17

Adjusted Schedule 2.5(a). Buyer shall periodically consult with Sellers’
Representative regarding the actions taken pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) and
shall otherwise update Sellers’ Representative regarding such actions and the
results thereof. The amount by which the Indirect Tax Liabilities set forth on

the Statement of any objection to the calculation of the Closing Date Working
Capital, Closing Date Net Indebtedness, Closing Date Net Cash or Closing Date
Company Transaction Expenses (the “Notice of Objection”), the Statement shall
become final and binding. During such 30-day period, Sellers’ Representative and
Buyer will make available for review by each other its respective books,
records, work papers and other documents and information relating to the Closing

Representative. Any Notice of Objection shall specify in reasonable detail the

within the 30-day period set forth in Section 2.4(c)(i), Sellers’ Representative
and Buyer shall, during the 30-day period following Buyer’s receipt of the

Sellers’ Representative’s objections. If Sellers’ Representative and Buyer are

Period, the matters remaining in dispute shall be submitted to a nationally
recognized public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Sellers’
Representative and Buyer and, if Sellers’ Representative and Buyer are unable to
so agree within ten (10) days after the end of the Resolution Period, then the

the accounting firm that Buyer desired to resolve such dispute shall mutually
select a different nationally recognized public accounting firm (such selected
firm, which shall not have represented the Company or its Affiliates or served
as Buyer’s (or its Affiliates) principal independent registered public
accounting firm, during the immediately preceding three (3) years prior to the
submission of such matters to it, being the “Accountant”) to resolve the
dispute. After the end of the Resolution Period, neither Sellers’ Representative
nor Buyer may introduce additional disagreements or increase the amount of any
disagreement, and any item not so identified shall be deemed to be agreed to by
all parties and will be final and binding upon the parties. If any dispute is
submitted to the Accountant, each party will furnish to the Accountant such work
papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as
the Accountant may request and are available to that party or its independent
accountants (including information of the Company) and each party shall be
afforded the opportunity to present the Accountant material relating to the
determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountant. The
Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall resolve
matters in dispute and adjust and establish any disputed Statement amount to
reflect such resolution. It is the intent of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative
that the process set forth in this Section 2.5(c) and the activities of the
Accountant in connection herewith are not intended to be and, in fact, are not
arbitration and that no formal arbitration rules shall be followed (including
rules with respect to procedures and discovery). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the scope of the Accountant’s review of any dispute
between Buyer and Sellers’ Representative regarding the Statement and/or the
calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital, Closing Date Net Indebtedness,
Closing Date Net Cash or Closing Date Company Transaction Expenses pursuant to
this Section 2.5(c) shall be limited solely to the resolution of the objections
to the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital, Closing Date Net
Indebtedness, Closing Date Net Cash or Closing Date Company Transaction Expenses
that are set forth in the Notice of Objection, and the Accountant shall have no
authority over any other disagreement (including questions of Law,
interpretation of contract, and fraud). The parties shall instruct the
Accountant to render its reasoned written decision as promptly as practicable
but in no event later than sixty (60) days after its selection. The resolution
of disputed items by the Accountant shall be final and binding on Buyer, the
Company and Sellers, and the determination of the Accountant shall constitute an
arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a
judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover. The fees and
expenses of the Accountant (the “Accountant Fees”) shall be allocated between
Buyer and Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers) so that Sellers’
Representative shall be responsible for an amount equal to (A) the Accountant
Fees, multiplied by (B) the quotient of (x) the aggregate dollar value of issues
in dispute submitted to the Accountant that are resolved in a manner favorable
to Buyer (as finally determined by the Accountant), divided by (y) the total
dollar value of the issues in dispute so submitted, and Buyer shall be
responsible for the remainder of such fees and expenses.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    Within five (5) Business Days after the Statement has become final and
binding in accordance with this Section 2.5:
(i)    The Estimated Purchase Price shall be increased, on a dollar for dollar
basis, by the amount (if any) by which the Closing Date Working Capital (as
finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or (c)) is more than the Estimated
Closing Date Working Capital, or decreased, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the
amount (if any) by which the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is more than
the Closing Date Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to
Section 2.5(b) or (c)).
(ii)    The Estimated Purchase Price shall be decreased, on a dollar for dollar
basis, by the amount (if any) by which the Closing Date Net Indebtedness (as
finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or (c)) is more than the Estimated
Closing Date Net Indebtedness, or increased, on a dollar for dollar basis, by
the amount (if any) by which the Estimated Closing Date Net Indebtedness is more
than the Closing Date Net Indebtedness (as finally determined pursuant to
Section 2.5(b) or (c)).
(iii)    The Estimated Purchase Price shall be increased, on a dollar for dollar
basis, by the amount (if any) by which the Closing Date Net Cash (as finally
determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or (c)) is more than the Estimated Closing
Date Net Cash, or decreased, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount (if
any) by which the Estimated Closing Date Net Cash is more than the Closing Date
Net Cash (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or (c)).
(iv)    The Estimated Purchase Price shall be decreased, on a dollar for dollar
basis, by the amount (if any) by which the Closing Date Company Transaction
Expenses (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or (c)) is more than
the Estimated Closing Date Company Transaction Expenses, or increased, on a
dollar for dollar basis, by the amount (if any) by which the Estimated Closing
Date Company Transaction Expenses is more than the Closing Date Company
Transaction Expenses (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or (c)).
(v)    Without duplication, all increases or decreases set forth in
Section 2.5(d)(i)-(iv) above shall be aggregated (and shall be set off against
each other, such that a single amount shall be used for adjustment) and the
Estimated Purchase Price shall be increased (the amount of such increase, the
“Surplus”) or decreased (the amount of such decrease, the “Deficit”), as the
case may be. If the adjustment provisions of this Section 2.5(d) result in a
Surplus, then Buyer shall (A) pay to the Holders an aggregate amount in cash
equal to the Surplus plus an amount equal to the Interest Rate multiplied by the
Surplus, and (B) shall cause the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount to be
immediately distributed from the Escrow Account to the Holders. If the
adjustment provisions of this Section 2.5(d) result in a Deficit, then Buyer
shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the Deficit plus an
amount equal to the Interest Rate multiplied by the Deficit from the Holders
payable first from the Escrow Account up to the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount
and in the event the Deficit plus such interest amount exceeds the Purchase
Price Adjustment Amount, then Buyer shall be entitled to recover such shortfall
amount directly from Sellers. If any portion of the Purchase Price Adjustment
Amount remains in the Escrow Account after payment of the Deficit to Buyer
pursuant to the preceding sentence, such remaining portion of the Purchase Price
Adjustment Amount shall be immediately distributed from the Escrow Account to
the Holders.

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(vi)    For purposes hereof, “Interest Rate” means the prime rate of interest in
effect at such time (as published in the Wall Street Journal), calculated on the
basis of the number of days elapsed over 360, from the Closing Date to the date
of payment.
(vii)    Any payments owed to the Holders by Buyer under this Section 2.5 shall
be delivered by wire transfer of immediately available funds using the
instructions set forth Schedule I, or shall be deposited in an account or
accounts designated by Sellers’ Representative. Any payments owed to Buyer by
the Holders or Sellers (as the case may be) under this Section 2.5 shall be
deposited in an account or accounts designated by Buyer.
(viii)    All amounts paid to the Holders under this Section 2.5 shall be
allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Holder Pro Rata
Percentages set forth on Schedule I, or as Sellers’ Representative may otherwise
direct.
(ix)    All amounts paid to Buyer under this Section 2.5 shall be allocated
among the Holders or Sellers, as applicable, or their respective assignees in
accordance with their Holder Pro Rata Percentages or Seller Pro Rata
Percentages, respectively, set forth in Schedule I, or as Sellers’
Representative may otherwise direct.
(e)    Any amounts paid pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall be
deemed to be and treated, to the extent permitted by Law, as an adjustment to
the Purchase Price.
Section 2.6    Earnout.
(a)    Earnout Payment. In addition to the consideration payable to Sellers and
the other Holders (as the case may be) pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.3 and Section
2.5 hereof, Buyer shall pay to the Holders an amount in cash equal to the
Earnout Amount for the corresponding Earnout Period allocated among them in
accordance with their respective Holder Pro Rata Percentages set forth in
Schedule I, or as Sellers’ Representative may otherwise direct in writing.
Schedule 2.6(a) sets forth sample calculations of the Earnout Amounts for
illustrative purposes only.
(b)    Time for Determination.
(ii)    Not later than 5:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia time on the date that is
seventy-five (75) days following the date on which Buyer’s fiscal year ends for
each Earnout Period, Buyer shall determine the Earnout Revenue for such Earnout
Period (the “Applicable Earnout Revenue”) and deliver to Sellers’ Representative
a copy of such computation. Unless Sellers’ Representative notifies Buyer in
writing on or before 5:00 p.m. Atlanta, Georgia time on the date that is thirty
(30) days after Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of such computation of any
objection to the determination of the Applicable Earnout Revenue (an “Earnout
Objection Notice”), such computation of the Applicable Earnout Revenue shall
become final and binding. During such 30-day period, Buyer will make available
for review by Sellers’ Representative its books, records, work papers and other
documents and information relating to the computation of the Applicable Earnout
Revenue as may be reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative. Any Earnout
Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the objections
set forth therein.

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)    If Sellers’ Representative provides the Earnout Objection Notice to
Buyer the 30-day period set forth in Section 2.6(b)(i), Sellers’ Representative
and Buyer shall, during the 30-day period following Buyer’s receipt of the
Earnout Objection Notice (the “Earnout Resolution Period”), attempt in good
faith to resolve Sellers’ Representative’s objections. If Sellers’
Representative and Buyer are unable to resolve all such objections prior to the
expiration of the Earnout Resolution Period, the matters remaining in dispute
shall be submitted to the Accountant to resolve the dispute. After the end of
the Earnout Resolution Period, neither Sellers’ Representative nor Buyer may
introduce additional disagreements or increase the amount of any disagreement,
and any item not so identified shall be deemed to be agreed to by all parties
and will be final and binding upon the parties. If any dispute is submitted to
the Accountant, each party will furnish to the Accountant such work papers and
other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the
Accountant may request and are available to that party or its independent
accountants (including information of the Company) and each party shall be
afforded the opportunity to present the Accountant material relating to the
determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountant. The
Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall resolve
matters in dispute and adjust and establish the disputed Applicable Earnout
Revenue to reflect such resolution. It is the intent of Buyer and Sellers’
Representative that the process set forth in this Section 2.6(b) and the
activities of the Accountant in connection herewith are not intended to be and,
in fact, are not arbitration and that no formal arbitration rules shall be
followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the scope of the
Accountant’s review of any dispute between Buyer and Sellers’ Representative
regarding the Applicable Earnout Revenue pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall
be limited solely to the resolution of the objections to the calculation of the
Applicable Earnout Revenue that are set forth in the Earnout Objection Notice,
and the Accountant shall have no authority over any other disagreement
(including questions of Law, interpretation of contract, and fraud). The parties
shall instruct the Accountant to render its reasoned written decision as
promptly as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such
dispute is submitted to the Accountant. The resolution of disputed items by the
Accountant shall be final and binding, and the determination of the Accountant
shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and
upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover.
The fees and expenses of the Accountant under this Section 2.6 shall be
allocated in a manner consistent with the last sentence of Section 2.5(c)(ii).
(iv)    The Earnout Amount for each Earnout Period shall be paid to the Holders
in accordance with their respective Holder Pro Rata Percentages set forth in
Schedule I, or as Sellers’ Representative may otherwise direct, within five (5)
Business Days after the Applicable Earnout Revenue has become final and binding
in accordance with this Section 2.6(b).
(c)    Earnout Covenants. Subject to Section 2.6(d), Buyer shall conduct and
manage its business (including, with regard to the Company) in good faith and
Buyer shall also act in good faith in the best interests of Buyer’s business
(including the Company) with regard to any action that it takes or omits to take
after the Closing that could be reasonably expected to impede the opportunity of
the Holders to be entitled to receive, pursuant to this Section 2.6, the maximum
Earnout Amount for each Earnout Period. From and after the Closing, neither
Buyer nor its Subsidiaries (including the Company) will have any obligation to
conduct their respective businesses

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) outside of the Ordinary Course of Business or (ii) in a manner that
disadvantages the long term growth of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the
Company) in favor of short term earnings or maximizing the Earnout Amounts;
provided that, Buyer will not take (and will cause the Company not to take) any
action the primary intent or purpose of which is to impede or delay payment of
the Earnout Amounts.
(d)    Acceleration of Earnout. If, during any Earnout Period, Buyer enters into
or permits any Future Sale of the Business, then Buyer shall pay, or cause the
successor entity to pay, to the Holders, promptly upon the occurrence of such
Future Sale of the Business, the maximum aggregate Earnout Amounts for the
entire 2015 Earnout Period and the entire 2016 Earnout Period, less any Earnout
Amount already paid to the Holders or which was unearned in respect of any prior
Earnout Period as of the date on which such Future Sale of the Business occurs
(collectively, the “Acceleration Amount”), and the provisions of Section 2.6(c)
shall be of no further force or effect thereafter. Buyer shall notify Sellers’
Representative within five (5) Business Days following the occurrence of such
Future Sale of the Business and, within thirty (30) days of such Future Sale of
the Business, shall transfer the Acceleration Amount to the Holders, in
accordance with their respective Holder Pro Rata Percentages, by wire transfer
of immediately available funds using the instructions set forth in Schedule I,
or as otherwise directed by Sellers’ Representative.
(e)    Acknowledgement of the Parties. Buyer, the Company and Sellers’
Representative, on behalf of Sellers, acknowledge: (i) the payment of the
Earnout Amounts hereunder are an integral part of the consideration to be
received by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby; (ii) the right of Sellers to a portion of the Earnout Amounts is not
transferable other than by operation of law or pursuant to the laws of descent
and distribution; (iii) the right of Sellers to a portion of the Earnout Amounts
shall not be represented by a certificate or other instrument, shall not
represent an ownership interest in Buyer, and shall not entitle any Seller to
any rights common to any holder of Buyer Common Stock; and (iv) the right of
Sellers to payment of the Earnout Amounts shall not bear any interest.
Section 2.7    Withholding.
Each of Buyer, the Escrow Agent and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to
Sellers or any other Person such amounts as Buyer, the Escrow Agent or the
Company, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code,
or other applicable Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the
extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated
for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect
of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

authorization of the Company’s management and directors, and (B) regarding
prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the

Financial Statements, and (ii) for Permitted Encumbrances and such other
Encumbrances and imperfections of title that do not materially affect the value

property, the Company has good and marketable indefeasible fee simple title,
free and clear of Encumbrances, to all of the personal property reflected in the
Financial Statements, and all personal property acquired since the date of the
Financial Statements, except such personal property as has been disposed of in
the Ordinary Course of Business for adequate consideration and except for liens,
security interests, claims, charges, or other such other Encumbrances as have
been appropriately reserved for in the Financial Statements. The Company is not
a party to any agreement or option to purchase any real property or interest
therein.
(b)    Schedule 4.6(b) sets forth a true, correct and complete list of the

obligations required to be performed by it to date under each Lease, (ii) the
Company has not received a notice of default or termination with respect to any

to any such Lease has been applied in respect of a breach or default under such

otherwise granted any Person the right to use or occupy the estate or interest
created by any such Lease or any portion thereof, (viii) the Company has not
collaterally assigned or granted any other security interest in any such Lease

material respects.
(c)    Schedule 4.6(c) sets forth a summary of all insurance policies and bonds,
pursuant to which the Company is an insured party or a beneficiary, or under
which the Company or any of its directors or officers, in his or her capacity as
such, is covered (collectively, the “Policies”). The Company has, prior to the
date of this Agreement, made available to Buyer correct and complete copies of
all Policies. The Company is in material compliance with the Policies and is not
in default under any of the material terms thereof. Each Policy is outstanding
and in full force and effect and all premiums and other payments due under any
Policy have been paid in due and timely fashion, and the Company has not
received any notice of a cancellation, or, to the Knowledge of the Company,
threatened termination or premium increase with respect to any such Policies.

material respects for compliance with all requirements of applicable Law and all
material Contracts to which the Company is a party or is otherwise bound.

efforts to obtain the Section 280G Approval in a manner which satisfies all
applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations

Schedule Supplement”); provided, that a Disclosure Schedule Supplement may only
amend sections of this Agreement to reflect actions, events, conditions,
circumstances or matters (a) occurring or arising after the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, and (b) which are not the result of the failure by
any Seller or the Company to perform or comply with any covenant set forth in
this Agreement. The sections to the Disclosure Schedule as amended by any such
Disclosure Schedule Supplement shall be effective for all purposes of this
Agreement; provided, that such Disclosure Schedule Supplement shall not affect
Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.1(b).

believes is necessary or appropriate in complying with its public reporting
obligations under applicable Securities Laws or the rules of any applicable
stock exchange.

terminate and be of no further force or effect without further action of any
Seller or the Company upon the Closing.

payment of, remit or otherwise satisfy, the Indirect Tax Liabilities or (b)
negotiate the resolution of such Indirect Tax Liabilities with the customers of
the Company and/or the applicable state, local, federal or foreign Tax
authorities. Concurrently with the Company’s delivery of the Estimated Closing

ARTICLE 9    
ACTIONS BY SELLERS AND BUYER AFTER THE CLOSING
Section 9.1    Confidentiality.
From and after the Closing, except as required by applicable Law, each Seller
agrees, severally and not jointly, with Buyer that such Seller shall, and shall
cause its Affiliates and authorized representatives to, hold all Confidential
Information that such Seller possesses concerning the Company and the Business
in confidence and not disclose to any third party any such Confidential
Information possessed by it, unless such information (a) is disclosed with the
prior written approval of Buyer, (b) is or becomes readily available to the
public without breach of the terms hereof, or (c) is required to be disclosed by
Law, regulation, supervisory authority, other applicable judicial or
governmental order or applicable stock exchange rules. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Seller agrees to return to the Company on or before the Closing
all Confidential Information such Seller possesses concerning the Company,
except such Confidential Information as such Seller is required to maintain for
a valid legal or business purpose. In the event that this Agreement is
terminated or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement otherwise fail to
be consummated, Buyer promptly will cause all copies of documents or extracts
thereof containing information and data as to Sellers or the Company to be
returned to Sellers at Buyer’s expense, or (at Buyer’s option) confirm in
writing to Sellers that Buyer has completely destroyed all such copies,
documents, extracts, information and data.
Section 9.2    Further Assurances.
On and after the Closing Date, Sellers, Sellers’ Representative, the Company and
Buyer will take all appropriate action and execute all documents, instruments or
conveyances of any kind which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry
out any of the provisions hereof.
Section 9.3    Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.
The covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 9.3 shall be between each
Restricted Seller (severally, and not jointly with any other Restricted Seller
or any other Seller) and Buyer only, with no other Sellers being party to this
Section 9.3. Subject to the foregoing and in further consideration for the
payment of the Purchase Price and in order to protect the value of the Purchased
Shares purchased by Buyer (including the goodwill inherent in the Company as of
the Closing):
(a)    Each Restricted Seller, severally and not jointly, agrees that, during
the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date which is three
(3) years following the Closing Date, he shall not, within the United States of
America, without the prior written consent of Buyer and except for the ownership
of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding voting securities of an entity
whose voting securities are traded on a national securities exchange or quoted
on a recognized automated quotation system, directly or indirectly, either on
his own behalf or on the behalf of any other Person, own, manage, control,
participate in, consult with, render services for, permit his name to be used in
connection with or in any other manner engage in all or any portion of the
Business, as it is being conducted as of the date of this Agreement. For
purposes of this Section 9.3, the term “participate” includes any direct or
indirect interest in any enterprise, whether as an officer, director, employee,
partner, sole proprietor, agent, representative, independent contractor, seller,
franchisor, franchisee, creditor or owner.
(b)    Each Restricted Seller agrees, severally and not jointly, that, for a
period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date two (2)
years following the Closing Date, neither he nor his Affiliates or
representatives will, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit for employment any of
the Continuing Employees or (ii) call on, solicit, or provide services to any
Person who at any time during the two (2) year period prior to the Closing Date
was a customer, client or licensee of the Company (a “Business Client”) for the
purpose of providing to such Person services or products that are within the
Business (as it is conducted as of the Closing Date), or encourage, induce or
solicit, or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit, any Business Client to
cease doing business with the Company; provided, however, that it is understood
that this Section 9.3(b) shall not, in the case of clause (i), prohibit
generalized solicitations by advertising and the like which are not directed to
the Continuing Employees.
(c)    Each Restricted Seller acknowledges that the restrictions and agreements
contained in this Section 9.3 are reasonable and necessary to protect the
legitimate interests of Buyer, and that any violation of this Section 9.3 by
such Restricted Seller will cause substantial and irreparable injury to Buyer
that would not be quantifiable and for which no adequate remedy would exist at
law, and agrees that injunctive relief, in addition to all other remedies, shall
be available therefor. Each Restricted Seller further acknowledges that the
restrictions and agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are integral to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that without the
protection of such restrictions and agreements, Buyer would not have entered
into this Agreement.
(d)    It is the intent and understanding of Buyer and each Restricted Seller
that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce
this Section 9.3, any term, restriction, covenant, or promise is found to be
unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction,
covenant or promise shall not thereby be terminated, but shall be deemed
modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency
and, if it cannot be so modified, that it shall be deemed amended to delete
therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable,
such modification or amendment in any event to apply only with respect to the
operation of this Section 9.3 in the particular jurisdiction in which such
adjudication is made.
Section 9.4    Post-Closing Cooperation and Retention of Records.
(e)    Buyer and Sellers agree that following the Closing, each party and/or
their independent auditors shall have reasonable access during normal business
hours to the books and records of the Company and its predecessors applicable to
the period prior to the Closing, and shall have the reasonable assistance and
cooperation of appropriate personnel consistent with assistance and cooperation
furnished during the period prior to the Closing, in each case in connection
with the audit, reporting, Litigation or similar needs of Sellers. This
Section 9.4(a) shall not apply to any books, records or other matters relating
to Taxes, which shall be governed by Article 11 hereof.
(f)    Following the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, (i)
subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.4(b), preserve and keep the
records of the Company held by the Company prior to the Closing relating to the
Business (including personnel records) for so long as and to the extent required
by applicable Law (but in no event less than three (3) years after the Closing
Date), and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, make such records and
personnel available to Sellers and their Affiliates, subject to customary
confidentiality commitments reasonable under the circumstances, as may be
reasonably required by any such party in connection with any insurance claims
by, legal proceedings against or investigations by any governmental authority
of, Sellers or any of their Affiliates or for similar matters or to enable
Sellers to comply with their obligations under applicable Law and this
Agreement. In the event Buyer or any of its Affiliates wishes to destroy any
such records after that time in accordance with its normal document retention
policy, then Buyer shall (or shall cause such Affiliate to) give thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice to Sellers and (to the extent permitted by applicable
Law) Sellers shall have the right at their option and expense, upon prior
written notice given within such 30-day period, to take possession of the
records within sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given. Sellers
shall reimburse Buyer for the cost incurred by Buyer of providing such
assistance (including reasonably allocated charges for the cost of the time of
any employees of Buyer or the Company made available to Sellers). This Section
9.4(b) shall not apply to any books, records or other matters relating to Taxes,
which shall be governed by Article 11 hereof.
Section 9.5    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
For a period of at least six (6) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause
the charter and bylaws of the Company to contain provisions no less favorable
with respect to the limitation or elimination of liability and indemnification
than are set forth in such charter and bylaws as of the date of this Agreement,
and such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any
manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who at
or prior to the Closing were directors, officers, agents or employees of the
Company or who were otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to such
charter and bylaws. In the event the Company, or any of its respective
successors or assigns (a) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and
shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such
consolidation or merger, or (b) transfers all or substantially all of its
properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, Buyer shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the successors and assigns of
the Company shall assume, at and as of the closing of the applicable transaction
referred to in this Section 9.5, all of the obligations set forth in this
Section 9.5. The provisions of this Section 9.5 are (i) intended to be for the
benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Person entitled to indemnification
under this Section 9.5, and each such Person’s heirs, legatees, representatives,
successors and assigns, it being expressly agreed that such Persons shall be
intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9.5, and (ii) in addition to,
and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification that any such
Person may have by contract or otherwise.
Section 9.6    Continuing Employees.
(a)    For a period of at least one (1) year following the Closing Date, Buyer
shall provide, or shall cause the Company to provide, to the Continuing
Employees (so long as they are employees) compensation that is, in the
aggregate, at least as favorable to such employees as the compensation the
Company provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing (including
bonuses, commissions and/or other incentive opportunities at their respective
target opportunity levels, but excluding (i) all items of equity compensation
and related plans or programs and (ii) with respect to Jeff Buck, the life
insurance policy maintained for him by the Company).
(b)    For a period of at least one (1) year following the Closing Date, Buyer
shall provide, or shall cause the Company to provide, to the extent possible
within Buyer’s current plans available through its carriers, to the Continuing
Employees (so long as they are employees) employee benefits that, in the
aggregate, are at least as favorable to such employees and their dependents as
the benefits the Company provided to such employees and their dependents
immediately prior to the Closing. Continuing Employees shall receive credit for
the purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but not for benefit
accruals) under any plan or other program maintained by the Company as of the
Closing Date for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Closing with the
Company; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to
duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. In addition, Buyer
shall waive, or cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to any
pre-existing conditions to the same extent such limitations are waived under any
comparable plan of Buyer or its Subsidiaries and recognize, for purposes of
annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans,
deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Continuing Employees
(effective with their coverage date under Buyer’s plans) in the calendar year in
which the Closing occurs.
(c)    Nothing contained in this Section 9.6 (i) shall alter or limit Buyer or
the Company’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any particular benefit plan,
program, agreement or arrangement, (ii) is intended to confer upon any current
or former employee of the Company any right to employment or continued
employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or (iii) is
intended to confer upon any individual (including employees, retirees, or
dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees) any right as a third-party
beneficiary of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 10    
INDEMNIFICATION AND MUTUAL RELEASE
Section 10.1    Indemnification by Sellers.
(e)    Indemnification. From and after the Closing, subject to the provisions of
this Article 10 and except as provided in Section 10.3 hereof, each Seller,
severally, based on its Seller Pro Rata Percentage set forth in Schedule I,
shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Company, and their
respective Affiliates, and each of their respective past, present and future
directors, officers, agents and representatives (together, the “Buyer
Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered
by, or assessed against, such Buyer Indemnified Party and arising out of or
resulting from:
(i)    the breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made
by the Company or such Seller in Article 4 of this Agreement or in the
certificate delivered by the Company or such Seller pursuant to Section 8.1;
(ii)    the failure by the Company or such Seller to timely perform or comply
with any obligation or covenant of the Company or such Seller, as the case may
be, in this Agreement; or
(iii)    the Company Transaction Expenses, to the extent any such amount thereof
to be paid on or before the closing is not paid in full at Closing (the “Unpaid
Company Transaction Expenses”);
provided, that in the case of Losses arising out of or resulting from the breach
of, or inaccuracy in, any of the Individual Reps made by a given Seller in
Article 4 or the failure to perform or comply with any obligation or covenant to
be performed or complied with by a given Seller, such Seller who made such
Individual Rep or who failed to perform or comply with such obligation or
covenant (and no other Seller) shall be solely responsible for such Losses
pursuant to this Section 10.1(a).
(f)    Limits on Liability. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall seek reimbursement
or indemnification from Sellers for Losses under Section 10.1(a) until the Buyer
Indemnified Parties, as a group, have suffered among them aggregate Losses under
Section 10.1(a) in excess of $159,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the Buyer
Indemnified Parties, as a group, may seek reimbursement or indemnification from
Sellers severally (and not jointly) solely for the amount of such Losses in
excess of the Basket, with each Seller obligated for an amount equal to the
amount of such Losses in excess of the Basket multiplied by such Seller’s Seller
Pro Rata Percentage set forth on Schedule I. No Seller shall have any obligation
under Section 10.1(a) to pay by way of indemnification any amounts exceeding
twenty percent (20%) of the portion of the Purchase Price actually paid to such
Seller (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket and Cap shall not
apply to: (i) Losses resulting from breaches of, or any inaccuracies in, the
representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 (Organization of the
Company), Section 4.2 (Capital Stock), Section 4.3 (Authorization), Section 4.4
(Subsidiaries), Section 4.13 (No Brokers), Section 4.14 (Intellectual Property
and Technology), Section 4.15 (Taxes), Section 4.18 (Receivables) and Section
4.20(c), (d) and (f) (Labor Matters); (ii) Losses described in Section 11.2(a);
(iii) Losses resulting from the failure to perform or comply with the
obligations and covenants of a Seller or the Company in this Agreement; (iv) any
Losses resulting from the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses; or (v) any Losses
resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) except for fraud, intentional
misrepresentation or willful breach, and subject to the limitations set forth
herein, the aggregate liability of any Seller for Losses shall be equal to the
aggregate amount of all payments actually received by such Seller pursuant to
Article 2 hereof and (B) no Seller shall be liable for the willful or
intentional breach of another Seller, or for any act of fraud committed by
another Seller.
(g)    Exclusion from Liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
in this Agreement, and in addition to any other limitations and exclusions set
forth in this Agreement, Sellers shall not indemnify or hold harmless any Buyer
Indemnified Party, and no Buyer Indemnified Party shall seek reimbursement or
indemnity from Sellers for any Losses, unless written demand for reimbursement
of such Losses is made no later than the date that is eighteen (18) months
following the Closing Date, except that such time limitation shall not apply to
the extent a Buyer Indemnified Party seeks reimbursement or indemnification for
Losses resulting from (i) breaches of, or any inaccuracies in, any
representations and warranties set forth in (A) Section 4.14 (Intellectual
Property and Technology), Section 4.16 (Employee Benefit Plans) or Section
4.20(c), (d) and (f) (Labor Matters), in which case written demand for
reimbursement or indemnification must be made within three (3) years from the
Closing Date, (B) Section 4.1 (Organization of the Company), Section 4.2
(Capital Stock), Section 4.3 (Authorization), Section 4.4 (Subsidiaries) or
Section 4.13 (No Brokers), in which case written demand for reimbursement or
indemnification may be made at any time after Closing, and (C) Section 4.15
(Taxes), or the obligations and covenants set forth in Section 11.2(a), in which
each such case written demand for reimbursement or indemnification must be made
within the time period set forth in Section 11.2(e), or (ii) Losses resulting
from the failure to perform or comply with the obligations and covenants of a
Seller and the Company in this Agreement. The representations and warranties of
the Company and Sellers herein shall survive the Closing until the date that is
eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date or, if applicable, the time
periods set forth in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. Any such written
demand must be delivered within the applicable time period set forth in this
Section 10.1(c) and must (x) reasonably describe the Losses (to the extent
known) that the Buyer Indemnified Party has determined in good faith have begun
to accrue but in respect of which the total liability has not yet been fixed or
(y) contain a notice from a third party of a claim that will cause actual Losses
to accrue after such applicable survival period, including pending curtailments,
lawsuits or government investigations, in which case the applicable survival
period will be extended in order to cover the finally determined Losses related
thereto.
Section 10.2    Indemnification by Buyer.
(e)    From and after the Closing, subject to the provisions of this Article 10
and except as provided in Section 10.3 hereof, Buyer shall save, defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their respective Affiliates, and each of
their respective past, present and future directors, officers, agents and
representatives (together, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against
any Losses incurred or suffered by, or assessed against, such Seller Indemnified
Party and arising out of or resulting from:
(i)    the breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made
by Buyer in Article 5 of this Agreement; or
(ii)    the failure by Buyer to timely perform or comply with any obligation or
covenant in this Agreement.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, and in
addition to any other limitations and exclusions set forth in this Agreement,
Buyer shall not indemnify or hold harmless any Seller Indemnified Party, and no
Seller Indemnified Party shall seek reimbursement or indemnity from Buyer for
any Losses, unless written demand for reimbursement of such Losses is made no
later than the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date,
except that such time limitation shall not apply to the extent Sellers seek
reimbursement or indemnification for Losses resulting from (i) breaches of, or
inaccuracies in, any representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1
(Organization of Buyer) or Section 5.2 (Authorization), in which case written
demand for reimbursement may be made at any time after Closing or (ii) Losses
resulting from the failure to perform or comply with the obligations and
covenants of Buyer in this Agreement. Any such written demand must be delivered
within the applicable time period set forth in this Section 10.2(b) and must (A)
reasonably describe the Losses (to the extent known) that the Seller Indemnified
Party has determined in good faith have begun to accrue but in respect of which
the total liability may not yet have been fixed or (B) contain a notice from a
third party of a claim that will cause actual Losses to accrue after such
applicable survival period, including pending curtailments, lawsuits or
government investigations, in which case the applicable survival period will be
extended in order to cover the finally determined Losses related thereto.
Section 10.3    Coordination with Tax Indemnity.
Except as expressly provided in Article 11 hereof, the provisions of this
Article 10 shall not apply to (a) any representations or warranties under
Section 4.15 hereof, (b) any obligations or covenants contained in Article 11
hereof, and (c) any other provision of this Agreement providing any
representation, warranty or covenant relating to Taxes. Subject to the
foregoing, Article 11 shall provide the exclusive means for indemnity under this
Agreement for any indemnity for Losses relating to Taxes.
Section 10.4    Indemnification Procedure; Third-Party Claims.
(a)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10.1 or 10.2
of notice of the commencement of any Litigation against it, such indemnified
party will, if a claim is to be made against any indemnifying party under such
Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such
Litigation, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the
defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give
such notice. As used herein, the term “indemnifying party”, when referring to
the obligation of Sellers to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to
Section 10.1, shall be deemed to refer to Sellers’ Representative on behalf of
Sellers.
(b)    If an indemnified party gives notice to the indemnifying party pursuant
to Section 10.4(a) of the assertion of a third-party claim, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such third-party claim
or, subject to Section 10.4(c), to the extent that it wishes, to assume the
defense of such third-party claim at its sole cost and expense with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, that the indemnified
party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate, at its own
cost and expense, in the defense of such third-party claim. After notice from
the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such third-party claim, the indemnifying party shall not, so long as
it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under
this Article 10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect
to the defense of such third-party claim, in each case subsequently incurred by
the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such third-party claim,
other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes
the defense of a third-party claim, (A) such assumption will conclusively
establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that
third-party claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification and
(B) no compromise or settlement of such third-party claims may be effected by
the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (I) there
is no finding or admission of any violation of legal requirement or any
violation of the rights of any party, (II) the sole relief provided is monetary
damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party, and (III) the
indemnified party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or
settlement of such third-party claims effected without its consent. If notice is
given to an indemnifying party of the assertion of any third-party claim and the
indemnifying party has the right to undertake the defense but does not, within
fifteen (15) days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to
the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such third-party
claim, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such
third-party claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified
party. With respect to any third-party claim subject to indemnification under
this Article 10: (y) both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as
the case may be, shall keep the other party fully informed of the status of such
third-party claim and any related proceedings at all stages thereof where such
party is not represented by its own counsel; and (z) the parties agree (each at
its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably
require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to
ensure the proper and adequate defense of any third-party claim.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 10.4(b), if (i) the indemnifying
party is also a party against whom the third-party claim is made and the
indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be
inappropriate, (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance
to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such third-party
claim and provide indemnification with respect to such third-party claim, (iii)
an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable
probability that Litigation may materially and adversely affect it or its
Affiliates (other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, and such non-monetary claim is
not merely incidental to any such monetary claim), (iv) the indemnifying party
fails to diligently conduct the defense of such third-party claim, or (v) the
third-party claim is made against any Buyer Indemnified Party by a customer,
supplier, licensor or licensee of any Buyer Indemnified Party and such Buyer
Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that such Litigation or the
compromise or settlement thereof may materially and adversely affect its
continuing business relationship with any such customer, supplier, licensor or
licensee, then, in each such case, the indemnified party may, by notice to the
indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle
such Litigation, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any
determination of Litigation so defended or any compromise or settlement effected
without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or
delayed).
(d)    In calculating Losses there shall be deducted (retroactively, if
necessary) (i) any insurance proceeds actually recovered in respect thereof (and
no right of subrogation shall accrue hereunder to any Insurer), (ii) any amount
specifically accrued or reserved against as a liability on the Closing Date
Balance Sheet with respect to such Losses (or, in the case of any such Loss
consisting of the loss of, or reduced value of, any asset, the extent to which
such asset was written down on the Closing Date Balance Sheet to reflect such
reduction in value), (iii) any Tax benefit which the indemnified party actually
recognizes in the taxable year in which such Loss is incurred as a result of
incurring such Loss, and (iv) any amounts actually recovered from third Persons
pursuant to indemnification or otherwise with respect thereto. Any indemnified
party will use commercially reasonable efforts to recover insurance proceeds
under its insurance policies that provide coverage with respect to a Loss;
provided, that Losses indemnifiable hereunder shall include any cost to the
indemnified party associated with such insurance recovery, including a
reasonable estimate of increased future premiums or other insurance costs of the
indemnified party. In the event any of the foregoing deductible amounts are
received by an indemnified party after the payment thereof by an indemnifying
party, the indemnified party, within thirty (30) days of receiving such amount,
shall pay to the indemnifying party (which, if the indemnifying party is a
Seller, shall be paid to Sellers’ Representative) such amount (as the same may
be offset by the costs set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding
sentence). Buyer and Sellers agree that, for purposes of computing the amount of
any indemnification payment under this Article 10 or Article 11 hereof, any such
indemnification payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Purchase
Price for all Tax purposes.
(e)    An indemnified party shall make commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate any actual or potential Loss to the extent required by applicable Law,
and the failure to do so shall result in a reduction in the indemnifying party’s
indemnification obligation hereunder but only to the extent such efforts would
have mitigated the Loss; provided, that such obligation to mitigate shall not
apply to the extent this Article 10 expressly provides otherwise (for the
avoidance of doubt, and by way of example, the provisions of Section 10.4(d) are
intended to expressly modify such mitigation obligation). The indemnifying party
shall have the right, but not the obligation, and shall be afforded the
opportunity by the indemnified party to the extent reasonably possible, to make
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses before such Losses actually
are incurred or suffered by, or assessed against, the indemnified party.
(f)    To the extent that an indemnified party is otherwise indemnified or
compensated for any claim for which indemnification may be asserted under this
Article 10 pursuant to any other provision in this Agreement (including pursuant
to the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount set forth in Section 2.5 of this
Agreement), then that indemnified party shall not be entitled to any duplicative
recovery for that matter as an indemnification claim pursuant to this Article
10.
(g)    The parties agree that, other than as provided in Section 2.5, Section
9.3, and Article 11, and other than claims for specific performance, injunctive
relief or other equitable remedies, from and after the Closing the remedies
provided in this Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for any
indemnity claim or for a breach of the Company’s, Buyer’s, and Sellers’
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement, absent fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach.
(h)    The parties covenant and agree that in the event any indemnity is
actually paid to a Buyer Indemnified Party by or on behalf of Sellers pursuant
to this Agreement due to a breach of, or inaccuracy in, Section 4.18 based
solely upon the uncollectibility of any account receivable included in the
Closing Date Working Capital, then Buyer shall (or shall cause the Company to)
assign to Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers) such portion of the
account receivable subject to such indemnification (without recourse or
warranty, except as to title). After such assignment, Sellers’ Representative
will be permitted to exercise all remedies it deems necessary or appropriate
against the account debtor to collect such assigned account receivable;
provided, however, that if Sellers’ Representative commences any Litigation
against any account debtor in respect of such account receivable, then Sellers’
Representative (on behalf of Sellers) shall indemnify the Company for any Losses
incurred, sustained, suffered or paid by, or imposed upon the Company and defend
at Sellers’ expense any Litigation (including any counterclaim) commenced
against the Company by such account debtor arising from or in any way relating
to the sale by the Company of any products to such account debtor, or the
performance of any service by the Company for such account debtor, prior to the
Closing Date.
(i)    The right to indemnification or other remedy based on the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to,
or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether
before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing,
with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
(j)    For purposes of determining whether any inaccuracy in, breach of, failure
to perform or comply with, or Loss has occurred, or the amount of any such Loss,
the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties set
forth in this Agreement will be considered without regard to any materiality or
Material Adverse Effect qualification set forth therein; provided, however, that
the foregoing provision shall not apply to (i) the definition of “Material
Contracts,” the listing of Material Contracts and the use of such term, and
(ii) the Reps made in Section 4.5 (Financial Statements; Minute Books) with
respect to the Financial Statements, Section 4.12(a) (Compliance with Law;
Permits and Licenses), Section 4.16(c) (Employee Benefit Plans) and Section 4.19
(Absence of Certain Changes or Events).
Section 10.5    Procedure for Indemnification – Other Claims.
A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may
be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought. The
indemnifying party shall have twenty (20) days after its receipt of such notice
to respond to the claim(s) described therein, which response shall set forth, in
reasonable detail, the indemnifying party’s objection(s) to the claim(s) and its
bases for such objection(s) (a “Claim Response”). If the indemnifying party
fails to timely deliver a Claim Response to the indemnified party, then the
indemnifying party shall be deemed to have accepted the claim(s) and its
indemnification obligation with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party
timely delivers a Claim Response to the indemnified party, then the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party shall negotiate the resolution of such claim(s)
for a period of not fewer than thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim
Response. If the indemnified party and the indemnifying party are unable to
resolve such claim(s) within such time period, then the indemnified party may
pursue the enforcement of the indemnity obligations hereunder as permitted by
applicable Law.
Section 10.6    Payment of Amounts Due for Indemnification.
(c)    For so long as the Escrow Agent holds the Buyer Indemnification Amount
(or a portion thereof), any and all indemnification obligations payable pursuant
to this Agreement will be paid first from the Buyer Indemnification Amount, and
in the event such payable amount exceeds the funds held in the Buyer
Indemnification Amount, Buyer shall be entitled to recover such shortfall amount
directly from Sellers, severally (and not jointly), based on their respective
Seller Pro Rata Percentages, subject in all cases to the other terms and
conditions of this Article 10. The foregoing payments shall be made within five
(5) Business Days after it is determined pursuant to this Article 10 that any
amount is due to a Buyer Indemnified Party.
(d)    Within five (5) Business Days after it is determined pursuant to this
Article 10 that any amount is due to a Seller Indemnified Party, Buyer shall pay
such amount to an account or accounts designated by Sellers’ Representative.
Section 10.7    Mutual Release.
(c)    Effective as of the Closing, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, including the consideration to be received by
Sellers, each Seller (each, a “Seller Releasing Person”) hereby irrevocably
releases and forever discharges Buyer, the Company and their respective parents,
Subsidiaries, Affiliates (other than a Seller Releasing Person to the extent
that such Seller Releasing Person would be deemed such an Affiliate for purposes
of this Agreement), divisions and predecessors and their respective past and
present shareholders, directors, officers, members, managers, partners (general
or limited), agents, employees and Affiliates (other than Seller Releasing
Persons to the extent that they would be deemed Affiliates for purposes of this
Agreement), and the successors, heirs, assigns, executors and administrators to
the foregoing (collectively, the “Buyer Released Persons”), of and from any and
all manner or causes of action and actions, claims, suits, rights, debts, sums
of money, covenants, contracts, damages and judgments whatsoever, in law or in
equity, which such Seller Releasing Person ever had, now has or which it
hereafter can, shall or may have, against the Buyer Released Persons, whether
known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or unmatured, fixed or
contingent, for, upon or by reason of any matter relating to the Company, and
arising at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, whether in such Seller
Releasing Person’s capacity as an equityholder, director, officer, holder of
Indebtedness or otherwise, and the Buyer Released Persons shall not have
liability with respect thereto; provided, however, that such release shall not
cover (i) claims or liabilities for amounts owed pursuant to, or other rights
set forth in, or other claims arising in connection with this Agreement or any
Related Documents or (ii) any obligations (if any) related to accrued but unpaid
compensation owed by the Company immediately prior to the Closing to such Seller
Releasing Person in connection with the performance of services in the ordinary
course by such Seller Releasing Person for the Company; provided, further that,
notwithstanding the preceding proviso, such release shall be deemed an
irrevocable waiver and release by Sellers of the Company from any right of
contribution or right of indemnity from or against the Company with respect to
any indemnification payments by Sellers to the Buyer Indemnified Parties
pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)    Effective as of the Closing, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, including the consideration to be received, each of
Buyer and the Company (each, a “Buyer Releasing Person”) hereby irrevocably
releases and forever discharges each Seller and its successors, heirs, assigns,
executors and administrators (collectively, the “Seller Released Persons”), of
and from any and all manner or causes of action and actions, claims, suits,
rights, debts, sums of money, covenants, contracts, damages and judgments
whatsoever, in law or in equity, which such Buyer Releasing Person ever had, now
has or which it hereafter can, shall or may have, against the Seller Released
Persons, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or
unmatured, fixed or contingent, for, upon or by reason of any matter relating to
the Company, and arising at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, whether in
such Buyer Releasing Person’s capacity as an equityholder or otherwise, and the
Seller Released Persons shall not have liability with respect thereto; provided,
however, that such release shall not cover claims or liabilities for amounts
owed pursuant to, or other rights set forth in, or other claims arising in
connection with this Agreement or any Related Documents.
(e)    Each Seller Releasing Person acknowledges and agrees that the release set
forth in this Section 10.7 applies to all claims or liabilities of any nature
whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, fixed or
contingent, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen, that it may have
against any of the Buyer Released Persons with respect to the matters being
released hereunder. Each Seller Releasing Person expressly acknowledges that he
or she is familiar with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which
provides as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH
THE DEBTOR.
(f)    Each Buyer Releasing Person acknowledges and agrees that the release set
forth in this Section 10.7 applies to all claims or liabilities of any nature
whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, fixed or
contingent, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen, that it may have
against Seller Released Persons with respect to the matters being released
hereunder. Each Buyer Releasing Person expressly acknowledges that it is
familiar with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as
follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH
THE DEBTOR.
(g)    Each Seller Releasing Person and Buyer Releasing Person acknowledges that
the significance and consequence of this waiver of Section 1542 of the
California Civil Code is that even if he or it should eventually suffer
additional damages arising out of claims or liabilities released in this
Agreement, he or it will not be able to make any claim for those damages. Each
Seller Releasing Person and Buyer Releasing Person expressly waives and
relinquishes any and all rights and benefits, which he or it may have under
Section 1542 of the California Civil Code.
ARTICLE 11    
TAXES
Section 11.1    Transfer Taxes.
All sales, use, transfer, documentary, stamp, registration and other similar
Taxes that are payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be borne one-half by Buyer and one-half by Sellers. The party
required by applicable law to file any Tax Returns and other documentation with
respect to any such Taxes shall prepare and file such Tax Returns and Buyer and
Sellers shall each, and shall each cause its Affiliates to, cooperate in the
timely preparation and filing of, and join in the execution of, any such Tax
Returns and other documentation.
Section 11.2    Indemnification for Taxes.
(g)    Except as otherwise provided herein, Sellers (severally and not jointly)
shall be liable for and shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for: (i)
any Losses attributable to (A) any Taxes of any member (other than the Company)
of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company
is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local
or foreign law, (B) any Taxes that are imposed on the Company for any taxable
year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any
Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the
Closing Date, and (C) any Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) liability
for which is imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or
otherwise, pursuant to a transaction or contract or other indemnification
obligation that occurs or arises before the Closing; and (ii) any Losses
(including Taxes) for which the Company, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates
become liable as a result of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
relating to Taxes made by Sellers in Section 4.15 of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall have no obligation pursuant to this
Section 11.2(a) for any Taxes or Losses to the extent taken into account as a
liability in the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital or which were
taken into account in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price as
Indebtedness, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(c). In determining
whether any transaction occurs on the Closing Date, it is expressly understood
and agreed that amounts included as Company Transaction Expenses (including the
Change of Control Payments) shall be treated as deductions in the Tax Returns
for taxable periods ending on the Closing Date, to the extent such amounts are
deductible in such taxable periods under any provision of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder. Buyer and its includible Affiliate or
Affiliates will file a consolidated federal income tax return including the
income of the Company for the period beginning on the day after the Closing
Date. Tax Returns for the period ending on the Closing Date will be prepared by
closing the books at the end of the Closing Date under the general provisions of
Treasury Regulation 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A) and (b)(2)(i), and no election will
be made under Treasury Regulation 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D).
(h)    Sellers shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes of the Company
attributable to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, net of any
reasonable cost to Buyer and its Affiliates attributable to the obtaining and
receipt of such refund, provided, that (i) such Taxes were paid by the Company
prior to the Closing or by Sellers after the Closing, (ii) such refund is
actually recognized by Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including the Company),
whether as a refund or reduction in Taxes payable, after the Closing, (iii) such
refund does not arise as the result of a carryback of a loss or other Tax
benefit from a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing
Date and (iv) such refund was not included in the Closing Date Working Capital
and taken into account in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price. Buyer
shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Sellers any amount to which Sellers are
entitled pursuant to the prior sentence within fifteen (15) Business Days of the
receipt of the applicable refund or credit by Buyer or its Subsidiaries. To the
extent such refund is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the
applicable Tax authority, Sellers agree promptly to repay the amount of such
refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts
imposed by such Tax authority, to Buyer.
(i)    For purposes of Section 11.2(a), whenever it is necessary to determine
the liability for Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period, the determination
of the Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and
the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be
determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two (2) taxable
years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other
which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and items of
income, gain, deduction, loss or credit, and state and local apportionment
factors of the Company for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such
two (2) taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming
that the books of the Company were closed at the close of the Closing Date;
provided, however, that (i) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are
calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, and Taxes
calculated on a periodic basis (such as real property Taxes and other ad valorem
Taxes) shall be apportioned ratably between such periods on a daily basis, and
(ii) any extraordinary item within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(C) that occurs or results from a transaction that takes
place after the Closing on the Closing Date shall be treated as occurring at the
beginning of the day following the Closing Date.
(j)    The provisions of Sections 10.3, 10.4(d), 10.4(f), 10.4(g), 10.4(i),
10.4(j) and 10.6 shall apply for purposes of the indemnification provisions of
this Section 11.2 and the contest provisions of Section 11.5. For the avoidance
of doubt and without limitation, no indemnified party shall have any obligation
to make any efforts to mitigate any actual or potential Losses attributable to
Taxes or provide any indemnifying party any opportunity to minimize any such
Losses.
(k)    Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, Sellers shall not
indemnify or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party, and no Buyer Indemnified
Party shall seek reimbursement or indemnity from Sellers, for any Losses
pursuant to Section 11.2(a) unless written demand for reimbursement of such
Losses is delivered to Sellers’ Representative within one (1) month following
the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, including any
applicable tolling period.
Section 11.3    Payments.
Any payment by Buyer or Seller under this Article 11 or under Article 10, or any
payment by Buyer or Sellers under Section 2.5 of the difference between the
Estimated Purchase Price and the Final Purchase Price (determined under Sections
2.2 and 2.5 hereof), shall be treated by Buyer and Sellers as an adjustment to
the Final Purchase Price for Tax purposes if payment occurs after the Closing
Date.
Section 11.4    Tax Returns.
(d)    Sellers shall file or cause to be filed when due (i) all Tax Returns by
or with respect to the Company that are due before the Closing Date, and (ii)
all income and franchise Tax Returns and other Tax Returns either (A) measured
by or based on net income or (B) measured by or based on equity that, in either
case, are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for taxable
years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and shall pay (or cause
to be paid by the Company prior to the Closing) any Taxes due in respect of the
Tax Returns described in clauses (i) and (ii) for which Sellers are liable
pursuant to Section 11.2(a); provided, that the Tax Returns described in clauses
(i) and (ii) shall be submitted to Buyer not later than thirty (30) days prior
to the due date for filing of such Tax Returns (or if such due date is within
forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable
following the Closing Date), Buyer shall have the right to review such Tax
Returns, and Sellers’ Representative shall consider in good faith any reasonable
comments that Buyer submits to Sellers’ Representative within ten (10) days
after receipt of such Tax Returns. Buyer shall file, or cause to be filed when
due, all other Tax Returns (including all Straddle Period Tax Returns) with
respect to the Company and shall remit any Taxes due in respect of such Tax
Returns. Sellers shall pay by wire transfer to Buyer the Taxes for which Sellers
are liable pursuant to Section 11.2(a) but which are payable with Tax Returns to
be filed by Buyer pursuant to the previous sentence at least three (3) Business
Days prior to the due date for the payment of such Taxes.
(e)    All Straddle Period Tax Returns to be filed by Buyer pursuant to
Section 11.4(a) (i) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice
(unless the positions that would otherwise be taken in accordance with past
practice have no “reasonable basis” within the meaning of Code Section 6662(d)
(or comparable state, local, or foreign law) or otherwise are not reasonable
positions), and (ii) shall be submitted to Sellers’ Representative not later
than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing of such Tax Returns (or
if such due date is within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, as
promptly as practicable following the Closing Date). Sellers’ Representative
shall have the right to review such Straddle Period Tax Returns, and Buyer shall
consider in good faith any reasonable comments that Sellers’ Representative
submits to Buyer within ten (10) days after receipt of such Tax Returns.
(f)    Buyer will not carry back (nor permit the Company to carry back) to any
period ending on or before the Closing Date (treating for this purpose such date
as the end of a short taxable year) any losses, deductions, or credits giving
rise to a refund of Taxes for such period without the prior written consent of
Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed.
(g)    None of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer shall (or shall cause or permit
the Company to) amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any
statute of limitation with respect to) any Tax Return relating in whole or in
part to the Company with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or
before the Closing Date (or with respect to any Straddle Period) without the
prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(h)    With respect to any taxable period for which Sellers are responsible to
prepare and file a Tax Return pursuant to this Section 11.4, Buyer, if so
requested by Sellers’ Representative, shall promptly cause the Company to
prepare and provide to Sellers’ Representative a package of tax information
materials (the “Tax Package”), which shall be completed in accordance with past
practice, including past practice as to providing the information, schedules and
work papers and as to the method of computation of separate taxable income or
other relevant measure of income of the Company. Sellers’ Representative shall
reimburse Buyer for reasonable out of pocket costs incurred in preparing the Tax
Package.
(i)    For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall be permitted to prepare and file,
or cause to be prepared and filed, unfiled state and local Tax Returns required
to be filed by the Company, as determined by Buyer, for any period ending on or
before the Closing Date in any Tax jurisdiction in which the Company does not
currently file such Tax Returns, whether or not pursuant to or otherwise in
connection with any “voluntary disclosure agreement” or similar arrangement with
the applicable taxing authority. For further avoidance of doubt, any Taxes for
any period ending on or before the Closing Date relating to such Tax Returns and
any reasonable expenses incurred with respect thereto shall be deemed for all
purposes of this Agreement to constitute Losses subject to indemnification
pursuant to Section 11.2(a). All such Tax Returns (except in the case of
Straddle Period Tax Returns addressed in Section 11.4(b) above) shall be
submitted to Sellers’ Representative not later than fifteen (15) days prior to
Buyer’s proposed date for filing of such Tax Returns, and Buyer shall consider
in good faith any reasonable comments that Sellers’ Representative submits to
Buyer within ten (10) days after receipt of such Tax Returns.
Section 11.5    Contest Provisions.
(e)    In the event that (a) Sellers or their Affiliates or (b) Buyer or its
Affiliates receive notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments
or other disputes concerning Taxes (each, a “Tax Contest”) with respect to which
the other party may incur liability under Article 11 hereof, the party in
receipt of such notice shall promptly notify the other party of such matter in
writing, provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect a
party’s right to indemnification hereunder unless such failure materially and
adversely affects the indemnifying party’s ability to challenge or participate
in such Tax Contest in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.5.
(f)    Buyer shall control all Tax Contests. Sellers’ Representative shall have
the right to participate in any Tax Contest, at the expense of Sellers. Buyer
shall not settle any Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Sellers’
Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or
delayed) if such contest is solely with respect to a taxable period ending on or
before the Closing Date and could not adversely affect in any material respect
the liability for Taxes of Buyer or the Company for any period (or portion
thereof) after the Closing Date to any extent (including the imposition of Tax
deficiencies, the reduction of asset basis or cost adjustments, the lengthening
of any amortization or depreciation periods, the denial of amortization or
depreciation deductions or the reduction of loss or credit carryforwards).
Section 11.6    Tax Sharing Agreements.
Any Tax allocation or sharing agreement or arrangement, whether or not written,
that may have been entered into by Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates
and the Company shall be terminated as to the Company as of the Closing Date,
and no payments which are owed by or to the Company pursuant thereto shall be
made thereunder.
Section 11.7    Assistance and Cooperation.
After the Closing Date, each Seller and Buyer shall (and shall cause their
respective Affiliates to):
(d)    assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns or reports which such
other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with this
Article 11;
(e)    cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing
authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Company;
(f)    make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably
requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the
Company; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to make
available to Sellers such information, records, and documents that relate to
taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date;
(g)    provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or
threatened Tax audits or assessments of the Company for taxable periods for
which the other may have a liability under this Article 11;
(h)    furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any
taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with
respect to any such taxable period; and
(i)    cooperate with and assist the other in obtaining any refund that Buyer or
Sellers reasonably believe should be available, including through the filing of
appropriate forms with the applicable taxing authorities.
Section 11.8    Retention of Records.
Buyer will cause the Company to retain any records relevant to the determination
of Tax liabilities of the Company for taxable periods ending on or prior to the
Closing Date and for Straddle Periods for a period of not less than seven (7)
years following the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer may dispose of
such records prior to that time with the prior written consent of Sellers’
Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 11.9    Sellers Not Foreign Persons.
At the Closing, each Seller (other than 91325 Canada, Inc.) shall deliver to
Buyer an affidavit of such Seller, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer
and in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2), signed under
penalties of perjury setting forth such Seller’s U.S. taxpayer identification
number and address and stating that such Seller is not a foreign person.
Section 11.10    Other.
(a)    In the event either Sellers or Buyer breaches any obligation imposed on
it under this Article 11, such breaching party shall indemnify the other party
for all Losses incurred or suffered by, or assessed against, that other party as
a result of that breach.
(b)    It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this Article 11
shall exclusively govern all matters relating to Taxes with respect to the
Company as between Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company following the
Closing) and Sellers and their Affiliates, and that the provisions of this
Article 11 shall exclusively govern the determination and administration of all
claims between them relating to such Tax matters.
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, (i) the
obligations of the parties set forth in this Article 11 shall be unconditional
and absolute, and (ii) any amounts held in the Escrow Account shall be first
used to meet any obligations of Sellers (indemnity or otherwise) under this
Article 11. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall not be any duplicative
payments of indemnities by Sellers or Buyer under this Article 11 or otherwise
under this Agreement.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the
obligation of Sellers under this Article 11 shall not be subject to a
deductible, threshold or similar concept, (ii) each Seller’s indemnification
obligations under this Article 11 shall be for an amount equal to the amount of
Losses hereunder multiplied by such Seller’s Seller Pro Rata Percentage set
forth on Schedule I, and (iii) (A) except for fraud, intentional
misrepresentation or willful breach, the aggregate liability of any Seller for
Losses shall be equal to the aggregate amount of all payments actually received
by such Seller pursuant to Article 2 hereof and (B) no Seller shall be liable
for the willful or intentional breach of another Seller, or for any act of fraud
committed by another Seller.
ARTICLE 12

This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby
abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:
(l)    by mutual written consent of the Company, Buyer and Sellers’
Representative;
(m)    by Buyer in writing, if Sellers or the Company have, or by Sellers’
Representative in writing, if Buyer has, breached (i) any covenant or agreement
contained herein in any material respect, or (ii) any representation or warranty
contained herein and such breach would constitute a failure to satisfy the
condition contained in Section 7.1 or Section 8.1, as applicable, and in either
case if such breach is not curable or, if curable, has not been cured by the
earlier of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such
breach is given to the party committing such breach or the Closing Date;
provided, however, that a party shall not have the right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.1(b) if such party is then in material
breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained in this Agreement;
(n)    by any of Buyer, the Company or Sellers’ Representative in writing, if
(i) any governmental or regulatory agency which must grant a Permit, consent,
approval or waiver contemplated by Section 8.2 has denied such Permit, consent,

any governmental or regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction shall have
issued a final nonappealable order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the

on November 30, 2014 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that the right to terminate
this Agreement under this Section 12.1(d) (i) shall not be available to Buyer if

to occur on or before the Outside Date, and (ii) shall not be available to the
Company or Sellers’ Representative if the failure of the Company or any Seller
to fulfill (or breach by the Company or any Seller of) any obligation under this

intentional misrepresentation of such party prior to such termination.

Section 12.5    Press Releases or Public Announcements.
Neither party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement or
other disclosure relating to the existence or subject matter of this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that
any party may make any public announcement or disclosure concerning its
publicly-traded securities it believes in good faith is required by applicable
Law, any listing or trading agreement, or the rules and regulations of any
applicable securities exchange (in which case the disclosing party will use its
reasonable best efforts to advise the other party prior to making the disclosure
and consult with the other party regarding such disclosure), including the
filing by Buyer of a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Buyer 8-K”) to report
execution of this Agreement. In connection with the preparation of the Buyer
8-K, Sellers shall, upon request by Buyer, furnish Buyer with all information as
may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. At or after the execution of this Agreement,
Sellers and Buyer shall jointly issue a public announcement and/or press release
and/or other disclosure, as shall be mutually agreed, of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Each party will not unreasonably withhold
approval from the others with respect to any press release or public
announcement. If any party determines with the advice of counsel that it is
required to make this Agreement and the terms of the transaction public or
otherwise issue a press release or make public disclosure with respect thereto,
it shall, at a reasonable time before making any public disclosure, consult with
the other party regarding such disclosure, seek such confidential treatment for
such terms or portions of this Agreement or the transaction as may be reasonably
requested by the other party and disclose only such information as is legally
compelled to be disclosed. This provision will not apply to communications by
any party to its counsel, accountants and other professional advisors.
Section 12.6    Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with all exhibits and schedules hereto (including the
Disclosure Schedules), constitute the entire agreement among the parties
pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the
parties.
Section 12.7    Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered by facsimile or other
electronic transmission.
Section 12.8    Headings.
The headings of the Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules herein
are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part
of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 12.9    Disclosure Schedules.
Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any
Disclosure Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or
lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material
or that such item has had or is reasonably likely to result in a material
adverse effect with respect to the disclosing party, and no party shall use the
fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item
in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation,
item or matter not described herein or in any Disclosure Schedule is or is not
material or that such item has had or is reasonably likely to result in a
material adverse effect with respect to the disclosing party for purposes of
this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither
the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any
Disclosure Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item or matter, or
other items or matters, are or are not in the Ordinary Course of Business.
Section 12.10    Sellers’ Representative.
(a)    Each Seller by executing this Agreement hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints Jeff Buck, as Sellers’ Representative, with full power and
authority to act in the name of and for and on behalf of such Seller with
respect to all matters arising in connection with, or related to, this Agreement
and the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
Each Seller hereby appoints Sellers’ Representative as (i) the agent and true
and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Seller, with full power of substitution, and
with full capacity and authority in its sole discretion, to act in the name of
and for and on behalf of such Seller in connection with all matters arising out
of, resulting from, contemplated by or related or incident to this Agreement and
the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) the agent for service of process for such Seller,
and such Seller hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all
process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
by the delivery of such process to Sellers’ Representative. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the power of Sellers’ Representative shall include
the power to represent such Seller with respect to all aspects of this Agreement
and the Escrow Agreement, which power shall include the power to (A) receive any
payment or transfer of funds to be made pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of
such Seller, (B) waive any and all conditions of this Agreement, (C) amend,
modify or supplement this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in any respect,
(D) defend, negotiate or settle, and take any and all other actions with respect
to the matters set forth in Section 2.5, Section 2.6, Article 10 and Article 11,
(E) retain legal counsel or accountants and be reimbursed by Sellers for all
fees, expenses and other charges of such legal counsel or accountants,
(F) receive notices or other communications, (G) deliver any notices,
certificates or other documents required hereunder, (H) take all such other
action and to do all such other things as Sellers’ Representative deems
necessary, appropriate, desirable or advisable with respect to this Agreement
and the Escrow Agreement, and (I) perform its obligations as set forth in, and
in accordance with, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(b)    Each Seller agrees that Buyer, the Escrow Agent, and their respective
Affiliates shall have the absolute right and authority to rely upon the acts
taken or omitted to be taken by Sellers’ Representative on behalf of Sellers or
any other Holders and shall have no liability with respect thereto, and none of
Buyer, the Escrow Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any
duty to inquire as to the acts and omissions of Sellers’ Representative, and by
approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Sellers waive any
claim arising out of, or right to object to, any action taken by Buyer, the
Escrow Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates in reliance upon the acts
taken or omitted to be taken by Sellers’ Representative.
(c)    Each Seller agrees that (i) all deliveries by Buyer, including any
payment of funds under Article 2 (including the Expense Amount), to Sellers’
Representative shall be deemed deliveries to Sellers, (ii) Buyer shall not have
any liability with respect to any aspect of the distribution or communication of
such deliveries between Sellers’ Representative and any Seller and (iii) any
disclosure made to Sellers’ Representative by or on behalf of Buyer shall be
deemed to be a disclosure made to each Seller. Each Seller that makes a claim
against Buyer alleging the lack of authority of Sellers’ Representative shall
indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses incurred or suffered by, or
assessed against, such Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of its good faith
reliance on the acts or omissions of Sellers’ Representative. Each Seller agrees
that any payment made by or on behalf of Buyer to Sellers’ Representative on a
Seller’s behalf shall be deemed a direct payment to a Seller, and no Seller
shall have any recourse against Buyer or any of its Affiliates in the event that
such payment is not delivered to such Seller by Sellers’ Representative for any
reason.
(d)    Each Seller agrees that the amounts deposited in the Expense Fund shall
be available for the payment of all fees and expenses reasonably incurred by
Sellers’ Representative in performing its duties and exercising its rights under
this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, provided, that any portion of the
Expense Fund not ultimately required for the payment of such fees and expenses
(if any) shall be returned by Sellers’ Representative to Sellers based on their
respective Seller Pro Rata Percentage, and further provided, that if the Expense
Fund is depleted or insufficient, Sellers’ Representative may deduct such fees
and expenses from the amounts distributed to Sellers’ Representative on behalf
of Sellers from the Buyer Indemnification Amount prior to delivery of such funds
to Sellers.
(e)    In the event Sellers’ Representative refuses to, or is no longer capable
of, serving as Sellers’ Representative hereunder, Sellers shall promptly appoint
a successor Sellers’ Representative who shall thereafter be a successor Sellers’
Representative hereunder, and Sellers’ Representative shall serve until such
successor is duly appointed and qualified to act hereunder. Upon the appointment
of such successor, such successor shall promptly provide written notice of such
appointment to Buyer and Escrow Agent.
(f)    Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.10, Sellers’
Representative shall not be held liable by any of Sellers for actions or
omissions in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the power and
authority of Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, except in the
case of Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of
counsel, public accountants or other independent experts that it reasonably
determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to
any Seller for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on
such advice. Sellers will jointly and severally indemnify (in accordance with
their respective Seller Pro Rata Percentages) Sellers’ Representative from any
Losses arising out of its serving as Sellers’ Representative hereunder, except
for Losses arising out of or caused by Sellers’ Representative’s gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Sellers’ Representative is serving
in its capacity as such solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and
is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of Sellers
hereunder, and Buyer agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of
Sellers’ Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any
obligations to be performed by Sellers hereunder.
Section 12.11    Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Delaware.
Section 12.12    Amendments, Modifications and Waivers.
No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be
valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer and Sellers’
Representative. No waiver by either party of any default, misrepresentation, or
breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be
deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or
breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising
by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.
Section 12.13    Severability.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof,
or any other instrument referred to herein becomes or is declared by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Agreement or any other instrument referred to herein will continue in full
force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the
parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable
provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will
achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of
such void or unenforceable provision.
Section 12.14    Expenses.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties will bear
its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and all documents related hereto and any expenses
related to the due diligence investigation.

declare rights hereunder (referred to herein as an “Action”), the non-prevailing
party in such Action shall pay to the prevailing party in such Action a
reasonable sum for the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees and expenses (at the
prevailing party’s attorneys’ then-current rates, as increased from time to time
by the giving of advance written notice by such counsel to such party) incurred
in prosecuting or defending such Action and/or enforcing any judgment, order,
ruling or award (referred to herein as a “Decision”), granted therein, all of
which shall be deemed to have accrued from the commencement of such Action, and
shall be paid whether or not such Action is prosecuted to a Decision. Any
Decision entered into in such Action shall contain a specific provision
providing for the recovery of attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in enforcing
such Decision. The court or arbitrator may fix the amount of reasonable

Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in any such court. Each party also agrees not to bring
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any
other court. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety,
or other security that might be required of the other party with respect
thereto. Any party may make service on another party by sending or delivering a
copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner
provided for the giving of notices set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this
Section 12.19, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal
process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity. Each party agrees
that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive
and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law or at equity.
