(b) Closing Date Payment. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller an initial amount (the “Closing Date Payment”) equal to:

(i) Twenty One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($21,500,000) plus the Closing Adjustment Amount, if the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Net Working Capital Threshold; or

(ii) Twenty One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($21,500,000) minus the Closing Adjustment Amount, if the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Net Working Capital Threshold; or

(iii) Twenty One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($21,500,000), if the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is equal to the Net Working Capital Threshold.

For such purposes, the “Closing Adjustment Amount” shall equal the difference (expressed as a positive number), if any, between the Net Working Capital Threshold and the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount.

(c) Closing First Anniversary Payment. On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and subject to Buyer’s right of setoff pursuant to Section 12.9 hereof, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) together with interest from the Closing Date until the date on which payment is due, which shall accrue from the Closing Date until the date of payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate. If the payment is not paid when due, then interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%).

If the payment is not paid when due, then interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%).

3.3 Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(a) Delivery of Closing Statement. Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a reasonable good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination (the “Closing Statement”). Such estimate shall be subject to reasonable approval by Buyer (such estimate, when so approved, the “Estimated Net Working Capital Amount”). Seller shall provide to Buyer such additional back-up or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount as Buyer may reasonably request.

(b) Delivery of Post-Closing Statement. In no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement of Buyer’s determination of the Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date (the “Actual Net Working Capital Amount”), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination (the “Post-Closing Statement”). Buyer shall provide to Seller such additional back-up or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital Amount reflected thereon as Seller may reasonably request.

(c) Acceptance Period; Delivery of Dispute Notice. Seller may, within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, provide Buyer with written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) of its disagreement with the calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital Amount reflected on the Post-Closing Statement. If no such notice is delivered to Buyer by Seller within such period, the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital Amount reflected thereon shall be binding upon the parties hereto. A Dispute

Notice shall set forth Seller’s determination of the Actual Net Working Capital Amount and, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination, and shall specify the specific areas of Seller’s disagreement with the Post-Closing Statement and the reasons therefor. Any items set forth on the Post-Closing Statement that Seller does not specify in the Dispute Notice that it disagrees with shall be deemed final and shall be binding upon the parties hereto. Buyer and Seller shall endeavor in good faith to resolve any such disagreement within fifteen (15) days (the “Negotiating Period”) following the delivery by Seller of such Dispute Notice. Any resolution (including any partial resolution) of such a disagreement shall be set forth in a writing executed by Buyer and Seller, and any such resolution shall be binding on the parties hereto.

(d) Determination of Disputes by Neutral Firm. If Buyer and Seller are unable to completely resolve any such disagreement within the Negotiating Period, the unresolved issues (the “Working Capital Dispute”) shall be promptly submitted for resolution to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or, if Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP is unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, a recognizable, reputable and impartial certified public accounting firm that is mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Neutral Firm”). If Buyer and Seller cannot agree upon a Neutral Firm within ten (10) days, the Washington, DC office of the American Arbitration Association shall choose a recognized, reputable and impartial certified public accounting firm (other than a firm that has provided services within the past five (5) years to Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates) to act as the Neutral Firm. The parties shall instruct the Neutral Firm to (A) promptly (and, to the extent practicable, no later than sixty (60) days after the Neutral Firm’s receipt of such instructions) determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Neutral Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Seller and Buyer, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and (B) render a written report as to the resolution of the Working Capital Dispute which, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. In resolving any Working Capital Dispute, the Neutral Firm (x) shall be instructed to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.3(d) and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. Neither Buyer nor Seller (or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives) shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Neutral Firm without reasonable prior notice (which notice shall provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communications or meetings), to Buyer (in the case of Seller) or Seller (in the case of Buyer). The fees and expenses of the Neutral Firm shall be borne one-half (1/2) by Buyer, on the one hand, and one-half (1/2) by Seller, on the other hand.

(e) Post-Closing Reconciliation.

(i) If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Actual Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d), as the case may be, the Reconciliation Payment minus any Reimbursable Amounts shall be paid by Seller to Buyer. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Actual Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d), as the case may be, the Reconciliation Payment plus any Reimbursable Amounts shall be paid by Buyer to Seller. If the Actual Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d), as the case may be, is equal to the Estimated Net Working

Capital Amount, unless there are Reimbursable Amounts owed by Buyer to Seller, no payment shall be required under this Section 3.3(e). In either event, payment of the Reconciliation Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) days of the date in which the Actual Net Working Capital Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d), as the case may be. The “Reconciliation Payment” shall be equal to the difference (expressed as a positive number), if any, between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Actual Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d), as the case may be.

(ii) If the Reconciliation Payment is not paid when such amount is due, then interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%). The Reconciliation Payment shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as the recipient designates by written notice at least two (2) days prior to the date such payment is due.

3.4 Purchase Price Payment. All payments of the Purchase Price to Seller (net of Seller’s costs, expenses and Taxes related to the sale of the Business) required to be made pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3 hereof are to be allocated among and between each Stockholder based on such Stockholder’s relative percentage of ownership of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Corporation common stock as of the Closing Date, as set forth on Schedule 3.4,

3.5 Allocation. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and substantially in the manner set forth on Exhibit G (the “Allocation”). Buyer shall submit a proposed Allocation to Seller which may reflect post-Closing third party valuation advice not more than thirty (30) days after the Closing, and such proposed Allocation shall be subject to consent from Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller shall have thirty (30) days from notice of such proposed Allocation to object thereto. Any such objection shall be made by written notice and shall specify, in reasonable detail, the specific areas of Seller’s disagreement with Buyer’s proposed Allocation and the reasons therefor. Any items of Buyer’s proposed Allocation that Seller does not timely object to in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed final and shall be binding upon the parties hereto. Buyer and Seller shall report, act and file Tax Returns (including, but not limited to Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Allocation. Upon payment of any amounts pursuant to Article IX (which shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price), Buyer and Seller shall allocate such amounts pursuant to Article IX in accordance with the Allocation, and the parties shall mutually prepare, file and deliver on a timely basis IRS Form 8594 consistent with such Allocation. If any Tax authority challenges such allocation, the party receiving notice of such challenge shall give the other prompt written notice thereof and the parties shall use their commercially-reasonable efforts to preserve the effectiveness of such Allocation. No party hereto shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. Any dispute related to the Allocation shall be decided in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3(d).

ARTICLE IV: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

9.2 Indemnification by Seller and the Stockholders. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.6, Seller and each Stockholder, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, and the personnel of any of them (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, assessments, penalties and interest, demands, actions and expenses, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, absolute or contingent (including settlement costs and any reasonable legal, accounting and other expenses for investigating or defending any actions or threatened actions) (“Loss(es)”) incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party, arising out of or in connection with (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller or any Stockholder contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, (ii) any breach by Seller or any Stockholder of any covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, (iii) any Excluded Liability, (iv) any failure by Seller to comply with any “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar Laws, (v) the Unauthorized Practice of Law; (vi) lack of full compliance with immigration Law in connection with employees; (vii) any failure by Seller to appropriately file Form 1099 with the Internal Revenue Service; or (viii) any failure by Seller to deliver tax clearance certificates.

9.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice. Whenever any claim, action, suit or proceeding shall arise for which indemnification may be sought under this Article IX (a “Claim”), the Person entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly give notice to the party obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnitor”) with respect to the Claim after the receipt by the Indemnitee of information as to the facts constituting the basis for the Claim; but the failure to timely give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation under this Agreement, except to the extent, if any, that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) Defense by Indemnitor. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnitee of a Claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitor may elect to assume the defense of such Claim by providing counsel (such counsel subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnitee) to defend the Indemnitee against the matter from which the Third Party Claim arose, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost, risk and expense. The Indemnitee shall cooperate, in all reasonable respects and at the Indemnitor’s sole cost, risk and expense, with the Indemnitor in the investigation, trial, defense and any appeal arising from the matter from which the Third Party Claim arose; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may (but shall not be obligated to) participate in (but not control) any such investigation, trial, defense and any appeal arising in connection with the Third Party Claim at its sole cost, risk and expense. If the Indemnitee elects to so participate, the Indemnitor shall cooperate with the Indemnitee, and the Indemnitor shall deliver to the Indemnitee or its counsel copies of all pleadings and other information within the Indemnitor’s knowledge or possession reasonably requested by the Indemnitee or its counsel that is relevant to the defense of such Third Party Claim and that will not prejudice the Indemnitor’s position, claims or defenses. Any settlement will be subject to the consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitor may not admit any liability of the Indemnitee or waive any of the Indemnitee’s rights without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent. If the subject of any Third Party Claim results in a judgment or settlement consistent with the terms of this Section 9.4(b) for which the Indemnitor is liable hereunder, the Indemnitor shall promptly pay such judgment or settlement.

(c) Defense by Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 9.4(b), or if the Indemnitor fails to prosecute such defense diligently, or if the Indemnitor has, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable

judgment, a conflict of interest which prevents representation as provided in Section 9.4(b), or if the Indemnitor has, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, insufficient resources with which to conduct an adequate defense, the Indemnitee may defend against the subject of the Third Party Claim, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost, risk and expense (but limited to all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one separate counsel and appropriate local counsel for the Indemnitee (or multiple Indemnitees)), in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee reasonably deems appropriate, including settling the subject of the Third Party Claim with the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitee defends the subject of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9.4(c), the Indemnitor shall cooperate with the Indemnitee and its counsel, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost, risk and expense, in all reasonable respects, and shall deliver to the Indemnitee or its counsel copies of all pleadings and other information within the Indemnitor’s knowledge or possession reasonably requested by the Indemnitee or its counsel that are relevant to the defense of the subject of any such Third Party Claim and that will not prejudice the Indemnitor’s position, claims or defenses. The Indemnitee shall maintain confidentiality with respect to all such information consistent with the conduct of a defense hereunder.

9.5 Payment. All payments owing under this Article IX shall be made promptly as indemnifiable Losses are incurred.

9.6 Limitations on Indemnification by Seller and the Stockholders.

(a) Basket. Subject to Section 9.6(c), a Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to make a claim for indemnification for any Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(i) until the aggregate amount of all claims for Losses exceeds Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the “Basket Amount”). For purposes of this Section 9.6, any single Loss that is less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) shall be disregarded; provided, however, that any series of Losses arising out of the same occurrence shall be aggregated and treated as a single Loss. For greater certainty, subject to the preceding sentence, a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make a claim for indemnification for amounts less than the Basket Amount. In the event the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Threshold, then Seller and the Stockholders shall indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to the amount of all Losses in excess of the Basket Amount, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 9.6.

(b) Cap. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document to the contrary, except as provided in Section 9.6(c), the aggregate liability of Seller and the Stockholders under this Article IX for all claims arising under Section 9.2(i) shall not exceed Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,800,000).

(c) Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitations set forth in Sections 9.6(a) and 9.6(b) shall not apply to Losses arising from: (i) the Excluded Liabilities; (ii) the Unauthorized Practice of Law; (iii) lack of full compliance with immigration Law in connection with employees; (iv) the fraud of Seller; or (v) a breach by Seller of the Special Representations.

9.7 Additional Limitations. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions contained herein are intended solely for the benefit of the Persons expressly identified in this Article IX (and their permitted successors and assigns), and are in no way intended to, nor shall they, constitute an agreement for the benefit of, or be enforceable by, any other Person.

9.8 Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

9.9 Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Seller, Stockholders and Buyer each agree that Article IX constitutes the exclusive right and remedy for breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and will be in lieu of all other remedies available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will prevent any party from bringing an action based upon fraud or willful misconduct by the other party in connection with this Agreement.

ARTICLE X: CERTAIN OTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

10.1 Certain Acknowledgements.

(a) The parties hereto have determined that it is essential to realizing the value of the Acquired Assets, including the Goodwill, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, that Buyer obtain the agreements of Seller and the Stockholders (together, the “Restricted Persons” and each, a “Restricted Person”) set forth in this Agreement, including undertakings of each Restricted Person to protect certain Business Proprietary Information and Confidential Records and not to engage in the solicitation of certain personnel or Customers and of certain Restricted Persons not to engage in certain competitive activities, and as to certain other matters, all as provided in this Agreement. Accordingly, Buyer has required that the covenants and agreements contained in this Article X be delivered in this Agreement as a condition to Buyer’s willingness to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each Restricted Person has agreed to do so.

(b) Each Restricted Person acknowledges and agrees that it is fair, reasonable and necessary, for the protection of the value of the business, operations, prestige, reputation and goodwill of the Business and of the Acquired Assets to be sold by Seller and purchased by Buyer hereunder, that each Restricted Person make the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement applicable to such Restricted Person.

(c) Each Restricted Person acknowledges that Buyer would not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the assurance that each Restricted Person will not engage in any of the activities prohibited by Sections 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 applicable to such Restricted Person for the periods set forth therein. Each Stockholder understands that the provisions of Sections 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, as may be applicable, may limit such Stockholder’s ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the Business, but

nevertheless agrees and hereby acknowledges that the consideration provided under this Agreement is sufficient to justify the restrictions contained in such provisions. Each Restricted Person agrees to restrict such Restricted Person’s actions as provided for in Sections 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5. Each Restricted Person further acknowledges that the scope and duration of the restrictions set forth in Sections 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 are reasonable in light of the specific nature and duration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the payments made under this Agreement to Seller, of which the Stockholders are the sole stockholders. In consideration thereof, and in light of each such Stockholder’s education, skills and abilities, each Stockholder agrees not to assert in any forum that the provisions of Sections 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 applicable to such Stockholder prevent such Stockholder from earning a living or otherwise are void or unenforceable or should be held void or unenforceable.

10.2 Business Proprietary Information, Confidential Records, Intellectual Property Rights.

(a) Confidentiality Agreement. The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the Closing, at which time Buyer’s confidentiality obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate to the extent they relate to the Acquired Assets and the Business that is the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(b) Confidential Information. Each Restricted Person covenants that neither such Restricted Person nor any of its Affiliates shall at any time after the Closing, directly or indirectly, use for such Restricted Person’s or any of its Affiliates’ own purpose or for the benefit of any Person or disclose, any Business Proprietary Information to any Person, unless such use or disclosure has been authorized in writing by Buyer.

(c) Confidentiality and Surrender of Records. Each Restricted Person covenants that neither such Restricted Person nor any of such Restricted Person’s Affiliates shall at any time directly or indirectly publish, make known or in any fashion disclose any Confidential Records to, or permit any inspection or copying of Confidential Records by, any Person other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates, nor shall any of them retain the same, and each of them will deliver promptly to Buyer any of the same upon the Closing, except that this Section 10.2(c) shall not prohibit the retention of a copy of such Confidential Records by any Restricted Person, at such Restricted Person’s own cost and expense, as is reasonably necessary for such Restricted Person’s and his, her or its Affiliates’ financial reporting and accounting matters, including the preparation of Tax Returns and other reports or filings or enforcement of its rights. For purposes hereof, “Confidential Records” means all correspondence, memoranda, files, manuals, books, lists, financial, operating or marketing records, magnetic tape, or electronic or other media or equipment of any kind which may be in the possession of any Restricted Person or any of such Restricted Person’s Affiliates or under any of their control or accessible to any of them which contain or relate to any Business Proprietary Information, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, and which relate to the Business or belong to Seller or a Stockholder. All Confidential Records shall be and remain the sole property of Buyer from and after the Closing.

(d) Certain Permitted Disclosures and Uses. None of Section 10.2(a), 10.2(b) or 10.2(c) above shall prevent any disclosure required by Law or by order of a Governmental Entity; provided, that prior to any such disclosure, the Restricted Person proposing to make such disclosure shall give Buyer prompt written notice of any such requirement and shall cooperate with Buyer in preventing such disclosure and/or in obtaining a protective order or other means of protecting the confidentiality of all Business Proprietary Information and Confidential Records.

10.3 Non-Competition.

(a) Restriction. Except on behalf of Buyer as approved by Buyer in writing, during the Restricted Period, no Restricted Person shall, for himself, itself or any other Person, directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, join, control, participate in, invest in, fund, advise or otherwise be connected or associated with, in any manner (including as an Affiliate, stockholder, partner, member, principal, manager, employee, independent contractor, agent, representative, advisor, proprietor, trustee, owner or investor), any Competing Business located, operating or doing business in the Territory.

The restriction set forth in this Section 10.3(a) shall not prevent a Restricted Person from purchasing or otherwise acquiring less than one percent (1%) of any class of the securities of any Competing Business (but may not otherwise participate in the activities of such Competing Business) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(b) Restricted Period. For purposes hereof, “Restricted Period” means the period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing for a period of five (5) years thereafter; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Restricted Persons are not otherwise in breach of any material obligations under this Agreement beyond any applicable cure period, the Restricted Period shall immediately terminate if Buyer fails to pay any amounts due under Sections 3.2(c) and 3.2(d) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after written notice of nonpayment from Seller to Buyer.

(b) persuade or seek to persuade any Restricted Customer or any purchaser of services from Seller, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which it has customarily done with Seller, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates, as applicable, or contemplates doing with Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates, whether or not the relationship between Seller, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates and such Restricted Customer was originally established in whole or in part through the efforts of Seller;

(c) take any action which is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to harm, disparage, defame, slander, or lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or otherwise take any action which might detrimentally affect the reputation, image, relationships or public view of Buyer or any of its Affiliates; or

(d) attempt to do or do any of the foregoing, or assist, permit, entice, induce, encourage or allow any of such Restricted Person’s Affiliates, members, stockholders, or personnel or any other Person to do or attempt to do any activity which, were it done by Seller, would violate any provision of this Section 10.4.

10.5 No Hiring of Transferred Personnel. For a period ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, no Restricted Person shall, for himself, herself, itself or any other Person, and each Restricted Person shall cause his, her or its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, recruit, solicit, or hire any Transferred Personnel, nor shall such Restricted Person or his, her or its Affiliates encourage any Transferred Personnel to terminate his or her employment or relationship with Buyer or its Affiliates; provided that this Section 10.5 shall not prohibit such Restricted Person from recruiting, soliciting or hiring any Transferred Personnel after such Transferred Personnel has been terminated by Buyer or its Affiliates (other than in connection with a transfer of such Transferred Personnel to Buyer or one of its Affiliates), if such Restricted Person or his, her or its Affiliates did not directly or indirectly have any communications prior to such termination regarding the prospect of employment after the Closing with a Restricted Person or his, her or its Affiliates with such Transferred Personnel. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 10.5, “Transferred Personnel” shall include all Persons listed in the Reviewer Database.

10.6 Independence Rules and Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document to the contrary, if performance of or compliance with any agreement or covenant of Buyer under this Agreement or any Transaction Document is determined in good faith by Buyer or its Affiliates to be inconsistent with or in violation of Buyer’s or any such Affiliate’s obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of any Governmental Entity or professional entity (including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) that are applicable to Buyer or its Affiliates, then Buyer (upon notice to Seller) shall not be obligated to perform or comply with such agreement or covenant, and Seller shall not be entitled to receive any benefit in connection with such agreement or covenant. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall not incur any liability to Seller as a result of any failure to so perform or comply pursuant to this Section 10.6.

10.7 Specific Performance. Each Restricted Person acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of, among other things, the extraordinary value of the Business Proprietary Information and Confidential Records, his, her or its access to and use of such information and records, and his, her or its unique knowledge of and contacts relating to the Business, any violation of the undertakings contained in this Article X would cause Buyer immediate, substantial and irreparable injury for which it has no adequate remedy at Law. Accordingly, in the event of any violation or threatened violation of any undertaking contained in this Article X, without limiting any other remedy available to Buyer, each Restricted Person agrees and consents to the entry of an injunction or other equitable relief by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Restricted Person waives posting by Buyer of any bond or any proof of actual damages otherwise necessary to secure such injunction or other equitable relief.

12.2 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the Transaction Documents, and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among any of the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter herein and therein. Except for the rights of any Seller Indemnified Parties or Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article IX, no provisions of this Agreement are intended, nor should they be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or remedies, or any other rights or remedies, of any kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement in any Person, or the legal representatives of such Person, other than the parties to this Agreement.

12.3 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by, and construed in accordance with, the internal Laws of the State of Illinois applicable to agreements made and fully performed within the State of Illinois.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the County of Xxxx in the State of Illinois, and of the United States of America located in the State of Illinois, for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any litigation arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the County of Xxxx in the State of Illinois, or of the United States of America located in the State of Illinois, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such litigation shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suits on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

12.4 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

12.5 Assignment. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller or any Stockholder, on the other hand, without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that, without the consent of Seller or any Stockholder, Buyer may (in whole or in part) transfer, assign or delegate its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any one or more of its Affiliates; provided, further, that, after the Closing, without the consent of Seller or any Stockholder, Buyer may (in whole or in part) transfer, assign or delegate its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Person. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No transfer, assignment or delegation of rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement by Buyer shall operate as a release of Buyer.

12.6 Waiver; Amendment; Remedies Cumulative. No waiver of any term, condition or obligation of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the waiving party. No failure or delay by any party hereto at any time to require the other parties hereto to perform strictly in accordance with the terms hereof shall preclude any party hereto from requiring performance by the other parties hereto at any later time. No waiver of any one or several of the terms, conditions or obligations of this Agreement, and no partial waiver thereof, shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other terms, conditions or obligations of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, changed or modified in any fashion except by written instrument signed by Buyer, Seller and the Stockholder Representative, on his own behalf and as representative of the other Stockholders pursuant to Section 12.13.

12.8 Public Announcements.

Subject to Section 7.2, neither Buyer nor Seller shall contact the personnel of the other party (other than the personnel of Buyer or Seller working on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) without the prior consent of the other party.

(b) The Buyer and Seller shall prepare a provisional press release and other publicity materials for use in the event that the process of soliciting the approval of the Seller’s Customers results in the transactions contemplated hereby becoming publicly known prior to the Closing, or in the event of trade, press or other media enquiries resulting therefrom. Such materials shall not be used or publicly released without the prior written consent of Buyer and Seller.

12.9 Right of Setoff.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document to the contrary, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that, in addition to any other right of Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party under this Agreement, under any Transaction Document or otherwise, Buyer shall be entitled from time to time to setoff against any amounts otherwise required to be paid by Buyer to Seller or its designee pursuant to this Agreement, any Transaction Document, or otherwise, any amounts owed at such time by Seller or its designee to Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

(b) Buyer shall not effect any setoff hereunder unless it shall have given Seller and the Stockholders not less than five (5) Business Days notice that it intends to effect such setoff, and shall have included in such notice all materially relevant details of the amount claimed by Buyer to be owed to it with respect to which it claims setoff. Any dispute as to the right of Buyer to such amount shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.3.

(c) In the case of any such setoff by Buyer, Buyer’s obligation to make such payment (or any portion thereof) pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed fully satisfied and discharged to the extent of such setoff.

12.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, including Article X or any part thereof, or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstances shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to such Person or circumstances other than those to which it is so determined to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law. If any provision of this Agreement, including Article X, or any part thereof, is held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the scope or duration of or the area covered by such provision, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall reform the scope, duration and/or area of such provision (and shall substitute appropriate provisions for any

such invalid or unenforceable provisions) in order to make such provision enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and/or shall delete specific words and phrases, and such modified provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

12.11 Representation by Counsel. Each party hereto acknowledges that such party has been advised and represented by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and accordingly agrees that if an ambiguity exists with respect to any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall not be construed against any party because such party or such party’s representatives drafted such provision.

The Seller shall promptly notify Buyer upon such party or any personnel of Seller receiving or becoming aware of any Acquisition Proposal and shall promptly provide Buyer with a copy of any such written Acquisition Proposal or a written summary of any such oral Acquisition Proposal.

12.13 Stockholder Representative. By executing this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby agrees that Buyer, Seller and the other Indemnified Parties shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to deal exclusively with Xxxx Xxxx (the “Stockholder Representative”) as the sole and exclusive representative and agent of the Stockholders in respect of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and all matters arising under or pertaining to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including any amendment or waiver of any term or provision hereof or thereof; provided, that if the Stockholder Representative is unavailable for any reason, any other individual so designated by Seller can act as representative and agent for the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 12.13.

12.14 Facsimile Signature; Counterparts. Facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format of any signed original document or retransmission of any signed facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format will be deemed the same as delivery of an original.
