1.9 As soon as practicable, but not later than 150 days after the Closing Date, the Shareholders will furnish to Buyer a calculation of the Excess Tax reflecting the Excess Tax payable by Buyer to any Shareholder, or refundable by any Shareholder to Buyer (the “Tax Calculation”). Within 5 days from delivery of the Tax Calculation, payments will be made as follows:

1.9.1 if the Excess Tax exceeds $510,000, payments will be made to the Shareholders by the Escrow Agent from the Tax Fund Deposit in the aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Excess Tax exceeds $510,000, payment to each Shareholder to be in the amount set forth in the Tax Calculation.

11.	POST CLOSING OBLIGATIONS

11.1 The parties acknowledge that, for purposes of federal, California and other state income tax laws by which the Company is taxed as an S corporation, the Subchapter S election of the Company will terminate upon the Closing, and that such termination of the Subchapter S election will result in a short Subchapter S termination year for the Company ending on the Closing Date, with profits and losses calculated on the basis of the books and records of the Company on the Closing Date. The parties also acknowledge that a short Subchapter C year will result for the Company for a period following the Closing Date. The parties agree to make available to each other relevant books and records and cooperate in the preparation of relevant financial data and income tax returns reflecting the Subchapter S termination year and the short Subchapter C year.

11.2 The Shareholders shall timely file all Tax Returns, and pay all taxes (excluding sales taxes) due, with respect to the Company for the period January 1, 2004 through the Closing Date, and Buyer agrees to cooperate with the Shareholders and make available to the Shareholders all information, books and records, and documents necessary for the preparation of such Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns will be submitted to Buyer for review prior to filing.

11.3 The preparation and filing of all Tax Returns of the Company for periods ending after the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Buyer. Each of Buyer and the Shareholders acknowledges and agrees that it shall not amend any tax returns of the Company or the Shareholders that take any position inconsistent with such returns for any taxable period prior to the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the other party, unless such amendment results from adjustments made by any governmental taxing authority. Buyer shall be entitled to participate in any audits or other tax-related proceedings by any federal, state or local taxing authority of Tax Returns of the Company for taxable periods prior to the Closing Date. Any tax liability (excluding sales tax liability) of the Company arising from adjustments made by taxing authorities with respect to taxable periods prior to the Closing Date shall be the sole liability and obligation of the Shareholders, and Buyer shall be indemnified in full by the Shareholders therefor.

11.4 After the Closing Date, Buyer will retain the Company’s books and records in a commercially reasonable manner, and the Shareholders and their representatives shall have reasonable access to all books, records and other documentation of the Company to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by them in connection with complying with applicable tax return filing obligations or maintaining or defending a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Access shall be afforded by Buyer upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. If Buyer desires to dispose of any such books, records, contracts or documents of and relating to the Company for the period prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall, prior to such disposition, give the Shareho lders reasonable opportunity to segregate and remove such books and records as the Shareholders may select.

Exhibit 10.216

11.5 If, as a result of a Federal or state tax audit subsequent to the Closing Date it is determined that the income taxes due from the Shareholders resulting from the election to treat the sale of the Shares to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement as an asset sale under Code Section 338(h)(10), (i) exceed the income taxes actually paid by the Shareholders, Buyer shall pay such excess, but only to the extent of such excess, to the Shareholders, or (ii) are less than the income taxes actually paid by the Shareholders, promptly upon receipt of refund for such excess taxes, the Shareholders shall pay to Buyer the amount of such refunded excess.
