recalculated, the “Final Cash Portion of the Purchase Price”). If the Estimated Cash Portion of the Purchase Price is greater than the Final Cash Portion of the Purchase Price, such difference shall be paid out of the Escrow Sum to
the Buyer (which Escrow Sum shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Buyer under this Section 2.8). If the Estimated Cash Portion of the Purchase Price is less than the Final Cash Portion of the Purchase Price, such difference shall be

 Section 2.8. The provisions of Sections 2.6 and 2.7 and this Section 2.8 shall not be subject
to, and the claims hereunder shall not be included in any of the claims that are subject to, the limitations of Article VIII (except for the right to make a claim under Section 8.1 for a failure to pay any amounts due under Sections
2.6, 2.7 or 2.8 and except that claims under Section 2.8 shall be deducted from the $4,000,000 aggregate Primary Cap liability of Sellers under Section 8.5 hereof). 
  
 2.9 EBITDA Adjustment to the Purchase Price. Any Decrease in
Pre-Closing Value (as hereinafter defined) in excess of [****] shall reduce the Purchase Price payable hereunder at Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Decrease in Pre-Closing Value” shall mean any decrease in the value of
the Companies as of the Closing Date, if any, as determined in good faith by Buyer and Parent prior to Closing, which for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to equal (a) [****] (b) the amount (if any) by which the January 31 Shortfall (if
any) exceeds the Subsequent Increase in Value (if any). The term “January 31 Shortfall” shall mean the amount (if any) by which the Agreed EBITDA exceeds the Actual 1/31/04 EBITDA. The term “Subsequent Increase in
Value” shall mean the amount (if any) by which the EBITDA as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date for which financial statements are available exceeds the Actual EBITDA. In no event shall the Decrease in
Pre-Closing Value exceed [****]. No adjustment pursuant to Section 2.9 shall be made for items which are already an adjustment to the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, if any. For purposes of illustration of this Section 2.9 only,
assuming the Closing occurs on April 15, 2004 and the Agreed EBITDA is $17,600,000, the decrease in the value of the Companies prior to Closing would be determined as follows:

 ARTICLE III 
  
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 OF THE COMPANY AND THE SELLERS 
  
 The Parent and the Company jointly and severally represent and warrant to Buyer and Global, jointly and severally with respect to matters relating to the Company (but not with respect to a member of Parent individually), and each Seller
represents and warrants severally but not jointly with respect to matters relating to such Seller individually in Sections 3.1 and 3.9(a), (d) and (e), that subject to the specific qualifications and limitations set forth
herein, including, without limitation, the qualifications and limitations set forth in the disclosure schedules delivered by the Parent to Buyer and Global on the date hereof (the “Disclosure Schedules”), the statements contained in
this Article III are correct and complete as of the date hereof and will be correct and complete as of the Closing Date (as though made then and as though the Closing Date were substituted for the date of this Agreement throughout this
Article III), except to the extent that such representations and warranties are expressly made as of another specified date, and as to such representation, the same shall be true as of such date and except with respect to factors,
circumstances or events, including execution of contracts or other agreements, first arising or, in the case of representations given to the Company’s Knowledge, such Knowledge being obtained in good faith after the date hereof; provided that
such factors, circumstances or events do not constitute a breach of any of the Sellers’ or Company’s covenants pursuant to Article V of this Agreement except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Disclosure Schedules may
be updated one or more times prior to the Closing Date and the delivery of such updated Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of such
variance or inaccuracy and neither Buyer nor Global shall have any claim (whether for indemnification or otherwise) against the Company or the Sellers for any such variance or inaccuracy; provided that any such updated Disclosure Schedules
containing any change that would result in any Material Adverse Effect shall not cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty of the Company and Sellers under this Article III. The inclusion of any item on any Disclosure Schedule shall
not constitute an admission that such item is material or that a violation, right of termination, default, liability or other obligation of any kind exists with respect to such item, but rather is intended only to qualify certain representations and
warranties in this Agreement and to set forth other information required by this Agreement. The headings with respect to each item are included for convenience only, and are not a part of the responses to requirements or a qualification of the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed
adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, unless the Disclosure Schedules identify the exception with reasonable particularity or the disclosure manifestly states an exception to a warranty or representation, as
the context requires. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty 
  

 - 17 - 








 made herein (unless (i) the representation or warranty had to do with the existence of the document or other item itself
or (ii) the representation and warranty refers to a specific violation or exception contained in the document or other item itself, which violation or exception to a representation or warranty would be reasonably obvious to a reasonable purchaser
upon review of the document or item). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a disclosure on one schedule would be reasonably obvious to a reasonable purchaser to apply to the disclosure under another schedule, then such disclosure shall be sufficient
for such other schedule (for example, if the Sellers specifically disclose on Schedule 3.12(b) an uncollectable Account Receivable that has not been reserved for on the Financial Statements, such disclosure shall be sufficient for a
disclosure under Schedule 3.11(b)). The Disclosure Schedules will be arranged in Schedules corresponding to the lettered and numbered paragraphs contained in this Article III. 
  
 3.1 Due Authorization. The Company and such Seller have all
requisite power, right and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which they are a party. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement, the

assuming payment in full of all Funded Indebtedness under the Company Credit Agreement, Buyer will hold good and marketable title to all of the Shares, free and clear of any Encumbrances whatsoever, other than Encumbrances resulting from acts,

 - 23 - 








 3.13 Taxes. 
  
 (a) All Taxes due and payable by the Companies have been paid in full. The liability for Taxes of the Companies

law) as a result of any change of accounting method for a tax period beginning prior to the Closing Date or required by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Each of the Companies is not, nor has it been since the later of (i) March 12, 1999 or (ii) the date such

have any obligation under any Tax sharing or similar agreement or arrangement. Schedule 3.13 sets forth all countries, states, provinces, cities, and other jurisdictions in which any of the Companies (i) filed Tax Returns at any time during

participated in or cooperated with an international boycott within the meaning of Section 999 of the Code. Each of the Companies has not received any written notice of any foreign income Tax rulings with respect to any of the Companies that are
material to the continuing operations of the Company. As a result of compliance with this Agreement, none of the Companies will be obligated to make a payment to an individual that would be a “parachute payment” to a “disqualified
individual” as those terms are defined in Section 280G of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) without regard to whether such payment is to be made in the future. 
  
 (c) The Company has not and except as set forth on Schedule
3.17, no Subsidiary (and any predecessor of any of the Companies, including any entity merged or liquidated into any of the Companies) has been a validly electing S corporation within the meanings of Sections 1361 and 1362 of the Code since the
later of (i) March 12, 1999 or (ii) the date such Subsidiary was directly or indirectly, formed or acquired by the Company. None of the Companies will be an S corporation as of the Closing Date. With respect to the United States and all states which

Companies are neither in default, nor has any event occurred that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default by any of the Companies, under any Listed Contract and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no event
has occurred that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both would constitute a default by any other party to any such Listed Contract; provided, however, any defaults, by either one of the Companies or any third party, that could

 ARTICLE VI 
  
 POST-CLOSING COVENANTS 
  
 6.1 General. In case at any time after the Closing any further
action is legally necessary or reasonably desirable (as determined by Buyer and the Sellers) to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further
instruments and documents) as any other party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article VIII below). In addition, the
Sellers, the Company, Buyer and Global shall take all further action as is legally necessary or reasonably desirable (at Sellers’ expense) to remove any and all liens and obligations of the Companies as of the Closing Date, if any, to the
Company Lenders. The Parent and Buyer acknowledge and 
  

 - 41 - 








 agree that from and after the Closing, Buyer will be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records, agreements,
and financial data of any sort relating to the Companies, which shall be maintained at the chief executive office of the Company; provided, however, that the Parent and the Sellers shall be entitled to reasonable access to and to make copies
of such books and records at their sole cost and expense, and Buyer will maintain all of the same for a period of at least six (6) years after the Closing. The Parent and the Sellers will also extend reasonable cooperation and assistance to Global
after the Closing (at Global’s sole cost and expense) in preparing any financial statements of the Companies or securities reports required to be made by Global under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent not obtained prior to the Closing, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the release of the Sellers and any other member of the Parent, if applicable, from all
personal guarantees, if any, with respect to the Companies. 
  
 6.2 Transition. Each Seller agrees not to knowingly take any action that primarily is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, supplier, officer, employee or other business
associate of the Companies from maintaining the same business relations with the Companies after the Closing as it maintained with any of the Companies prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, interfering in the Company’s business
operations). After the Closing, (i) each Seller agrees not to intentionally make to any customer, supplier, employee or business relation or affiliate of any of the Companies or the general public any statement that intentionally and materially
disparages Global or its Subsidiaries (including their respective officers, directors, stockholders and employees) and (ii) Global agrees not to, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, intentionally make to any customer, supplier, employee or
business relation or Affiliate of any of the Sellers or the general public any statement that intentionally and materially disparages any of the Sellers or their Affiliates (including their respective officers, directors, stockholders and
employees). 
  
 6.3 Confidentiality. Following the
Closing Date, except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, each Seller agrees to (i) treat and hold as such all Confidential Information and (ii) refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement,
including enforcement of its rights under the Transaction Documents, as an employee of the Company, or otherwise for the benefit of the Company, Buyer or their respective affiliates; provided, however, that the Parent and the Sellers
may disclose the basic terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the equityholders of the Parent and its affiliates to the extent such information is customarily provided to such equityholders in the ordinary course of business. In
the event that a Seller is requested or required (by oral question or written request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar legal proceeding) to disclose any
Confidential Information, such Seller will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement. 
  
 6.4 Covenant Not to Compete. Without any allocation of the Purchase Price paid to the Sellers by Buyer, each Seller (other than Allstate
Insurance Company) covenants and agrees, for a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, that he or it will not intentionally, directly or indirectly without the prior written consent of Buyer, for himself or on behalf of any
entity: 
  

 - 42 - 








 (a) become interested or engaged, as a stockholder, bondholder, creditor, officer, director,
partner, agent, contractor with, employer or representative of, or give financial, technical or other assistance to, any Person, firm or corporation, in each case primarily for the purpose of engaging in the Business in competition with any of the
Companies within the greater of (i) a 100 mile radius of any of the Companies’ current retail service locations, or (ii) in any geographic area in the States of California, Texas, Arizona, Washington and/or Oregon in which any of the Companies
currently conducts business (the “Current Trade Area”); 
  
 (b) enter into any agreement with, service, assist or solicit the business of any customers of the Companies, Global or any of their respective affiliates primarily for the purpose of providing retail office
equipment sales or service to such customers in competition with the Business in the Current Trade Area or to intentionally cause such customers to reduce or end their business with the Companies; or 
  
 (c) enter into any agreement with, or solicit the employment of,
employees of the Companies for the purpose of causing them to leave the employment of the Companies; 
  
 The foregoing shall in no event limit or prevent any Seller from being the owner of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation. 
  
 6.5 Additional Tax Matters. 
  
 (a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall engage Ernst &
Young (or other accounting firm of national standing reasonably acceptable to Buyer) to prepare all federal, state and local income Tax Returns with respect to all periods ending on or before the Effective Date (“Pre-Closing Tax
Periods”) that have not been filed as of the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice except as otherwise required by applicable law, and shall utilize accounting methods, elections and
conventions that do not have the effect of distorting the allocation of income or expense between Pre-Closing Tax Periods and periods ending after the Closing Date. The Company shall deliver a draft of any such Tax Return to Parent for Parent’s
review and comment at least 15 days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (or if earlier, 15 days prior to the filing date thereof). Buyer, the Company and Parent shall cooperate to resolve any disagreement they may have regarding
whether such Tax Return has been prepared in accordance with the prior practice of the Company (or, where no past practice has been established for an item, whether such item has been reported in a manner better supported by applicable law than any
other manner). The Parent’s consent shall not be required for the Company to file the Tax Return (or for Buyer to cause the Tax Return to be filed) as Buyer deems appropriate, but if the Parent delivers a written statement to Buyer no more than
10 days after receiving a Tax Return for review and comment, which written statement sets forth the Parent’s objections to the Tax Return as proposed to be filed by the Company and Buyer, the Parent and the Buyer shall (following the filing of
such Tax Return as prepared (or as caused to be prepared) by the Buyer) submit the dispute over the items specified in such written statement to the Independent Accountants. The Parent and the Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Independent Accountants to resolve such disputed items as soon as practicable, subject to the standard that items for which a past 
  

 - 43 - 








 practice has been established by the Company shall be determined in accordance with such past practice except as
otherwise required by applicable law and that all other items shall be determined in a manner better supported by applicable law than any other manner. If the Independent Accountants determines that one or more disputed items should have been
determined (based on the standard set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) in a manner different from the manner in which such item or items were reported on the Tax Return as actually filed, then the amount of Tax liabilities and Tax assets
to be reflected in the Closing Statement Review shall be determined with reference to the amounts that would have been reflected on such Tax Return had such Tax Return been prepared and filed in accordance with the Independent Accountants’
determination, as opposed to the amounts reflected on such Tax Return as actually prepared and filed. The resolution of any dispute by the Independent Accountants pursuant to this Section 6.5(a) shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the
parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be shared 50% by Buyer and Global, jointly and severally, and 50% by Parent. The Company shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company, to pay all Taxes shown as due on any Tax
Return filed pursuant to this Section 6.5(a). 
  
 (b) Buyer, the Parent and the Sellers recognize that each of them will need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by Buyer and/or the Company to the extent such
records and information pertain to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; therefore, Buyer agrees to cause the Company to (A) use its commercially reasonable efforts to properly retain and maintain such records for a period of six (6)
years from the date the Tax Returns for the year in which the Closing occurs are filed or until the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to such year, whichever is later, and (B) allow the Parent, the Sellers and their agents and
representatives at times and dates mutually acceptable to the parties, to reasonably inspect, review and make copies of such records from time to time, such activities to be conducted during normal business hours and at the Parent’s or
Sellers’ expense, as appropriate with respect to out-of-pocket expenses. 
  
 (c) If, subsequent to the Closing, Buyer or the Companies receives notice of a Tax Contest with respect to any Tax Return for a periods or portions thereof beginning prior to the Closing Date that reasonably
could be expect to have an adverse impact on the Parent’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, then within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, Buyer shall notify the Parent of such notice. Buyer shall have the right to
control the conduct and resolution of any such Tax Contest, provided, however, that the Parent shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of the portion of such Tax Contest that that reasonably could be expect to have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Parent’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such indemnification obligations would not be covered by the Escrow Sum, provided, however, that if any of the issues raised in such Material Tax
Contest could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on Taxes of the Companies for a Tax period or portion thereof beginning on or after the Closing Date (a “Post-Closing Tax Period”), then the Parent shall afford Buyer
the opportunity to control jointly the conduct and resolution of the portion of such Tax Contest with respect to such issues that could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on Taxes of the Companies in any Post-Closing Tax Period. If
Buyer shall have the right to control the conduct 
  

 - 44 - 








 and resolution of any Tax Contest that reasonably could be expect to have an adverse impact on the Parent’s
indemnification obligations under this Agreement (whether because the Parent shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest but either elects in writing not to do so or otherwise fails to do so or otherwise), then
Buyer shall keep the Parent informed of all developments on a timely basis and Buyer shall not resolve such Tax Contest in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the Parent’s indemnification obligations under
this Agreement without the Parent’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Buyer shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest but either elects in writing not to do so or otherwise fails
to do so, then the Parent shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest, provided that the Parent shall keep Buyer informed of all developments on a timely basis and the Parent shall not resolve such Tax Contest in a
manner that could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on Taxes of the Companies in any Post-Closing Tax Period without Buyer’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each party shall bear its own costs for
participating in such Tax Contest. “Tax Contest” means any audit, other administrative proceeding or inquiry or judicial proceeding involving Taxes. 
  
 (d) No Tax Return of the Company filed with respect to periods ending before, or including, the Closing Date shall be
amended after the Closing Date if such amendment reasonably could be expected to have a material adverse impact on the Parent’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement without Parent’s consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. 
  
 (e) Except to the extent
included as an asset in the Working Capital reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet or as provided in the next sentence below, all refunds of Taxes received by Buyer or the Companies, and all amounts credited against Taxes to which Buyer and the
Companies become entitled, with respect to Taxes paid by the Parent, the Sellers or the Company for periods (or portions thereof, determined in accordance with Section 6.5(b)) ending on or before the Closing Date shall be paid over to the Parent
within ten (10) Business Days of receipt or crediting by Buyer or the Companies thereof. The amount of any Tax refund or credit that may be payable to the Parent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not include any portion of such refund or
credit that is attributable to any loss, credit, deduction, or other amount that arises in or is attributable to any period (or portion thereof) after the Closing Date, nor shall Buyer or the Companies have any obligation to seek or take any action
or position in order to create, increase, or obtain any refund or reduction of the amount of Taxes paid by the Parent, the Sellers or the Companies for any period. 
  
 6.6 Agreement to Register Stock. 
  
 (a) (i) Within three (3) Business Days following the date hereof, Global shall prepare and file a registration
statement on Form S-3 (the “Resale Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act covering the resale of the Global Stock to be issued as the Stock Portion of the Purchase Price (and any shares of the capital stock of Global that
may be issued with respect to the Global Stock as a result of a reclassification, recapitalization, dividend, stock split or comparable event). Prior to the filing of the Resale Registration Statement, Global shall provide the Parent with a
reasonable opportunity to comment and shall use commercially 
  

 - 45 - 








 reasonable efforts to incorporate any reasonable comments timely provided by the Parent in the Resale Registration
Statement subject to any applicable Requirements of Laws. Global shall thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to have such Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as
soon after the filing as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days (assuming the SEC informs Global that it will not review the Resale Registration Statement or the documents incorporated by reference therein) and to keep that Resale
Registration Statement effective and current, including through the filing of any amendments and supplements that may be required under provisions of applicable law, for one year after its original effectiveness or such shorter period of time during
which all shares of Global Stock covered by the resale Registration Statement have been sold thereunder. Global may not include other shares of Global’s Stock on the Resale Registration Statement. At Global’s option, Global may satisfy its
obligations under this Section 5.1(a) on another form of registration statement under the Securities Act to the extent Form S-3 is not then currently available to Global. 
  
 (ii) Global agrees to notify each holder of Global Stock registered on the Resale Registration Statement (i) when the
Resale Registration Statement (or any post-effective amendment thereto) has become effective, (ii) if the SEC has issued any stop order with respect to the Resale Registration Statement or initiated any proceedings for that purpose, and (iii) if
Global has received any written notification with respect to the suspension of qualification of any Global Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or any securities exchange or market or with respect to the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such
purpose. Global shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal, at the earliest practicable time (after any period described in Section 6.6(b)), of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement,
(ii) any order preventing or suspending the use of a prospectus or (iii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Global Stock for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, provided, however, that to
obtain the withdrawal of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Global Stock Global shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or
(y) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in excess of a nominal amount in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
  
 (iii) Upon the occurrence of any event that requires Global to make changes in the Resale Registration Statement or the
prospectus so that, as of such date, neither the Resale Registration Statement nor the related prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact nor omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of the related prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, Global shall, (subject to the periods permissible under Section 6.6(b)) promptly prepare and file a post-effective
amendment to the Resale Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related prospectus, as the case may be, so that, as thereafter delivered to holders of Global Stock registered on the Resale Registration Statement, the Resale
Registration Statement and the related prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the related
prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
  

 - 46 - 








 (iv) Global further agrees to furnish holders of Global Stock registered on the Resale Registration
Statement such numbers of copies of a prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of applicable law, any amendment or supplement to such prospectus, and such other documents as each such holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Global Stock owned by such holder. 
  
 (b)
The Parent and the Sellers shall not (and shall cause each holder of Global Stock registered on the Resale Registration Statement to not) effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of
Global Stock during any one or more periods not to exceed 45 days in any three-month period and not to exceed, in the aggregate, 90 days in any 12-month period in which Global notifies such holders of Global Stock registered on the Resale
Registration Statement not to effect any public sale or distribution of such securities; provided, however, that such restriction may only be applied to the holders of such Global Stock if all other holders of Global Stock registered
pursuant to a registration statement covering the resale of Global Stock are restricted during such period from effecting any public sale or distribution of Global Stock. The Parent and the Sellers further expressly agree that they shall (and shall
cause each holder of Global Stock registered on the Resale Registration Statement to) maintain in confidence the fact of Global’s delivery of notice that no public shares or distributions shall be made. The Parent and the Sellers agree to
comply with the provisions of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder relating to stock manipulation, including Regulation M. 
  
 (c) At any time when a prospectus relating to the Resale Registration Statement is required to be delivered under
applicable law, Global will give notice to any holder of Global Stock registered on the Resale Registration Statement of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Resale Registration Statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. Any such holder shall
cease using such prospectus immediately upon receipt of notice from Global to that effect and shall maintain in confidence the fact of Global’s having delivered such notice until such time as Global has supplemented or amended the prospectus as
described below. At the request of such holder, Global shall prepare and furnish to each holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers
of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing. 
  
 (d) (i) Global shall bear all costs incurred
in preparing and filing the Resale Registration Statement including, without limitation, all applicable legal, accounting, printing, blue sky and SEC filing fees, provided, however, that Global shall not be responsible for any underwriting
commissions or discounts, brokerage fees or legal fees or disbursements incurred by any person or entity (other than Global) that sells any shares of Global Stock under the Resale Registration Statement. Global shall also bear all costs of keeping
the Resale Registration Statement current during the applicable period described in Section 6.6(a).

 (ii) Global will indemnify and hold harmless each holder of Global Stock registered on the Resale
Registration Statement against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such holder may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Resale Registration Statement, as supplemented or amended, any final prospectus contained therein, as supplemented or amended, or any amendment or supplement thereof, as
supplemented or amended, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that (i)
Global will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with
information furnished by such holder in writing specifically for use in the Resale Registration Statement or prospectus; (ii) Global shall not be liable to any such holder that uses the Resale Registration Statement or related prospectus during a
period when a stop order has been issued in respect of such Resale Registration Statement or any proceedings for that purpose have been initiated, provided that, in any such case, Global has provided notice thereof to such holder within a
reasonable period of time prior to the use by such holder of the Resale Registration Statement or related prospectus; and (iii) Global shall not be liable to any such holder with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue

in the form attached as Exhibit J hereto, (2) receive the Global Shares in a transaction effected in compliance with the requirements of the Equity Subscription Agreement, and (3) (A) are members of the Parent or (B) receive the Global Shares

the Parent promptly in cash after such determination is made.

provision in the Companies’ Organizational Documents or Governing Documents relating to the exculpation or indemnification of former officers and directors (unless otherwise required by law), it being the intent of the Parties that the officers
and directors of the Companies prior to the Closing shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or
shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, maintain director and officer liability insurance, which insurance shall provide coverage for the individuals who were officers and director of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing
Date, comparable to the policy or policies maintained by the Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date to the maximum extent such policies may be so maintained, for no more than an annual cost of 300% of the cost for the year ended December
31, 2003. All estimated costs of procuring such insurance (to the extent not obtained or paid by the Companies prior to the Effective Date) shall be deemed to be Shut Down Costs.

 ARTICLE VIII

 (a) Indemnification of Buyer. Except as provided in Section 8.5, each Seller, individually and not joint and severally, shall
indemnify and hold harmless Global and Buyer and each officer, director and affiliate of Global and Buyer, including without limitation the Company or any successor of the Company (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively,
the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands, charges, suits, penalties, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred in investigating and preparing for any litigation or proceeding) other than consequential, special and indirect damages (collectively, the “Indemnifiable Costs”), which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties
sustains, or to which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties is subjected, arising out of any misrepresentation or breach by such Seller under any of the individual representations in Sections 3.1 and 3.9(a), (d) and (e), covenants,
conditions, agreements or other provisions of this Agreement or any agreement or document executed in connection herewith with respect to such Seller (collectively, the “Individual Obligations”). Except as provided in Section
8.5, the Parent and the Sellers, jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Indemnifiable Costs which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties sustains, or to which any of the
Buyer Indemnified Parties is subjected, arising out of (A) any misrepresentations or breach by the Company (and not with respect to a particular member of Parent) of or under any of the representations, covenants, conditions, agreements or other
provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document executed in connection herewith; (B) any liability against the Companies or any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to (i) any other party to a Dealer Agreement or (ii) any party to an equipment
leasing arrangement with a leasing company (other than the DLL Leasing Agreement or any related agreement with DLL or other agreement with DLL listed on Schedule 3.9 or 3.14) or one of the Companies’ customers for claims by such other
party involving the breach of any such agreement or any Requirements of Laws in connection with any such agreement; to the extent not listed on Schedule 3.18, based upon facts occurring prior to Closing which form the alleged basis for any
litigation, but only (i) if the primary claim of any such dispute or litigation with such other party to a Dealer Agreement or an equipment leasing agreement is the breach of any such agreement or any Requirements of Laws in connection with any such
agreement prior to the Closing by the Companies (i.e. not primarily based on circumstances affecting the relationship with such third party after the Closing) and (ii) to the extent it should have been, but was not, reserved for or reflected in the
Financial Statements; (C) any obligation or uncollected amounts actually due by the Companies pursuant to a recourse lease or guaranty entered into by the Company or the Sellers on or prior to the Closing Date, whether or not disclosed on the
Disclosure Schedules, but only to the extent not reserved for or reflected in the Financial Statements or the final and binding Closing Statement Review in accordance with GAAP, or (D) any claims or liability against the Company, whether known at
the time of signing of the Agreement or not, assessed for periods prior to the Closing by any Governmental Body or representative thereof for Unclaimed Property except as reserved for or reflected in the Financial Statements. This indemnification is
expressly intended to apply notwithstanding any negligence (whether sole, concurrent, active or passive) or other fault or strict liability on the part of the Buyer. 
  
 (b) Indemnification of the Parent and the Sellers. Except as provided in Section 8.5, Buyer and Global
(collectively, the “Buyer Indemnifying Parties”) 
  

 - 54 - 








 agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Parent, the Sellers and each officer, director, partner,
member and affiliate of the Parent and the Sellers (other than the Companies after the Closing) (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and together with the
Buyer Indemnified Parties, each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Costs, which any of the Seller Indemnified Parties sustains, or to which
any of the Seller Indemnified Parties is subjected (whether or not brought by a third party) arising out of (A) any misrepresentation or breach by Buyer and/or Global of or under any of the warranties, representations, covenants, conditions,
agreements or other provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document executed in connection herewith; or (B) any claim or liability against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties by any Person based upon facts occurring or arising after the
Closing Date and unrelated to acts or omissions of the Sellers prior to the Closing Date. This indemnification is expressly intended to apply notwithstanding any negligence (whether sole, concurrent, active or passive) or other fault or strict
liability on the part of the Sellers. 
  
 (c)
Exceptions. Claims made by one Party against the other Party pursuant to Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and/or 2.9 shall not be subject to any of the provisions or the limitations set forth in Section 8.5. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make any claim under this Article VIII to the extent, but only to such extent, that the item for which such claim was made resulted in a Purchase Price
adjustment pursuant to Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 or 2.9 that was paid in full by the other Party or had the result of actually decreasing or increasing the Purchase Price. 
  
 8.2 Defense of Claims. 
  
 (a) If any legal proceeding shall be instituted, or any claim or demand made, against any Buyer Indemnified Party or
Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, in respect of which the Parent, any Seller or the Buyer Indemnifying Parties, as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Party”), may be liable hereunder (except for a proceeding or claim
regarding Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 6.5(c)), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receiving any written notice from any
third party describing in reasonable particularity the claim and the basis thereof; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation
hereunder, unless, and then solely to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Once the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend
any litigation, action, suit, demand, or claim for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification and such Indemnified Party shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with such defense, which shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense. 
  
 (b) In the event the Indemnifying Parties fail
or refuse to defend the same within a reasonable length of time, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, and the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable to repay the Indemnified Parties for all reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with said defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and settlement payments) if it is determined that such request for indemnification was proper. 
  

 - 55 - 








 (c) If the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume the defense of any litigation,
action, suit, demand, or claim in accordance with clause (b) above, the Indemnified Parties shall have the absolute right to control the defense of and to settle, with the consent of the Indemnifying Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, such litigation, action, suit, demand, or claim; provided that Parent shall have the absolute right to settle any and all claims to the extent that payment for such claim is made solely from the Escrow Sum. 
  
 (d) The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled, at their own expense,
to participate in such litigation, action, suit, demand, or claim to the extent practicable. 
  
 8.3 Escrow Claim. Following the Closing and through the date of the Escrow Sum has been exhausted for fully released, if any claim for indemnification other than Individual Obligations is made by an
Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period, such Indemnified Party shall first apply to the Escrow Agent for reimbursement of such claim in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the Escrow Agreement. Thereafter, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may have recourse against Parent and Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement. 
  
 8.4 Offsets Against Indemnification. The amount of any
Indemnifiable Costs for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII (a) shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized (in the form of a Tax refund, reduction in Taxes payable, or credit against Taxes payable),
and shall be increased to take account of any net Tax detriment realized, arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Indemnifiable Costs or from the receipt of any such indemnification payment and (b) shall be reduced by the insurance
proceeds received and any other net amount, if any, recovered from third parties, pursuant to acquisition agreements with the Companies or otherwise, by any Indemnified Party (or its Affiliates) with respect to any Indemnifiable Costs. If a Party
that has received a payment for an Indemnifiable Cost realizes a Tax benefit after such payment has been received, and such Tax benefit was not previously netted against such payment, such Party shall promptly pay over to the Party that made the
payment an amount equal to the amount of such Tax benefit. If any Indemnified Party shall have received any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VIII with respect to any Indemnifiable Costs, such Indemnified Party shall, upon
written request by the Indemnifying Party, assign to such Indemnifying Party (to the extent of the indemnification payment) any claim which such Indemnified Party may have under any applicable insurance policy or other agreement which provides
coverage for such Indemnifiable Costs to the extent of such indemnification payment, to the extent such assignment is permissible (and if not permissible, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts at the Indemnifying
Party’s expense to recover such amounts on behalf of the Indemnifying Party). Such Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) to collect under such insurance policy or agreement prior to or
contemporaneously with seeking indemnification against an Indemnifying Party. If any Indemnified Party shall have received any payment 
  

 - 56 - 








 pursuant to this Article VIII with respect to any Indemnifiable Costs and has or shall subsequently have received
insurance proceeds or other amounts with respect to such Indemnifiable Costs, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting the amount of the expenses incurred by it in
procuring such recovery and any Tax detriment realized), but not in excess of the amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party. 
  
 8.5 Limits on Indemnification. Regardless of any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any party hereto or of any information
any party may have in respect thereof, all covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties and the related indemnities made hereunder or pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive the Closing for
a period of eighteen (18) months, provided (a) the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 3.1 (Due Authorization), 3.6 (Capital Stock; Title to Shares), 3.7 (Convertible Securities, Options, Etc.), 3.13 (Taxes), 3.25
(Employee Benefits), 4.2 (Due Authorization), 4.4 (Investment), 4.9 (Issuance of Global Shares), 5.5 (Access), 6.1 (General), 6.2 (Transition), 6.3 (Confidentiality), 6.4 (Covenant Not to Compete), 6.5 (Additional Tax Matters), and 6.7 (Shut Down
Costs) and Article VIII of this Agreement, and the related indemnities, as well as the right to make any claim for fraud, shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations for determining or
contesting tort or contract claims, Tax liabilities or fraud, as the case may be; provided, however, that the indemnities provided in Section 8.1(a)(B), (C) or (D) shall in any event expire no later than the fourth anniversary
of the Closing Date, (b) the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 3.2 (Title to Shares), and 3.4(b) and (c) (Subsidiaries) of this Agreement, and the related indemnities, shall survive the Closing indefinitely and
not expire, and (c) all other covenants set forth in Article VI which have specific expiration terms as set forth herein shall expire as of the dates set forth therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnification claims made prior to
the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or period set forth in the preceding sentence, shall continue after such date until finally resolved. The Sellers shall not be obligated to pay any amounts for indemnification under this
Article VIII (other than Individual Obligations) until the aggregate indemnification obligations hereunder exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”) (Purchase Price adjustments pursuant to Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and
2.9 and any liability pursuant to Section 6.5, 6.6 or 6.7 shall not be included in the calculation of the Deductible, whereupon the Sellers shall be liable for all amounts for which indemnification may be sought solely to the
extent in excess of the Deductible. For purposes of Section 8.1 or 8.5, any requirement in any representation or warranty of Parent or the Company that an event or fact be material or have a Material Adverse Effect, as appropriate, in
order for such event or fact to constitute a misrepresentation or breach of such representation or warranty shall be ignored; provided, however, that no individual claim involving less than $25,000 or series of related claims involving less
than $50,000 may be sought for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties and any such small claims shall not be applied to the Deductible or the Primary Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the
Sellers hereunder (including Sections 2.7 and 2.8) exceed $4,000,000 (the “Primary Cap”) (except for any claims for breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Sellers under Sections 3.1(Due
Authorization), 3.2 (Title to Shares), 3.4(b) or (c) (Subsidiaries), 3.6 (Capital Stock; Title to Shares), 3.7 (Convertible Securities, Options, Etc.), 3.13 (Taxes), 3.25 
  

 - 57 - 








 (Employee Benefits), 6.4 (Covenant Not to Compete), 6.5 (Additional Tax Matters) and the indemnity provisions of
Sections 8.1(a)(B) or (D) and any claims for fraud). In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Parent and the Sellers to Buyer Indemnified Parties for breaches of Section 8.1(a)(B) and (D) in the aggregate exceed the
amount equal to (x) $12,000,000 less (y) the aggregate amount of claims paid by Sellers under the Primary Cap. In no event shall the aggregate liability of (i) the Parent and the Sellers to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Agreement and the
Transaction Documents or Buyer and/or Global to any Seller Indemnified Party for indemnification under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents exceed $50,000,000 (the “Cap”) other than claims for fraud and (ii) any Member to
the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents exceed such member’s pro rata share of the Cap based on such Member’s share of the Purchase Price (excluding Funded Indebtedness) as if such amount was
distributed to the Members immediately following the Closing pursuant to the terms of the Parent’s Organizational Documents and Governing Documents and further provided that such individual portion of the Cap shall not exceed the amount of the
Purchase Price actually distributed to such Member or its transferees (this clause (ii), their “Pro Rata Limitation”). However, nothing in this Article VIII shall limit Buyer or the Sellers in exercising or securing any
remedies or in the amount of damages that it can recover from the Sellers or Buyer in the event that Buyer or the Sellers successfully prove fraud by the other in connection with this Agreement, including the Financial Statements or the Disclosure
Schedules attached hereto; provided, however, that (i) no particular member of Parent shall be liable for the fraud of any other member of Parent and (ii) no particular member of Parent shall be liable for more than their Pro Rata Limitation for any
fraud committed by Parent and/or the Companies unless Buyer successfully proves fraud by such member of Parent. Any settlement of a claim brought against an Indemnified Party must be consented to in writing by the Indemnified Party, and such consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld, provided, however, that the Parent shall have the absolute right to settle any and all claims to the extent that payment for such claim is made solely from the Escrow Sum. Neither Buyer nor the Sellers
shall be liable for punitive damages pursuant to any claim made by another party to this Agreement. 
  
 8.6 Other Limitations Regarding Indemnification. 
  

(a) To the extent that any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by the Sellers is capable of remedy or cure, Global shall, and
shall cause each other Buyer Indemnified Party to, afford the Seller Indemnifying Party thirty (30) days to remedy or cure the breach and provide to the Seller Indemnifying Party all reasonable assistance (including access to buildings, offices,
records, files, properties and assets) in connection with such remedy or cure. Global shall take, and shall cause each other Buyer Indemnified Party to take, reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of any breach giving rise to an
indemnification obligation of the Seller Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. Conversely, to the extent that any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by Global or Buyer is capable of remedy or cure, the Sellers shall, and shall
cause each other Seller Indemnified Party to, afford the Buyer Indemnifying Party thirty (30) days to remedy or cure the breach and provide to the Buyer Indemnifying Party all reasonable assistance (including access to buildings, offices, records,
files, properties and assets) in connection with such remedy or cure. Sellers shall take, and shall cause each other Seller Indemnified Party to take, reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of any breach giving rise to an indemnification
obligation of the Buyer Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. 
  

 - 58 - 








 (b) With respect to any claim relating to environmental matters in which any Buyer Indemnified
Party (including, without limitation, the Company) is required under applicable Environmental Law or other laws to initiate or conduct a response action, the Indemnifying Party shall only be responsible to provide indemnification with respect to the
most economically reasonable response action required under such Environmental Law. A claim arising out of offsite disposal that is resolved through agreement, settlement or consent among a group of potentially responsible parties with the
appropriate governmental authority shall be deemed economically reasonable as long as it affects other similarly situated parties similarly to the Buyer Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall have the option to observe and approve (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld) any response action and Buyer and Global shall, and shall cause the Buyer Indemnified Parties (including, without limitation, the Company) to, provide the Indemnifying Party and their agents and
representatives reasonable assistance, including access to any affected real property, to observe the response action. To the extent any Buyer Indemnified Party elects to implement a response action that is not economically reasonable (in
Global’s reasonable determination), any excess expense relating to the response action shall be borne by the Buyer Indemnified Parties and not the Indemnifying Party. 
  
 (c) In computing the amount of any indemnification to which a Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled by virtue of a
breach of (i) Section 3.11 based on the amount of assets or liabilities reflected in the financial statements referred to therein or (ii) Section 3.17 based on the list of certain assets over $25,000, if the amount of any liabilities
has been understated, or unrecorded, or assets overstated on the one hand, but on the other hand the amount of any other liabilities has been overstated or any assets understated only the net effect (benefit or detriment) of such errors shall be
taken into account. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent of any indemnification payments to any Indemnified Party with respect to any particular Indemnifiable Costs, no recovery for such amount may be made by any of the other Indemnified Parties
from any of the Indemnifying Parties in respect thereof and no additional recovery for such amount may be made by any Indemnified Party under this Agreement (including any arising pursuant to CERCLA or otherwise in respect of environmental, health
or safety matters) (to avoid duplicate recovery). 
  
 (e)
With respect to any claim for indemnification which is a joint and several obligation of the Seller Indemnifying Parties including any claim under the second sentence of Section 8.1(a) above, Buyer and Global shall in good faith make such
claim and the collection thereof first against all Sellers prior to asserting such joint and several claim against any individual Member or group of Members. 
  
 8.7 Exclusive Remedy. Except for claims for fraud, an action for damages under this Article VIII constitutes the sole and exclusive
remedy of the parties with respect to money damages regarding claims made under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocable waives and releases the other from any and all claims and other causes of action relating to money damages regarding
the provisions of this Agreement. 
  

 - 59 - 








 8.8 Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any payment under this Article VIII shall be
treated for tax purposes as an adjustment of the Purchase Price to the extent such characterization is proper and permissible under relevant Tax authorities, including court decisions, statutes, regulations and administrative promulgations.

  
 8.9 No Other Representations or Projections.
Except as set forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, none of Parent or the other Sellers, the Company, Buyer or Global makes any representation or warranty whatsoever, and Global and Buyer on the one hand, and the Sellers
and the Company, on the other, is not relying on any such representation or warranty or any other representation or warranty in its decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. No representation or warranty is made by any Party as to the future profitability, value, earning power or prospects of Global, the Companies, the Shares or the Global Stock. Without limiting the foregoing, each of
Global and Buyer on the one hand and the Sellers on the other, agrees that none of Parent or the other Sellers, the Companies, Global or Buyer nor any of their respective members, equityholders, partners and Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents make any representation or warranty with respect to any estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and
forecasts) provided by any Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Global and Buyer further acknowledges and agrees after the Closing, it, and its equityholders and Affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, equityholders and partners, will have no further recourse whatsoever against any of the Seller Parties with respect to the Shares, the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. Each of Seller Parties further acknowledges and agrees after the Closing, it, and its equityholders and Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, equityholders
and partners, will have no further recourse whatsoever against any of Global or Buyer with respect to the Shares, the Stock portion of Purchase Price, the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

 - 60 - 








 Sellers are in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement but only to the extent such
breach constitutes a Material Adverse Effect and such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof, and the Parent may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Buyer at any time prior to the Closing in
the event the Buyer or Global is in material breach of any material representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement and such material breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof; 
  
 (c) Parent and/or the Sellers may terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice to the Buyer at any time prior to the Closing if any Governmental Body shall institute or threaten any suit, action or proceeding challenging the validity or legality, or seeking to restrain the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; 
  
 (d) Buyer and/or Global
may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Parent at any time prior to the Closing if any Governmental Body shall institute or threaten any suit, action or proceeding challenging the validity or legality, or seeking to restrain the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; 
  
 (e) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Parent at any time prior to the Closing if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 30, 2004 by reason of the failure of any condition precedent
under Section 7.1 hereof (unless the failure results primarily from the Buyer or Global itself breaching any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement); or 
  
 (f) Parent may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Buyer at any time prior to the Closing if the
Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 30, 2004 by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 7.2 hereof (unless the failure results primarily from the Company or the Sellers itself breaching any representation,
warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement). 
  
 9.2

contained in this Section 9.2 shall alter, affect, modify or restrict any parties’ rights to rely on and/or seek indemnification for any willful or intentional breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any of the
Parties contained in this Agreement or for fraud. 
  
 ARTICLE X

  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 10.1 Modifications. Any amendment, change or modification of
this Agreement prior to Closing shall be void unless in writing and signed by Global, the Buyer, the 
  

 - 61 - 








 Company, Parent and the Majority Members. After the Closing, this Agreement may be amended, changed or modified with the
written consent of Global, Parent and the Majority Members; provided, however, that any change or waiver which affects a particular Seller or group of Sellers individually in a manner materially adverse to all Sellers generally (as opposed to
all Sellers), must be approved in writing by such Seller or the majority of such group of Sellers, as applicable. No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder (and no course of dealing between or
among any of the parties) shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege. No waiver of any default on any one occasion shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default. No single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or privilege shall preclude the further or full exercise thereof. 
  
 10.2 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, or if sent by United States certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, shall be deemed duly given on the first attempted delivery by United States Postal Service, or if sent by facsimile or receipted overnight courier services shall be deemed duly given on the Business Day received if received prior to

 10.3 Counterparts; Facsimile Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which counterparts collectively shall constitute one instrument, and in making proof of this Agreement, it shall never be necessary to produce or account for more than one such
counterpart. Signatures of a party to this Agreement or other documents executed in connection herewith which are sent to the other parties by facsimile transmission shall be binding as evidence of acceptance of the terms hereof or thereof by such
signatory party, with originals to be circulated to the other parties in due course. 
  
 10.4 Expenses. Each of the parties hereto agrees to bear its own transaction expenses and brokerage fees in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Buyer and the Company (after the Closing) shall bear all Sellers’ Closing Costs, which shall reduce the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6. The Sellers shall be also responsible for all stock transfer or capital gains taxes
imposed on the Companies or Sellers, if any, in connection with this Agreement. 
  
 10.5 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Global, the Company, Buyer, the Parent and the Sellers, their heirs, representatives, successors, and
permitted assigns, in accordance with the terms hereof. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company or the Sellers without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided, however, that the Parent may assign any and all of its
rights and interests hereunder (other than the Global Stock except as permitted by Section 6.6) to one or more of its Members and the Members may assign any and all of their rights and interests hereunder to one or more of their affiliates,
in each case so long as such Seller or Sellers, as applicable, remains responsible for the performance of all their respective obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be assignable by Buyer to a wholly owned subsidiary of Global or a
wholly-owned subsidiary of any such subsidiary (unless in each case Buyer or Global intends to sell or transfer such Subsidiary) without the prior written consent of the Parent, but any such assignment shall not relieve Buyer or Global of its
obligations hereunder. In addition, the indemnification rights of Buyer or Global under Article VIII hereof may be collaterally assigned to Wachovia Bank, National Association. Furthermore, as Global intends to merge Buyer with and into the
Company following the Closing, Global shall be entitled to enforce and exercise any of Buyer’s rights under any of the Transaction Documents following the consummation of such merger. 
  
 10.6 Entire and Sole Agreement. This Agreement and the other
schedules and agreements referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises, information, arrangements and understandings, whether oral
or written, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof other than the Confidentiality Agreement. 
  
 10.7 GOVERNING LAW. IT IS UNDERSTOOD
AND AGREED THAT THE CONSTRUCTION AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
AT ALL TIMES AND IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS RULES OF CONFLICTS
OF LAWS. ANY CLAIM, COMPLAINT, OR ACTION BROUGHT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE BROUGHT IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE
OF 
  

 - 64 - 








 DELAWARE, WHOSE COURTS SHALL HAVE
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OVER CLAIMS, COMPLAINTS, OR ACTIONS BROUGHT UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AND SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL
JURISDICTION AND VENUE THEREOF. 
  
 10.8 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be considered divisible and inoperative as to such provision to
the extent it is deemed to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and in all other respects this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if any provision of this Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable there shall be added hereto automatically a provision as similar as possible to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision and be legal, valid and enforceable. Further, should any provision contained in this Agreement
ever be reformed or rewritten by any judicial body of competent jurisdiction, such provision as so reformed or rewritten shall be binding upon all parties hereto. 
  
 10.9 Public Announcements. No party shall make any public announcement of the transactions contemplated hereby
without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by law or regulation (in which case
the disclosing Party will advise the other Parties prior to making the disclosure and provide a reasonable opportunity for review and comment prior to making the disclosure). 
  
 10.10 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of the parties under this Agreement are cumulative and shall not
exclude any other remedies to which any party may be lawfully entitled, subject to the terms of Article VIII. 
  
 10.11 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder or under any of the
documents delivered in connection with this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. 
  
 10.12
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO
HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. 
  
 10.13 Breach or Violation. Without limiting or waiving in any respect any rights or remedies of any party hereto under this Agreement or
hereinafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, each of the Parties hereto shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief or specific performance of the obligations to be performed by the other Parties in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. 
  
 10.14 Global Undertaking. Global
acknowledges and agrees that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, Global hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees and shall be liable for the
prompt payment and performance of all of the duties and obligations of Buyer 
  

 - 65 - 








 under and pursuant to this Agreement as a primary obligor and shall be jointly and severally liable with Buyer for all
liabilities and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.
