No later than (15) days following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to each Seller, an amount in cash equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Deferred Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account such Seller has designated in writing to the Buyer prior to such date; provided, however, that to the extent such Seller has any outstanding and unpaid indemnification obligations to any Buyer Indemnified Party under Article X or any unpaid obligations to the Buyer for the Net Asset Value Adjustment, then an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate Claims for Losses and (y) the aggregate unpaid Net Asset Value Adjustment shall be withheld by the Buyer for such purposes and the remainder of such Seller’s amount calculated pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) shall be paid to such Seller.

2.3 Earn-Out Payments.

(a) In addition to the Closing Purchase Price and the Deferred Purchase Price, each Seller shall be eligible to receive his Pro Rata Share of one or more earn-out payments (“Earn-Out Payments”) upon achievement by the Company of Adjusted EBIT as follows (it being understood that the aggregate Earn-Out Payment paid to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed $6,160,000 under any circumstances):

(i) If the Company achieves $2,000,000 of Adjusted EBIT (the “Year 1 Adjusted EBIT Target”) or more during the period beginning on June 1, 2008 and ending on the last day of the Buyer’s second fiscal quarter of 2009 (such period, “Year 1”), the Earn-Out Payment for Year 1 will be $1,500,000 (the “Year 1 Payment Target”).

(ii) If the Company achieves $2,500,000 of Adjusted EBIT (the “Year 2 Adjusted EBIT Target”) or more during the period beginning on the first day after the last day of Year 1 and ending on the last day of the Buyer’s second fiscal quarter of 2010 (such period, “Year 2”), the Earn-Out Payment for Year 2 will be $2,000,000 (the “Year 2 Payment Target”); provided, that in the event that the Company did not achieve the Year 1 Adjusted EBIT Target or the Year 2 Adjusted EBIT Target, but the Company’s cumulative Adjusted EBIT for Year 1 and Year 2 is $4,500,000 (the “Year 2 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target”) or more, an Earn-Out Payment shall be made equal to the sum of: (x) the Year 1 Payment Target, plus (y) the Year 2 Payment Target (the “Year 2 Cumulative Payment Target”), minus (z) any Earn-Out Payment previously received for Year 1.

(iii) If the Company achieves $3,000,000 of Adjusted EBIT (the “Year 3 Adjusted EBIT Target”) or more during the period beginning on the first day after the last day of Year 2 and ending on the last day of the Buyer’s second fiscal quarter of 2011 (such period, “Year 3”), the Earn-Out Payment for Year 3 shall be $2,500,000 (the “Year 3 Payment Target”); provided, that in the event that the Company did not achieve the Year 1 Adjusted EBIT Target, the Year 2 Adjusted EBIT Target and/or the Year 3 Adjusted EBIT Target, but the Company’s cumulative Adjusted EBIT for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 is $7,500,000 (the “Year 3 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target”) or more, an Earn-Out Payment shall be made equal to the sum of: (w) the Year 1 Payment Target, plus (x) the Year 2 Payment Target, plus (y) the Year 3

Payment Target (the “Year 3 Cumulative Payment Target”), minus (z) any Earn-Out Payment previously received for Year 1 and Year 2.

(iv) If the Company’s cumulative Adjusted EBIT for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 is $7,700,000 (the “Final Adjusted EBIT Target”) or more, an additional Earn-Out Payment shall be made equal to $160,000 (the “Final Earn-Out Payment”).

(v) In the event that the Company achieves less than 100% of the Annual Adjusted EBIT Target or the Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target, as applicable, designated for any Earn-Out Year, the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year shall be adjusted as follows:

(1) If the Company achieves Adjusted EBIT during a given Earn-Out Year equal to 70% or more of the applicable Annual Adjusted EBIT Target for such Earn-Out Year, then the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year shall be an amount equal to the Annual Payment Target for such Earn-Out Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual Adjusted EBIT achieved by the Company for such Earn-Out Year, and the denominator of which is the Annual Adjusted EBIT Target for such Earn-Out Year. For example, if the Company’s Adjusted EBIT for Year 2 is $2,000,000 (i.e., 80% of the Year 2 Adjusted EBIT Target), the Earn-Out Payment would be $1,600,000 (i.e., 80% of the Year 2 Payment Target).

(2) If the Company achieves cumulative Adjusted EBIT for Year 1 and Year 2 equal to 70% or more of the Year 2 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target, then an Earn-Out Payment shall be made in an amount equal to (x) the Year 2 Cumulative Payment Target multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the actual Adjusted EBIT achieved by the Company for Year 1 and Year 2 and the denominator of which is the Year 2 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target minus (z) any Earn-Out Payment previously received for Year 1. For example, if the Company’s Adjusted EBIT for Year 1 and Year 2 is $3,600,000 (i.e., 80% of the Year 2 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target), the Earn-Out Payment would be 80% of the Year 2 Cumulative Payment Target less any Earn-Out Payments previously received for Year 1.

(3) If the Company achieves cumulative Adjusted EBIT for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 equal to 70% or more of the Year 3 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target, then an Earn-Out Payment shall be made in an amount equal to (x) the Year 3 Cumulative Payment Target multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the actual Adjusted EBIT achieved by the Company for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 and the denominator of which is the Year 3 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target minus (z) any Earn-Out Payments previously received for Year 1 and Year 2. For example, if the Company’s Adjusted EBIT for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 is $6,000,000 (i.e., 80% of the Year 3 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target), the Earn-Out Payment would be 80% of the Year 3 Cumulative Payment Target less any Earn-Out Payments previously received for Year 1 and Year 2.

(4) If the Company achieves Adjusted EBIT during a given Earn-Out Year equal to less than 70% but 50% or more of the applicable Annual Adjusted

EBIT Target for such Earn-Out Year, then the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year shall be an amount equal to:

APT – 0.7 –

where:

APT = Annual Payment Target;

AE = actual Adjusted EBIT achieved by the Company for such Earn-Out Year;

and

AET = Annual Adjusted EBIT Target.

(5) If the Company achieves cumulative Adjusted EBIT for Year 1 and Year 2 equal to an amount less than 70% but 50% or more of the Year 2 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target, then an Earn-Out Payment shall be made in an amount equal to:

CPT2 – 0.7 – - CEP2

where:

CPT2 = Year 2 Cumulative Payment Target;

ACE = actual cumulative Adjusted EBIT achieved by the Company for Year 1 and Year 2;

CET2 = Year 2 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target;

and

CEP2 = Earn-Out Payment received for Year 1.

(6) If the Company achieves cumulative Adjusted EBIT for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 equal to an amount less than 70% but 50% or more of the Year 3 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target, then an Earn-Out Payment shall be made in an amount equal to:

CPT3 – 0.7 – - CEP3

where:

CPT3	=	Year 3 Cumulative Payment Target;

ACE	=	actual cumulative Adjusted EBIT achieved by the Company for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3;

CET3	=	Year 3 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target;

and

CEP3	=	Earn-Out Payments received for Year 1 and Year 2.

(7) If the Company achieves Adjusted EBIT during a given Earn-Out Year that is less than 50% of the applicable Annual Adjusted EBIT Target, the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year shall be zero.

(8) If the Company achieves cumulative Adjusted EBIT for Year 1 and Year 2 equal to an amount less than 50% of the Year 2 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target, then no Earn-Out Payment shall be made for the cumulative Adjusted EBIT achieved for Year 1 and Year 2.

(9) If the Company achieves cumulative Adjusted EBIT for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 equal to an amount less than 50% of the Year 3 Cumulative Adjusted EBIT Target, then no Earn-Out Payment shall be made for the cumulative Adjusted EBIT achieved for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company achieves less than 100% of the Final Adjusted EBIT Target, the Sellers shall not be entitled to any portion of the Final Earn-Out Payment.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the end of each Earn-Out Year (but no later than forty-five (45) days after such date), the Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers a statement setting forth the Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Adjusted EBIT of the Company for such Earn-Out Year (the “Adjusted EBIT Statement”). Such calculation shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the illustrative calculation of Adjusted EBIT set forth on Exhibit A hereto. The Buyer shall, and shall cause its representatives (including outside auditors) to, make available to Sellers the books, records, work papers, personnel used or involved in the preparation of the Adjusted EBIT Statement. If the Sellers disagree with the Buyer’s calculation in the Adjusted EBIT Statement delivered pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), the Sellers may, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Adjusted EBIT Statement, deliver a notice to the Buyer disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth the Seller’s calculation of such amount. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which the Sellers disagree. If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the Sellers and the Buyer shall, during the ten (10) days after such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the Adjusted EBIT of the Company, which amount shall not be more than the amount thereof shown in the Sellers’ calculation delivered pursuant to this

Section 2.3(b). If following such period, the Sellers and the Buyer are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter (and in any event within twenty (20) days of the end of such 10-day period) cause a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to them (the “Accounting Referee”) to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Adjusted EBIT of the Company (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). The Accounting Referee shall deliver to the Sellers and the Buyer as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer. The cost of such review shall be borne equally by the Sellers and the Buyer. The Buyer and the Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, and the Buyer shall cause the Company and its respective representatives (including outside auditors) to, cooperate and assist in the determination of the Adjusted EBIT and in the conduct of the review set forth in this Section 2.3(b), including making available, to the extent necessary, books, records, work papers and personnel. The Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers, as soon as reasonably practicable, a monthly unaudited statement of operations of the Company for each month during an Earn-Out Year.

(c) Each Earn-Out Payment that is earned by Sellers in accordance with this Section 2.3 shall be paid by the Buyer to the Sellers within the later of: (i) sixty (60) days following the end of the applicable Earn-Out Year and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the Adjusted EBIT for the applicable Earn-Out Year has been conclusively determined in accordance with Section 2.3(b) above. The Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay up to 50% of any Earn-Out Payment in Willdan Shares based on the Fair Market Value per share; provided, that if the Market Capitalization of the Buyer at the time of the Earn-Out Payment is less than $57,000,000 or greater than $86,000,000, then the Buyer may not pay any portion of such Earn-Out Payment in Willdan Shares without the prior written consent of the Sellers; provided further, that if Willdan Shares are not traded on a United States national securities exchange or reported through NASDAQ as of the end of the applicable Earn-Out Year, then the Buyer may not pay any portion of such Earn-Out Payment in Willdan Shares without the prior written consent of the Sellers; provided further, that if the Average Daily Trading Volume of Willdan Shares as of the end of the applicable Earn-Out Year is less than 0.42% of the then-issued and outstanding Willdan Shares, the Buyer may not pay more than 25% of such Earn-Out Payment in Willdan Shares without the prior written consent of the Sellers; and provided further, that in no event shall the Buyer issue the number of Willdan Shares to either Seller (individually or together with other Persons with whom such Seller has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving the Willdan Shares) that would result in such Persons acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.9% of the Willdan Shares or the voting power of the Buyer immediately following the issuance, if any, of any such Willdan Shares (such limitation, the “Share Cap”). The remaining Earn-Out Payment shall be paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts the Sellers have designated in writing to the Buyer prior to such payment date.

(d) The Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that in no event will any business decision of the Buyer that affects the operations of the Company have any bearing on the Buyer’s obligations under this Section 2.3. In no event shall the aggregate Earn-Out Payment for any Earn-Out Year exceed the greater of the Annual Payment Target or the

Cumulative Payment Target, as applicable, for such Earn-Out Year. All of the Buyer’s Earn-Out obligations are subject to offset as set forth in Section 10.7.

2.4 Net Asset Value Adjustment.

(a) The Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer a statement setting forth the Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Net Asset Value of the Company as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Asset Value”) (as illustrated on Schedule 1.1(a) hereto), which statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis with the Company’s pre-Closing methodologies used in preparation of monthly unaudited balance sheets, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation for such calculation.

(b) If the Estimated Net Asset Value is:

(1) Greater than $750,000 (the “Target Net Asset Value”), the Closing Purchase Price shall be increased by a dollar amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Asset Value and the Target Net Asset Value; or

(2) Less than the Target Net Asset Value, the Closing Purchase Price shall be decreased by a dollar amount equal to the difference between the Target Net Asset Value and the Estimated Net Asset Value.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the Closing (but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer a statement setting forth the Sellers’ good faith calculation of the Net Asset Value of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Net Asset Value”). Such calculation shall be based upon an unaudited balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the exceptions to GAAP as set forth on Schedule 2.4(c)), applied on a consistent basis with the Company’s pre-Closing methodologies in the preparation of monthly unaudited balance sheets (as illustrated on Schedule 1.1(a) hereto). If the Buyer disagrees with the Sellers’ calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value delivered pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), the Buyer may, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the statement containing the Closing Net Asset Value, deliver a notice to the Sellers disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth the Buyer’s calculation of such amount. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which the Buyer disagrees. If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), the Sellers and the Buyer shall, during the twenty (20) days after such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of the Closing Net Asset Value, which amount shall not be more than the amount thereof shown in the Sellers’ calculation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) nor less than the amount thereof shown in the Buyer’s calculation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.4(c). If during such period, the Sellers and the Buyer are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter (and in any event within twenty (20) days of the end of such 10-day period) cause an Accounting Referee to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Closing Net Asset Value (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall be functioning as an

expert and not as an arbitrator). The Accounting Referee shall deliver to the Sellers and the Buyer as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer. The cost of such review shall be borne equally by the Sellers, on the one hand and the Buyer, on the other hand. The Buyer and the Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, and the Buyer shall cause the Company and its respective representatives (including outside auditors) to, cooperate and assist in the determination of the Closing Net Asset Value and in the conduct of the review set forth in this Section 2.4, including making available, to the extent necessary, books, records, work papers and personnel.

(d) If the Net Asset Value as conclusively determined as provided in Sections 2.4(c) (the “Final Net Asset Value”) is:

(1) Greater than the Target Net Asset Value, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers, in the manner provided in Section 2.4(e), the amount equal to the difference between the Final Net Asset Value and the Target Net Asset Value, minus the amount of any Closing Purchase Price increase made at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(1) or plus the amount of any Closing Purchase Price decrease made at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(2); provided, however, that if the amount determined pursuant to this clause (d)(1) is a negative number, the Sellers shall pay the absolute value of such amount to the Buyer; or

(2) Less than the Target Net Asset Value, the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer, in the manner provided in Section 2.4(e), the amount equal to the difference between the Target Net Asset Value and the Final Net Asset Value, minus the amount of any Closing Purchase Price decrease made at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(2) or plus the amount of any Closing Purchase Price increase made at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(1); provided, however, that if the amount determined pursuant to this clause (d)(2) is a negative number, the Buyer shall pay the absolute value of such amount to the Sellers; or

(e) Any payment pursuant to Section 2.4(d) shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place within five (5) Business Days after Final Net Asset Value has been determined pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

The Sellers agree to cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to, the Buyer, including providing and consenting to any required disclosure, in connection with any filings, registration statements or reports of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.4 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Restrictions on Competitive Activities. Each Seller agrees that, after the Closing, the Buyer, the Company and their Subsidiaries shall be entitled to the goodwill and going concern value of the Business and to protect and preserve the same to the maximum extent permitted by Law. Each Seller also acknowledges that his management contributions to the Business have been uniquely valuable and involve proprietary information that would be competitively unfair to make available to any competitor of the Company or its Subsidiaries. For these and other reasons and as an inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each Seller agrees that (x) for a period of four (4) years after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), each Seller will not, directly or indirectly, for its own benefit or as agent for another

carry on or participate in the ownership, management or control of, or the financing of, or be employed by, or consult for or otherwise render services or advice to, or allow its name or reputation to be used in or by, any other present or future business enterprise that competes with the Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries in activities in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is engaged as of the Closing Date in any of the business territories in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is conducting business or is actively engaged in the pursuit of business or has conducted business within the prior five (5) years (the “Covered Area”).

(b) Restrictions on Soliciting Customers. Each Seller agrees that during the applicable Restricted Period, such Seller will not, directly or indirectly (i) induce, entice, or solicit any client or customer of the Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries to terminate any contractual or business relationship with the Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries, or (ii) in any other manner use any client or customer lists or client or customer leads, mail, telephone numbers, client preferences, or printed material of the Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries to the detriment of the Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries.

(c) Restrictions on Soliciting Employees. In addition to the foregoing covenants, to protect the Buyer against any efforts by the Sellers to cause employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate their employment, each Seller agrees that during the applicable Restricted Period, such Seller will not, directly or indirectly, (i) induce, entice or solicit any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries to leave the Company or its Subsidiaries or to accept any other employment or position, or (ii) make referrals to, or otherwise assist, any other entity in hiring any such employee; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prohibit general solicitations of employment not specifically directed toward Continuing Employees or the hiring of such employees in response thereto, nor the hiring, employment or engagement of any Continuing Employee who presents himself or herself for employment without direct or indirect solicitation by any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller.

(d) Exceptions. Nothing contained herein shall limit the right of any Seller as an investor to hold and make investments in securities of any corporation or limited partnership that is registered on a national securities exchange or admitted to trading privileges thereon or actively traded in a generally recognized over-the-counter market, provided such Seller’s equity interest therein does not exceed one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding shares or interests in such corporation or partnership.

(e) Special Remedies and Enforcement. Each Seller recognizes and agrees that a breach by such Seller of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.4 could cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, that the Buyer’s remedies at Law in the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, in the event of such breach a restraining order or injunction or both may be issued against such Seller, in addition to any other rights and remedies which are available to the Buyer. If this Section 6.4 is more restrictive than permitted by the Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Buyer seeks enforcement hereof, this Section 6.4 shall be limited to the extent required to permit enforcement under such Laws.

(f) Severability. The parties intend that the covenants contained in Sections 6.4(a)-(c) hereof shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county, city,

state, nation, and other political subdivision. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed otherwise identical in terms. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be deemed eliminated from this Section 6.4 for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced by such court. It is the intent of the parties that the covenants set forth in this Agreement be enforced to the maximum degree permitted by applicable Law.

(g) Representations of Sellers. Each Seller represents that: (i) he is familiar with the covenants set forth in this Agreement; (ii) he is fully aware of his obligations under this Agreement, including the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of these covenants; (iii) he is receiving specific, bargained-for consideration for his covenants not to compete and not to solicit; and (iv) execution of this Agreement, and performance of such Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.4, will not conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, any other agreement to which the Seller is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Seller is subject.

(h) Reasonableness of Terms. Each Seller acknowledges that the length, scope of activity and geographic coverage to which the restrictions imposed in Sections 6.4(a)-(c) hereof shall apply are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Buyer, the Company and their Subsidiaries, including but not limited to protecting the Company’s confidential, proprietary and trade secret information, the stable workforce maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries, the relationships the Company and its Subsidiaries maintain with their customers, and the goodwill in the Company and its Subsidiaries acquired by the Buyer. Each Seller further acknowledges that the Company currently does business, is actively engaged in the pursuit of business or has conducted business within the prior five (5) years in the Covered Area.

6.5 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action.

If, at any time after the Closing Date, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Buyer with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of the Buyer are fully authorized in the name of the Buyer or otherwise to take, and will take, all such actions at the Buyer’s expense.

6.6 Director and Officer Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees that all rights to indemnification and all limitations of liability existing in favor of the present and former directors and officers of the Company (the “Indemnified Ds&Os”) as provided in the Company’s Charter Documents as in effect as of the date hereof shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of four (4) years from the Closing Date to the extent such rights are consistent with California Law; provided, that in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made within such four-year period all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of any and all such claims and provided further, that nothing in this Section 6.6 shall impair any rights or obligations of any present or former directors or officers of the Company.

6.7 Operation of the Company.

During each Earn-Out Year, the Buyer shall maintain the separate corporate existence of the Company. Buyer shall provide the Company with financial resources and other support in a manner consistent with the Buyer’s past practices in providing financial resources and other support to its Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE VII
EMPLOYEE MATTERS

7.1 Health and Benefit Plans.

(a) Within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Continuing Employees as listed on Schedule 7.1 (provided such Continuing Employees are employed by the Buyer or Company on the Closing Date) shall be covered by the employee benefit plans, programs, and policies established or maintained by the Buyer applicable to similarly situated employees of the Buyer (the “Buyer’s Plans”); provided that such Continuing Employees shall not be eligible to be covered by Buyer’s 401(k) plan until January 1, 2009. After the transition to the Buyer’s Plans, Buyer agrees to maintain availability of coverage under the Buyer’s Plans for Continuing Employees (so long as such Continuing Employee is employed by the Buyer or the Company) on the same basis and terms and conditions as for similarly situated employees of the Buyer. Nothing contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Article VII) shall (i) amend, or be deemed to amend, any of Buyer’s Plans, (ii) provide any person not a party to this Agreement with any right, benefit or remedy with regard to any of Buyer’s Plans or a right to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or (iii) limit in any way Buyer’s ability to amend or terminate any of Buyer’s Plans, at any time.

(b) The Buyer shall cause each group health plan of the Buyer or, with respect to an insured plan, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the insurer, to waive any pre-existing condition exclusions thereunder with respect to the Continuing Employees and their covered beneficiaries to the extent that such Continuing Employees are enrolled in the applicable group health plan of the Company as of the Closing Date.

(c) For purposes of this Article VII, Continuing Employees shall receive credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and for vesting and benefit accruals under the Buyer’s employee benefit plans, programs and policies for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Closing Date with the Company; provided, however, that such prior service credit shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit.

7.2 Mutual Cooperation.

The Sellers and the Buyer agree, in a complete, diligent and timely manner, to exchange such employee census, actuarial or other data as shall be reasonably necessary to calculate benefits under any plan and to take any and all actions as shall be reasonably necessary or advisable to effect the provisions of this Article VII.

7.3 Third-Party Claims.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies by reason of this Article VII.

Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.

(c) Buyer shall cause the Company to pay to Sellers any refund received by or credit applied to the Company after the Closing Date with respect to Company’s Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period within fifteen (15) days after such receipt or application, net of any Taxes imposed upon the Company by reason of the receipt of such refund or the application of such credit.

The Sellers and the Buyer shall cooperate in all respects for the purpose of effectuating the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, including the execution and filing of any required Tax Returns and the grant of consent to the Section 338(h)(10) Elections by the Sellers.

The allocation of the Aggregate Deemed Sales Price shall be in accordance with the fair market value of the acquired assets as provided in Section 1060 of the Code. The Buyer shall have the right to review the Allocation Statement. Within forty-five (45) days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Allocation Statement, the Buyer shall indicate its concurrence therewith, or propose to the Sellers any changes to the Allocation Statement. The Buyer’s failure to notify the Sellers of any objection to the Allocation Statement within forty-five (45) days after receipt thereof shall constitute the Buyer’s concurrence therewith. Should the Buyer propose any change to the Allocation Statement, the Buyer and the Sellers shall resolve any disagreement regarding the Allocation Statement in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4(c).

Thereafter, Sellers and Buyer shall follow the same procedures contained in Section 8.3(b) in finalizing the revised Allocation Statement. The allocation so determined shall be binding on the parties, and all Tax Returns filed by the Buyer, the Sellers, and each of their Affiliates, if any, shall be prepared consistently with such

allocation, and none of them shall take a position on any Tax Return or other form or statement contrary to such allocation (unless required to do so by Law).

8.5 Tax Audits; Amended Return.

(a) Any Tax audits or proceedings of the Company and its Subsidiaries for Tax periods ending prior to or on the Closing Date will be controlled by the Sellers; provided that the Buyer may participate in any such Tax audits or proceedings and if the results of such Tax audit or proceeding could reasonably be expected to result in a payment obligation by, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on, the Buyer, then the Buyer and the Sellers shall jointly control the defense and settlement of any such Tax audit or proceeding and each party shall cooperate with the other party at its own expense and there shall be no settlement or closing or other agreement with respect thereto without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Upon the terms set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement, the Sellers and the Buyer will provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing and executing any Tax Return, which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing, participating in or conducting any audit or other

proceeding in respect of Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying Schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax authorities.

10.1 Obligations of Indemnification.

(a) Each Seller, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its directors, officers, agents, representatives and Affiliates and their successors and assigns (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from (i) the breach of any of such Seller’s representations or warranties made by such Seller in Article III, and (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by such Seller contained in this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 10.4, each Seller severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from, without duplication, (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company contained in Article IV; (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company contained in this Agreement; and (iii) any Pre-Closing Taxes.

(c) Subject to Section 10.4, the Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective directors, partners, officers, agents, representatives and Affiliates and their successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and together with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer contained in Article V, and (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by the Buyer contained in this Agreement.

10.2 Procedure.

An Indemnified Party shall give the Person who may be responsible for indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given rise to, or has received a written notice of a bona fide Claim of a third party that could give rise to, a Loss under this Agreement (a “Claim”), as promptly as possible, but in any event within thirty (30) days of such determination; provided, however, that any failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such Claim Notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Each Claim Notice shall provide the assertion of any Claim in reasonable detail, including specific identification of the obligation to indemnify under Section 10.1 (including a section reference to breached representation or covenant, if applicable) and a good faith estimate of the Losses being claimed. Upon receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Claim at its expense if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of such Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, after consultation with counsel, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is necessary, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Claim.

10.3 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Company contained in this Agreement shall survive for eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Qualification of the Sellers), 3.2 (Stock Ownership by the Sellers), 3.3 (Authorization; Enforceability), 4.1 (Organization and Qualification of the Company), 4.2 (Capitalization), 4.3 (Authorization; Enforceability) and 4.18 (No Brokers or Finders) shall survive the Closing indefinitely, (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 4.7 (Taxes) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period, (iii) the representations and warranties in Section 4.16 (Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA) shall survive the Closing for three (3) years from the Closing Date, and (iv) the representations and warranties in Section 4.20 (Environmental Matters) shall survive for five (5) years following the Closing Date (each representation and warranty set forth in subsections (i) through (iv), a “Sellers’ Specified Representation”). Sellers’ indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10.1(b)(iii) (Pre-Closing Taxes) shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period. The Sellers are not required to make any indemnification payment hereunder unless a Claim is initiated prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 10.3(a), except with respect to Claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Sellers or the Company.

(b) The representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive for eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in Sections 5.1 (Organization and Authority of the Buyer; Enforceability) shall survive the Closing indefinitely (each such representation and warranty, a “Buyer’s Specified Representation”). The Buyer is not required to make any indemnification payment hereunder unless a Claim is initiated prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 10.3(b), except with respect to Claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Buyer.

(c) Any matter as to which a Claim has been asserted by notice to the other party that is pending or unresolved at the end of any applicable limitation period shall continue to be covered by this Article X notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations (which the parties hereby waive) until such matter is finally terminated or otherwise resolved by the parties under this Agreement or by a court of competent jurisdiction and any amounts payable hereunder are finally determined and paid.

(d) All of the covenants made by each party in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein until the time specified in each such covenant.

10.4 Indemnity Cushion, Cap and Allocation.

(a) The Sellers shall not have any liability to any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to Losses arising out of any of the matters referred to in Section 10.1(b) until such time as the amount of all such Losses shall collectively exceed $100,000 (the “Sellers’

Deductible”) (after which point the Sellers will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against Losses in excess of the Sellers’ Deductible).

(b) Subject to the next sentence, the aggregate dollar amount of all payments the Sellers shall be obligated to make pursuant to this Article X shall not exceed $3,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to Claims in respect of the breach by any Seller or the Company of any representations and warranties in Sections 4.7 (Taxes), or any covenants in Sections 8.1 through 8.7, for which Claims the aggregate dollar amount of all payments the Sellers and the Company shall be obligated to make pursuant to this Article X shall not be subject to any limitation, (ii) the aggregate dollar amount of all payments the Sellers shall be obligated to make pursuant to this Article X in respect of the breach by any Seller or the Company of any representations and warranties in 4.16 (Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA) shall not exceed $8,000,000, and (iii) the aggregate dollar amount of all payments the Sellers shall be obligated to make pursuant to this Article X in respect of the breach by any Seller or the Company of any representations and warranties in Section 4.20 (Environmental Matters) shall not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(c) The Buyer shall not have any liability to any Seller Indemnified Party with respect to Losses arising out of any of the matters referred to in Section 10.1(c) until such time as the amount of all such Losses shall collectively exceed $100,000 (the “Buyer’s Deductible”) (after which point the Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against Losses in excess of the Buyer’s Deductible).

(d) The aggregate dollar amount of all payments the Buyer shall be obligated to make pursuant to this Article X shall not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(e) For purposes of determining several liability under this Article X, the aggregate liability of any Loss hereunder shall be allocated among the Sellers solely based on their pro rata share of the Aggregate Purchase Price, whether or not any amounts are received by such Sellers. For instance, if the Company’s breach of a representation results in $1,000,000 of Losses to the Buyer, a Seller who is allocated 50% of the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be liable for 50% of such Losses (i.e., $500,000). In no event shall the actions or fault of any particular Seller change the pro rata liability allocation described in this Section 10.4(e).

10.5 Exclusive Remedy.

OTHER THAN RIGHTS TO EQUITABLE RELIEF PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 6.4 OR CLAIMS FOR FRAUD TO THE EXTENT AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE SELLERS, ON BEHALF OF HIMSELF AND EACH OF THE OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OF EACH OF THE SELLERS, AND THE BUYER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OF THE OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OF THE BUYER, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OR INACCURACY, OR ALLEGED BREACH OR INACCURACY, OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, SHALL BE INDEMNIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARTICLE X.

10.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

Each of the Sellers and the Buyer agree to treat all payments made by any of them to or for the benefit of the other (including any payments to the Company) under this Article X as adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof.

10.7 Offset.

Amounts otherwise due to the Sellers pursuant to Sections 2.2(c) and 2.3, shall be available to fund amounts due to the Buyer under this Article X. To the extent the Buyer has made a Claim for indemnification before a payment is due under Sections 2.2(c) and 2.3, and such Claim is not resolved, the Buyer shall be permitted to withhold from such payment, and any subsequent payments, until such Claim is resolved, a reasonable amount as a reserve to cover the potential indemnification obligations of the Sellers with respect to such Claim. Any amounts withheld by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 10.7, other than amounts otherwise owed by Sellers to satisfy Sellers’ indemnification obligations under this Agreement, shall be promptly released to Sellers following the resolution of any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the Buyer’s right to offset under this Section 10.7 is not the Buyer’s exclusive remedy and (ii) neither the exercise nor non-exercise of the Buyer’s rights to offset under this Section 10.7 will constitute an election of remedies or limit the Buyer in any way in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it under this Agreement.

11.10 Expenses.

Each party to this Agreement shall each pay such party’s own expenses incident to the negotiation, preparation and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions, including but not limited to the fees, expenses and disbursements of their accountants, financial advisors and counsel, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred; provided that any expenses of the Company incurred prior to or at the Closing shall be the obligation of the Sellers and any expenses of the Company incurred after the Closing shall be the obligation of the Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Agreement, or the other Transactional Agreements in connection herewith, or the enforcement of any provision of such items is brought against any party hereto pursuant to Article X above, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other damages or relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).

11.11 Arbitration.

(a) In the event the parties to this Agreement are unable to resolve a disputed claim or claims, any of the parties may request arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration will not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or all parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter will be settled by arbitration conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Within thirty (30) days of a party requesting arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.11, the Buyer

and the Sellers will each select one (1) arbitrator, and, within ten (10) days of such selection, the two (2) arbitrators so selected will select a third arbitrator. The arbitrators will set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators will rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and will have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent as a court of competent Law or equity, should the arbitrators determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of a majority of the three (3) arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim will be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision will be written and will be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which will set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrators.

(b) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration will be held in Anaheim, CA, or such other location as the parties may mutually agree, under the rules then in effect of JAMS/ Endispute.

11.12 Time of the Essence.

Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the terms hereof with respect to the obligations and rights of each party hereto

11.13 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any Governmental Entity, the remaining provisions of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Law shall remain in full force and effect; provided that the essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for all parties remain valid, binding and enforceable. In event of any such determination, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to fulfill as closely as possible the original intents and purposes hereof. To the extent permitted by Law, the parties hereby to the same extent waive any provision of Law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

11.14 Counterparts.

This Agreement and any amendment hereto or any other agreement (or document) delivered pursuant hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts. All of such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement (or other document) and shall become effective (unless otherwise provided therein) when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party.
