The indemnified party shall, at its option and expense, have the right to participate in any defense undertaken by the indemnifying party with legal counsel of its own selection. If the indemnifying party, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, has failed to prosecute such defense in good faith in an expeditious and diligent manner, the indemnified party shall have the right to defend and/or settle such claim on behalf of the indemnifying party. No settlement or compromise of any claim which may result in a Deficiency may be made by the indemnifying party without the prior written consent of the indemnified party unless the proposed settlement is solely a monetary settlement and prior to such settlement or compromise the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the indemnifying party obligation to pay in full the amount of the settlement and all associated expenses and the indemnified party is furnished with either (A) security reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party will in fact pay such amount and expenses, or (B) a full release from the claimant in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.

The indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with such actions as the indemnifying party may seek to take to mitigate the impact of any alleged breach. Such request shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of liability on the part of the indemnifying party.

In the event, however, that a Contest Notice is given to the indemnified party within said 15-day period, then the contested assertion of a Deficiency may be established pursuant to the provisions of Section 19 herein.

- 33 -

(iii) The indemnified and indemnifying parties may agree in writing, at any time, as to the existence and amount of a Deficiency, and, upon the execution of such agreement, such Deficiency shall be deemed established.

(f) Payment of Deficiencies. Subject to the limitations set forth in subsection (g), the indemnifyingparty hereby agree to pay in cash the amount of each established Deficiency to the indemnified party within five (5) business days after the final establishment thereof.

(iii) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any party to this Agreement shall have unlimited recourse against any other party that has committed any Knowing Misrepresentation.

Upon the written request of any of such holders made to the Representative within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, and forwarded to Buyer within five (5) days thereafter, Buyer will, subject to the limits contained in this Section 17, use its best efforts to cause all such Buyer Shares then held by such holders which are sought to be registered hereunder, to be registered under the Securities Act and qualified for sale under any state blue sky law, all to the extent requisite to permit such sale or other disposition by such holders of the Buyer Shares so registered; provided, however, that if Buyer is advised in writing in good faith by any managing underwriter of the Buyer’s securities being offered in a public offering pursuant to such registration statement that the amount to be sold by Persons other than the Buyer (collectively, “Selling Security Holders”) is greater than the amount which can be offered without adversely affecting the offering, Buyer may reduce the amount offered for the accounts of all Selling Security Holders (including the Stockholders and other holders of Buyer Shares hereunder) who have a contractual, incidental “piggy back” right to include such securities in a registration statement to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter; provided, however, that no reduction shall be made in the amount of Buyer Shares offered for the accounts of the Stockholders and other holders hereunder unless such reduction is imposed pro rata with respect to all securities whose holders have or may hereafter acquire a contractual, incidental “piggy back” right to include such securities in the registration statement as to which inclusion has been requested pursuant to such right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s obligation to register the Buyer Shares under this Section 17 shall terminate at such time when the holders thereof may sell all of such Buyer Shares, without limitation or restriction, as to timing and amount, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

18. Further Assurances. Buyer, the Corporation and Stockholders agree to execute and deliver all such other instruments and take all such other action as any party may reasonably request from time to time, after the date hereof and without payment of further consideration, in order to effectuate the transactions provided for herein.

(a) In the event of a dispute between the parties, including indemnification claims pursuant to Section 15, the parties shall first promptly attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute for a period of not less than thirty (30) calendar days. If such good faith efforts are not successful within such 30-day period, at any time thereafter, any party may give the other written notice of a dispute (a “Dispute Notice”), the parties shall attempt in good faith to agree to the appointment of an independent mediator (a “Mediator”) to assist the parties in resolving the dispute. Should the parties agree to a Mediator, the matter shall be referred to such Mediator for resolution in accordance with the usual practices and procedures of such Mediator; provided, however, that no party shall have an obligation to participate in any mediation after a date which is thirty (30) calendar days after the applicable Dispute Notice was served. The parties shall cooperate with the Mediator and shall provide any relevant information requested by the Mediator. If the parties cannot agree on the selection of a Mediator within twenty (20) calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, or if the dispute is not resolved by the Mediator as provided herein, then the dispute shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of subsection 19(b) hereunder.

In the event the parties cannot agree on the selection of the arbitrator from the one or more lists submitted by the AAA within thirty (30) calendar days after the AAA transmits to the parties its first list of potential arbitrators, AAA shall nominate three Persons who meet the criteria set forth herein. Each party shall be entitled to strike one of such three nominees on a peremptory basis within five (5) calendar days after its receipt of such list of nominees, indicating its order of preference with respect to the remaining nominees. If two of such nominees have been stricken by the parties to the dispute, the unstricken nominee shall be the arbitrator. Otherwise, the selection of the arbitrator shall be made by the AAA from the remaining nominees in accordance with the parties’ mutual order of preference, or by random selection in the absence of a mutual order of preference. The arbitrator shall base his or her award on the terms of this Agreement, on applicable law and judicial precedent, shall include in such award the findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which the award is based and shall not grant any remedy or relief that a court could not grant under applicable law. The arbitration shall be governed by the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein, without regard to conflicts of laws rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(c) If any party to a dispute fails to proceed with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 19 or unsuccessfully seeks to stay such proceedings, or fails to comply with any arbitration award, or is unsuccessful in vacation or modifying the award pursuant to a petition or application for judicial review, the other party shall be entitled to be awarded costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by such other party in successfully compelling such proceedings or defending against the attempt to stay, vacate or modify such arbitration award and/or successfully defending or enforcing the award.

All actions of the Representative shall be made personally by the Representative, and no Representative shall be permitted to assign or delegate its rights or duties, whether by operation of law or otherwise. In the event of the death, incapacity, incompetency, disability or resignation of the Representative, the Corporation, or if dissolved at such time, the remaining Stockholders shall elect a new Representative who shall have full authority to take all actions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative under this Agreement. Prompt written notice of the election of a substitute Representative shall be provided to Buyer by the substitute Representative so elected, and Buyer shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any substitute Representative elected pursuant to the procedures set forth in this subsection 20(a).

(b) In addition to, and not in substitution of, the provisions set forth in subsection 20(a), the Corporation and each of the Stockholders hereby authorizes the Representative to take any and all actions (or not to take any or all actions), and/or to prepare, determine, calculate, negotiate, execute and deliver any and all agreements, notices, consents, determinations, documents and other instruments, which the Corporation or any such Stockholder (or the Representative on behalf of the Corporation of any such Stockholder) is required or permitted to take, prepare, determine, calculate, negotiate, execute and/or deliver under or pursuant to this Agreement and/or as contemplated by this Agreement, all in the name of and on the behalf of the Corporation or any such Stockholder, including, but not limited to, the making and execution of any amendments to this Agreement, the giving and receipt of any notices or consents pursuant hereto, the execution of any and all documents required to be executed in order to complete Closing hereunder or appropriate or incidental to so complete Closing hereunder, to calculate, determine, negotiate and give notice of or otherwise with respect to any adjustment to any issuance of Buyer Shares to be made pursuant to this Agreement, to accept service of process in connection with any claim related to this Agreement and to prosecute, defend or settle in the Representative’s discretion all indemnification disputes (including hiring of counsel and other litigation assistance). From and after the Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Representative with respect to any matter arising under this Agreement.

21. Miscellaneous.

(a) Indulgences, Etc. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.

- 37 -

(b) Controlling Law. This Agreement and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement (including, without limitation, provisions concerning limitations of actions), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, notwithstanding any conflict-of-laws doctrines of such state or other jurisdiction to the contrary, and without the aid of any canon, custom or rule of law requiring construction against the draftsman.

(c) Confidentiality; Public Announcements. From and after the Closing, the Corporation and the Stockholders will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to the Buyer or destroy, at the request and option of the Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are within the Corporation or the Stockholders’ possession. In the event that the Corporation or any of the Stockholders, as the case may be, is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Corporation or any such Stockholder shall notify the Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this subsection 20(c). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Corporation or any such Stockholder, as the case may be, is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the Corporation or any such Stockholder may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that such Stockholder shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the request of the Buyer at its sole expense, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Buyer shall designate. “Confidential Information” shall mean confidential information and trade secrets of the Corporation, including without limitation, (i) the identity, lists or descriptions of any customers, referral sources or organizations; (ii) financial statements, cost reports or other financial information; (iii) contracts proposals, or bidding information; (iv) business plans, product roadmaps and training operations, methods and manuals; (v) personnel records; and (vi) fee structure and management systems, policies or procedures, including related forms and manuals and (vii) any data, software, reports, formulae, drawings, sketches and other information disclosed by the Corporation to any Stockholder and was identified as confidential or proprietary in connection with such disclosure. The Representative shall consult with Buyer and Buyer shall consult with the Representative before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and any negotiations in connection therewith and, except as may be required under applicable law, as provided above, shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation.

(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares may be issued in connection with this Agreement. Any number of Buyer Shares which may be issued pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

(e) Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its own advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Asset Purchase Agreement and any documents or instrument contemplated in connection therewith.

(l) Section Headings. The Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.

(n) Number of Days. In computing the number of days for purposes of this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays; provided, however, that if the final day of any time period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday; then the final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or such Holiday.
