to assume any Action (each, a “Prohibited Action”): (a) to the extent that any such Action seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief; (b) the Action relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, or investigation; (c) the Action involves a customer or supplier of the Business; (d) the Buyer reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the

Action would be detrimental to or injure the reputation or future business prospects of the Business, the Buyer, or its Affiliates; or (e) the amount of claimed Liabilities in such Action exceeds the Indemnification Cap (after reducing such Indemnification Cap by the amount of other claims for indemnification made by the Indemnified Buyer Parties against the Seller Parties). If the Buyer consents in writing to the Seller’s assumption of any Prohibited Action, the Seller shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Prohibited Action, except with the prior written consent of the Buyer.

11.8 Effect of Investigation or Knowledge. Any claim by the Buyer for indemnification shall not be adversely affected by any investigation by or opportunity to investigate afforded to the Buyer, nor shall such a claim be adversely affected by the Buyer’s knowledge on or before the Closing Date of any breach of the type specified in the first sentence of Section 11.1 or of any state of facts that may give rise to such a breach; any such claim shall survive Closing until the applicable Expiration Date. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not adversely affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations.

11.9 Contingent Claims. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent an Indemnified Party from making a claim hereunder for potential or contingent claims or demands (a “Contingent Claim”) provided the Claim Notice sets forth the specific basis for any such Contingent Claim to the extent then feasible and the Indemnified Party has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim may be made.

11.10 Shareholders’ Representative.

(a) Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx shall act as the representative of each of the Seller Parties (the “Shareholders’ Representative”) for the purpose of settling on behalf of the Seller Parties claims made by any Indemnified Buyer Party under Section 11, representing the Seller Parties in any indemnification proceedings under Section 11, and representing the Seller Parties in connection with any other claim by the Buyer or any Indemnified Buyer Party, including with respect to any adjustments to or disputes with respect to the Purchase Price under Section 2.3 or Section 2.6. Each Seller Party shall be bound by any and all actions taken by the Shareholders’ Representative on their behalf.

(b) Any Indemnified Buyer Party shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any communications or writings given or executed by the Shareholders’ Representative and shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for any action taken or not taken in reliance upon the actions taken or not taken or communications or writings given or executed by Shareholders’ Representative. Any Indemnified Buyer Party shall be entitled to disregard any notices or communications given or made by the Seller Parties unless given or made through the Shareholders’ Representative.

12.

Tax and Securities Law Matters.

12.1 Indemnification. From and after the Closing Date, the Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against (a) any Taxes of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, (b) any Taxes that relate to the Business for all periods subject to Tax ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion of all Taxes allocable to any period subject to Tax that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), and (c) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Buyer or any of its Affiliates as a transferee or successor of the Seller, by Contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction first occurring before the Closing Date.

12.2 Securities Matters.

(a) No Seller Party will, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such Seller Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in conformity with the provisions of Rule 144 or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act.

(b) Each Seller Party has reviewed Parent’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB and its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB. Each Seller Party (a) has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters that such Seller Party is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the shares of Parent Common Stock, (b) fully understands the nature, scope, and duration of the limitations on transfer contained herein and under applicable law, and (c) can bear the economic risk of any investment in the shares of Parent Common Stock and can afford a complete loss of such investment. Each Seller Party has had an adequate opportunity to ask questions and receive answers (and has asked such questions and received answers to its satisfaction) from the officers of the Parent concerning the business, operations and financial condition of the Parent. None of the Seller Parties has any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement, written or oral, with any other person to sell, transfer or grant participation in any shares of Parent Common Stock to be acquired by such Seller Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that Parent will not provide such Seller Party with a prospectus for such Seller Party’s use in selling the shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such Seller Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and agrees to sell such shares only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.2.

(d) The certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby will bear restrictive legends substantially in the following form:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS THE CORPORATION HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

13.

General Matters.

13.1 Contents of Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, sets forth the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the Transactions and supersedes all prior Contracts or understandings among the Parties regarding those matters.

13.2 Amendment, Parties in Interest, Assignment, Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by each of the Parties. If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the Parties. Nothing in

this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns, except as provided in Section 11. No Party shall assign this Agreement or any right, benefit, or obligation hereunder except that (i) the Seller may assign its rights under this Agreement to the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with a dissolution or liquidation of the Seller, and (ii) the Buyer may assign its rights hereunder to any Affiliate of the Buyer, any financial institution, lender, or investor providing to the Buyer debt or equity financing in connection with the Transactions, and to any Person that acquires, by purchase of stock, purchase of assets, merger, or other form of transaction, all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Buyer. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof by a written instrument duly executed by such Party. Neither the failure nor the delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of any such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no waiver that may be given by a Party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it was given and (b) no notice to or demand on one Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such Party or the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

13.3 Further Assurances. At and after the Closing, the Parties shall execute and deliver any and all documents and take any and all other actions that may be deemed reasonably necessary by their respective counsel to complete the Transactions.

13.4 Interpretation. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, (a) references to the plural include the singular, the singular the plural, and the part the whole, (b) references to any gender include all genders, (c) “include” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed in each instance by the words “without limitation,” and (d) references to “hereunder” or “herein” relate to this Agreement. Any determination as to whether a situation is material shall be made by taking into account the effect of all other provisions of this Agreement that contain a qualification with respect to materiality so that the determination is made after assessing the aggregate effect of all such situations. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not control or affect the construction of this Agreement or the interpretation thereof in any respect. Section, subsection, Disclosure Schedule, and Exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Each accounting term used herein that is not specifically defined herein shall have the meaning given to it under GAAP. Any reference to a Party’s being satisfied with any particular item or to a Party’s determination of a particular item presumes that such standard will not be achieved unless such Party shall be satisfied or shall have made such determination in its sole or complete discretion.

13.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (delivery of which may occur via facsimile), each of which shall be binding as of the date first written above, and, when delivered, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile signature or electronically scanned copy of a signature shall constitute and shall be deemed to be sufficient evidence of a Party’s execution of this Agreement, without necessity of further proof. Each such copy (or facsimile) shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

13.6 Negotiated Agreement. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the terms and language of this Agreement were the result of negotiations among the Parties and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against any particular Party. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.

14.

Remedies.

15.

Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its provisions concerning conflicts of Laws, choice of Law, choice of forum, or principles that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive Law of another jurisdiction.

Each Party also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices, or other papers in a manner permitted by the notice provisions of Section 17. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Promissory Note

PROMISSORY NOTE


U.S. $750,000.00		October 14, 2004

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, WORLD HEALTH ALTERNATIVES, INC., a Florida corporation, and BETTER SOLUTIONS, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (each, a “Payor,” and collectively, the “Payors”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of Travel Nurse Solutions, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Holder”) the principal amount of ONE MILLION DOLLARS or such lesser amount thereof as remains outstanding under this Note (such amount, the “Principal Sum”), together with any accrued and unpaid interest (defined below), as follows. This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 14, 2004, by and among the Payors, the Holder and certain shareholders of the Holder (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Note that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

1. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the Principal Sum at the simple rate of six percent per annum; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), all of the obligations evidenced by this Note shall bear interest at the simple rate of ten percent per annum (or, if such rate exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law, then the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law). Interest shall be calculated based on a 365-day year for the number of days elapsed.

2. Payment of Principal Sum and Accrued Interest. Subject to Payors’ right of set-off as set forth in Section 7 below, the Principal Sum shall be payable in 10 consecutive quarterly installments of $75,000 beginning on December 31, 2004 and ending on March 31, 2007. Interest accruing from time to time on the Principal Sum shall be paid at the times provided above for payments of installments of the Principal Sum. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States at the business office of Holder, or at such other place as Holder may from time to time direct.

3. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment.

4. Allocation of Payments and Prepayments. Payments and prepayments received hereunder shall be applied (i) first to the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by the Holder in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Note, or in the enforcement of any provision of this Note, in each case to the extent the Holder is entitled to exercise such right, power or remedy or enforce such provision, (ii) second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Sum to the date of such payment, (iii) third, to the payment of any installment of the Principal Sum then due and payable, and (iv) fourth to the payment of installments of the Principal Sum in inverse order of maturity until the Principal Sum is paid in full, unless otherwise agreed by Holder.

5. Subordination. By acceptance of this Note, Holder agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any subordination of this Note that may be required by the lender under any credit facility to Payors and, in connection therewith, Holder agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Payors or such lender.

6. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events, conditions or state of affairs shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder: (a) Payors shall fail to make payments when due in accordance with Section 2 hereof and such failure shall remain uncured for 10 days after notice to Payors; (b) either Payor shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or of its property, (ii) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, (iv) file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or a petition or answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors to take advantage of any insolvency law, or an answer admitting the material allegations of a bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency petition filed against it, or (v) have an order for relief entered against it in any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code; or (c) an order, judgment or decree shall be entered, without the application, approval or consent of a Payor, by a court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition seeking reorganization of such Payor or appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of such Payor or of all or a substantial part of its assets, and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for any period of sixty (60) consecutive days.

7. Acceleration; Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holder shall have all the rights of a creditor now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise. In addition, upon the occurrence of: (i) any Event of Default, (ii) the liquidation and dissolution of either Payor, (iii) the lease, sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of all, or substantially all, of either Payor’s or the Business’s assets, not made in the ordinary course of business, or (iv) an agreement of merger, consolidation, or majority share acquisition between either Payor and one or more domestic or foreign Persons (other than any merger or consolidation between the Payors or with any wholly-owned subsidiary of either Payor), in which such Payor’s shareholders in the aggregate receive or hold less than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of the surviving or new Person, then, at the election of the Holder hereof and with notice to the Payors, the Holder shall have the right to declare the Principal Sum and all accrued and unpaid interest to be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of: any one or more of the Events of Default specified in Section 6(b) or (c), the Principal Sum and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be immediately due and payable without the need for any election or notice by the Holder hereof.

8. Right of Set-Off. Payor shall have the right to withhold and set-off against any amount due hereunder the amount of any claim for adjustment to purchase price, indemnification or payment of damages to which Payor may be entitled under the Asset Purchase Agreement, as provided in Article 2 and Article 11 thereof.

8. No Assignment. The Holder may assign its rights under this Note to the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the liquidation of the Holder. Except as providing in the preceding sentence, this Note may not be assigned by Holder without the prior written consent of Payor.

9. Miscellaneous. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Note, the Payors and each endorser hereby: (i) waive presentment, notice of presentment, demand, notice of demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment and any other notice required to be given by law in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note or any endorsement or guaranty of this Note; and (ii) consent to any and all delays, extensions, renewals or other modifications of this Note or waivers of any term hereof or the failure to act on the part of the Holder hereof or any indulgence shown by the Holder hereof, from time to time and in one or more instances (without notice to or further assent from the Payors), and agree that no such action, failure to act or failure to exercise any right or remedy on the part of the Holder hereof shall in any way affect or impair the obligations of the Payors or be construed as a waiver by the Holder hereof of, or otherwise affect, any of such Holder’s rights under this Note, or under any endorsement of this Note. The Payors further agree to reimburse the Holder hereof for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid in

exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Note, or in the enforcement of any provision of this Note, in each case to the extent the Holder is entitled to exercise such right, power or remedy, or enforce such provision.

10. Governing Law. The parties intend that this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to principles of conflicts of laws or choice of law that would compel the application of the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Payors have executed this Note on the day and year first above written.
