Notwithstanding the foregoing, Assumed Current Liabilities shall not include obligations of the Company pursuant to severance arrangement employment agreements set forth on Schedule 3.1(c) hereto. In addition, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upwards or downwards on the Closing Date with respect to the calculation of the items set forth on Schedule 3.1(d) for the periods specified therein (the “Effective Date Adjustments”). The amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(i) shall be reduced by the amount necessary (which amounts shall be paid directly by Buyer) to repay all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and capital lease obligations of the Company on the Closing Date, including any unpaid interest, fees, prepayment penalties and expenses thereon, and remove all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) in respect of any property or assets of the Company. The Purchase Price (less the Escrow Fund and other deductions pursuant to this Section 3.1) shall be paid to Sellers and the Option Holders as set forth on Schedule A and Schedule B hereto.

3.2 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) As of the Effective Date, the Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount by which the Assumed Current Liabilities is greater or less than $2,500,000 (the “Liabilities Target”) in accordance with Section 3.2(b). In addition, at Closing, the Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased by the aggregate amount of the Effective Date Adjustments based upon the estimate of such items included in the Initial Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(i) (the “Estimated Effective Date Adjustments Payment”).

(b) The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, if any, as specified in this Section 3.2(b).

(i) At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Representative shall deliver to Buyer a statement of Assumed Current Liabilities as of the Effective Date and a statement of the Sellers’ good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of the Effective Date Adjustments (the “Initial Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement”). The Initial Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement shall be prepared in conformity with the definition of Assumed Current Liabilities and in accordance with the calculations set forth on Schedule 3.1(a) and Schedule 3.1(c).

(ii) As soon as practicable following the Closing, with the assistance of the Company’s accountants, Buyer shall prepare a statement of Assumed Current Liabilities as of the Effective Date and Buyer’s calculation of the Effective Date Adjustments (the “Second

Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement”). The Second Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement shall be prepared in conformity with the definition of Assumed Current Liabilities and in accordance with the calculations set forth on Schedule 3.1(a) and Schedule 3.1(c). Buyer shall deliver the Second Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement to the Representative not later than 60 calendar days following the Closing Date.

(iii) The Second Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and shall be deemed to be the Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement, (as defined below) unless, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the Second Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement from Buyer, the Representative shall provide to Buyer a report indicating its objections to the Second Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement. Any such objections shall be set forth in reasonable detail in a report (the “Representative’s Report”) that shall indicate the grounds upon which the Representative disputes that the Second Draft Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Buyer shall provide to the Representative reasonable access (at such time as reasonably agreed to by Buyer and the Representative), during normal business hours, to the books and records of the Company and to the Company’s personnel and accountants in connection with the Representative’s preparation of the Representative’s Report, provided that the Representative shall not interfere with the Business in the exercise of such right.

(iv) Within 15 calendar days after the receipt by Buyer of the Representative’s Report, the Representative and Buyer shall endeavor in good faith to agree on any matters in dispute.

(v) If Buyer and the Representative are unable to agree on any matters in dispute within 15 calendar days after receipt by Buyer of the Representative’s Report, the matters in dispute will be submitted for resolution to the office of PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP located in Philadelphia, PA or such other independent accounting firm of national reputation as may be mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Representative (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which Independent Accounting Firm shall, within 30 calendar days after such submission, determine and issue a written report to the Representative and Buyer regarding, such disputed items, which written report shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Representative and Buyer shall cooperate with each other and each other’s representatives to enable the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written report as promptly as possible. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, with one Party reimbursing the other, if necessary, following such determination. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators.

(vi) The statement of Assumed Current Liabilities and Effective Date Adjustments incorporating the resolution of matters in dispute with respect to Assumed Current Liabilities and Effective Date Adjustments (or, if a Representative’s Report is not provided within the time prescribed in Section 3.2(b)(iii), the Second Draft Assumed Liabilities Closing Statement) is referred to as the “Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement.” The Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement shall have the legal effect of an arbitral award and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties.

(vii) If the Assumed Current Liabilities calculated by reference to the Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement (the “Final Assumed Current Liabilities”) are less than the Liabilities Target, the Purchase Price shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to such shortfall (the “Assumed Liabilities Shortfall”). In such event, Buyer shall pay to the Representative for distribution to Sellers (based upon their respective Pro Rata Share) the amount of the Assumed Liabilities Shortfall. If the Final Assumed Current Liabilities are greater than the Liabilities Target, the Purchase Price shall be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to such surplus (the “Assumed Liabilities Surplus”). In such event, Sellers shall pay to Buyer the amount of the Assumed Liabilities Surplus.

(viii) If the aggregate amount of the Effective Date Adjustments, as reflected on the Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement is greater than the Estimated Effective Date Adjustments Payment, Buyer shall pay such additional amount to the Representative for distribution to Sellers (based upon their respective Pro Rata Share). If the aggregate amount of the Effective Date Adjustments, as reflected on the Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement is less than the Estimated Effective Date Adjustments Payment, Sellers shall pay to Buyer such shortfall.

(ix) Any payment to be made by Sellers pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(vii) or (viii) shall be paid by Sellers in cash within ten calendar days after the date of receipt by Buyer and the Representative of the Assumed Liabilities Closing Statement as finally established pursuant to this Section 3.2. Any payment to be made by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(vii) or (viii) shall be paid in cash within ten calendar days after the date of receipt by Buyer and the Representative of the Assumed Liabilities and Adjustments Closing Statement as finally established pursuant to this Section 3.2. If applicable, all payments shall be made to the Representative for distribution to Sellers on a pro rata basis in accordance with Schedule A.

(b) By Buyer. Following the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers at all times from and after the Closing Date against and in respect of Losses arising from or relating to: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement (without regard to any materiality qualification contained in any such representation or warranty); (ii) any breach of any covenant and agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement (without regard to any materiality qualification contained in any such covenant or agreement); and (iii) any Tax liability related to any item, event or transaction occurring on or after the Effective Date or relating to the contractual agreement between Sellers and Buyer to treat the Effective Date as the date for filing of the Company’s stub Tax Return in accordance with Section 7.5.

9.2 Limitations of Indemnity.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no amounts shall be payable under Section 9.1(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount otherwise payable in the absence of this clause exceeds $150,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Sellers shall be liable for all amounts (including such $150,000) payable under Section 9.1(a)(i); and (ii) no claim for indemnification under Section 9.1(a)(i) shall first be asserted after the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that a claim for indemnification under Section 4.3 (Authorization; Binding Obligations), Section 4.7(c) and Section 5.2 (Title to Stock), and Section 4.14 (Taxes) may be asserted at any time; provided further, that a claim for indemnification under Section 4.13 (Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA), Section 4.23 (Intellectual Property), Section 4.22 (Environmental Matters) and Section 4.34 (Compliance with Laws) may be asserted at any time prior to the three-year anniversary of the Closing Date; and provided, further, that a claim for indemnification under Section 4.17 (Federal Health Care Program and Third-Party Payor Participation), Section 4.18 (Health Care Regulatory Litigation), Section 4.19 (Compliance with Health Care Laws) may be asserted at any time prior to the four-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) Tax Benefit.

(i) Reimbursement of Tax Benefits. If during the three-year period following the Closing Date (the “Tax Benefits Period”), but in no event beyond such Tax Benefits Period, Buyer is indemnified by Sellers pursuant to this Article IX for any Losses related to any period prior to the Effective Date, which Losses give rise to a Tax Benefit to Buyer or the Company, Buyer shall pay to the applicable Seller or Sellers who paid the amount of such Losses to Buyer or the Company (in proportion to the amount of such Losses actually paid by such Sellers) the Reimbursement Amount within 90 days after the Company’s filing of the Tax Return for each year during the Tax Benefits Period in which any Tax Benefit is realized.

Tax Benefit is realized.

If the Representative does not object to Buyer’s calculation within 30 days after written receipt of the calculation, then the calculation shall be presumed to be correct for all purposes. If the parties cannot agree on the amount, the dispute shall be resolved by written decision of the Independent Accounting Firm. Buyer, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, shall bear the fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with their relative merits in the dispute (based upon the amount resolved in each Party’s favor relative to the total amount in dispute); provided, that until such determination is made, the fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand (in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares), with one party reimbursing the other, if necessary, following such determination.

(c) Insurance Benefit. If Buyer is indemnified by Sellers pursuant to this Article IX for any Losses, and Buyer receives any amounts under its insurance policies with respect to such claims, to the extent that the total amount received from Sellers plus the total amount received by Buyer under its insurance policies is greater than the amount of such claim, Buyer shall pay to the Representative (for distribution to Sellers based upon their respective Pro Rata Share) one-half of such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.2(c) shall be deemed to require Buyer to maintain any insurance policies, provided, that, to the extent that Buyer has any insurance covering such claim, Buyer agrees to timely make and prosecute in good faith a claim against such policy, expending the same efforts that Buyer would be reasonably expected to expend if the recovery under such policy was to the sole benefit of Buyer.

9.3 Indemnification Procedures—Third-Party Claims.

(a) The rights and obligations of a party claiming a right of indemnification hereunder (each an “Indemnitee”) from a Party to this Agreement (each an “Indemnitor”) in any way relating to a Third-Party Claim shall be governed by the following provisions of this Section 9.3:

(i) The Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnitor of the commencement of any claim, action suit or proceeding, or any threat thereof, or any state of facts which Indemnitee determines will give rise to a claim by the Indemnitee against the Indemnitor based on the indemnity agreements contained in this Agreement setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature and basis of the claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, and any other relevant information in the possession of the Indemnitee (a “Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim shall be accompanied by any relevant documents in the possession of the Indemnitee relating to the claim (such as copies of any summons, complaint or pleading which may have been served and, or any written demand or document evidencing the same). No failure to give a Notice of Claim shall affect, limit or reduce the indemnification obligations of an Indemnitor hereunder, except to the extent such failure actually prejudices such Indemnitor’s ability successfully to defend the claim, action, suit or proceeding giving rise to the indemnification claim.

(ii) In the event that an Indemnitee furnishes an Indemnitor with a Notice of Claim, then, upon the written acknowledgment by the Indemnitor given to the Indemnitee within 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Claim, stating that the Indemnitor is undertaking and will prosecute the defense of the claim under such indemnity agreements and confirming that based on the information available as between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, the claim covered by the Notice of Claim is subject to this Article IX and that the Indemnitor will be able to pay the full amount of potential liability in connection with any such claim (including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding and all proceedings on appeal or other review which counsel for the Indemnitee may reasonably consider appropriate) (an “Indemnification Acknowledgment”), then the claim covered by the Notice of Claim may be defended by the Indemnitor, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee is authorized to file any motion, answer or other pleading that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect its interests during such 30-day period. The delivery of an Indemnification Acknowledgment shall not preclude Indemnitor’s subsequent right to deny indemnification and Indemnitor’s right to reimbursement of all costs of any nature incurred, if it is ultimately determined that such claim was not indemnifiable by Indemnitor. However, in the event the Indemnitor does not furnish an Indemnification Acknowledgment to the Indemnitee or does not offer reasonable assurances to the Indemnitee as to Indemnitor’s financial capacity to satisfy any final judgment or settlement, the Indemnitee may, upon written notice to the Indemnitor, assume the defense (with legal counsel chosen by the Indemnitee) and dispose of the claim, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding receipt of an Indemnification Acknowledgment, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in respect of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnitee’s own cost and expense, unless (A) the employment of such counsel and the payment of such fees and expenses shall have been specifically authorized by the Indemnitor in connection with the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or (B) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded based upon a written opinion of counsel that there may be specific material defenses available to the Indemnitee which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor, in which case the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee for such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitor, provided that Indemnitor shall not be obligated to pay for the costs and expenses of more than one counsel to the Indemnitee.

(iii) The Indemnitee or the Indemnitor, as the case may be, who is controlling the defense of the claim, action, suit or proceeding, shall keep the other party fully informed of such claim, action, suit or proceeding at all stages thereof, whether or not such party is represented by counsel. The Parties hereto agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding. Subject to the Indemnitor furnishing the Indemnitee with an Indemnification Acknowledgment in accordance with Section 9.3(a)(ii), the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor and provide such assistance, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, as the Indemnitor may reasonably request in connection with the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, including, but not limited to, providing the Indemnitor with access to and use of all relevant corporate records and making available its officers and employees for depositions, pre-trial discovery and as witnesses at trial, if required. In requesting

any such cooperation, the Indemnitor shall have due regard for, and attempt not to be disruptive of, the business and day-to-day operations of the Indemnitee and shall follow the requests of the Indemnitee regarding any documents or instruments which the Indemnitee believes should be given confidential treatment.

(b) Neither Party shall make or enter into any settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding which one Party has undertaken to defend, without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless there is no obligation, directly or indirectly, on the part of such other Party to contribute to any portion of the payment for any of the Losses, such other Party receives a general and unconditional release with respect to the claim (in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to such other Party), there is no finding or admission of any violation of law by, or effect on any other claim that may be made against such other Party and, in the reasonable judgment of such other Party, the relief granted in connection therewith is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on such other Party or its reputation or prospects.

(c) Any claim for indemnification that may be made under more than one subsection under Section 9.1 may be made under the subsection that the claiming party may elect in its sole discretion, notwithstanding that such claim may be made under more than one subsection.

9.4 Indemnification Procedures—Other Claims, Indemnification Generally.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not relating to a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by giving reasonable notice directly by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall afford the Indemnitor reasonable access to all relevant corporate records and other information in its possession relating thereto.

(b) If any party becomes obligated to indemnify another party with respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder and the amount of liability with respect thereto shall have been finally determined in accordance with this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall pay such amount to the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds within ten days following written demand therefor by the Indemnified Party. The indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay any amount under this Article IX until such final determination.

9.5 Exclusive Remedy. The provisions for indemnification set forth in this Article IX are the exclusive remedies of Sellers, Buyer and the Company arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and shall be in lieu of any rights under contract, tort, equity or otherwise (other than claims based on actual fraud).

Except as provided in Article IX, each Company and each Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall bear all of their own expenses in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation all fees and expenses of its agents, representatives, counsel and accountants.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, together with all Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules hereto and the other Transaction Documents, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by Buyer and the Representative. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. Neither the failure nor the delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of any 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 waiver that may be given by a Party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it was given and (b) no notice to or demand on one Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such Party or 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 other Transaction Documents.

10.5 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications which are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if transmitted by telecopier with receipt acknowledged by the recipient, or upon delivery, if delivered personally or by recognized commercial courier with receipt acknowledged, or upon receipt, if mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

10.6 Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended and the terms hereof may be waived only by a written instrument signed by the Parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party waiving compliance.

10.7 Governing Law. IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS

MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

10.8 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENT AND AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS, SUITS OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN XXX XXXX XX XXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXX, XXXXX OF DELAWARE, WHICH COURTS SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES AND DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.8 SHALL PRECLUDE BUYER FROM BRINGING ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER LOCATION WHERE THE COMPANY OR SELLERS OR ANY ONE OF THEM OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR ASSETS OR THE COLLATERAL MAY BE FOUND OR LOCATED OR TO ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF BUYER.

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND EACH SELLER, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, (A) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PERSON MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION OR IMPROPER VENUE AND (C) CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.5 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR FIVE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY SUCH JURISDICTION, EACH OF THE COMPANY AND EACH SELLER HEREBY WAIVES, IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING, THE JURISDICTION OF ANY OTHER COURT OR COURTS THAT NOW OR HEREAFTER, BY REASON OF SUCH PARTY’S PRESENT OR FUTURE DOMICILE, OR OTHERWISE, MAY BE AVAILABLE TO IT.

10.9 Waiver of Trial by Jury. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND

PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, AND UNDERSTANDING THEY ARE WAIVING A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO (a) THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE AMENDMENT HEREOF, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR (b) ANY CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION OF THE PARTIES OR THEIR AFFILIATES (OR ANY OF THEM) WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE AMENDMENT HEREOF, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING SHALL BE DECIDED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.

10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (delivery of which may occur via facsimile), each of which shall be binding as of the date first written above, and, when delivered, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile signature or electronically scanned copy of a signature shall constitute and shall be deemed to be sufficient evidence of a Party’s execution of this Agreement, without necessity of further proof. Each such copy shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

10.11 Invalidity. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law in any particular respect or under any particular circumstances, then, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party, (a) such term or provision shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other respects and under all other circumstances, and (b) all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

10.12 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Eureka is hereby appointed as the representative of Sellers under this Agreement (the “Representative”), and shall act as exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on

behalf of any Seller with respect to any and all matters, claims, controversies, or disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement. In the event of resignation of Eureka as the Representative, a successor may be appointed by Sellers in respect of whom a majority of the monies held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement has been deposited.

(b) The Representative shall have the power and is hereby is appointed as the agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for Sellers to take any and all actions which the Representative believes are necessary or appropriate or in the best interests of Sellers, as fully as if each such Seller was acting on its, his or her own behalf with respect to all matters concerning Sellers or any of them following the Closing Date, including with respect to (i) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the endorsement and delivery of any certificate or instrument representing the Stock and the execution of such further instruments of assignment as Buyer shall reasonably request, (iii) the disbursement of any funds received hereunder to Sellers, (iv) all claims for indemnification under this Agreement, including providing an Indemnification Acknowledgement or declining to provide the same, (v) the resolution of all matters related to the Final Assumed Current Liabilities pursuant to Section 3.2, (vi) the grant of waivers under this Agreement, (vii) the payment of expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (viii) the exercise of each and every right which Sellers as stockholders or otherwise are entitled to in connection with this Agreement, and (ix) any action which may be taken by Sellers in connection herewith, and the Representative may take any action or no action in connection therewith as the Representative may deem appropriate as effectively as any Seller could act themselves, including the settlement or compromise of any dispute or controversy. Further, the Representative is hereby authorized to execute amendments to this Agreement, on behalf of all Sellers, including for purposes of extending the time performance or the time of expiration of any rights of Buyer hereunder. The Representative shall notify Sellers with respect to any such action taken on behalf of Sellers. The authority granted hereunder is deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of each Seller. Buyer shall have the right to rely on any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative as being the act or omission of any Seller, without the need for any inquiry, and any such actions or omissions shall be binding upon each Seller. The Representative shall incur no Liability, or expense as a result of any action taken in good faith hereunder, including any legal fees and expenses.

(c) Neither the Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any Person in connection with the performance of the Representative’s duties under this Agreement or any act or omission related thereto. Each Seller agrees that it shall promptly reimburse the Representative for its Pro Rata Share of any fees or expenses incurred by the Representative and its agents in connection with this Agreement and the exercise of the authorities granted to the Representative hereunder. To the extent that any amounts remain due and owing to the Representative at such time when the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, is being released to as set forth in the Escrow Agreement, then such amounts shall be paid to the Representative and its agents prior to the distribution of any portion of the Escrow Fund to Sellers. Each Seller agrees that Wolf, Block, Xxxxxx and Xxxxx-Xxxxx LLP has acted as counsel to the Company and the Representative and its Affiliates, and to no other Person, in connection with this Agreement. The parties agree that the fact that Wolf, Block, Xxxxxx and Xxxxx-Xxxxx LLP has represented the Company shall not prevent Wolf, Block, Xxxxxx and Xxxxx-Xxxxx LLP from representing the Representative (or its Affiliates) in connection with any matter involving this Agreement, including any disputes between any of the parties hereto that may arise after the Closing.

10.13 Negotiated Agreement. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the terms and language of this Agreement were the result of negotiations among the Parties and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against any particular Party. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.

10.14 Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. In addition, it is the intent of the parties that the Indemnitees that are not a party hereto be third party beneficiaries of Article IX of this Agreement. None of the Company or any Seller may assign, transfer or delegate any of their rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein or therein, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided, that Buyer may assign its rights (a) as security to any lender providing financing for the transactions contemplated hereby (and any replacement thereof), and (b) in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the Business.

10.15 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future applicable Laws during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, and the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in fill force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

10.16 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, each Party will timely execute and deliver to the other such instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery, and such consents, assurances, powers of attorney and other instruments, as may be reasonably requested by such Party or its counsel in order to vest in Buyer all right, title and interest of Sellers in and to the Securities and otherwise in order to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

10.17 Release. Each Seller, for itself and its Affiliates, heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasors”), hereby forever fully and irrevocably releases and discharges Buyer and the Company and their respective predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, affiliated entities and past and present stockholders, members (direct and indirect), managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, debts, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, covenants, Contracts, controversies, promises, judgments, Liabilities or obligations of any kind whatsoever in law or equity and causes of action of every kind and nature, or otherwise (including, claims for damages, costs, expenses, and attorneys’, brokers’ and accountants’ fees and expenses) which the Releasors can, shall or may have against the Released Parties, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, unanticipated as well as

anticipated and that now exist or may hereafter accrue based on matters now unknown as well as known (collectively, the “Released Claims”), provided that Released Claims shall not include (i) claims arising out of this Agreement, or (ii) with respect to any Seller who is an employee of the Company, claims for unpaid wages and benefits (and the reimbursement of valid business expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business) earned for any pay period that straddles the Closing Date. The Releasors hereby irrevocably agree to refrain from directly or indirectly asserting any claim or demand or commencing (or causing to be commenced) any suit, action, or proceeding of any kind, in any court or before any tribunal, against any Released Party based upon any Released Claim. This release shall be effective as of the consummation of the Closing.
