Contemplated Transactions except as set forth on Schedule 2.5. and (y) omitting from
accounts receivable any Accounts Receivable that are not actually collected (after making
commercially reasonable efforts to collect such receivables in accordance with CAI’s normal
collection policies) between the Closing Date and the date that is 145 days following the Closing
Date and omitting from the accrued expenses the related commissions payable for such omitted
Accounts Receivable, and notify in writing the Seller of such Final Net Working Capital. Final Net
Working Capital shall be calculated pursuant to the formula set forth in Schedule 2.5
hereto and such calculations shall be set forth in the notice to Seller in reasonable detail
consistent with Schedule 2.5. Except as set forth on
Schedule 2.5, the individual
line items included in Final Net Working Capital shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Buyer shall provide the Seller with access to such working papers used by Buyer or its
representatives or agents (including, without limitation, all accountants) to determine the Final
Net Working Capital, as the Seller shall reasonably request. Thirty (30) days following the
delivery of the Final Net Working Capital (or if the Seller has an objection to the Final Net
Working Capital amount, within five Business Days after the final resolution of such objection as
set forth in subsection (b) below if later than such date), the Purchase Price shall be
recalculated such that the Purchase Price will be (i) increased by an amount equal to the excess
of the Final Net Working Capital or the Net Working Capital resulting from subsection (b) below,
as the case may be over Target Net Working Capital, if any, or (ii) decreased by an amount equal
to the
19
excess of the Target Net Working Capital over the Final Net Working Capital or the Net Working
Capital resulting from subsection (b) below, as the case may be (the Purchase Price, as adjusted
pursuant to the foregoing formula is referred to as the “Final Purchase Price”). At such time as
the Final Purchase Price is calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) the
Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, by which the Final Purchase Price is less than the
Purchase Price or (ii) Buyer shall pay to the Seller, by depositing such amount in the Escrow Fund
(as if such payment were additional Purchase Price) an amount, if any, by which the Final Purchase
Price exceeds the Purchase Price.
(b) The Seller shall notify Buyer, in writing, within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notification of the Final Net Working Capital, of any objections thereto, setting forth in such
notice a statement describing such objections (an “Objection Notice”). If the Seller does not
deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then the Final Net Working Capital
shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon each of the parties hereto for the purposes
of determining the dollar amounts therein. Buyer and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable
best efforts to resolve any such objection and to agree upon the definitive Net Working Capital to
be used to calculate the Final Purchase Price. If within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of an
Objection Notice, the parties have not resolved such objections and agreed upon the definitive
Final Net Working Capital, Buyer and the Seller shall select Ernst & Young, LLP, to resolve any
remaining objections (the “Firm”) (or such other national accounting firm as the Parties shall
mutually agree). Buyer and the Seller shall cause such Firm, within twenty (20) days after its
selection, to resolve such disagreement and to prepare the definitive Net Working Capital to be
used to calculate the Final Purchase Price, which resolution and definitive Net Working Capital
will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The Firm’s determination will be calculated
in a manner consistent with, and using the same methodology set forth in Schedule 2.5 and
this Section 2.6. If the parties submit any unresolved objections to the Firm for
resolution as provided in this Section 2.6(b), the fees and expenses of the Firm shall be borne by
the party whose assertion of Net Working Capital differs most from the Firm’s determination of Net
Working Capital.

by Seller or
any Seller Subsidiary. There is no dispute or claim concerning any Taxes of Seller or any

amounts that are required under the terms of each Employee Plan to be paid as contributions
with respect
to all periods prior to and including the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such
Employee Plan
ended on or before the date of this Agreement and all periods thereafter prior to the Closing
Date, and no
accumulated funding deficiency or liquidity shortfall (as those terms are defined in Section
302 of ERISA
and Section 412 of the Code) has been incurred with respect to any such Employee Plan, whether

(d) No Employee Plan, if subject to Title IV of ERISA, has been completely or
partially terminated, nor has any event occurred nor does any circumstance exist that could
result in the
partial termination of such Employee Plan. The PBGC has not instituted or threatened a
Proceeding to
terminate or to appoint a trustee to administer any of the Employee Plans pursuant to Subtitle
1 of Title
IV of ERISA, and no condition or set of circumstances exists that presents a material risk of
termination
or partial termination of any of the Employee Plans by the PBGC. None of the Employee Plans
has been
the subject of, and no event has occurred or condition exists that could be deemed, a
reportable event (as
defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) as to which a notice would be required (without regard to
regulatory
monetary thresholds) to be filed with the PBGC. Seller has paid in full all insurance premiums
due to the
PBGC with regard to the Employee Plans for all applicable periods ending on or before the
Closing Date.
(e) Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability or has Knowledge of any
facts or circumstances that might give rise to any liability, and the Contemplated
Transactions will not
result in any liability, (i) for the termination of or withdrawal from any Employee Plan under
Sections 4062, 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, (ii) for any lien imposed under Section 302(f) of ERISA
or

(f) Seller has, at all times, complied, and currently complies, in all material respects
with the applicable continuation requirements for its welfare benefit plans, including (1)
Section 4980B of
the Code (as well as its predecessor provision, Section 162(k) of the Code) and Sections 601
through 608,
inclusive, of ERISA, which provisions are hereinafter referred to collectively as “COBRA” and
(2) any
applicable state statutes mandating health insurance continuation coverage for employees.
(g) The form of all Employee Plans is in compliance with the applicable terms of
ERISA, the Code, and any other applicable laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990,
the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of
1996, and such plans have been operated in compliance with such laws and the written Employee
Plan
documents. Neither Seller nor any of its ERISA Affiliates’ employees or directors who are
fiduciaries,
nor the Knowledge of Seller, any other fiduciary of an Employee Plan has violated the
requirements of
Section 404 of ERISA with respect to such Employee Plan. All required reports and descriptions
of the
Employee Plans (including Internal Revenue Service Form 5500 Annual Reports, Summary Annual
Reports and Summary Plan Descriptions and Summaries of Material Modifications) have been (when
required) timely filed with the IRS, the U.S. Department of Labor or other Governmental Body
and
distributed as required, and all notices required by ERISA or the Code or any other Legal
Requirement
with respect to the Employee Plans have been appropriately given.
(h) Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401 (a) of the Code has
received a favorable determination letter from the IRS, or if a prototype document, is subject to
an opinion letter that may be relied upon, and Seller has no Knowledge of any circumstances that
will or could result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter or opinion letter.
Each trust created under any Employee Plan has been determined to be exempt from taxation under
Section 501 (a) of the Code, and Seller is not aware of any circumstance that will or could result
in a revocation of such exemption. Each Employee Welfare Benefit Plan (as defined in Section 3(1)
of ERISA) that utilizes a funding vehicle described in Section 501(c)(9) of the Code or is subject
to the provisions of Section 505 of the Code has been the subject of a notification by the IRS that
such funding vehicle qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code or that
the plan complies with Section 505 of the Code, unless the IRS does not, as a matter of policy,
issue such notification with respect to the particular type of
28
plan. With respect to each Employee Plan, no event has occurred or condition exists that will or
could give rise to a loss of any intended Tax consequence or to any Tax under Section 511 of the
Code.
(i) There is no pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened Proceeding relating to any
Employee Plan, nor is there any basis for any such Proceeding. Neither Seller nor any of its ERISA
Affiliates’ employees or directors who are fiduciaries, or to the Knowledge of Seller, any other
fiduciary of an Employee Plan has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Employee Plan that,
assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof, could subject Seller
or Buyer to a Tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(1) of ERISA
or a violation of Section 406 of ERISA. The Contemplated Transactions will not result in the
potential assessment of a Tax or penalty under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(1) of ERISA
nor result in a violation of Section 406 of ERISA.
(j) Seller has maintained workers’ compensation coverage as required by applicable state law
through purchase of insurance and not by self-insurance or otherwise except as disclosed to Buyer
on Schedule 3.16(j).
(k) The consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will not accelerate the time of vesting
or the time of payment, or increase the amount, of compensation due to any director, employee,
officer, former employee or former officer of Seller that will result in liability to CAI, the
Buyer or any Targeted Subsidiary. There are no contracts or arrangements providing for payments
that could subject any person to liability for Tax under Section 4999 of the Code. Buyer shall
have no Liability, and Seller shall exclusively be liable, for any responsibilities, liabilities
or obligations described in Section 10.1(e)(ii) or in Section 10.1(e)(iii) hereof.
(1) Except for the continuation coverage requirements of COBRA, Seller has no obligations or
potential liability for benefits to employees, former employees or their respective dependents
following termination of employment or retirement under any of the Employee Plans that are
Employee Welfare Benefit Plans that will result in liability to CAI, the Buyer or any Targeted
Subsidiary.
(m) None of the Contemplated Transactions will result in an amendment, modification or
termination of any of the Employee Plans that will result in Liability to CAI, the Buyer or any
Targeted Subsidiary. No written or oral representations have been made to any employee or former
employee of Seller promising or guaranteeing any employer payment or funding for the continuation
of medical, dental, life or disability coverage for any period of time beyond the end of the
current plan year (except to the extent of coverage required under COBRA) that will result in
Liability to CAI, the Buyer or any Targeted Subsidiary. No written or oral representations have
been made by Seller or the Targeted Subsidiaries, or any of their respective affiliates, to any
employee or former employee of Seller concerning the employee benefits of Buyer.
(n) With respect to any Multiemployer Plan to which Seller or any ERISA Affiliate of Seller
has at any time had an obligation to contribute:
(i) all contributions required by the terms of such Multiemployer Plan and any
collective bargaining agreement have been made when due; and
(ii) neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate of Seller would be subject to any
withdrawal liability under Part 1 of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA if, as of the date
hereof, Seller or any ERISA Affiliate of Seller were to engage in a “complete withdrawal”
(as defined in ERISA Section 4203) or a “partial withdrawal” (as defined in ERISA Section
4205) from such Multiemployer Plan.
29
(o) With respect to any Employee Plan that is a “multiple employer welfare arrangement”
within the meaning of Section 3(40)(A) of ERISA (a “MEWA”), and any other MEWA to which Seller or
any ERISA Affiliate of Seller has at any time had an obligation to contribute:
(i) such MEWA has complied at all times with all applicable state laws; and
(ii) neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate of Seller would be subject to any Liability
under any applicable state law if, as of the date hereof, Seller or any ERISA Affiliate of
Seller were to terminate its participation in such MEWA.

with respect to any Employee Plan after the Effective Time.

provided, however, that prior to the
51
receipt of Shareholder Approval, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Seller from

connection with an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal by such Person, if and to the extent
that (1) Seller’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside
legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, and
Seller’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal
counsel), in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, that to do otherwise would be in violation of

engaging in negotiations or discussions with, such Person, Seller’s Board of Directors receives
from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement with terms no more favorable to such party
than those applicable to CAI set forth in the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement dated
June 27, 2007, to which CAI and Seller are bound, and (3) Seller gives Buyer three (3) Business
Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action. Seller shall notify Buyer of any

Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its
financial advisors), in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, that (x) the Acquisition Proposal
constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (y) to do otherwise would be in violation of its fiduciary
duty to the shareholders of Seller, after giving three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to
Buyer, which notice will include any written Acquisition Proposals and specify the material terms
thereof and the identity of the party making such proposal, Seller’s Board of Directors may (A)
withhold, withdraw, amend, change or modify its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and
the Contemplated Transactions to the shareholders of Seller or (B) enter into a definitive
agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, and shall, in the case of (B), terminate this

enable Seller to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby on such adjusted terms. Seller

Proposal and of any amendments or proposed amendments to any of the material terms of any
Acquisition Proposal.

inducement for each party to enter into this Agreement and the absence of such provision would have
resulted in either (i) a material reduction in the Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer pursuant to
this Agreement; (ii) a failure to induce CAI and Buyer to enter into this Agreement; or (iii) a
failure to induce Seller to enter into this Agreement.

incurred by Buyer in connection with any Excluded Assets not removed by Seller on or before the
Closing Date.
10.6 Tax Returns. Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to
be filed all Tax Returns of the Targeted Subsidiaries that are due on or before the Closing Date,

to the Elections as provided in Section 5.12. For all taxable periods ending on or before the
Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Targeted Subsidiaries to join in Seller’s timely filed
consolidated federal income Tax Return and Seller’s timely filed unitary or combined state income
Tax Returns, as applicable, or, in jurisdictions requiring separate reporting from Seller, to file
separate Returns with respect to the Targeted Subsidiaries provided that Seller shall reimburse
Buyer for any and all expenses incurred in connection with Tax Returns and shall indemnify and hold
harmless Buyer and each Targeted Subsidiaries for any Taxes due thereunder. Seller shall include
the income of the Seller Subsidiaries on Seller’s consolidated federal income Tax Returns and
applicable state or local income Tax Returns for all periods through the Closing Date and shall pay
all federal, state and local income Taxes attributable to such income, including any Taxes
attributable to the Elections as provided in Section 5.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer

this Agreement) which are effective on or before the Closing Date.
(a) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns
of the Targeted Subsidiaries that are due after the Closing Date (other than Tax Returns described
in Section 10.2(a), above), and Buyer shall cause the Targeted Subsidiaries to pay all Taxes with
respect to such periods provided, however, that Seller shall pay any Taxes attributable to the
Elections as provided in Section 5.11. Buyer shall permit Seller to have a reasonably appropriate
period of time prior to filing in order to review and comment on each Tax Return of a Targeted
Subsidiary for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date
(“Straddle Tax Returns”). Any portion of any Tax that must be paid in connection with the
filing of a Straddle Tax Return, to the extent attributable to any period or portion of a period
ending on or before the Closing Date, including any Taxes attributable to the Elections as provided
in Section 5.11, shall be referred to herein as “Pre-Closing Taxes.” Where the Pre-Closing Taxes
involve a period which begins before and ends after the Closing Date, such
Pre-Closing Taxes shall be calculated as though the taxable year of the Company terminated as
of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the case of a Tax
not based on income, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items, Pre-Closing Taxes shall be equal
to the amount of Tax for the taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of days from the beginning of the taxable period through the Closing Date and the
denominator of which shall be the number of days in the taxable period (provided, however, that the
term “Pre-Closing Taxes” shall not include any increase in such Taxes that is caused by the
transactions described in this Agreement). All Straddle Tax Returns shall be prepared, and all
determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made, in a manner
consistent with prior practice of the relevant Targeted Subsidiary. Seller shall be responsible for
the amount of any Pre-Closing Taxes due with any Straddle Tax Returns including any Taxes
attributable to the Elections as provided in Section 5.11.
(b) After the Closing Date, neither Seller, Buyer nor any of the Targeted Subsidiaries shall
amend, modify or otherwise change any Tax Returns of the Targeted Subsidiaries filed prior to the
Closing Date without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld.
64
(c) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees
(including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by
Seller when due, and Seller shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other
documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and
other Taxes and fees; and if required by applicable law, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Targeted
Subsidiaries to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documents, provided that
such Tax Returns or other documents, as applicable, are satisfactory to Buyer.
(d) Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt by Buyer or any affiliate of
Buyer (including the Targeted Subsidiaries) of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state,
local or foreign income or franchise Tax audits or assessments that may affect the Tax Liabilities
of the Targeted Subsidiaries and for which Seller could be liable under this Agreement.
(e) Any refunds or credits of federal, state, local or foreign income and franchise Taxes
(including any interest thereon) received by or credited to the Targeted Subsidiaries with respect
to or attributable to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or to such portions of
Straddle Periods ending at the close of business on the Closing Date (collectively, “Seller’s
Refunds”), shall be for the benefit of Seller, and Buyer shall cause the Targeted Subsidiaries
to pay over to Seller any Seller’s Refunds promptly upon receipt thereof. In addition, if the
Pre-Closing Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period of the Targeted Subsidiaries are less than the
payments previously made by or credited to the Targeted Subsidiaries with respect to such Straddle
Period, Buyer shall cause the Targeted Subsidiaries to pay to Seller the excess of such previous
payments over such Pre-Closing Taxes promptly upon the Targeted Subsidiaries receiving the benefit
of such excess payments through a reduction in any Tax payment that otherwise would be required to
be made by the Targeted Subsidiaries after the Closing.
(f) After the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall make available to the other, as reasonably
requested, and to any taxing authority (which such authority is legally permitted to receive
pursuant to its subpoena power or its equivalent) all information, records or documents relating to
Tax Liabilities of the Targeted Subsidiaries for all periods prior to or including the Closing Date
and shall preserve all such information, records and documents until the expiration of any
applicable statute of limitations for assessment or refund of Taxes or extensions thereof.

the contest or defense of, and make available its personnel and provide any testimony and access to
its books and Records in connection with, any Proceeding involving or relating to (a) any
Contemplated Transaction or (b) any action, activity, circumstance, condition, conduct, event,
fact, failure to act, incident, occurrence, plan, practice, situation, status or transaction on or
before the Closing Date involving Seller or the Business.

invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to
reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or
phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that
is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or
unenforceable term or provision. This Section 10.8 will be enforceable as so modified after the
expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 10.8 is reasonable
and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the value of the
Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Seller.
10.9 Customer and Other Business Relationships. After the Closing, Seller will
cooperate with Buyer in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those
business relationships of Seller existing prior to the Closing and relating to the business to be
operated by Buyer after the Closing, including relationships with lessors, employees, regulatory
authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others, and Seller will satisfy the Retained
Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. Seller will refer to
Buyer all inquiries relating to such business. Neither Seller nor any of its officers, employees,
agents or shareholders shall take any action that would tend to diminish the value of the Assets
after the Closing or that would interfere with the business of Buyer to be engaged in after the
Closing, including disparaging the name or business of Buyer.
10.10 Retention of and Access to Records. After the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller
each shall retain for a period consistent with Buyer’s record-retention policies and practices all
Records relating to
66
the Business. Buyer also shall provide Seller and its Representatives reasonable access thereto,
during normal business hours and on at least three (3) days prior written notice, to enable them to
prepare financial statements or Tax returns or deal with Tax audits. After the Closing Date, Seller
shall provide Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to Records that are Excluded Assets
or otherwise affect the Business, during normal business hours and on at least three (3) days prior
written notice, for any reasonable business purpose specified by Buyer in such notice and shall
assist Buyer in transferring such Records as directed by Buyer.
10.11 Further Assurances. Subject to the proviso in Section 6.1 (Required Approvals),
the parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other and with their respective Representatives in
connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this
Agreement, and shall (a) furnish upon request to each other such further information, (b) execute
and deliver to each other such other documents, and (c) do such other acts and things, all as the
other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and
the Contemplated Transactions.

INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this
Agreement, the Schedules, any supplements to any Schedule, the certificates, agreements and other
documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.4 and any other certificate or document delivered
pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the Contemplated
Transactions, subject to Sections 11.4 and 11.5. The right to indemnification, reimbursement or
other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall not be
affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment)
conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time,
whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with
respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty,
covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation
or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not
affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations,
warranties, covenants and obligations.
11.2 Indemnification and Reimbursement by Seller. Seller will indemnify and hold
harmless Buyer, and its Representatives, shareholders, subsidiaries and Related Persons
(collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”), and will reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Persons
for any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense (including, without limitation, interest,
penalties, costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) or
diminution of value, whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim (collectively, “Damages”),
arising from or in connection with:
(a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in (i) this Agreement (without
giving effect to any supplement to any Schedule delivered by Seller), (ii) any Schedule delivered
by Seller, (iii) any supplement to the Schedules delivered by Seller, (iv) the certificates,
agreements and other documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.4 (for this purpose, each such
certificate, agreement or other document will be deemed to have stated that Seller’s
representations and warranties in this Agreement fulfill the requirements of Section 7.1 as of the
Closing Date as if made on the Closing Date without giving effect to any supplement to the
Schedules delivered by Seller, unless the certificate expressly states that the matters disclosed
in a supplement have caused a condition specified in Section 7.1 not to be satisfied), (v) any
transfer instrument or (vi) any other certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by
Seller pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent there is a breach of
Section 3.11 due to a failure to collect Accounts Receivable, the Buyer Indemnified Persons shall
be deemed not to have suffered Damages to the extent
67
that such uncollected Accounts Receivable were omitted from accounts receivable for purposes of the
calculation of the definitive Final Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.6, it being the
intent of the parties that Buyer not be compensated twice for such uncollected Accounts Receivable;
(b) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller in this Agreement or in any other
certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;
(c) any Liability arising out of the ownership or operation of the Assets prior to the
Effective Time other than Liabilities specifically included in the determination of Final Net
Working Capital;
(d) any brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement
or understanding made, or alleged to have been made, by any Person with Seller (or any Person
acting on its behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions;
(e) any Liabilities relating to services provided by Seller or any Seller Subsidiary, in whole
or in part, prior to the Closing Date, other than as specifically included in Final Net Working
Capital;
(f) any noncompliance with any fraudulent transfer law in respect of the Contemplated
Transactions;
(g) any Liability under the WARN Act or any similar state or local Legal Requirement that may
result from an “Employment Loss;” as defined by 29 U.S.C. § 2101(a)(6), caused by any action of
Seller prior to the Closing or by Buyer’s decision not to hire previous employees of Seller;
(h) any Employee Plan established or maintained by Seller;
(i)
any Retained Liabilities;
(j) any matter related to Tax;
(k) any
matter related to a Network Affiliate Audit; and
(l) any matter related to improper access to networks and provider contracts; and
(m) Seller’s obligation, if any, pursuant to Section 2.6.
11.3 Indemnification and Reimbursement by Buyer. Buyer will indemnify and hold
harmless Seller, and will reimburse Seller, for any Damages arising from or in connection with:
(a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any
certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;
(b) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement or in any other
certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and
(c) any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments
based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by such Person with Buyer (or
any Person acting on Buyer’s behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.
68
11.4 Limitations on Amount.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Buyer
Indemnified Persons in respect of any Damages suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons unless the
aggregate of all Damages suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons exceeds an amount equal to
$175,000 (the “Basket”), in which case, all Damages shall be recoverable pursuant to this
Article XI; provided, however, that all Damages suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons relating
to Xxxxxxx 00.0(x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x) and (m) shall be recoverable
notwithstanding the amount of the Basket.
(b) The aggregate Liability of Seller for Damages for claims under this Article XI shall be
limited to the Escrow Fund, other than for Damages related to (A) fraud by Seller or its Related
Persons or (B) Damages suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons relating to Xxxxxxx 00.0(x), (x),
(x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x) and (m).
(c) When determining Damages of the Buyer, whether (i) the representations and warranties of
Seller is true and correct in any respect, (ii) Seller has performed any of their covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement, or (iii) a Breach or other matter causing Damages set forth
in Section 11.2 has occurred, such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and
obligations shall be deemed not to include any qualification or limitation with respect to
materiality (whether by reference to “Material Adverse Change,” “material adverse effect” or words
of similar import).
11.5 Time Limitations.
(a) If the Closing occurs, Seller will have Liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with
respect to any Breach of (i) a covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with prior to the
Closing Date and Articles X and XII, as to which a claim may be made at any time, or (ii) a
representation or warranty (other than those in Sections 3.9, 3.14, 3.16, 3.29, 3.31 and 3.32 as to
which a claim may be made at any time), only if on or before the first anniversary of the Closing
Date, Buyer notifies Seller of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable
detail to the extent then known by Buyer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.5 is
intended to limit Buyer and CAI’s right to make any claim against Seller for fraud or intentional
misrepresentation.
11.6 Third-Party Claims.
(a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 11.2 and 11.3 (an
“Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such
Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an
“Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any Liability
that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person
demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s
failure to give such notice.
(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section
11.6(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to
participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i)
the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the
Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be
inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the
Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide
indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party
Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice
69
from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of
such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such
defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article XI for any fees of other counsel or
any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently
incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other
than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a
Third-Party Claim, (i) such assumption will establish conclusively for purposes of this Agreement
that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to
indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by
the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s Consent unless (A) there is no finding or
admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person, (B)
the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person, and
(C) the Indemnified Person shall have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of
such Third-Party Claims effected without its Consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person
of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10)
days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its
election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by
any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the
Indemnified Person.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that
there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Related
Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying
Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the
Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for
the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its Consent (which
may not be unreasonably withheld).
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.4, Seller hereby consents to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought
against any Buyer Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that a Buyer Indemnified Person may
have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree
that process may be served on Seller with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.
(e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article XI:
(i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the
other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at
all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel; and (ii) the parties
agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may
reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to
ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.
(f) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article XI,
the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the
confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product
privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use its commercially
reasonable best effort, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated
in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and
rules of procedure); and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible
for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made
so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.
70
11.7 Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party
Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought and shall be paid
promptly after such notice.
11.8 Indemnification in Case of Strict Liability or Indemnitee Negligence. THE
INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS ARTICLE XI SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE
LIABILITY IS BASED UPON PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE ACTS, CLAIMS OR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING ANY
PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE BULK SALES LAW, ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, FRAUDULENT TRANSFER ACT, OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH LAW OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY, SECURITIES OR OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENT) AND REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE PERSON FROM WHOM INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT) ALLEGES OR PROVES
THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION
OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED UPON THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION.
ARTICLE XII

the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market, any public announcement, press release or similar publicity

12.4 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any Proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction may be brought in the courts of the State of
Georgia, County of Xxxxxx, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Proceeding, waives any objection it may now
or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the
Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court and agrees not to bring any
Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction in any
other court. The parties agree that either or both of them may file a copy of this paragraph with
any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the parties
irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to convenience of forum. Process in any Proceeding
referred to in the first sentence of this section may be served on any party anywhere in the world.
12.5 Enforcement of Agreement. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer would be
irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with
their specific terms and that any Breach of this Agreement by Seller could not be adequately
compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or
remedy to which Buyer may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any
provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of any of the provisions of
this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.
12.6 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties to this
Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to
in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise
of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or
any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in
part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other
party, (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific
instance for which it is given, and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a
waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to
take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents
referred to in this Agreement.
12.7 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter
(including any letter of intent and any confidentiality agreement between Buyer and Seller) and
constitutes (along with the Schedules, Exhibits and other documents delivered pursuant to this
Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties
with respect to its subject matter. This
73
Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by a written agreement
executed by the party to be charged with the amendment.
12.8 Schedules.
(a) The information in the Schedules delivered by Seller constitutes (i) exceptions to
particular representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Seller as set forth in this
Agreement or (ii) descriptions or lists of assets and liabilities and other items referred to in
this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the statements in this Agreement and those in
the Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Schedules with respect to
a specifically identified representation or warranty), the statements in this Agreement will
control.
(b) The statements in the Schedules, and those in any supplement thereto, relate only to the
provisions in the Section of this Agreement to which they expressly relate and not to any other
provision in this Agreement.
12.9 Assignments, Successors and No Third-Party Rights. No party may assign any of
its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the other parties, except that Buyer may assign any of its rights and delegate any of
its obligations under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Buyer and may collaterally assign its
rights hereunder to any financial institution providing financing in connection with the
Contemplated Transactions. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be
binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of
the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any
Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall
inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 12.9.
12.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only
in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or
unenforceable.
12.11 Construction. The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are
provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All
references to “Articles” and “Sections” refer to the corresponding Articles and Sections of this
Agreement.
12.12 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred
to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
12.13 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws
of the State of Georgia without regard to conflicts-of-laws principles that would require the
application of any other law.
12.14 Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of
which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange
of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission shall constitute
effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the
original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile shall be
deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.
