To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Buyer, as the case may be, and delivered to the relevant taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Buyer.

2.10 Calculation of Merger Consideration

(a) Payments at Closing. Buyer agrees to pay to Shareholders at the Closing the following aggregate consideration (the “Preliminary Merger Consideration”): (i) an amount in cash equal to $24,000,000; (ii) $5,000,000 in Subordinated Purchase Notes; and (iii) $7,300,000 in the form of 2,085,714 shares of Buyer Common Stock, (the “Buyer Stock Consideration”). Buyer agrees to deliver to the Escrow Agent, the Seller Indemnity Note. The Preliminary Merger Consideration shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.10(b) below.

(b) Determination of Actual Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand.

(i) Preliminary Statement. On the day prior to the Closing Date, Company will prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Preliminary Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Company’s determination and calculation of Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand. The Preliminary Statement will be prepared using the same accounting treatment and other methodology used by the Company in preparing the Company Financial Statements, and will in all respects be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company Financial Statements.

(ii) Closing Balance Sheet. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Shareholder Representative will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) setting forth in reasonable detail Shareholder Representative’s determination and calculation of Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand as of the Closing Date. The Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared using the same accounting treatment and other methodology used by the Company in preparing the Company Financial Statements, and will in all respects be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company Financial Statements.

(iii) Closing Statement Preparation and Review. If Buyer does not object to the calculation of Net Cash on Hand set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet within thirty-five (35) days after the Closing Date, or accepts such calculation in writing during such thirty-five (35) day period, the Closing Balance Sheet will become the final determination and calculation of the Actual Net Cash on Hand and payment will be made in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(v). If Buyer does not object to the calculation of Working Capital set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, or accepts such calculation in writing during such sixty (60) day period, the Closing Balance Sheet will become the final determination and calculation of the Actual Working Capital and payment will be made in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(v). If Buyer objects to the Closing Balance Sheet, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than thirty-five (35) days thereafter with respect to Net Cash on Hand, and no later than sixty (60) days thereafter with respect to Working Capital, Buyer will notify the Shareholder Representative in writing of such objection (a “Notice of Objection”). The Notice of Objection shall contain a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s determination and calculation of the Working Capital and the Net Cash on Hand, and identifying any adjustments to the Preliminary Merger Consideration as a result of such amounts being greater or less than the Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand set forth in the Preliminary Statement. The Closing Statement shall be prepared based on the books and records of Company using the same accounting treatment and other methodologies used by Company in preparing the Preliminary Statement.

(iv) Closing Statement Dispute Resolution. During the thirty (30) day period immediately following the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of any Notice of Objection, Buyer and the Shareholder Representative will negotiate in good faith to resolve all disputed items. If Buyer and the Shareholder Representative are unable to resolve all of such disputes within thirty (30) days of Shareholder Representative’s receipt of the Notice of Objection, the items in dispute may be referred by either such party for determination as promptly as practicable to an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Buyer and the Shareholder Representative (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall be jointly engaged by Buyer and the Shareholder Representative pursuant to an engagement letter in customary form which each of Buyer and the Shareholder Representative will execute. The parties will direct the Independent Accounting Firm to prescribe procedures for resolving the disputed items and to make a written determination, with respect to such disputed items only, whether and to what extent, if any, the accompanying calculations of the Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand require adjustment based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Determination”). The Determination will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by Buyer and the Shareholder Representative to the Independent Accounting Firm and not on the Independent Accounting Firm’s independent review; provided, that such presentations will be deemed to include any written reports, work papers, records, accounts or similar materials delivered to the Independent Accounting Firm by Buyer or the Shareholder Representative in connection with such presentations and any materials delivered to the Independent Accounting Firm in response to requests by the Independent Accounting Firm. In the absence of fraud or manifest error, the Determination will be conclusive and binding upon Buyer, the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders. The parties agree that, if the Independent Accounting Firm assigns to any item a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Buyer or the Shareholder Representative (the “Upper Limit”) or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer or the Shareholder Representative (the “Lower Limit”), the Determination for such item shall be adjusted to the Upper Limit or the Lower Limit, as applicable. If the value assigned by the Independent Accounting Firm to the Working Capital and Net Cash on Hand, taken together, is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the value assigned to such items by Shareholder Representative in the Closing Balance Sheet, then the expenses and fees of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be offset against the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Purchase Note, otherwise such expenses and fees will be borne by the Buyer.

(v) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Working Capital amount determined in accordance with Section 2.10(b) (the “Actual Working Capital”) and the Net Cash on Hand as determined in accordance with Section 2.10(b) (the “Actual Net Cash on Hand”) will be used to calculate any necessary post-Closing adjustments to the Preliminary Merger Consideration in order to arrive at the Merger Consideration. Any such post-Closing adjustments to the Preliminary Merger Consideration resulting from the Actual Net Cash on Hand being greater than or less than, as the case may be, the Target Net Cash on Hand shall be made on or before the later of (x) the fifth day after determination of the Actual Net Cash on Hand and (y) the date thirty-five (35) days after the Effective Time. Any such post-Closing adjustments to the Preliminary Merger Consideration resulting from the Actual Working Capital being greater than or less than, as the case may be, the Target Actual Working Capital shall be made on or before the later of (x) the fifth day after the determination of the Actual Working Capital and (y) the date one-hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date.

(A) Subject to subsection (D) below, if the Actual Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, Buyer will increase the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration by the amount of such difference.

(B) If the Actual Net Cash on Hand exceeds the Target Net Cash on Hand, Buyer will increase the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration by the amount of such difference.

(C) If the Target Working Capital exceeds the Actual Working Capital, the aggregate principal balance of the Subordinated Purchase Note shall be reduced by the amount of such difference.

(D) If the Target Net Cash on Hand exceeds the Actual Net Cash on Hand, Shareholders will pay to Buyer the amount of such difference in cash.

(E) The Preliminary Merger Consideration as finally adjusted in accordance with this Section 2.10(b) will be deemed to be the Merger Consideration.

2.11 Section 338(h)(10) Election

Buyer, Merger Sub and Company agree to treat the Merger as a “qualified stock purchase” of the Company Common Stock within the meaning of section 338(d)(3) of the Code and shall make a joint election under section 338(h)10) of the Code, and comparable state and local Tax provisions, with respect to such purchase (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). In connection with the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election, Buyer and Company have agreed to the allocation set forth in Annex II of the Merger Consideration among the assets of the Company that are deemed to have been acquired pursuant to section 338(h)(10) of the Code and comparable state and local Tax provisions.

ARTICLE 8
INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival of Representations, Etc.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all statements contained in this Agreement, any schedule or in any certificate or instrument of conveyance delivered by or on behalf of the parties pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by such party hereunder. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing Date until (and claims based upon or arising out of such representations and warranties, as well as any claims based upon or arising out of any covenants and agreements herein, may be asserted at any time before the date which shall be) the date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, provided that the representations and warranties of Company contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.5 shall survive forever, the representations of Buyer contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.6 shall survive forever, and the representations and warranties of Company contained in Section 3.21 shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations for the matters covered in such section. No investigation made by any of the parties hereto (whether prior to, on or after the Closing Date) shall in any way limit the representations and warranties of the parties. The termination of the representations and warranties provided herein shall not affect the rights of a party in respect of any claim properly given by such party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period provided herein.

8.2 Indemnification.

(a) General.

(i) Obligations of the Shareholders. Subsequent to the Closing and subject to Section 8.5, the Shareholders shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates, and each of their respective partners, officers, directors, employees, stockholders and agents (“Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from, any damage, claim, loss, cost, liability or expense, including without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation, response action, removal action or remedial action (collectively “Damages”) incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party, that are incident to, arise out of, in connection with, or related to, whether directly or indirectly, the breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of Company contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing Date pursuant to Section 8.1, and any and all Damages incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 8.2. The term “Damages” as used in this Section 8.2 is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against Buyer Indemnified Parties, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by such persons in the absence of third party claims.

(ii) Obligations of Buyer. Subsequent to the Closing, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Shareholders and each of their respective heirs, partners, officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold each of the Company Indemnified Parties harmless from, any Damages incurred by such Company Indemnified Party, that are incident to, arise out of, in connection with, or related to, whether directly or indirectly, the breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing Date pursuant to Section 8.1, and any and all Damages incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 8.2.

(b) Procedure for Claims between Parties. Any Buyer Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party (in either case, the “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification hereunder shall, within the relevant limitation period provided for in Section 8.1 above, give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third party as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; and provided further, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure. In the case of a Buyer Indemnified Party, the Claim Notice shall be delivered to the Shareholder Representative.

The Indemnitor shall have ninety (90) days after the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice and to pay such amount to such Indemnified Party or (ii) to provide such Indemnified Party with notice that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after the giving of the Dispute Notice, a representative of Indemnitor and such Indemnified Party shall negotiate in a bona fide attempt to resolve the matter. In the event that the controversy is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the giving of the Dispute Notice, either party may commence an action in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6.

(c) Defense of Third Party Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any Indemnified Party and a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnitor under this Section 8.2, written notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnitor as promptly as practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor demonstrates it was actually prejudiced by such failure. After such notice, if the Indemnitor shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party that it shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, or that it will defend such lawsuit or action under a reservation of rights, then it shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnitor’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, unless such compromise or settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, in which case no consent shall be required. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitor and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the notice of claim, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnitor) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnitor’s cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such compromise or settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, in which case no consent shall be required. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Shareholders’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnitor shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8.2 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Indemnitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.

8.3 No Right of Contribution

After the Closing, no Shareholder shall have any right of contribution against the Surviving Corporation for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Company.

8.4 Exclusive Remedy

The remedies set forth in this Article 8 are the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto for any action arising under this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, provided that these limitations will not impair, alter or in any way affect the rights of any party with respect to any Damages resulting from fraud.

8.5 Threshold; Limitations on Indemnity

(a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer on the one hand, and the Shareholders on the other hand, will not be liable for any Damages suffered by the other party unless and until the aggregate Damages suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party exceeds $100,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold”); provided, however, that once the amount of Damages exceeds the Indemnification Threshold, then the Shareholders shall be liable for the full amount of all Damages including the amount of the Indemnification Threshold.

(b) Subject to the following sentence, the total recourse of the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Shareholders for Damages pursuant to this Article 8 shall be limited to $1,200,000, and indemnity claims shall be made solely by offset against the Holdback Escrow (or Holdback Shares, if applicable), pro rata against all Shareholders in proportion to the percentage of the Holdback Escrow (or Holdback Shares, if applicable) held by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of each Shareholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer Indemnified Parties may make Damage claims in excess of $1,200,000 for Damages (i) arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and 3.21 (which Damages shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the cash portion of the total Merger Consideration hereunder), or (ii) resulting from fraud on the part of a Shareholder (which Damages shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the cash portion of the total Merger Consideration received by such Shareholder hereunder).

(i) each Holdback Share shall be valued at the higher of (x) $3.50 per share, and (y) the twenty (20) day weighted average trading price of Buyer Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the date upon which the Damages claim is made; and

(ii) the number of Holdback Shares and the value per share shall be adjusted as equitably required to take into account stock splits, reverse stock splits and stock dividends completed by the Buyer after the Effective Time but prior to the payment of a Damage claim.

(d) Other than such number of Holdback Shares (or such amount of the Holdback Escrow) as may be reasonably required to resolve Damages claims that are pending on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effective Time, the balance of the Holdback Shares or Holdback Escrow, as the case may be, shall be released to the Shareholders on such eighteen (18) month anniversary.

ARTICLE 9

Any delivery by the Shareholder Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other document executed by the Shareholder Representative will bind the Signing Shareholders by such documents or action as fully as if such Signing Shareholder had executed and delivered such documents. This appointment and power of attorney shall be deemed an agency coupled with an interest and all authority conferred hereby shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to termination by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of any Signing Shareholder or the occurrence of any other event or events.

(b) Indemnification of the Shareholder Representative.

(f) Release by Signing Shareholders. Effective automatically at the Effective Time, each Signing Shareholder (and, if applicable, such party in his or her capacity as an officer, manager, employee and/or director of Company) hereby fully releases and discharges each other Signing Shareholder (including, if applicable, such party in his or her capacity as an officer, manager, employee and/or director of Company) (the “Released Parties”) from all rights, claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity, or otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed (“Claims”), which such Signing Shareholder (and, if applicable, such party in his or her capacity as an employee, officer and/or director of Company) now or as of the Effective Time has against any of the Released Parties, arising out of or relating to events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.
