accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing, or
subleasing to Buyer, or under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of
Buyer, with Buyer assuming Seller’s obligations, any and all rights of Seller
against a third party thereto.  In the event such benefits and obligations have
not been provided by alternative arrangements satisfactory to Buyer and Seller,
Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith an adjustment in the
consideration paid by Buyer for the Acquired Assets.  Seller will promptly pay
to Buyer when received all monies received by Seller under any Acquired Asset or

after the Closing Date.

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

 

Section 2.08.                                Initial Determination of Upfront
Stock Payment; Post-Closing Adjustments to Upfront Stock Payment; Earn-Out Stock
Payment.

(a) Initial Determination of Upfront Stock Payment.  The Upfront Stock Payment
will made as of the Closing based on (i) an estimate of Seller’s TTM Revenue
mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller, calculated as an annualization of the
revenue of the Business for the period from May 1, 2010 through February 28,
2011 (“Estimated Seller’s TTM Revenue”) and (ii) a  calculation of the Parent
Share Closing Price mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.   The calculation
of the Upfront Stock Payment will be rounded to the nearest whole number of
Parent Shares.

(b)           Post-Closing Adjustments to Upfront Stock Payment.  Within 10
business days following completion of Buyer’s audit of the financial statements
of the Business for 2009 and 2010, Buyer will cause the Closing Balance Sheet
and Closing Income Statement to be prepared and will deliver to Seller its
calculations of (A) Seller’s TTM Revenue and (B) Seller’s Realizable Net Closing
Working Capital (the “Upfront Stock Payment Adjustment Calculations”).  Subject
to Section 2.08(e), within 10 business days following Buyer’s delivery of the
Upfront Stock Payment Calculations (and based on such calculations):

(i) Seller’s TTM Revenue Adjustment.  If the amount of Seller’s TTM Revenue
exceeds Estimated Seller’s TTM Revenue, then Parent will issue to Seller, as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price, a number of Parent Shares equal to (A) the
amount of such excess, divided by (B) the Parent Share Closing Price.  If the
amount of Seller’s TTM Revenue is less than Estimated Seller’s TTM Revenue, then
Seller will surrender to Parent, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, a
number of Parent Shares equal to 50% of (A) the amount of such shortfall,
divided by (B) the Parent Share Closing Price, and a number of Escrowed Shares
equal to that surrendered by Seller to Parent will be released to Parent
pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.  In either case, the calculation will be
rounded to the nearest whole number of Parent Shares.
 
(ii) Realizable Net Working Capital Adjustment. If the amount of Realizable Net
Working Capital is positive, then Parent will issue to Seller, as an adjustment
to the Purchase Price, a number of Parent Shares equal to (A) the amount of
Realizable Net Working Capital, divided by (B) the Parent Share Closing
Price.  If the amount of Realizable Net Working Capital is negative, then Seller
will surrender to Parent, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, a number of
Parent Shares equal to 50% percent of (A) the amount of the deficit in
Realizable Net Working Capital, divided by (B) the Parent Share Closing Price,
and a number of Escrowed Shares equal to that surrendered by Seller to Parent
will be released to Parent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.  In either case,
the calculation will be rounded to the nearest whole number of Parent Shares.
 
(c)           Earn-Out Stock Payment.  Within 60 days following the end of the
Earn-out Period, Buyer will deliver to the Seller a calculation of the Earn-Out
Amount and, subject to Section 2.08(e), Parent will issue to Seller, as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price, a number of additional Parent Shares equal to
(i) the Earn-out Amount, divided by (ii) the Parent Share Earn-Out Price (the
“Earn-Out Stock Payment”).  The calculation will be rounded to the nearest whole
number of Parent Shares.

(d)           Payment for Uncollected Accounts Receivable.  Buyer hereby
covenants and agrees that following the settlement of any Realizable Net Working
Capital adjustment it will pay to Seller any amounts collected related to
accounts receivable reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet that are not actually
collected by Buyer within 90 days following the Closing Date and included in the
calculation of Realizable Net Working Capital.  Any such payment may be made, at
Buyer’s discretion, in cash or by issuing Seller additional Parent Shares equal
to (i) the payment to be made, divided by (ii) the Parent Share Closing
Price.  The calculation will be rounded to the nearest whole number of Parent
Shares.

 
-10-

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

 

(e)           Dispute of Calculations.   For a period of 10 business days
following receipt of each of the Upfront Stock Payment Adjustment Calculations
and the calculation of the Earn-Out Amount from Buyer pursuant to Section
2.08(b) and (c), respectively (the “Review Period”), Seller shall have the right
to review the calculations set forth therein and to deliver to Buyer a notice
disputing such calculations together with reasonable supporting documentation (a
“Dispute Notice”).  If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer with
respect to the Upfront Stock Payment Adjustment Calculations or the calculation
of the Earn-Out Amount during the applicable Review Period, the Upfront Stock
Payment Adjustment Calculations or the calculation of the Earn-Out Amount
delivered by Buyer shall be final, conclusive and binding on Buyer and Seller
and the parties shall proceed as set forth in Section 2.08(b) or (c),
respectively.  If Seller does deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer during the
applicable Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall attempt to resolve the matters
raised in the Dispute Notice in good faith and, if successful, shall proceed as
promptly as possible thereafter as set forth in Section 2.08(b) or (c) using the
agreed upon calculation in lieu of that delivered by Buyer.  If any such matters
remain unresolved by the date that is 10 business days after the date on which
the Dispute Notice was delivered to Buyer, Buyer and Seller shall submit the
disputed item(s) to a mutually agreeable, nationally recognized accounting firm
who shall be independent of the parties and their respective affiliates (the
“Neutral Firm”).  The Neutral Firm shall promptly review the disputed item(s)
and select from the two calculations of such item(s) submitted by Buyer and
Seller the calculation thereof that it deems to be the closest to the correct
calculation of such disputed item(s), in the aggregate, which selected
calculation shall be final, conclusive and binding on Buyer and Seller (the
“Final Calculation”), and the parties shall proceed as promptly as possible
thereafter as set forth in Section 2.08(b) or (c) using the Final Calculation in
lieu of that delivered by Buyer.  The party whose calculation is not selected by
the Neutral Firm as the Final Calculation shall bear all costs of the Neutral

Controlling Owner pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the failure of either
Seller to perform any Excluded Liability or any obligation or liability of the
Business relating to the Excluded Assets.

 
-28-

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

 

(b) Each of Buyer and Parent, jointly and severally, hereby indemnifies Seller
against and agrees to hold it harmless from any and all Damages incurred or
suffered by Seller arising out of (i) any misrepresentation or breach of
warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Parent or Buyer
pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the failure of Buyer to perform any Assumed
Liability.
 
(c)   The liability of Seller and the Controlling Owner, on the one hand, and
Buyer, on the other hand, for all claims of indemnification for Damages made
pursuant to Sections 7.02(a)(i) and 7.02(b), respectively, shall not exceed 50%
of the sum of (i) [$480,000] and (ii) the number of shares constituting the
Upfront Stock Payment, multiplied by the Parent Share Closing Price (the “Cap”),
provided, that (A) in the event Buyer defaults on the Buyer Unsecured Note or
the Buyer Secured Note, the Cap with respect to any indemnity claim by Parent or
Buyer against Seller or the Controlling Owner shall be reduced by $155,000, and
(B) the Cap shall not apply to the liability of Seller or the Controlling Owner
for a violation of the covenants of Section 5.01(d).
 
Section 7.03 Procedures.  The party seeking indemnification under Section 7.02
(the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice to the party against whom
indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any
third-party claim, or the commencement of any third-party suit, action or
proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section.  The
Indemnifying Party may at the request of the Indemnified Party participate in
and control the defense of any such suit, action, or proceeding at its own
expense.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 7.02 for any
settlement effected without its consent (which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld) of any claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity
may be sought hereunder.
 
Section 7.04 Computation of Damages.  For purposes of this Article VII, all
Damages shall be computed net of any insurance coverage or other third party
payments with respect thereto, in each case that reduce such Damages that would
otherwise be sustained; provided, however, that in all cases, the timing of the
receipt or realization of insurance proceeds or third party payments shall be
taken into account in determining the amount of reduction of such
Damages.  Parent and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue,
and to cause their affiliates to pursue, all insurance claims and other third
party payments to which they may be entitled in connection with any Damages
incurred.  If Parent or Buyer (or an affiliate) becomes entitled to receive any
insurance or other third party payment in connection with any claim for Damages
for which it has already received a payment from Seller or the Controlling
Owner, as the case may be, it shall pay to Seller or the Controlling Owner, as
applicable, within 30 days after such payment becomes receivable, an amount
equal to the excess of (a) the amount previously received by Parent or Buyer
from such Person with respect to such claim plus the amount of such insurance or
other third party payment, over (b) the amount of Damages to which Parent or
Buyer has become entitled under this Agreement in connection with such claim.
 
Section 7.05 Exclusive Remedy.  With the exception of claims related to fraud,
and other than equitable or injunctive relief or claims as expressly provided
for in this Agreement, the indemnification provided in this Article VII is the
exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to (a) any breach or inaccuracy of
the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, or in the
disclosure schedules, exhibits, certificates, documents or agreements attached
to this Agreement or delivered pursuant hereto, or (b) the breach or failure to
perform of any covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement,
or in the disclosure schedules, exhibits, certificates, documents or agreements
attached to this Agreement or delivered pursuant hereto.  In furtherance of the
foregoing, Seller, the Controlling Owner, Parent and Buyer waive, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any and all other rights, claims, and causes
of action (including rights of contributions, if any) that may be based upon,
arise out of, or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or
performance of this Agreement (including any tort or breach of contract claim or
cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to any representation or
warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to
enter into this Agreement), known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which
exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against the other arising
under or based upon any applicable law, common law or otherwise.

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

 

Section 7.06 Tax Treatment of Payment.  Unless otherwise required by law or
unless Seller and Buyer otherwise mutually agree in writing, any payment made
under this Article VII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(b) by either Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have been consummated on

other than the provisions of Sections 5.01(b) and 5.02(b).  Nothing contained in
