ARTICLE II

PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE;

EFFECT OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

OF CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS

2.1

Effect on Capital Stock. The manner and basis of converting, exchanging or canceling the shares of capital stock of, and Equity Interests in, each of the Constituent Corporations into or for cash or securities (or the contingent right to receive cash or such securities) of the Surviving Corporation shall be as follows:

(a) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”);

(b) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned directly or indirectly by the Acquired Entities (whether as treasury stock or otherwise) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(c) each Merger Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding and be converted into the right for such holder to receive, (A) at the Effective Time, an amount equal to the Per Share Closing Amount, plus (B) subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Per Share Escrow Holdback Amount, if any, and the Per Share WC Escrow Amount, if any;

(d) each Merger Option shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding and be converted into the right for such holder to receive, (A) at the Effective Time, an amount equal to the Per Share Closing Amount, minus (B) the Merger Option Exercise Amount with respect to such Merger Option, plus (C) subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Per Share Escrow Holdback Amount, if any, and the Per Share WC Escrow Amount, if any; and

(e) each authorized but unissued share of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled.

2.2	Delivery of Funds; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) At the Effective Time, upon delivery by each Stockholder to the Surviving Corporation of a properly executed Letter of Transmittal or an Option Cancellation Form, in each instance, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D and surrender by each Stockholder to the Surviving Corporation of (A) the certificate(s) which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented Merger Shares or (B) the Merger Options, as applicable, such Stockholder shall, from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the provisions hereof (including Section 2.2(b) below), be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the cash which such Stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1 above, as applicable, but reduced by the amount, if any, such Stockholder owes to the Company under any Notes Receivable plus interest accrued thereon through the Closing Date. The Per Share Closing Amount payable pursuant to Section 2.1 above shall be paid on the Closing Date by the Buyer or its designee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Stockholders’ Representative, for the account of the Stockholders (other than Stockholders holding Dissenting Shares). The Per Share Escrow Holdback Amount, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.1 above shall be paid following the release from escrow of the Escrow Holdback Amount (or remaining portion thereof) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Per Share WC Escrow Amount, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.1 above shall be paid following the release from escrow of the Working Capital Escrow Amount (or remaining portion thereof) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2 and the Certificate of Merger, each certificate representing Merger Shares and each Merger Option shall be deemed, at and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender cash as contemplated by this ARTICLE II, the Certificate of Merger and the DGCL.

(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Merger Option shall be deemed to be exercised. Payment for each Merger Option shall be subject to applicable withholding as set forth in Section 2.4(i) and the consideration therefor shall be paid first to the Company and thereafter distributed by the Company through its payroll. The Parties shall cooperate in all respects at all times to ensure that the proceeds for the Merger Options are paid through the Company’s payroll.

2.3	No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.

The consideration paid in respect of the surrender of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE II and the Certificate of Merger shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. At and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation shall be closed with respect to the capital stock of the Company, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE II and the Certificate of Merger.

2.4	Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Working Capital, Estimated Cash on Hand, Estimated Indebtedness. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer a balance sheet of the Acquired Entities containing (i) the Company’s good faith estimate of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital”), (ii) the Company’s good faith estimate of the Cash on Hand as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Cash on Hand”) and (iii) the Company’s good faith estimate of the Acquired Entity Indebtedness as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), prepared based on the same principles and methodology utilized in preparing the Financial Statements, together with all work papers and copies of source documents that reasonably support and document the Company’s determination in preparing such balance sheet. Buyer shall have the right to review such balance sheet prior to Closing, and the Company shall revise such balance sheet prior to Closing to reflect Buyer’s reasonable comments to the extent such comments are not inconsistent with the principles and methodology utilized in preparing the Financial Statements (such balance sheet, reflecting any amendments in accordance with this Section, the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”). If the Estimated Working Capital reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet is less than the Working Capital Target, then the Closing Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2 will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such shortfall. If the Estimated Working Capital reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet is greater than the Working Capital Target, then the Closing Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i) will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such excess. If the Estimated Cash on Hand is less than zero dollars ($0), then the Closing Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i) will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such shortfall. If the Estimated Cash on Hand is greater than zero dollars ($0), then the Closing Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i) will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such excess. If the Estimated Indebtedness is greater than zero dollars ($0), then the Closing Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i) will be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such excess. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustments to the Closing Consideration made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be double counted.

(b) Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash on Hand, Actual Indebtedness. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but not later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative (i) a balance sheet of the Acquired Entities as of the Closing Date (the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”) reflecting all adjustments made by the Buyer to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet that are consistent with GAAP, and including (A) the Buyer’s calculation of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Actual Working Capital”), (B) the Buyer’s calculation of the Cash on Hand as of the Closing Date (the “Actual Cash on Hand”) and (C) the Buyer’s calculation of the Acquired Entity Indebtedness as of the Closing Date (the “Actual Indebtedness”) and (ii) all work papers and copies of source documents that reasonably support and document the Buyer’s determination of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, the Actual Working Capital, the Actual Cash on Hand and the Actual Indebtedness.

(i) Concurrently with the delivery of the Final Closing Balance Sheet by the Buyer to the Stockholders’ Representative, the Buyer also shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a notice (the “Notice of Adjustment”) setting forth the proposed adjustment, if any, of the Closing Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.4(d ), Section 2.4(e) or Section 2.4(f). During the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet until the Final Determination Date, the Buyer shall (A) provide the Stockholders’ Representative and its advisors with timely access to the personnel, work papers, trial balances, relevant books and records and similar materials used, and (B) give the Stockholders’ Representative reasonable advance notice of, and permit the Stockholders’ Representative and its advisors to observe, any physical inventory conducted, in connection with the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet.

(ii) Following receipt of the Notice of Adjustment, the Stockholders’ Representative and its advisors will be afforded a period of twenty (20) Business Days (the “20-Day Period”) to review the Notice of Adjustment. At or before the end of the 20-Day Period, the Stockholders’ Representative may deliver to the Buyer a written notice (the “Objection Notice”) containing an explanation of those items in the Final Balance Sheet which the Stockholders’ Representative disputes, in which case the items identified by the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to be in dispute. If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver an Objection Notice within such 20-Day Period, the Actual Working Capital, the Actual Cash on Hand and the Actual Indebtedness will be deemed to be accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative and finally determined as set forth in the Notice of Adjustment.

(iii) If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the Objection Notice within the 20-Day Period, then (A) to the extent that any amounts contained in the Notice of Adjustment are not disputed by the Stockholders’ Representative, the Parties shall make a determination of (x) the Actual Working Capital without regard to any disputed amounts (the “Undisputed Working Capital”), (y) the Actual Cash on Hand without regard to any disputed amounts (the “Undisputed Cash on Hand”), and (z) the Actual Indebtedness without regard to any disputed amounts (the “Undisputed Indebtedness”), and the Buyer or the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, shall make a payment in accordance with 2.4(d ), Section 2.4(e) or Section 2.4(f) as if the Undisputed Working Capital, the Undisputed Cash on Hand and the Undisputed Indebtedness were the Actual Working Capital, the Actual Cash on Hand and the Actual Indebtedness, respectively, in each case, as finally determined, and (B) within a further period of twenty (20) Business Days commencing on the date following the termination of the 20-Day Period the Parties and, if desired, their accountants will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed amounts, and only such disputed amounts, and reach a written agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with respect thereto, in which case the Actual Working Capital, the Actual Cash on Hand or the Actual Indebtedness (as the case may be) shall be as set forth in the Settlement Agreement. Failing such resolution, the unresolved disputed amounts will be referred for final binding resolution to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Arbitrating Accountants”), the fees and expenses of which shall be borne as provided below. In such case, the Actual Working Capital, the Actual Cash on Hand or the Actual Indebtedness (as the case may be) will be deemed to be as determined by the Arbitrating Accountants. Such determination (the “Accountants’ Determination”) shall be (I) made solely in reliance upon supporting documentation provided to the Arbitrating Accountants by the Buyer or the Stockholders’ Representative within twenty (20) days of submission of the unresolved disputed amounts to the Arbitrating Accountants, (II) in writing, (III) furnished to the Stockholders’ Representative and the Buyer as soon as practicable after the items in dispute have been referred to the Arbitrating Accountants, and (IV) absent manifest error, nonappealable by the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders, the Company, the Buyer and each of their respective Affiliates and successors and not subject to collateral attack for any reason. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountants shall be paid on a proportionate basis by the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative based on the inverse proportion of the respective percentages of the dollar value of disputed amounts determined in favor of the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Stockholders’ Representative, on the other hand.

(d) Working Capital Adjustment. After the final determination of the Actual Working Capital in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Closing Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) If the Actual Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Working Capital reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the amount of such excess being referred to herein as the “Underpayment Amount”), then, within five (5) Business Days following the Final Determination Date, the Closing Consideration shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Underpayment Amount and the Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Stockholders’ Representative an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Underpayment Amount, minus (B) any payments of Undisputed Working Capital and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(c), plus (C) any payments of Undisputed Working Capital and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

(ii) If the Actual Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the amount of such shortfall being referred to herein as the “Overpayment Amount”), then, within five (5) Business Days following the Final Determination Date, the Closing Consideration shall be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Overpayment Amount and the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Buyer an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Overpayment Amount, minus (B) any payments of Undisputed Working Capital and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.4(c), plus (C) any payments of Undisputed Working Capital and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(c). Any amount payable by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall first be paid out of the Working Capital Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(e) Cash on Hand Adjustment. After the final determination of the Actual Cash on Hand in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Closing Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) If the Actual Cash on Hand is greater than the Estimated Cash on Hand reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the amount of such excess being referred to herein as the “Additional Cash on Hand”), then, within five (5) Business Days following the Final Determination Date, the Closing Consideration shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Additional Cash on Hand and the Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Stockholders’ Representative an aggregate amount equal (A) the Additional Cash on Hand, minus (B) any payments of Undisputed Cash on Hand and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(c), plus (C) any payments of Undisputed Cash on Hand and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

(ii) If the Actual Cash on Hand is less than the Estimated Cash on Hand reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the amount of such shortfall being referred to herein as the “Cash on Hand Deficit”), then, within five (5) Business Days following the Final Determination Date, the Closing Consideration shall be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Cash on Hand Deficit and the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Buyer an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Cash on Hand Deficit, minus (B) any payments of Undisputed Cash on Hand and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.4(c), plus (C) any payments of Undisputed Cash on Hand and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(c). Any amount payable by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) shall first be paid out of the Working Capital Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(f) Indebtedness Adjustment. After the final determination of the Actual Indebtedness in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Closing Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) If the Actual Indebtedness is greater than the Estimated Indebtedness reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the amount of such shortfall being referred to herein as the “Additional Indebtedness”), then, within five (5) Business Days following the Final Determination Date, the Closing Consideration shall be decreased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Additional Indebtedness and the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Buyer an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Additional Indebtedness, minus (B) any payments of Undisputed Indebtedness and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.4(c), plus (C) any payments of Undisputed Indebtedness and interest accrued thereon, if any, made by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(c). Any amount payable by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) shall first be paid out of the Working Capital Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(b) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of the Buyer or Acquisition Sub in this Agreement.

9.4	Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a) The party seeking indemnity (“Indemnitee”) will give prompt written notice to the party or parties providing indemnity (“Indemnitor”) of any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification which it discovers or of which it receives notice after the Closing, stating the nature, basis and (to the extent known) amount thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve Indemnitor from any Liability hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) Indemnitor is prejudiced by such delay. Copies of any papers received in connection with such matter shall be forwarded to Indemnitor together with the notice of the matter.

(b) In case of any Action by a third party or by any Governmental Authority, or any Action involving claims brought by such a third party or Governmental Authority with respect to which Indemnitor may have Liability under the indemnification provisions contained in this ARTICLE IX (a “Third-Party Claim”), then Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense thereof at its own expense and by its own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, by providing written notice to Indemnitee confirming Indemnitor’s irrevocable and unconditional obligation to fully indemnify (subject to the limitations on indemnification contained herein) Indemnitee against any Damages that may result from the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim if (i) the Third-Party Claim does not involve solely monetary damages, (ii) Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to Indemnitor and, in the reasonable opinion of Indemnitee, counsel for Indemnitor could not adequately represent Indemnitee’s interests because they conflict with those of Indemnitor, (iii) such Third-Party Claim involves, or could have a material effect on, any material matter beyond the scope of the indemnification obligation of Indemnitor (including damages sought in excess of the then-remaining Escrow Holdback Amount), (iv) Indemnitor shall not have assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim in a timely fashion or (v) the insurer under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy has assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms of the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy. If Indemnitor shall assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim (under circumstances in which the proviso in the preceding sentence is not applicable), Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any legal or other defense costs subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. If Indemnitor does not exercise its rights to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim or is otherwise restricted from so assuming such defense, Indemnitor shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in such defense with its own counsel and at its own expense; and in any such case Indemnitee may assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, with counsel that shall be reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitor, and shall act reasonably and in accordance with its good faith business judgment and shall not effect any settlement without the consent of Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Indemnitor exercises its right to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, it shall not effect any settlement without the consent of Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that such consent shall not be required where (i) the terms of such settlement do not include or require any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person, (ii) pursuant to the terms of such settlement the sole relief to be provided is monetary damages that are to be paid in full by Indemnitor and (iii) the terms of such settlement are not reasonably expected to affect the Taxes of the Acquired Entity, the Buyer or their Affiliates after the Closing Date.

(c) The Indemnitee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any claims for insurance with respect to any claims or Damages for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder, and

(d) This Section 9.4 shall control any examination, investigation, audit or other proceeding related to Taxes.

9.5	Limitations on Indemnification Liability.

(a) Limitation for Stockholders. The Stockholders’ aggregate Liability for indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 9.2(a), Section 9.2(b), and Section 9.2(c) shall not exceed the Escrow Holdback Amount (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, however, that the Maximum Amount shall not apply with respect to any claim based on fraud by any Acquired Entity. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, Buyer, on behalf of itself and each other Buyer Indemnified Person, acknowledges and agrees that the sole and exclusive remedy of any Buyer Indemnified Person beyond the Maximum Amount for any claim related to, arising under or in connection with or pursuant to Section 9.2(a), Section 9.2(b) or Section 9.2(c) shall be to make a claim against the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy. The Buyer, on behalf of itself and each other Buyer Indemnified Person, further acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 9.5(a) shall apply regardless if (i) Buyer obtains at or following Closing or maintains following Closing the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, (ii) the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy is revoked, cancelled or modified in any manner after issuance, or (iii) any Buyer Indemnified Person makes a claim under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy and such claim is denied by the insurer.

(b) Threshold for Stockholders. The Stockholders will have no Liability for indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 9.2(a) unless and until the aggregate Damages claimed thereunder exceed an amount equal to $555,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), and once the aggregate amount of such Damages under Section 9.2(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount, the Buyer Indemnified Persons will be entitled to recover all such Damages to which they are entitled in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that (i) no Buyer Indemnified Person shall be entitled to make any claim under Section 9.2(a) in respect of any Individual Matter unless such claim is for Damages in excess of $25,000 (the “Per Claim Amount”), and (ii) the Threshold Amount and the Per Claim Amount shall not apply with respect to any Action arising from the Breach of a Fundamental Representation or from fraud by the Acquired Entities.

(c) Limitation for Buyer and the Surviving Corporation. The Buyer’s and the Surviving Corporation’s aggregate Liability for indemnification of the Stockholder Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 9.3(a) shall not exceed the Maximum Amount; provided, however, that the Maximum Amount shall not apply with respect to any claim based on fraud by the Buyer or Acquisition Sub or arising from the breach of a Buyer Fundamental Representation. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, in no event other than fraud shall the Buyer’s and the Surviving Corporation’s aggregate Liability for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Maximum Amount (other than as set forth in Section 8.3).

(d) Threshold for Buyer and Acquisition Sub. The Buyer and the Surviving Corporation will have no Liability for indemnification of the Stockholder Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 9.3(a) unless and until the aggregate Damages claimed thereunder exceed an amount equal to the Threshold Amount, and once the aggregate amount of such Damages under Section 9.3(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount, the Stockholder Indemnified Persons will be entitled to recover all such Damages to which they are entitled in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that (i) no Stockholder Indemnified Person shall be entitled to make any claim under Section 9.3(a) in respect of any Individual Matter unless such claim is for Damages in excess of the Per Claim Amount, and (ii) the Threshold Amount and the Per Claim Amount shall not apply with respect to any Action arising from the Breach of a Buyer Fundamental Representation or from fraud by the Buyer or Acquisition Sub.

9.6

Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 8.3, in the absence of fraud, indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX (including, for the avoidance of doubt, recovery under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties with respect to all claims for monetary Damages arising under this Agreement of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, for any misrepresentation or Breach of any warranty, covenant, or other provision contained in this Agreement.

9.7

Special Damages. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS THAT IT MAY HAVE TO PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, TREBLE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF ANY OF THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE PAID OR PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES.

9.8	Reduction of Purchase Price. Any indemnification amounts payable by the Stockholders pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be treated for all Tax purposes to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

9.9

Payment. Absent fraud, the Buyer Indemnified Persons’ only recourse for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a), Section 9.2(b), or Section 9.2(c) shall be to collect (i) first, from and against the Escrow Holdback Amount, and (ii) thereafter, from and against the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy. No indemnification claims pursuant to Section 9.2(a), Section 9.2(b), or Section 9.2(c) shall be brought directly against any Stockholder and, absent fraud, the Stockholders shall have no Liability beyond the Escrow Holdback Amount. Any indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Stockholders’ Representative or the Buyer, as the case may be, within three (3) Business Days after the determination thereof, whether pursuant to a final judgment, settlement or agreement among the Parties.

9.10

Calculation of Indemnity Payments. The obligation of any Party or Stockholder to make payments in respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be limited to the amount of any Liability that remains after deducting therefrom (i) any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Buyer Indemnified Persons with respect to such claim (net of any increase in premiums related thereto), (ii) any amounts previously paid by the Stockholders with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.4 and (iii) any income Tax savings that are actually realized by an Indemnitee (or its Affiliates) in the same taxable period as the event which gave rise to the claim for indemnification occurs as a result of a Tax deduction or credit directly resulting from such event, treating such deduction or credit as the last item taken into account in offsetting income in such period. For purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty has been Breached and calculating any Damages suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 9.2(a), each representation or warranty that contains any qualification as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” (other than clause (ii) of Section 3.5) shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualification.

ARTICLE X

In the event there is a disagreement as to whether revisions requested by the Stockholders’ Representative should be included in any such Tax Return, the disagreement shall be submitted to the Arbitrating Accountants for resolution (the expenses of which shall be shared in a manner similarly to that set forth in Section 2.4(c)). Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall file all Pre-Closing Tax Returns as finally prepared (including the resolution of the Arbitrating Accountants, if applicable).

(c) The Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by each Acquired Entity for any Tax period which begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Tax Period,” and the Tax Returns related thereto, “Straddle Period Returns”). Except as required by Law, all Straddle Period Returns shall be prepared consistent with each such Acquired Entity’s past custom and practice. Buyer shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative with a copy of any Straddle Period Return at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date such Tax Return is due for the Stockholders’ Representative’s review. Buyer shall make revisions to any such Straddle Period Return as is reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) In the case of a Straddle Tax Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts or expenses (e.g., payroll Taxes) of the Acquired Entities for the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(b) The amount of any other Taxes of the Acquired Entities for a Straddle Tax Period that relates to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Tax Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Tax Period.

10.3

Elections, Amended Returns, Etc. Without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, or as otherwise required by Law, neither the Buyer nor any Acquired Entity (including a successor to such Acquired Entity) shall, with respect to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (i) make any Tax election or (ii) file any amended Tax Return or, in the absence of initial contact by a taxing authority, propose any Tax adjustment for such period to such authority (e.g., through a voluntary disclosure or similar program). The Buyer shall not take any action which could prevent the taxable period beginning prior to the Closing Date from ending on the Closing Date.
