customers, operational policies, and pricing and cost policies, that are
valuable, special and unique assets of the Companies’ and the Buyer’s respective
businesses. During the three-year period beginning on the Closing Date, no
Stockholder will disclose confidential information with respect to the Buyer at
any time, nor with respect to the Companies’ business after the Closing Date, to
any Person for any purpose or reason whatsoever (except to authorized
representatives of such Stockholder and to counsel and other advisers, provided
that such advisors (other than counsel) agree to the confidentiality provisions
of this Section 6.14, unless (i) such information becomes known to the public
generally through no fault of any Stockholder, (ii) such information becomes
available to such Stockholder on a non-confidential basis from a source other
than the Stockholder, provided that such source is not known by such Stockholder
to be subject to any other confidentiality obligation, or (iii) any Stockholder
reasonably believes that such disclosure is required or advisable under
applicable Law or in connection with the defense of a lawsuit against any
Stockholder or for certification or state licensure purposes; provided that
prior to disclosing any information pursuant to clause (iii) above, such
Stockholder shall, if possible, give prior written notice thereof to Buyer and
provide Buyer with the opportunity to contest such disclosure. Notwithstanding
the above, this Section 6.14 shall not apply to any residual knowledge of a
Stockholder with respect to the Companies, meaning ideas, concepts and other
knowledge of general application in non-tangible form which may be retained in
the memory of such Stockholder (or by representatives of such Stockholder if
such Stockholder is an entity).

entire Straddle Period,

45

     (c) any Liability of the Companies for Tax allocable to (i) any taxable
period ending on or before the Closing Date and (ii) the portion of any Straddle
Period through the end of the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent that
such Tax has not been specifically and fully reserved as a liability on the
Closing Balance Sheet (for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.1(c) shall
include any Tax paid pursuant to a voluntary disclosure agreement or any other
similar programs).
For purposes of indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.1, all materiality
qualifiers will be excluded from and given no effect in each representation and
warranty set forth in Article III (other than Section 3.12(b) and
Section 3.21(a)) and each covenant and agreement set forth in Article VI.

51

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

 

     (a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by a Buyer in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any allegation by a third party
that, if true, would constitute such a breach; or
     (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by a Buyer in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any allegation by a third party

representation and warranty set forth in Article V and each covenant and
agreement set forth in Article VI.
     For Tax purposes, any amounts required to be paid by one party to the other

     9.4. Limitations on Indemnification; Survival. The indemnification
obligations of the parties under this Article IX are subject to the limitations
set forth in Exhibit F.
     9.5. Notice. Any party entitled to receive indemnification under this
Article IX (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the
party or parties required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying
Parties”) upon the occurrence of any identifiable Loss or the assertion of any
claim or the commencement of any third party action or proceeding in respect of
which such a Loss may reasonably be expected to occur (any such notice, a
“Claim”), but the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice will not
affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this Article IX except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties are prejudiced thereby. Such written
notice will be given in good faith and will specify in reasonable detail each
event forming the basis of such Loss or Claim and the amount involved, each
individual item of Loss or Claim included in the amount so stated, the basis for
any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default,
breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is
related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which
such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder, unless such amount is
uncertain or contingent, in which event the Indemnified Party will give a later
written notice when the amount becomes fixed.
     9.6. Defense of Claims. Subject to the rights and obligations of the
Parties under Article VII of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Parties may elect
to assume and control the defense of any third party Claim, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the
payment of expenses related to such Claim, if (a) the Indemnifying Parties
acknowledge their obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Losses
resulting from such Claim; and (b) such Claim does not seek to impose any
liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party other than for money damages.
If such conditions are satisfied and the Indemnifying Parties elect to assume
and control the defense of such Claim, then (i) the Indemnifying Parties will
not be liable for any settlement of such Claim effected without their consent,
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; (ii) the Indemnifying Parties
may settle such Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party; and
(iii) the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel and participate in the
defense of such Claim, but the Indemnified

52

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

 

Party will be responsible for the fees and expenses of such counsel unless
(A) the Indemnifying Parties have failed to adequately assume the defense of
such Claim or to employ counsel with respect thereto or (B) in the reasonable
opinion of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest exists between the
interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties that requires
representation by separate counsel, in which case the fees and expenses of such
separate counsel will be paid by the Indemnifying Parties, provided that in no
event will the Indemnifying Parties be required to pay the fees and expenses of
more than one counsel for the Indemnified Party with respect to any Claim. If
such conditions are not satisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party shall assume and
control the defense of such Claim, provided, however, that if the Indemnifying
Parties have previously acknowledged their obligation to indemnify the
Indemnified Party for any Losses resulting from such Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall not be entitled to indemnification for any settlement of any such
Claim effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Parties,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) the Indemnifying
Parties may participate in such defense at its own expense. If such conditions
are not satisfied, such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall keep the
Indemnifying Parties advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof
and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Indemnifying
Parties with respect thereto.
     9.7. Holdback Amount; Right of Setoff. All finally determined due and owing
Claims Buyer has under this Article IX will first be deducted from the Holdback
Amount and distributed to Buyer in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. To the
extent the amount owed any Buyer for a Claim is more than the balance remaining
in the Escrow or becomes due after distribution of the Escrow, then subject to
the limitations set forth in Exhibit F, the Stockholders will pay the balance of
such Claim to Buyer in immediately available funds within the ten days after
final determination of the amount due.
ARTICLE X
Miscellaneous
     10.1. Termination. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement may be terminated and abandoned (a) at any time prior to the Closing
by mutual written consent of Buyer and the Companies; (b) except as provided
below, by either Buyer, on the one hand, or the Companies, on the other hand, if
a condition to Closing under this Agreement has not been satisfied or waived
prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the date hereof; or (c) except
as provided below, by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Companies, on the other
hand, at any time, if there is pending or threatened litigation in any court or
any proceeding by any Governmental Body to restrain or prohibit or obtain
damages or other relief with respect to this Agreement or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as a result of which Buyer
could be required to dispose of any assets or operations of Buyer (including the
operations of the Companies) or their Affiliates or to comply with any
restriction on the manner in which Buyer or their Affiliates conduct their
operations (including any operations of the Companies); provided, that,
(i) Buyer may not terminate this Agreement if the Closing has not occurred
because of Buyer’s failure to perform or observe any of its covenants or
agreements or willful breach of any of its representations and warranties set
forth in this Agreement, and such breach constitutes a failure of one or more
conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a); and (ii) the Companies may not terminate
this Agreement if the Closing has not occurred because of any Seller’s failure
to perform or observe any of its covenants or agreements

53

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

 

(other than the covenants in Section 6.1) or any Seller’s willful breach of any
of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or covenants
set forth in Section 6.1, and such breach constitutes a failure of one or more
conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a). In the event of termination of this
Agreement by any party hereto as provided in this Section 10.1, this Agreement
shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the
part of any party hereto except (x) under the Confidentiality Agreement,
(y) with respect to this Section 10.1 (Termination), Section 6.7 (Publicity), or
Section 6.8 (Transaction Costs), and (z) to the extent that such termination
results from the willful breach by a party hereto of any of its representations
and warranties or of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement.

     (b) The appointment of the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person may
conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any actions of the
Stockholder Representative as the acts of the Stockholders hereunder in all
matters referred to in this Agreement. Each of the Stockholders hereby ratifies
and confirms all that the Stockholder Representative shall do or cause to be
done by virtue of such Stockholder Representative’s appointment as Stockholder
Representative of the Stockholders. The Stockholder Representative shall act for
the Stockholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner
the Stockholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the
Stockholders but the Stockholder Representative shall not be responsible to the
Companies nor any of the Stockholders for any loss or damage that the Companies
or any of the Stockholders may suffer by reason of the performance by the
Stockholder Representative of such Stockholder Representative’s duties under
this Agreement and any other agreement appointing such Stockholder
Representative, other than loss or damage arising from willful misconduct or
fraud in the performance of such Stockholder Representative’s duties under this
Agreement.
     (c) By his, her or its approval of this Agreement, each of the Stockholders
hereunder hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that any Person shall be
entitled to rely on any and all action taken by the Stockholder Representative

the Stockholders. If the Stockholder Representative resigns or ceases to
function in such capacity for any reason whatsoever, which, it is acknowledged,
the Stockholder Representative may do at any time or for any reason, then the
successor Stockholder Representative shall be selected by a majority-in-interest
of the Stockholders (based on their Pro Rata Portions). The Stockholders do
hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the Stockholder
Representative harmless from and against any and all Loss (including without
limitation attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred or suffered as a result of the

or made on behalf of the Stockholder Representative by a proper person, and
Buyer shall not be liable to any Person in connection with the taking of any
action or any failure to take any action in accordance with the foregoing.
     (e) The Stockholder Representative shall be reimbursed for reasonable
expenses incurred in the performance of its duties (including the reasonable
fees of counsel), and up to $50,000 of such expenses and fees shall be paid out
of the Escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided that such
$50,000 limit shall in no way limit the Stockholder Representative’s right to
indemnification under this Section 10.16; and provided, further, that the
Stockholder Representative shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred
in the performance of its duties (including

59

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

 

the reasonable fees of counsel) in excess of such $50,000 limit (to the extent
not otherwise reimbursed), and shall be entitled to receive such amount, at its
option, either (i) out of any portion of the Escrow that would otherwise be
released and paid to the Stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement and only at the time of such release, or (ii) by contribution,
pro-rata, from each of the Stockholders as and at the time such expense is
incurred. Provision being made for any such expenses shall be a condition to any
requirement for the Stockholder Representative to take any action on behalf of
the Stockholders.

Agreement (or executing a Joinder Agreement hereto) solely for the purpose of
