prepared in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and practices and in accordance with
GAAP of the estimated Net Working Capital of the Company on the Closing Date (the “Estimated

2.4 Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) Closing Balance Sheet and Purchaser’s Statement. No later than sixty (60) days
following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a balance sheet
as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a
statement of the Net Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date
(“Purchaser’s Statement”), which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently
applied and consistent with the methodologies and principles used in the preparation of the Audited
Financial Statements, together with reasonable backup documentation to support the line
-11-
items included therein. The Sellers shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the receipt
of Purchaser’s Statement (the “Review Period”) to review the Purchaser’s Statement. During
the Review Period, the Purchaser shall cause its employees and accountants who were involved in the
preparation of the Purchaser’s Statement to provide promptly to Sellers and their employees and
accountants full access to the financial books and records used in the preparation of the
Purchaser’s Statement including all working papers of Purchaser and its accountants, including
without limitation, all back-up documentation to support the line items included in the Closing

disagreement (a “Dispute Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Review Period, specifying
in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such disagreement and including the Sellers’
determination of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date. If the Sellers agree with
Purchaser’s Statement, the Sellers shall deliver a written statement to the Purchaser within the
Review Period accepting Purchaser’s Statement (an “Acceptance Notice”), in which case
Purchaser’s Statement shall be final and binding, effective as of the date on which the Purchaser

Notice within the Review Period, then Purchaser’s Statement shall be final and binding, effective
as of the first business day after the expiration of the Review Period.
(b) Resolution of Disputes. If the Sellers deliver a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser
in a timely manner, then the Purchaser and the Sellers shall attempt in good faith to resolve such
dispute within fifteen (15) days from the date of the Dispute Notice (or such longer period as the
parties may mutually agree). If the Purchaser and the Sellers cannot reach agreement within such
fifteen (15) day period (or such longer period as they may mutually agree), then the Purchaser and
the Sellers shall promptly refer the specific items in dispute to McGladrey & Xxxxxx, LLP (the
“Independent Auditor”) for binding resolution. The Independent Auditor shall work to
resolve such dispute promptly and, to the extent practicable, within thirty (30) days from the date
the dispute is submitted to the Independent Auditor. The Independent Auditor shall act based
solely on the presentations of the Purchaser and the Sellers and not by independent review. Any
item not specifically referred to the Independent Auditor for evaluation shall be deemed final and
binding on the parties. The Independent Auditor shall deliver to the Purchaser and the Sellers a
written opinion setting forth the final determination of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing
Date calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, which shall not be more than
as set forth in the Dispute Notice nor less than as set forth in Purchaser’s Statement. The
determination of the Independent Auditor shall be final and binding, effective as of the date the
Independent Auditor’s written opinion is received by the Purchaser and the Sellers. The fees,
costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be borne 50% by the Purchaser and 50% by the
Sellers.
(c) Final Settlement. If the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Target
Amount, the Sellers shall, within five (5) business days from the effective date of such final
determination, pay to the Purchaser the amount of such difference (minus the Holdback Amount, if
any), such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account
as the Purchaser may designate (or in the absence of any such designation, by corporate check
mailed to the Purchaser); if such difference is less than the Holdback Amount, the excess Holdback
Amount shall be paid to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank
account(s) as the Sellers may designate. If the Final Net Working Capital is
-12-
greater than the Target Amount, the Purchaser shall, within five (5) business days from the
date of such final determination, pay to the Sellers the amount of such difference plus the
Holdback Amount, such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
bank account(s) as the Sellers may designate. Any payments hereunder shall include interest
accrued thereon since the Closing Date at the rate of 6% per annum.
(d) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be consistently treated as
adjustments to the Purchase Price.
2.5 Distribution of Subsidiary. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall distribute
the stock of each of the Subsidiary and the FCC SPE to the Sellers or Affiliates of the Sellers
(other than the Company).
2.6 Transfer of Cash. On and prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers may cause the
Company to transfer to the Sellers all Cash of the Company. To the extent all Cash as of the
Closing Date is not transferred on the Closing Date to Sellers, the Purchaser shall cause the
Company to promptly pay over to Sellers any such Cash after the Closing.

material compliance with all applicable Law. All Taxes due and owing by the Company have been paid
or are properly accrued for on the books of the Company and the Working Capital Taxes will be
reflected as a current liability as part of the adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section
2.4. The Company is not the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax

request for information related to Tax matters, or (3) notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment
for any amount of Tax proposed, asserted, or assessed by any Governmental Authority against the
Company. Sellers have delivered to Purchaser correct and complete copies of each income Tax

or could result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of (1) any “excess parachute
payment” within the meaning of section 280G of the Code (or any similar provision of applicable
state, local, or foreign law) and (2) any amount that will not be fully deductible as a result of
section 162(m) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law). The Company
has not been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section
897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the
Code. The Company has disclosed on all of its federal income Tax Returns all positions taken
therein that could give rise to a substantial understatement of federal income Tax within the
meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Company is not a party to or bound by any Tax allocation

law), as a transferee or successor, by Contract, or otherwise.
(f) The unpaid Taxes of the Company (1) did not, as of the date of the Most Recent Financial
Statements, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes
established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the
Most Recent Financial Statements (rather than in any notes thereto) and (2) do not exceed that
reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past
custom and practice of the Company in filing its Tax Returns. Since
-20-
the date of the Most Recent Financial Statements, the Company has not incurred any liability
or obligation for Taxes arising from extraordinary gains or losses, as such term is used in GAAP,
outside the ordinary course of business.

deduction from, Taxable income for any Taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing
Date as a result of any:

condition (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default or
failure) under the Financing Commitments, and Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that
any of the conditions to the Financing will not be satisfied or that the Financing will not be
available to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Purchaser has caused to be fully paid all commitment
fees or other fees required to be paid prior to the date of this Agreement pursuant to the
Financing Commitments.

6.3 Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Consents; Permits. Each party hereto shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and
approvals of any Governmental Authority (other than the FCC which shall be governed by Section
6.16), that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of
its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and will cooperate fully with the other party in
promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. The Sellers,
Purchaser and the Company shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as soon as
practicable, the consent of each other Person that is required under any Contract, Lease, Permit or
otherwise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided,
however, that prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall not contact such Persons without the
prior written consent of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser
agrees to provide such assurances as to financial capability, resources and credit worthiness as
may be reasonably requested by any Person whose consent or approval is sought hereunder;
provided, however, that except as provided herein Purchaser is not required to
make any payment to any other Person regarding any authorizations, consents, orders or approvals,
other than fees of their legal counsel in connection therewith.
6.4 Confidentiality.
(a) The confidentiality obligations of Purchaser shall be governed by that certain
Confidentiality Agreement between Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Company, Inc. and the Purchaser date May 21,
2007 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall not be affected by the execution of
this Agreement, except that (i) after the Closing Date, confidential information covered by the
Confidentiality Agreement, for purposes of the obligations of the Purchaser under the
Confidentiality Agreement, will be deemed not to refer to any information then relating to the
business of the Company and (ii) the Purchaser may disclose confidential information covered
-34-
by the Confidentiality Agreement to the extent required by applicable Law or Nasdaq rules and
regulations.
(b) For a period of five years from the Closing Date (except for all Company trade secrets,
for which the period shall continue until it is no longer a trade secret as a result of disclosure
of such information by persons other than the Sellers and their employees and representatives)
Sellers will hold, and will use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective
representatives and Affiliates to hold, in confidence, except to the extent required by applicable
Law, all confidential information regarding the Company, except to the extent that such information
can be shown to have been (i) previously known on a nonconfidential basis by Sellers, (ii) in the
public domain through no fault of the Sellers or (iii) later lawfully acquired by Sellers from
sources other than the Company or the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or any other person not
under a non-disclosure or confidentiality obligation in favor of the Company or the Purchaser or
any of its subsidiaries; provided, that Sellers may disclose such information (A) to their
employees and representatives who need to know such information for purposes of participating in
the evaluation, negotiation and/or execution of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the Ancillary Documents so long as such persons are informed by Sellers of the confidential nature
of such information and are directed by Sellers to treat such information confidentially and (B) to
the extent required to defend any claim asserted against Sellers or assert any claim that may be
available to Sellers. The Sellers shall be responsible for any failure to treat such information
confidentially by such persons. The Sellers specifically acknowledge and agree that (1) this
Section 6.4(b) and each term hereof are reasonable and necessary to ensure that the
Purchaser receives the expected benefits of acquiring the Shares, (2) the Purchaser has refused to
enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 6.4(b) and (3) breach of this
Section 6.4(b) will harm the Purchaser to such an extent that monetary damages alone would
be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach by the Seller of this Section
6.4(b), the Purchaser (in addition to all other remedies the Purchaser may have) will be
entitled to seek a temporary restraining order, injunction and other equitable relief (without
posting any bond or other security) restraining the Sellers from committing or continuing such
breach.
6.5 Publicity. Except as may be required by applicable Law or Nasdaq rules and
regulations , no party to this Agreement shall, or shall allow any of its Affiliates, to make any
public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or
otherwise communicate with any news media without prior consent of the other party, and the parties
shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, after the initial announcement of the transactions contemplated hereby by the parties
and provided that the Closing has occurred, then each party may issue further press releases,
tombstones and similar announcements without the consent of the other party, provided that such
announcements are consistent with, and not broader in scope with respect to the information they
disclose, than the announcements previously mutually agreed.
6.6 Indemnification of Officers and Directors. For a period of not less than six
years after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, (i) indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable Law against Damages arising out of claims brought or made by third
parties based on the actions of such persons in their capacities as officers, directors, employees
or agents of the Company prior to the Closing, and (ii) maintain in full
-35-
force and effect and honor, all obligations to indemnify the officers, directors, employees
and agents of the Company and to advance expenses existing in favor of such persons in effect as of
the Closing Date under Delaware Law or as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company
or in any written agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and any such Person, on the other
hand.
6.7 Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of
responsibility as between Purchaser and Sellers for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:
(a) Tax Periods Ending On or Before the Closing Date. Purchaser shall prepare or
cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and its
Subsidiary for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax
Period”) which are filed after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall permit Sellers to review and
comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence at least thirty (30) days prior
to the due date for such Tax Returns and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are
reasonably requested by Sellers. Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for Taxes of the Company and
its Subsidiary with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Periods within fifteen (15) days after payment
by Purchaser or the Company and the Subsidiary of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes in the
aggregate exceed the aggregate amount of Taxes reflected in Final Net Working Capital.
(b) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Purchaser shall
prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for
Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall
permit Sellers to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence at
least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for such Tax Returns and shall make such revisions to
such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Sellers. Seller shall pay to Purchaser within
fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount
equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on
the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes in the aggregate exceed the aggregate amount of Taxes
reflected in the Final Net Working Capital. For purposes of this Section 6.7, in the case of any
Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes (but
does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such
taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based
upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire
taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable
period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire
taxable period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be
deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the
Closing Date. Any credits or reductions to Tax (such as net operating losses) relating to a
Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as
though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give
effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the
Company. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare the returns described in Section
6.7(a) and this Section 6.7(b) for Sellers’
-36-
review, comment and filing within 60 days after the Closing (to the extent the relevant
taxable period has ended before that 60th day).
(c) Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received or Tax credits
utilized by Purchaser or the Company and the Subsidiary, any reduction in Tax liability or any
amounts credited against Tax to which Purchaser or the Company and the Subsidiary become entitled,
that are attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods or, with regard to Tax periods that include but do
not end on the Closing Date, portions of those Tax periods ending on the Closing Date, shall be for
the account of Sellers, and Purchaser shall pay over to Sellers any such refund, reduction in Tax
liability or the amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement
thereto. In addition, to the extent that a claim for refund or a proceeding results in a payment
or credit against Tax by a taxing authority to the Purchaser or the Company and the Subsidiary of
any amount accrued on the Most Recent Financial Statements, the Purchaser shall pay such amount to
Sellers within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all net operating losses of the Company shall be for the account of the Company and the
Purchaser and not for the account of the Sellers, and the Purchaser shall have no obligation to pay
to Sellers any amount with respect to the Company’s net operating losses.
(d) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Purchaser, the Company, and Sellers shall cooperate
fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing
of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.7 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with
respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s
request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit,
litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to
provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The party that
is liable for the payment of any Taxes under this Agreement shall control such audit, litigation or
other proceeding with respect to such Taxes and shall control the decision as to any settlement.
Such party shall also pay all costs and expenses in connection with such audit, litigation or other
proceeding (including any cost of cooperation of the other party). The Company and Sellers agree
(i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and the
Subsidiary relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of
the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Sellers, any extensions
thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered
into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to
transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so
requests, the Company or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take
possession of such books and records.
(e) Tax Treatment of Purchase and Sale of Shares. Each of Purchaser, Company and
Sellers agree to treat the portion of the Purchase Price received by Sellers pursuant to this
Agreement which is (i) attributable to proceeds of any debt financing arranged by Purchaser in
connection with the purchase and sale of Shares as a redemption of such portion of each Sellers’
Shares and (ii) not described in clause (i) as a sale of such portion of each Sellers’ Shares, in
each case, for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by a Governmental Entity. It is the
intent of the parties that such redemption and sale shall give rise to capital treatment to the
-37-
Sellers for federal income tax purposes and each of Purchaser, the Company and Sellers shall
report consistently therewith on any relevant Tax Returns.
(f) Certain Taxes. 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 Purchaser when due, and Purchaser will, at their 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,
Sellers will, and will cause their affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and
other documentation.
6.8 Further Assurances. Each party will execute, acknowledge and deliver such
documents and instruments reasonably requested by the other party, and will take any other action
consistent with the terms of this Agreement that may reasonably be requested by the other party,
for the purpose of giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.9 Post-Closing Maintenance of Records. The Purchaser shall: (i) maintain all books
and other records, including without limitation, Tax Returns of the Company (the “Records”)
for seven (7) years after the Closing Date, (ii) grant the Sellers access to the Records at any
reasonable time, and from time to time, upon request by the Sellers in connection with any
reasonable business purpose; and (iii) permit Sellers to make copies of such Records for the
foregoing purposes, at Sellers’ expense. The Sellers may retain copies of such Records as they
deem necessary after the Closing.
6.10 Employees and Employee Benefit Plans.
(a) Purchaser agrees that for a one year period following the Closing it shall, or shall cause
one of its Affiliates to, provide the Affected Employees with employee benefits and compensation
that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to other similarly situated
employees of the Purchaser or those provided as of the Closing Date to the Affected Employees by
the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affected Employees” shall mean Employees and former
employees of the Company as of the Closing Date and, if applicable, any of their dependents,
beneficiaries, qualified beneficiaries under COBRA and alternate payees.
(b) Nothing contained herein shall obligate Purchaser to employ, or offer to employ, or cause
the Company to continue to employ, any current or former employee of the Company, to retain any
Employees for any specific period, to institute or maintain any levels of compensation or benefit
plans or arrangements, or otherwise to take or continue any actions with respect to the Employees
after the Closing, it being understood that no Employee is intended to or shall receive by reason
of this Agreement any direct or third party beneficiary rights against Purchaser.
(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have at all times
complete discretion to determine the specific benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements to
be provided to Employees; however, Employees shall be given credit for purposes of eligibility and
vesting under each employee benefit plan, program, policy or
-38-
arrangement of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof in which the Employees are eligible to
participate for all service with the Company (to the extent such credit was given for a similar
purpose by a comparable employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement, if any, of the
Company). Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that each Employee’s vacation and
personal time off accrued through the Closing Date shall continue to be honored after the Closing
Date.
(d) At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause all amounts due, if any, under its
2007 Participation Plan, 2007 bonus plan and change of control agreements to be paid and such plans
to be terminated with no further obligation to the Company.
6.11 Updating of Schedules. Sellers and the Company shall, from time to time prior to
the Closing, by notice in accordance with this Agreement, supplement or amend the Disclosure
Schedule to this Agreement (the “Disclosure Supplement”) (i) with respect to any fact,
change, condition or circumstance that occurs after the date of this Agreement which, if existing
or occurring before or at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or
described in the Disclosure Schedule or (ii) with respect to any fact that existed as of the date
of this Agreement, to correct any disclosures that were inaccurately made or to add any disclosures
that were inaccurately omitted. With respect to any fact, change, condition or circumstance
described in clause (i) above, (x) if the fact, change, condition or circumstance contained in the
Disclosure Supplement would cause the condition contained in Section 7.1 not to be met,
then Purchaser must either terminate this Agreement or accept such Disclosure Supplement as an
amendment to the Disclosure Schedule and (y) if the fact, change, condition or circumstance
contained in the Disclosure Supplement would not cause the condition contained in Section
7.1 not to be met, then Purchaser may seek any indemnification available to Purchaser under
this Agreement following the Closing with respect to such fact, change, condition or circumstance;
provided, however, that, Purchaser shall not be entitled to seek indemnification with respect to
any such fact, change, condition or circumstance under this Agreement that occurs in the ordinary
course of the Company’s business and was not the result of actions taken in violation of
Section 6.2 (it being understood and agreed that the threat or the commencement of
litigation in the ordinary course will, among other matters, be exempted from any indemnification
obligation pursuant to clause (y)). With respect to any items of the type described in clause (ii)
above, if the fact, change, condition or circumstance contained on the Disclosure Supplement would
not prevent the fulfillment of the condition contained in Section 7.1, or if such fact,
change, condition or circumstance would prevent the fulfillment of the condition contained in
Section 7.1 but the parties still allow the Closing to occur, Purchaser may seek any
indemnification available to Purchaser under this Agreement following Closing with respect to such
fact, change, condition or circumstance. For the avoidance of doubt, no disclosure by Sellers or
the Company under this Section, however, shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure
Schedule or to prevent or cure any breach of representation or warranty or breach of covenant for
purposes of Sections 7.1 or 7.2.
6.12 Covenant Not to Hire Employees.
(a) To further ensure that Purchaser receives the expected benefits of acquiring the Shares,
the Sellers agree that (subject to the other terms of this Section 6.12), throughout the
period that begins on the Closing Date and ends on the second anniversary of the
-39-
Closing Date (the “Non-Solicit Period), the Sellers will not, and the Sellers will
cause each of their Controlled Portfolio Companies not to, directly or indirectly solicit for
employment or hire any individual who is a Key Employee except that nothing herein prohibits the
Sellers or any of their Controlled Portfolio Companies from any (A) general solicitation for
employment (including in newspapers or magazines, over the internet or by any search or employment
agency) if not specifically directed towards such Key Employees, or (B) solicit (or thereafter
hire) a Key Employee who at the time of solicitation is not an employee of the Company.
(b) The Sellers specifically acknowledge and agree that (1) this Section 6.12 and each
term hereof are reasonable and necessary to ensure that the Purchaser receives the expected
benefits of acquiring the Shares, (2) the Purchaser has refused to enter into this Agreement in the
absence of this Section 6.12 and (3) breach of this Section 6.12 will harm the
Purchaser to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore,
in the event of a breach by the Seller of this Section 6.12, the Purchaser (in addition to
all other remedies the Purchaser may have) will be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order,
injunction and other equitable relief (without posting any bond or other security) restraining the
Sellers from committing or continuing such breach.
6.13 Audit. The Company shall retain Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx to audit the financial statements
of the Company for the 2007 fiscal year. The fees and expenses of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (“Audit
Payments”) shall be the responsibility of the Sellers and shall not be included in the
calculation of Net Working Capital. The Audit Escrow Amount will be held by the Escrow Agent
pursuant to the terms of the Audit Escrow Agreement. The Company shall pay any such Audit Payments
out of the funds deposited by Sellers with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Audit Escrow Agreement.
If such Audit Escrow Amount is insufficient to cover the entire amount of such Audit Payments,
then Sellers shall immediately reimburse the Company for the amount of any such Audit Payments paid
by the Company in excess of the Audit Escrow Amount.
6.14 Severance Payment. For a period of 200 days after the Closing (the
“Severance Period”), the Company, or the Purchaser on behalf of the Company, may make
severance payments and/or payments for breach of employment contract (collectively, the
“Post-Closing Severance Payments”), as applicable, to any Employee employed after the
Closing Date who may be terminated by the Company during the Severance Period. From and after the
Closing, Sellers shall be responsible for one-half of the Post-Closing Severance Payments made by
Purchaser or the Company, which one-half share shall not exceed $336,500 (the “Sellers’
Severance Escrow Amount”). Immediately prior to Closing, the Sellers will deposit into a
separate escrow with the Escrow Agent $673,000 to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms
of the Severance Escrow Agreement. Purchaser or the Company may at any time during the Severance
Period, from time to time, upon notice to the Escrow Agent use all or any portion of the Severance
Escrow Amount to make, or to reimburse the Company for payment of, Post-Closing Severance Payments
and shall provide reasonable evidence of the amount and recipient of any Post-Closing Severance
Payments to Sellers upon request.
6.15 Subordination Agreements. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
negotiate definitive subordination agreements with the Lenders relating to the Seller Notes and
Seller Convertible Notes, which subordination agreements will provide, among other
-40-
matters, that all amounts due under such notes may be paid on maturity or acceleration, if
Purchaser is in compliance with certain financial covenants in the agreements governing the senior
indebtedness.
6.16 Earth Station License.
(a) The Company (prior to Closing) and the Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the consent of the FCC to assign the Earth Station License from the Company to
GeoLogic Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly owned by the Sellers (the “FCC
SPE”), whose sole purpose shall be to hold the Earth Station License and to enter into and
perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Earth Station Management Agreement.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after execution of this Agreement, the Sellers and the
Company shall file the FCC Application. The Sellers and the Company agree to file the FCC
Application with all reasonable diligence and take all steps reasonably necessary and otherwise use
their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the FCC Consent as expeditiously as possible,
including the filing of all appropriate or necessary supplemental filings and amendments and
vigorously contesting and opposing any petitions, objections, challenges or requests for
reconsideration thereof, provided however, that neither the Company nor the Sellers shall have any
obligation to participate in an evidentiary hearing on the FCC Application. No party hereto shall
take any action not contemplated by this Agreement that such party knows or would reasonably be
expected to know would adversely affect obtaining the FCC Consent. All fees and expenses related
to the preparation and filing of the FCC Application (including FCC filing fees), other than the
fees and expenses of the Company’s attorneys, shall be the responsibility of the Sellers. Within
10 business days after the FCC Application becomes a Final Order, the Sellers will (i) cause the
FCC SPE to assign the license to the Company for an amount equal to $10 by executing the Assignment
and Assumption Agreement in the form set forth as Exhibit 6.16 hereto and (ii) Sellers and the
Company shall take all steps necessary to notify the FCC within 15 business days thereof that the
FCC Application has been consummated.
(c) In the event the FCC fails or refuses to issue the FCC Consent on or before January 1,
2009 and such failure or refusal is due to any action or failure to act by either: (a) the Sellers
or their Affiliates (excluding the Company), (b) the Company prior to Closing, or (c) the FCC or
members of its staff, then the Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to secure for the
Company either (x) an earth station license from the FCC in the Company’s own name and stead that
has technical parameters that allow the Company to operate its Earth Station business in the
substantially the same manner as it currently operates such business (with no added cost or expense
to the Company or any change in the service area or any modifications to Company’s products)
(“Option X”), or (y) an agreement with a third party entity (a “Third Party”) that
would result in the assignment or transfer of the Earth Station License from the FCC SPE to such
Third Party, but would allow the Company to manage the Earth Station business in substantially the
same manner (with no added cost or expense to the Company or any change in the service area or any
modifications to Company’s products) in which such business currently is being conducted
(“Option Y,” either “Option X” or “Option Y,” the “License
Alternative”). Sellers shall be responsible for all fees and expenses related to the License
Alternative, including costs associated with any agreement and/or ensuring that any
-41-
application filed at the FCC has become a Final Order. In the event that Sellers pursue
Option Y, Sellers shall prepare and file an application for the assignment or transfer of the Earth
Station License to a Third Party, and shall file all appropriate or necessary supplemental filings
and amendments and vigorously contest and oppose any petitions, objections, challenges or requests
for reconsideration thereof, provided however, that the Sellers shall not have any obligation to
participate in an evidentiary hearing on such assignment or transfer application to the Third
Party. The Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate with the Sellers in seeking to obtain the
License Alternative at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Earth Station Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until any application
filed pursuant to a License Alternative shall have become a Final Order and the License Alternative
shall have been implemented, and Sellers shall cause the FCC SPE to fulfill its obligations under
the Earth Station Management Agreement.
(d) In the event the FCC fails or refuses to issue the FCC Consent on or before January 1,
2009 and such failure or refusal is primarily due to any action or failure to act by either: (a)
the Purchaser or its Affiliates (excluding the Company), or (b) the Company following Closing, then
the Sellers shall have no further obligation, other than to: (x) cooperate with the Purchaser and
the Company in their efforts to secure the License Alternative at the Company’s sole cost and
expense and (y) to cause the FCC SPE to fulfill its obligations under the Earth Station Management
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
(e) Each of the Sellers and the FCC SPE agree to comply with their respective obligations
under the terms of the Earth Station Management Agreement. The Sellers and the FCC SPE
specifically acknowledge and agree that (1) the provisions of the Earth Station Management
Agreement are reasonable and necessary to ensure that the Purchaser receives the expected benefits
of acquiring the Shares, (2) the Purchaser has refused to enter into this Agreement in the absence
of this Section 6.16(e) and (3) breach of this Section 6.16(e) will harm the
Purchaser to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore,
in the event of a breach by the Sellers or the FCC SPE of this Section 6.16(e), the
Purchaser (in addition to all other remedies the Purchaser may have) will be entitled to seek a
temporary restraining order, injunction and other equitable relief (without posting any bond or
other security) restraining the Sellers and the FCC SPE from committing or continuing such breach.
6.17 Financing.
(a) Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and
obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments, including
commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments, (ii) satisfy
on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Purchaser to obtaining the Financing, (iii)
negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on terms and conditions contained in the
Financing Commitments or other terms that would not materially and adversely impact the ability of
Purchaser to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) consummate the
Financing at or prior to the Closing (including by enforcing all of its rights under the Financing
Commitments). Purchaser shall not agree to or permit any amendment, supplement or other
modification of, or waive any of its rights under, any Financing
-42-
Commitment or any definitive agreements related to the Financing, in each case, without the
Sellers’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
except any such amendment, supplement or other modification to the Financing Commitments that would
not (A) materially reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing below that amount required to
consummate the purchase of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
(B) materially adversely amend or expand any conditions to funding the Financing that are contained
in the Financing Commitments, or (C) reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede the
consummation of the Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon any such
amendment, supplement or modification of the Financing Commitments in accordance with this Section
6.17, Purchaser shall provide a copy thereof to the Sellers and the term “Financing Commitments”
shall mean the Financing Commitments as so amended, supplemented or modified.
(b) In the event all or any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and
conditions described in or contemplated by the Financing Commitments for any reason, Purchaser
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange to obtain, as promptly as practicable
following the occurrence of such event alternative financing from alternative sources (the
“Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement which in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment would not involve financial
terms that are less beneficial, and other terms that are less beneficial in the aggregate, to
Purchaser, would not involve any conditions to funding the Financing that are not expressly
contained in the Financing Commitments and would not reasonably be expected to prevent or
materially impede the consummation of the Financing or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(c) Purchaser shall give the Sellers prompt written notice of any breach by any party of the
Financing Commitments (or commitments for any Alternative Financing) of which Purchaser becomes
aware or any termination of the Financing Commitments (or commitments for any Alternative
Financing). Purchaser shall keep the Sellers informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable
detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (or Alternative Financing) and, to the
extent permitted, provide to the Sellers copies of all documents related to the Financing (or
Alternative Financing).

not have occurred on or before March 31, 2008; provided, however, that neither
party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) if the failure to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby prior to such date is the direct or indirect result
of any breach of any covenant, representation or warranty of such party or because any of the
conditions precedent to the obligations of the other party have not been satisfied in all material
respects due to any action or failure to act by such party;
(c) By Purchaser, by prior written notice to the Sellers, if (1) any of the Sellers or the

Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any and all Damages resulting from any untruth, inaccuracy
or breach of representation or warranty made by the Company in Article III or any covenant of

representation or warranty made by such Seller in Article IV or (B) any breach or default in
the performance by such Seller of any covenant or agreement of such Seller contained herein, in
the Disclosure Schedule or in the Escrow Agreements, provided that indemnification with respect
to Section 6.16 of this Agreement or the Earth Station Management Agreement shall be governed
by Section 11.2(a)(iii) and not this clause.
(iii) Sellers shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser
Indemnified Parties from and against, and shall reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties
for, any and all Damages resulting from, arising out of, based on, or relating to a breach of
the covenant in Section 6.16 hereto. From and after the Closing, Sellers and FCC SPE
shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser Indemnified Parties
from and against, and shall reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any and all
Damages resulting, arising out of, based on, or relating to any breach of any covenant or
agreement of FCC SPE under the Earth Station Management Agreement, except to the extent the
Seller and FCC SPE Indemnified Parties are otherwise indemnified by the Purchaser or the
Company therefor under Section 11.2(b). Each Seller shall be liable only for its pro rata
(based on ownership of the Company at Closing) portion of claims under this Section
11.2(a)(iii).
(b) Indemnification by Purchaser.
(i) Purchaser shall, and from and after the Closing, the Company shall, indemnify and hold
harmless Sellers, their Affiliates and any of their respective officers, directors and
employees (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and shall
reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Damages, resulting from (i) any
untruth, inaccuracy or breach of representation, warranty, agreement, or covenant of the
Purchaser in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule or the Escrow Agreement, or (ii) any
liability arising from or relating to the conduct of the business of the Company from and after

-48-
(ii) From and after Closing, the Purchaser and the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless Sellers and FCC SPE, their Affiliates and any of their respective officers, directors
and employees (collectively, the “Seller and FCC SPE Indemnified Parties”) from and against,
and shall reimburse the Seller and FCC SPE Indemnified Parties for, any and all Damages,
resulting from, arising out of, based on or relating to (i) any gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Company in the performance of the Management Services (as defined in the
Earth Station Management Agreement), or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the
Company under the Earth Station Management Agreement, except to the extent Purchaser is
otherwise indemnified by the Sellers therefor under Section 11.2(a)
(c) Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding the rights of the Indemnified Parties
to indemnification under this Article XI, and except with respect to claims for fraud,
claims for breaches of covenants (subject to the limitations provided below), Indemnifying Party’s
indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party shall be limited as follows:
(i) Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for Damages that are based on an untruth,
inaccuracy or breach of representation or warranty in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule
or any Ancillary Document, other than a breach of the Specified Representations and claims
under Sections 11.2(a)(iii) and 11.2(b)(ii) (which shall not be so limited), if and to
the extent such Damages exceed one-half percent (.5%) of the Purchase Price in the aggregate
(“Deductible”);
(ii) the aggregate amount of Seller’s liability for Damages under this Article XI,
other than for breaches of the Specified Representations and claims under Section
11.2(a)(iii) (which shall not be so limited), shall not exceed seventeen and one half
percent (17.5%) of the Purchase Price (“Cap”);
(iii) the aggregate amount of Purchaser’s liability for Damages under this Article XI,
other than for breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections
5.1, 5.2, 5.4 and 5.5 and claims under Section 11.2(b)(ii)
(which shall not be so limited), shall not exceed the Cap;
(iv) the aggregate amount of Sellers’ and FCC SPE’s liability for Damages for claims under
Section 11.2(a)(iii) shall not exceed $17.5 million;
(v) the aggregate amount of Purchaser’s liability for Damages for claims under Section
11.2(b)(ii) shall not exceed $17.5 million; and
(vi) the aggregate amount of each Seller’s liability for Damages for all claims as a
result of, or based upon or arising from this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (including
the Earth Station Management Agreement, but excluding the Escrow Agreements) or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall not in any event exceed the Purchase Price,
in the aggregate, received by such Seller; and
(vii) the aggregate amount of the Purchaser’s and the Company’s (after the Closing)
liability for Damages for all claims as a result of, or based
-49-
upon or arising from this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (including the Earth Station
Management Agreement, but excluding the Escrow Agreements) or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall not in any event exceed the Purchase Price, in the aggregate.
(d) Claims for Indemnity. Whenever a claim for Damages shall arise for which an
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder other than a third party claim
addressed by Section 11.2(e), such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing within fifteen (15) days of the first receipt of notice of such claim, and in any event
within such shorter period as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Party to take appropriate
action to resist such claim. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances known to the Indemnified Party regarding the claim and shall explain in reasonable
detail the basis on which the Indemnified Party claims a right to indemnity, including citation to
relevant sections of this Agreement, and, if estimable, shall estimate the amount of the liability
arising therefrom. The failure to provide such notice shall not result in a waiver of any right to
indemnification hereunder except to the extent, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is
able to demonstrate it was prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party shall be duly
notified of such indemnity claim, the parties shall attempt to settle and compromise the same, or
if unable to do so within thirty (30) days of the Indemnified Party’s delivery of notice of
indemnity claim, the parties may pursue such legal proceedings as may be lawfully available to
them. Any rights of indemnification established by reason of such settlement or proceedings shall
thereafter be paid and satisfied by the Indemnifying Party promptly after such date that the
indemnified amount is finally determined.
(e) Defense of Third Party Claims. Upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a notice
from the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim of a third party against the Indemnified Party
for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have
the right to assume the defense of such claim, except if the aggregate amount of the potential
obligations of the Indemnified Party regarding such claim is reasonably likely to exceed the
maximum obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement regarding such claim. The
Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate to the extent reasonably requested
by the other in defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and
testimony and attend all such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as
may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection therewith. To elect to conduct such
defense, the Indemnifying Party must give written notice of such election to the Indemnified Party
within 30 days (or within the shorter period, if any, during which a defense must be commenced for
the preservation of rights) after the Indemnified Party gives the corresponding initial claim
notice to the Indemnifying Party (otherwise, such right to conduct such defense will be deemed
waived). If the Indemnifying Party validly makes such election, it will nonetheless lose such
right to conduct such defense if it fails to continue to actively and diligently conduct such
defense. Also, if the Indemnifying Party validly makes such election, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, and will have the right to receive copies
of all notices, pleadings or other similar submissions regarding such defense. If the Indemnifying
Party has assumed the defense of any claim against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party
will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of all matters material to such defense and
third party claim at all
-50-
stages thereof, and shall have the right to settle any claim for which indemnification has
been sought and is available hereunder; provided, however, that, to the extent that such settlement
requires the Indemnified Party to take, or prohibits the Indemnified Party from taking, any action
or purports to obligate the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such
claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a
third party claim and disputes the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of such claim through counsel of its
choice in any manner that the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate, the reasonable costs
of which shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s expense in the event that the Indemnified Party’s
right of indemnification is ultimately established through settlement, compromise or other legal
proceeding. In no circumstance may the Indemnified Party compromise or settle a claim with a third
party for which it has an established right to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party without
first obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
11.3 Mitigation. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate the Damages for which such Indemnified Party is or may become entitled to be indemnified
hereunder, including pursuing or attempting to recover any insurance proceeds under any applicable
insurance policy. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any
Damages of any Person under this Article XI shall be net of the amount, if any, received by the
Indemnified Party from any third party, including without limitation, any insurance company or
other insurance provider, in each case in respect of or attributable to the Damages suffered
thereby (a “Third Party Reimbursement”). If, after receipt by the Indemnified Party of any
indemnification payment hereunder, such Indemnified Party receives a Third Party Reimbursement in
respect of the same Damages for which indemnification was made and such Third Party Reimbursement
was not taken into account in assessing the amount of indemnification, then the Indemnified Party
shall turn over all of such Third Party Reimbursement to the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of
the indemnification paid pursuant hereto.
11.4 Exclusive Remedy. Except for claims for fraud or as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement, the indemnification provided in this Article XI will constitute the
exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the
case may be, and their respective assigns, from and against any and all Damages asserted against,
resulting to, imposed upon or incurred or suffered by, any of them, directly or indirectly, as a
result of, or based upon or arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
Ancillary Document (including the Earth Station Management Agreement, but excluding the Escrow
Agreements) including without limitation, any breach of any representation or warranty herein or
the non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant herein or in any other agreement, document, or
instrument required hereunder including the Earth Station Management Agreement. Purchaser, FCC SPE
and each Seller hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all
rights, claims, and causes of action it may have against any other party, or any of such other
party’s Affiliates, to the contrary.
11.5 Damages. Each party agrees that it is not entitled to recover and hereby waives
any claim with respect to, and will not seek to recover any exemplary, punitive,
-51-
incidental, special or consequential damages or any claim for lost profits; provided,
however, that the foregoing will not apply to any breach of Section 6.12,
Section 6.4(b) or any third party claim pursuant to which such damages are awarded to a
third party.
11.6 No Double Recovery. Notwithstanding the fact that any party may have the right
to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this
Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no party shall be entitled to
recover the amount of any Damages suffered by such party more than once, regardless of whether such
Damages may be as a result of a breach of more than one representation or warranty or covenant.
Moreover, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a matter for which the
Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement is reserved for or
otherwise included in the Final Net Working Capital, then the Purchaser shall not be able to
recover for such item to the extent (and only to the extent and in the such amount as) it was so
reserved or accrued.
11.7 Effect of Knowledge. Notwithstanding any other term herein, Purchaser (and
Purchaser Indemnified Parties) will not have any right to indemnification regarding any breach of a
representation or warranty herein if Sellers prove that (1) Purchaser had actual knowledge of such
breach at the time such representation or warranty was made and Purchaser concealed it from Sellers
for the purpose of allowing such a breach to occur and (2) Sellers did not have actual knowledge or
there was not Knowledge of the Company of such breach at such time. Except as stated in this
Section 11.7 above, Purchaser’s consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will
not be a waiver of, or otherwise affect, any claim for indemnification, notwithstanding any such
actual knowledge of Purchaser. For purposes of this Section 11.7, (A) Sellers’ actual
knowledge or Knowledge of the Company will include any matter in any item in or referenced in any
Section of the Disclosure Schedule or provided or made available by or on behalf of Sellers to
Knowledge of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and (B)
Purchaser’s actual knowledge only will be the actual knowledge of Xxxx Ties and Xxx Xxxxxxx.
11.8 Adjustments to Purchase Price. Any payments made pursuant to this Article
XI shall be consistently treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all purposes by
Sellers and Purchaser.
11.9 Escrow. To secure the indemnification obligations of the Sellers under this
Agreement, the Indemnification Escrow Amount is being deposited into an escrow account (the
“Indemnification Escrow Account”) pursuant to Section 2.3 and the terms of an
Indemnification Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which indemnification claims may be made for a period
of 12 months after Closing. The Indemnification Escrow Amount may be used for matters arising out
of, relating to or resulting from Section 2.4 and for any other indemnification obligation
of Sellers under this Agreement. Disbursements from the Indemnification Escrow Account will occur
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement. The
Indemnification Escrow Account will not be the sole source of funds for such obligations.
11.10 Offset Against Seller Notes. Purchaser shall have the right to offset the
amount of any Damages related to any claim for indemnification under this Agreement against
-52-
any payment or payments otherwise due under the Seller Notes after final resolution of a claim
hereunder. If final resolution (whether by order, judgment, decree, settlement, arbitration award
or otherwise) of any claim for which an indemnification notice has been given in good faith and in
accordance with this Agreement has not been reached as of the due date of any payment under the
Seller Notes, then Purchaser shall pay into an escrow account with US Bank the amount proposed to
be offset under the Seller Notes until final resolution of the underlying claim. The amount of any
payment under the Seller Notes which is not then subject to a claim shall be paid to the Sellers
when due. The terms of the escrow agreement relating to any such escrowed payment shall be
substantially similar to that of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement. Upon final resolution of
such claim, Purchaser and Sellers will apply such funds to such Damages in accordance with this
Article XI and such final resolution. Any offset after final resolution of a claim against
the Seller Notes shall be deemed to have occurred upon the date that the Purchaser Indemnified
Party initially gave notice of the underlying claim for indemnification under this Agreement (the
“Claim Date”) and shall reduce the principal amount of the Seller Notes as of such date,
including for purposes of calculating interest under the Seller Notes. In no event will the
exercise of any right to withhold payment or right of offset in good faith by the Purchaser,
whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, constitute an event of default under the
Seller Notes or a breach of this Agreement. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to exercise,
such right of offset by the Purchaser will constitute an election of remedies or limit Purchaser in
any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it. Nothing in this
Section 11.10 shall limit Purchaser’s right to proceed directly against any Seller for the
collection of any Damages even before exercising the rights of offset in this Section
11.10; provided however, that any Seller may at its option satisfy any indemnification
obligations finally determined to be due from it under this Agreement by delivery of Seller Notes
or Seller Convertible Notes, which shall be valued at their face amount together with accrued and
unpaid interest through the Claim Date.

Notices, requests, demands and other communications made under this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been duly given (i) upon delivery, if served personally on the party to whom notice is to be
given, (ii) on the date of receipt, refusal or non-delivery indicated on the receipt if mailed to
the party to whom notice is to be given by registered or certified, postage prepaid or by air

written notice of a change of address in accordance with the provisions of this Section
12.2 and after such notice of change has been received, any subsequent notice shall be given to

12.3 Schedules. The inclusion of any information in any Schedule attached hereto will
not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the
inclusion of such information in such Schedule, that such information is required to be listed in
such Schedule. The headings, if any, of the individual sections of the Schedules are inserted for
convenience only and will not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or a part of this Agreement.
The Schedules are arranged in sections corresponding to the sections of this Agreement merely for
convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one Schedule as an exception to a particular
covenant, representation or warranty will be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with
respect to all other covenants, representations or warranties to the
-54-
extent that the relevance of such item to such other covenants, representations or warranties
is reasonably apparent on the face of such item, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an
appropriate Schedule with respect to such other covenants, representations or warranties or an
appropriate cross-reference thereto.
12.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Disclosure Schedule, the
Earth Station Management Agreement, the Escrow Agreements, and the Confidentiality and
Nondisclosure Agreement referred to in Section 6.4, sets forth the entire agreement between
the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all other prior agreements and
understandings, written or oral, between the parties or any of their respective Affiliates with
respect to such subject matter.

and/or rescinded only through an express written instrument signed by all parties or their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Any party may specifically and expressly waive in
writing any portion of this Agreement or any breach hereof, but only to the extent such provision
is for the benefit of the waiving party, and no such waiver shall constitute a further or
continuing waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision. The
consent by one party to any act for which such consent was required shall not be deemed to imply
consent or waiver of the necessity of obtaining such consent for the same or similar acts in the
future, and no forbearance by a party to seek a remedy for noncompliance or breach by another party
shall be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to such noncompliance or breach.

this Agreement nor any interest herein shall be assignable (voluntarily, involuntarily, by judicial

written consent of the other party, and any such attempted assignment shall be null and void.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.7 shall prevent Purchaser,
without the consent of any other party, from assigning all or part of its rights or obligations
hereunder by way of collateral assignment to any lender(s) providing financing for the transactions
contemplated hereby or to any of its Affiliates, but no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of
its obligations under this Agreement.

Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the
parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

nothing in this Agreement will be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties to this
Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under, or in
respect of, this Agreement or any provision hereof.

12.10 No Personal Liability. This Agreement shall not create or be deemed to create
or permit any personal liability or obligation on the part of (i) any direct or indirect
stockholder, member or partner of any Seller or Purchaser or (ii) any officer, director, employee,
agent or representative of any Seller, Purchaser or the Company.

this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Law and public policies
applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any term or provision
of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is adjudicated by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction: (i)
a substitute and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as
may be valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction, the intent and purpose of the invalid,
prohibited or unenforceable provision; and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the application
of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity,
prohibition or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability of such
provision affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in
any other jurisdiction.
12.12 No Presumption. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any
presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing
any instrument to be drafted.

any other document or agreement executed in connection herewith, such party shall deliver an
originally executed signature page within three business days of delivering such facsimile
signature page or at any time thereafter upon request; provided, however, that the
failure to deliver any such originally executed signature page shall not affect the validity of the

2. | Company Accounting Policies | |
Revenue Recognition | ||
Subscriber Revenues | ||
The Company derives subscriber revenues (including the monthly subscriber fee) from the provision of real-time access to business information integrated into existing wireless communication platforms. The Company obtains signed contracts from its subscribers at the beginning of the initial subscriber period. The Company’s contracts with MobileMax |
-59-
subscribers are generally for three to five year periods and include termination penalties if cancelled by the subscriber before the initial service period expires. These contracts are generally renewable at the option of the subscriber for additional periods or otherwise continue on a monthly basis until cancelled by the subscriber. Contracts with subscribers to the Company’s CrossBridge Solutions service offering are offered on a monthly basis with cancellation at the option of either the Company or the subscriber. The Company recognizes subscriber revenue on a monthly basis as the service is provided. | ||
Device Revenues | ||
The Company derives device revenues from the sale of wireless devices used to provide its subscriber services. Revenue for device sales is initially recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the subscriber contract term for the initial service term which is generally three to five years. The Company also derives device revenues from the rental of MobileMax units that are leased to customers under operating leases, which is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, and from the sale of spare parts, which are recognized when the parts are shipped to the customer. | ||
Cost of Revenues | ||
Cost of revenues consists primarily of airtime costs incurred for the use of third party satellite and terrestrial networks, and costs of devices that are resold or leased to customers. The cost of devices sold is deferred and amortized over the life of the related customer contract term of three to five years, consistent with device revenues. Shipping costs for devices sold are invoiced to customers and included in revenues and cost of revenues. Cost of revenues also includes amortization of the Investment in sales-type depreciation of operating lease equipment. | ||
Accounts Receivable | ||
Accounts receivable consists of xxxxxxxx for monthly service, new system (device) sales, sales of miscellaneous piece parts consumed by customers in the ordinary course of business, and xxxxxxxx for devices shipped through the RMA process should the customer not return the broken unit within 30 days. | ||
Allowances are made for doubtful accounts based on a consistently applied methodology assessed on the aging of accounts receivable, in total, adjusted for known fully-collectible items, subsequent receipts, and any known uncollectible items (e.g., as a result of a known customer insolvency). Prior to any known adjustments, reserve amounts are assessed at 25% for amounts 31-60 days past due, 75% for amounts 61 to 90 days past due, and 100% for amounts over 90 days past due. | ||
Inventory | ||
Inventory consists of finished goods, primarily mobile communications devices, stated at the lower of cost or market along with associated component parts, cables |
-60-
and WIP. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company’s inventory is subject to rapid technological changes that can have an adverse impact on its realization in future periods, as such assessments are made periodically with respect to the potential obsolescence of current inventory items and reserves are made as appropriate. | ||
Investment in Sales-Type Leases | ||
The Company leases devices to certain of its customers that are accounted for as sales-type leases. The Company records its investment in the sales-type leases at the present value of the future minimum lease payments. There is no guaranteed residual value associated with the leased devices. The leases generally have terms of five years and are collateralized by a security interest in the related equipment. The Company records revenue on these leased devices as the ongoing service is provided over the term of the related lease agreement. | ||
Property and Equipment | ||
Property and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows: |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |
3 - 5 years | |
Operating lease equipment |
3 years | |
Land-earth station equipment |
4 years | |
Computer equipment and purchased software |
3 years |
Warranty Costs
The Company provides a standard warranty of one year with its product. Since device hardware
revenue and costs are deferred and recognized over the term of the subscriber agreement under
SAB 101, no accrual for warranty expense is necessary.
Additionally, for extended warranties beyond the one year, the Company generally bundles the
extended warranty with the monthly subscriber fee (as opposed to with the up front device
charge) and increases the monthly fee by an amount generally ranging from $2-5 per month. In
accordance with FASB EITF 90-1, the company does not record a liability for the provision of
extended warranty at the time of product shipment but, rather, expenses extended warranty
costs as incurred.
For product refurbished and placed into inventory, the Company currently records the value
of repaired/refurbished inventory on the balance sheet at the time of repair and expenses
these items as they are released to customers to match the cost of repairs with the actual warranty activity and to provide a cost of sale corresponding to the sale of
refurbished units. Prior to June 2007, the Company’s cost for repairs of product was
expensed as incurred at the time of repair.
-61-
Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined using the liability method, which requires the recognition
of deferred tax liabilities and assets based on differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and
laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. All such deferred
tax assets are currently fully-reserved.
