Section 2.7 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meaning specified below:

(i) “Average Working Capital” means $11,569,130.

(ii) “Closing Balance Sheet” means the balance sheet of the Seller as of the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with GAAP and this Section 2.7; provided that such balance sheet must be prepared in detail showing each line item in the general ledger, rather than simply showing current assets and current liabilities in the aggregate.

(iii) “Closing Working Capital” means the Working Capital as of the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(iv) “Working Capital” means, as of any relevant date, the amount calculated by subtracting the current liabilities of the Seller as of that date from the current assets of the Seller as of that date, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, that (i) the inventory included as current assets shall not include Excluded Inventory, and all inventory shall be valued at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, (ii) the accounts receivable as of the Closing Date shall include a 100% reserve against any accounts aged more than ninety (90) days, (iii) the full amount of all customer advance payments, customer deposits and similar customer prepaid items (including the Walgreen’s deposits) and liabilities related to inventory in-transit, outstanding purchase orders and work-in-process shall be accrued as a current liability, (iv) no purchase accounting adjustments arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be made, and (v) no current Liabilities shall be included if they are not Assumed Liabilities and no current assets shall be included to the extent they are not Assets. A detailed illustration of the manner in which the parties calculated the Average Working Capital (based on the Seller’s December 31, 2012 balance sheet) is attached as Schedule 2.7(a). Except as provided in other provisions of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in a manner consistent with, and including the same line items, classifications and estimation methodologies, as are set forth on the statement of working capital attached hereto as Schedule 2.7(a) for purposes of calculating the Working Capital of the Seller as of the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(v) “Working Capital Adjustment” means (A) the Closing Working Capital, less (B) the Average Working Capital.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Closing Working Capital, the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment or the Working Capital Adjustment may be a negative amount.

(b) Calculation.

(i) Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a written statement (the “Buyer Working Capital Statement”) containing the following: (i) a Closing Balance Sheet, prepared in accordance with GAAP, (ii) a calculation of the Closing Working Capital as of the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date derived from such Closing Balance Sheet, and (iii) based on such Closing Working Capital calculation, a calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment. During the next 30 days, the Buyer shall, at the reasonable request of the Seller and during normal business hours, afford the Seller and its advisors access to the books and records of the Buyer related to the Acquired Business and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Seller and their advisors in order to permit the Seller and its advisors to review the Buyer Working Capital Statement. The Seller agrees to keep confidential and not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to review the Buyer Working Capital Statement) any financial or other confidential information obtained from the Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.7.

(ii) In calculating the accounts receivable portion of the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Working Capital, the Seller will receive credit (i.e., current assets will include) only the amount of accounts receivable of the Seller accrued on the Closing Date that are actually collected by the Buyer during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the 120th day after the Closing Date. Seller shall have no right to receive credit for any accounts receivable accrued on the Closing Date but collected after the end of such 120-day period. If any accounts receivable accrued on the Closing Date are not collected by the end of such 120-day period, then Buyer shall continue good faith efforts to collect such accounts from the relevant customer, and Seller may provide reasonable assistance in such collection efforts as approved in advance by Buyer. If any receivable is paid after the 120-day period to Buyer (and Seller has not received credit for such receivable in the calculation of Closing Working Capital), then Buyer shall hold the collected receivable in trust for the benefit of Seller and shall immediately pay the amount of the receivable to Seller.

(iii) For purposes of determining the quantity of the Seller’s inventory as of the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date for purposes of calculating the Closing Working Capital, as close as reasonably practicable to the Closing Date, the Buyer shall conduct or cause to be conducted a physical count of the Seller’s inventory; provided, that the inventory included as current assets shall not include Excluded Inventory, as determined by the Buyer in its discretion, and all inventory shall be valued at the lower of cost or market, on a FIFO basis. If, based upon the advice of Buyer’s independent auditors, the Buyer is required to account for the acquired inventory under GAAP and the value of the acquired inventory under GAAP is less than the amount determined under the preceding sentence, then such value of the acquired inventory determined under GAAP shall control, and (A) if such determination is made prior to the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment, it will be taken into account in the calculation of such Final Working Capital Adjustment, and (B) if such determination is made after the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to (1) the value of the inventory used in calculating the Final Working Capital Adjustment, less (2) the value of the acquired inventory determined under GAAP. Such amount shall be paid on demand or, in the Buyer’s discretion, by set-off against other amounts owed to the Seller under this Agreement.

(c) Dispute Procedures. If the Seller disputes any determination by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.7(b), then the Seller shall give the Buyer notice of such dispute (a “Working Capital Notice of Dispute”), not more than 30 days after the date on which the Seller receives the Buyer Working Capital Statement. In the Working Capital Notice of Dispute, the Seller shall include a request for any and all books, records, documents or other information that Seller requires to analyze the determinations of Seller pursuant to Section 2.7(b). Buyer agrees to provide all books and records requested by Seller pursuant to the Working Capital Notice of Dispute within thirty (30) days. However, if Buyer believes that Seller’s request for books and records is unreasonable, Buyer shall produce all books and records which it does not find objectionable within the 30-day period and shall also deliver a written response specifying those items that it believes are not reasonably necessary to Seller’s review. If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute related to Buyer’s production, then the Special Accountant (as defined below) shall be engaged immediately to resolve the dispute relating to the production of books and records. Within thirty (30) days after the production of the books and records requested in the Working Capital Notice of Dispute, or the decision of the Special Accountant with respect to the production of books and records, whichever is later, the Seller shall deliver an addendum to the Working Capital Notice of Dispute (which shall become part of the original Notice) specifying in reasonable detail any points of dispute and including a proposed determination of the Closing Working Capital and the Working Capital Adjustment. The Seller shall be deemed to have accepted any determination by the Buyer in the Buyer Working Capital Statement and each such determination shall be deemed conclusive, binding and final if (i) the Seller fails to give a Working Capital Notice of Dispute within the original 30-day period, or (ii) the Seller gives notice to the Buyer accepting a determination within the original 30-day period. Upon receipt of the Working Capital Notice of Dispute, the Buyer and the Seller shall consult promptly with each other with respect to the points of dispute in an effort to resolve the dispute. If such dispute is resolved by a written, signed agreement of the Seller and the Buyer, the agreed amount will be deemed conclusive, binding and final. If any dispute is not resolved by the Seller and the Buyer within 30 days after the Working Capital Notice of Dispute is given to the Buyer, either the Seller or the Buyer may elect, by written notice to the other party, to refer the dispute to the Atlanta, Georgia office of Cherry Bekaert (or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to accept such appointment, another national or regional independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Buyer and the Seller) (the “Special Accountant”) to finally determine, as soon as practicable, all such disputes. All determinations by the Special Accountant shall be in writing, and shall be conclusive, final, and binding; provided that (i) the scope of the Special Accountant’s engagement will be limited solely to resolving the disputes regarding the determination of the Closing Working Capital and the Working Capital Adjustment that are set forth in the Working Capital Notice of Dispute, including any disputes related to the production of books and records as described above; (ii) the Special Accountant shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and (iii) the Special Accountant shall not ascribe a value to any disputed item or amount higher or lower, as the case may be, than the highest or lowest value ascribed by the Buyer or the Seller to such item in the Buyer Working Capital Statement or Working Capital Notice of Dispute, respectively. The fees, costs and expenses of such Special Accountant incurred in connection with any dispute will be borne by the non-prevailing party, or if the Special Accountant determines that neither party could be fairly found to be the prevailing party, then such fees, costs and expenses will be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Seller and fifty percent (50%) by the Buyer. The Working Capital Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) is the “Final Working Capital Adjustment” and the balance sheet prepared by the Buyer, as amended to reflect any modifications agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller or made by the Special Accountant, is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet.”

(d) Purchase Price Adjustments.

(i) If the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment is greater than the Final Working Capital Adjustment, the Seller shall refund to the Buyer an amount equal to such excess.

(ii) If the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment is less than the Final Working Capital Adjustment, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the amount of such deficiency.

(iii) If the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment equals the Final Working Capital Adjustment, then no further payment or refund shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.7.

(iv) Any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) shall be paid in immediately available funds to a single bank account designated in writing by the Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, and shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after the Final Working Capital Adjustment is finally determined in accordance with Section 2.7(c).

Section 2.8 Earn-Out.

(a) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meaning specified below:

(i) “Acceleration Event” means (A) a Change in Control occurs, and (B) in connection with such Change in Control, the acquiring Person does one of the following (in each case without the consent of the Shareholder(s) then employed by the Buyer) (each an “Acquired Business Change Event”): (1) closes the operations of the Buyer in Alpharetta, Georgia, (2) changes the operations of the Buyer in Alpharetta, Georgia in a manner that will materially adversely affect the ability of the Acquired Business to achieve the Gross Profit targets, or (3) requires the Shareholder(s) then employed by the Buyer to relocate their principal place(s) of employment more than 50 miles from their then-current principal place(s) of employment.

(ii) “Acquired Business” shall mean the Assets of and Business conducted by the Seller as of the Closing Date and acquired by the Buyer. For the purpose of calculating the Contingent Future Payment, the Buyer shall separately account for the financial results of the Acquired Business during each Measurement Period so that such financial statements do not include the operating results from any other business, customer, segment or division of the Buyer, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Buyer or its Affiliates, including any of the foregoing that is now or at any time hereafter included as part of or consolidated with the Acquired Business or any division of the Buyer or its Affiliates under which the Acquired Business is organized. For the avoidance of doubt, any business or customer originated by the Acquired Business after the Closing shall be included in the results of the Acquired Business for purposes of the earn-out calculation described in this Section 2.8.

(iii) “Additional Contingent Payment” means, with respect to any Measurement Period, fourteen percent (14%) of the amount of the Earnings of the Acquired Business in excess of the targets for each Measurement Period set forth on Schedule 2.8(a)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Contingent Payment shall be determined separately for each Measurement Period based solely on the amount of the Earnings of the Acquired Business for the applicable Measurement Period, and without regard to the amount of the Earnings of the Acquired Business or the Additional Contingent Payment earned for any other time period.

(iv) “Change in Control” means either of the following occurs: (A) the Buyer sells all or substantially all of its assets (in a transaction requiring shareholder approval), or (B) any Person or group of Persons within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Buyer’s outstanding voting stock (whether by way of purchase of stock, merger or otherwise).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following transactions shall in no event constitute a Change in Control: (x) any going private transaction with respect to the Buyer (including any transaction subject to Rule 13e-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934), or (y) any acquisition of stock by any of the Xxxxxxxx family or their Affiliates, including pursuant to transfers for estate planning purposes.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Contingent Future Payment shall be determined separately for each Measurement Period based solely on the Gross Profit for the applicable Measurement Period, and without regard to the amount of Gross Profit or Contingent Future Payment earned for any other time period.

(vi) “Earnings of the Acquired Business” means the earnings of the Acquired Business before interest, income taxes, and amortization of intangible assets related to the Transaction, as determined by the Company in accordance with GAAP. For clarity, all expenses of the Acquired Business other than those specifically listed in the preceding sentence shall be taken into account in determining the Earnings of the Acquired Business.

If the parties have a dispute related to Buyer’s production of books and records, then the Special Accountant shall be engaged immediately to resolve the dispute relating to the production of books and records.

All determinations by the Special Accountant shall be in writing, and shall be conclusive, final, and binding; provided that (i) the scope of the Special Accountant’s engagement will be limited solely to resolving the disputes regarding the determination of the Gross Profit and/or the Earnings of the Acquired Business that are set forth in the Earn-Out Notice of Dispute, including any disputes related to the production of books and records as described above; (ii) the Special Accountant shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and (iii) the Special Accountant shall not ascribe a value to any disputed item or amount higher or lower, as the case may be, than the highest or lowest value ascribed by the Buyer or the Seller to such item in the Gross Profit Statement or Earn-Out Notice of Dispute, respectively. The fees, costs and expenses of such Special Accountant incurred in connection with any dispute will be borne by the non-prevailing party, or if the Special Accountant determines that neither party could be fairly found to be the prevailing party, then such fees, costs and expenses will be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Seller and fifty percent (50%) by the Buyer.

(d) Time of Payment. The Contingent Future Payment and Additional Contingent Payment for a Measurement Period shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller in immediately available funds to a single bank account designated in writing by the Seller, and shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after the amount of the Contingent Future Payment and Additional Contingent Payment is finally determined in accordance with Section 2.8(c); provided, that, with respect to the Contingent Future Payment and Additional Contingent Payment for the calendar year 2014 Measurement Period, if any, such payment shall be payable no earlier than the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

(e) Acceleration of Earn-Out Payment. If an Acceleration Event occurs during a Measurement Period, then (i) the maximum Contingent Future Payment for the Measurement Period in which the Acceleration Event occurs (i.e., $1,200,000 or $2,000,000, as the case may be) shall be deemed earned by the Seller, without regard to the actual Gross Profit for that period, and (ii) the maximum Contingent Future Payment(s) for the Measurement Period(s) commencing after the Measurement Period in which the Acceleration Event occurs, if any (i.e., $1,200,000 or $2,000,000 for each, as the case may be), shall be deemed earned by the Seller. If an Acceleration Event occurs during calendar year 2013, then the maximum aggregate Contingent Future Payment (i.e., $7,200,000) shall be deemed earned by the Seller. If any Contingent Future Payment(s) are payable under this Section 2.8(e), such amount shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller in immediately available funds to a single bank account designated in writing by the Seller, and shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of the Acceleration Event. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Acceleration Event occurs at any time, Seller will remain eligible to receive Additional Contingent Payments for the remaining Measurement Periods.

(f) Forfeiture of Earn-Out Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary:

(i) The Seller’s rights to all Contingent Future Payments and Additional Contingent Payments shall be forfeited, and none shall be paid to the Seller, if Xxxxxxxxx X. Xxxx, III and Xxxxx X. Xxxx, Xx. do not each remain continuously employed by the Buyer from the Closing Date through the second anniversary of the Closing Date. However, forfeiture under this Section 2.8(f)(i) shall not occur if Xxxxxxxxx X. Xxxx, III dies on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date and Xxxxx X. Xxxx, Xx. remains continuously employed by the Buyer during this time period.

(ii) With respect to any Measurement Period, (A) one-third (1/3) of the amount of the Contingent Future Payment and Additional Contingent Payment otherwise payable to the Seller for the Measurement Period shall be forfeited, and not paid to the Seller, if Xxxxxxxxx X. Xxxx, III does not remain continuously employed by the Buyer from the Closing Date through the end of the Measurement Period (including as a result of his death, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(f)(i)), and (B) two-thirds (2/3) of the amount of the Contingent Future Payment and Additional Contingent Payment otherwise payable to the Seller for the Measurement Period shall be forfeited, and not paid to the Seller, if Xxxxx X. Xxxx, Xx. does not remain continuously employed by the Buyer from the Closing Date through the end of the Measurement Period.

(iii) If an Acceleration Event occurs, (A) one-third (1/3) of the amount of the Contingent Future Payment otherwise payable to the Seller upon the Acceleration Event shall be forfeited, and not paid to the Seller, if Xxxxxxxxx X. Xxxx, III does not remain continuously employed by the Buyer from the Closing Date through the date of the Acceleration Event (including as a result of his death, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(f)(i)), and (B) two-thirds (2/3) of the amount of the Contingent Future Payment and Additional Contingent Payment otherwise payable to the Seller upon the Acceleration Event shall be forfeited, and not paid to the Seller, if Xxxxx X. Xxxx, Xx. does not remain continuously employed by the Buyer from the Closing Date through the date of the Acceleration Event.

(g) Post-Closing Operation of Business. The Seller acknowledges that the Buyer makes no representation that this arrangement will generate any particular amount of Contingent Future Payments and Additional Contingent Payments and, since the amount of any such Contingent Future Payments and Additional Contingent Payments derives from the financial performance of the Acquired Business during the Measurement Period, it is possible that no Contingent Future Payments or Additional Contingent Payments will be earned. The Buyer does not have any obligation or owe any duty (whether fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) to the Seller to operate its business with the focus of maximizing or obtaining any portion of the Contingent Future Payments or the Additional Contingent Payments. Nothing in this Agreement provides the Shareholders with any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period that is in addition to any such rights provided by the Employment Agreements.

Section 2.9 Delivery of Restricted Buyer Shares. At the Closing, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Agreements (including in reliance on the investment representations and warranties made by the Seller and Shareholders therein), the Buyer shall issue one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Buyer Shares to each Shareholder. The parties acknowledge that the issuance of the Restricted Buyer Shares directly to the Shareholders is for the convenience of the parties, and that all Restricted Buyer Shares will be deemed issued first to the Seller as part of the Purchase Price for the Assets, and then transferred by the Seller pro-rata to the Shareholders.

Section 2.10 Purchase Price Adjustment. For all purposes, including Tax purposes, the Working Capital Adjustment, Contingent Future Payments and other price adjustments contemplated by Sections 2.7 and 2.8 shall be treated as additional purchase price paid by the Buyer to the Seller, or reductions to the purchase price paid, for the Assets (except to the extent a portion of any payment by the Buyer is properly treated as imputed interest for Tax purposes), and the parties will file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment.

Section 2.11 Non-Assignable Assets. As between any third party or Governmental Entity on the one hand, and the Seller on the other hand, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment, without the consent of, or other action by, such third party or Governmental Entity, would constitute a violation of any applicable Law or a breach of or in any way adversely affect the rights of such third party, such Governmental Entity, the Buyer or the Seller thereunder; provided, however, that if such consent is not obtained or such other action is not taken prior to the Closing then, as between the Seller and the Buyer, the Seller shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, (a) provide to the Buyer the benefits of the applicable Contract or other Asset, (b) reasonably cooperate in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Buyer, and (c) enforce at the request and expense of the Buyer and for the account of the Buyer, any rights of the Seller arising from any such Contract or other Asset. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the obligations under any such Contract, but only if and to the extent that such obligations are Assumed Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.11 shall obligate the Buyer to pay, perform or discharge any Excluded Liability. In addition, the parties will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary consents of all third-parties to the Assumed Contracts within six (6) months after the Closing Date. If any customer terminates the relevant Assumed Contract based on the failure to obtain a necessary consent, Seller shall satisfy any Liabilities arising from such Assumed Contract, including, without limitation, payment to Buyer for any inventory not purchased by a customer after termination of its Assumed Contract. If, however, any customer refuses to give its consent to the assignment of its Assumed Contract to Buyer, and such customer does not terminate the Assumed Contract within the 6-month period, then Seller may request permission from Buyer to terminate such Assumed Contract. Within ten (10) days of the date of Seller’s request to terminate, the Buyer may either reject or accept the request to terminate from Buyer. If Buyer fails to respond to Buyer’s request, then Buyer shall be deemed to have rejected the request. If Buyer accepts the request of Seller to terminate, then Seller shall terminate such Assumed Contract, and Seller shall satisfy any Liabilities arising from, or relating to, the terminated Assumed Contract including, without limitation, payment to Buyer for any inventory not purchased by a customer after termination of its Assumed Contract. If Buyer rejects the request of Seller to terminate, then Buyer will assume all Liabilities arising from, or relating to, the Assumed Contract. Any payments by a customer of the Acquired Business for inventory shall be retained by Buyer, unless Buyer has already made a reduction for such inventory pursuant to the Final Working Capital Adjustment, in which case, Seller shall retain such payments. To the extent the failure to obtain any consent required for the assignment of any Assumed Contract causes a breach under such Assumed Contract, any Liability resulting from such breach shall be an Excluded Liability (unless Buyer assumes the Liability under such Assumed Contract as described above).

Section 2.12 Withholding Tax . The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that the Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of applicable Law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to the Seller hereunder.

(b) Each Shareholder hereby acknowledges that it is familiar with the Trade Secrets of the Seller and with other Confidential Information. Each Restricted Person will not (and will cause its or his respective Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly, reveal, divulge, or disclose, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date (or any longer period provided in an applicable employment or consulting agreement), or for any reason or in any manner, any Confidential Information, unless such disclosure is on behalf of the Buyer in the course of performing the Shareholder’s duties and responsibilities under his Employment Agreement or Consulting Agreement, or is made with the express written consent of the Buyer. A Restricted Person will not (and will cause its or his respective Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly, use or duplicate any Confidential Information for any purpose other than in the performance of his duties and responsibilities for the Buyer under his Employment Agreement or Consulting Agreement. The foregoing covenants shall not apply to any information that is required to be disclosed by subpoena or other mandatory legal process, provided that the Restricted Person shall promptly give the Buyer notice of any request or demand for disclosure of such Confidential Information upon receipt of such request or demand along with a copy of any written correspondence, pleading or other communications concerning the request or demand; the Restricted Person shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, and upon request, provide reasonable cooperation should the Buyer seek to obtain, an appropriate protective order; and, if the Buyer does not obtain a protective order after a period that is reasonable under the circumstances, the Restricted Person may only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that counsel to the Restricted Person advises it or him that it or he is legally compelled to disclose or else stand liable for contempt or suffer censure or penalty. Each Restricted Person will (and will cause its or his respective Affiliates to) deliver promptly to the Buyer and/or destroy (with a written certification of such submitted to the Buyer), at the request and option of the Buyer, all tangible and electronic embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in its or his possession or under its or his control.

(c) Each Restricted Person acknowledges, stipulates, and agrees that the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Section 4.2 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable as to geographical area, time, and line of business, and are reasonably necessary to protect legitimate business interests of the Buyer; that their agreement to the Restrictive Covenants are a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder; and that the Buyer would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as specifically negotiated by the parties hereto if any Restricted Person breaches a Restrictive Covenant. If a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration panel shall nevertheless determine that the duration, geographical area, line of business, or other terms of any Restrictive Covenant causes it to be unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, the parties agree that the Restrictive Covenant automatically will be reformed for purposes of enforcement in that jurisdiction to the maximum duration, geographical area, line of business or other terms that are valid and enforceable in that jurisdiction, and the court or arbitration panel shall be allowed and directed to revise such Restrictive Covenant to effectuate this intent. Reformation and revision of a Restrictive Covenant to validate its enforcement in any particular jurisdiction, however, will not affect the enforcement of the Restrictive Covenant as stated in any other jurisdiction in which it is enforceable as stated. If a Restrictive Covenant is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration panel to be unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable from the remaining provisions of this Agreement and will not affect the validity, interpretation, or effect of the other provisions of this Agreement or the application of the Restrictive Covenant to other circumstances in which it is enforceable. The invalidity of a Restrictive Covenant in any particular jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforcement of the restriction in another jurisdiction where it is otherwise valid.

(d) In the event of the breach or threatened breach by a Restricted Person of a Restrictive Covenant, each Restricted Person agrees that the Buyer shall be entitled to injunctions, both preliminary and final, enjoining and restraining such breach or threatened breach and such remedies shall be in addition to all other remedies which may be available to the Buyer either at law or in equity. Each Restricted Person acknowledges, stipulates, and agrees that a violation of a Restrictive Covenant shall diminish the value of the Acquired Business to the Buyer and cause it to suffer irreparable damages, including the inability of the Buyer to prove specific money damages, and the Restricted Person agrees that it or he is estopped from subsequently asserting in any action to enforce the provisions of a Restrictive Covenant that the Buyer has an adequate remedy at law and therefore is not entitled to injunctive relief. Without limiting other available remedies, the Buyer shall be entitled to recover from a Restricted Person all profit, remuneration or other consideration that it or the gains from breaching any Restrictive Covenant, or portion thereof, and recover from the Restricted Person compensation sufficient to make the Buyer whole for all Losses that the Buyer suffers as a result of the breach. Further, in order to provide the Buyer with the full benefit of the Restricted Period, if a Restricted Person breaches any Restrictive Covenant, the duration of such Restrictive Covenant shall be automatically extended as to that Restricted Person for the number of days that such breach continues (provided that if the breach is by the Seller, the duration of such Restrictive Covenant shall also be extended for all of the Shareholders).

(e) The Restrictive Covenants are intended by each party hereto to be, and shall be construed as, agreements independent of each other and of any other agreement between the parties, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of a Restricted Person against the Buyer, whether predicated on this Agreement, another Transaction Document, his Employment Agreement or Consulting Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Buyer of the Restrictive Covenants.

Section 4.3 Further Assurances. On and after the Closing Date, the Seller, the Shareholders and the Buyer shall cooperate and use all of their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all appropriate actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or appropriate to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller and the Shareholders shall, at any time and from time to time after the Closing, at the request of the Buyer and without additional consideration, execute and deliver such certificates, notices, instruments or documents of sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment, and take such other actions as the Buyer may deem necessary or desirable to (a) effectively sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Assets (and good, valid and marketable title thereto) to the Buyer and its successors and assigns, (b) put the Buyer and its successors and assigns in actual possession and operating control of the Assets, (c) assist the Buyer in exercising all rights with respect to the Assets, (d) confirm to any other Person the ownership of the Assets, or (e) otherwise carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement, including executing any required forms or consents to permit Buyer to retain Seller’s existing telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, email addresses and Internet domain names from and after the Closing.

Section 4.4 Publicity. Neither Seller nor any Shareholder shall issue a press release or make any other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Buyer. Buyer shall be permitted to issue a press release and make other public announcements concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without the prior consent of the Seller; provided that, prior to issuing any press release, Buyer shall permit the Seller to review the press release. Buyer and Seller agree that a press release in the form of Exhibit 4.4 is acceptable to both parties.

Section 4.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Seller and the Buyer agree that the Purchase Price (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the Assets for tax purposes in a manner consistent with Sections 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, based upon the fair market values of such assets consistent with an allocation schedule to be agreed upon by the parties. The parties agree to timely file IRS Form 8594 and other Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the allocation schedule.

Section 4.6 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, recording and other such transfer Taxes and governmental fees (including any penalties and interest), as applicable, incurred in connection with the sale and transfer of the Assets shall be paid by the Seller. The parties will cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary to make such filings or Tax Returns as may be required. The parties will cooperate with each other and use their reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the Taxes attributable to the transfer of the Assets, subject to Law.

Section 4.7 Proration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any personal property Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Assets and other expense items (such as rent, utilities and similar expenses), if any, that are Assumed Liabilities that relate to a period beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date shall be apportioned as of the Closing such that the Seller shall be liable for (and shall reimburse the Buyer to the extent that the Buyer shall have paid) that portion of such Taxes and other expense items relating to, or arising in respect of, periods through the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and the Buyer shall be liable for (and shall reimburse the Seller to the extent such party shall have paid) that portion of such Taxes and other expense items relating to, or arising in respect to, periods from and after the Closing Date. All amounts to be prorated will, to the extent reasonably feasible, be taken into account in determining the Working Capital Adjustment. To the extent the amounts of any such proratable items are not taken into account in determining the Working Capital Adjustment, appropriate settlement will made within thirty (30) days after the amount of any such item is finally known.

Section 4.8 Purchase of Software Licenses. As described in Part 3.1(q)(vi) of the Disclosure Schedule, additional seat licenses for various Microsoft software products are required for the current operation of the Business. As soon as possible after the Closing, Seller agrees to pay, or reimburse Buyer, for the software seat licenses that are reasonably required to comply with the Microsoft terms and conditions of use. Buyer agrees to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in securing the lowest pricing for such additional software licenses, including Buyer acquiring the licenses on behalf of Seller, subject to reimbursement by Seller, if Buyer can negotiate a lower price.

Section 4.9 Transition.

(a) Audit. Following the Closing, the Seller and the Shareholders shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer to facilitate an audit of the Seller’s financial results and condition, and shall consent, and hereby consents, to the filing of the resulting audited financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) Name Change. No later than fifteen (15) days, after the Closing, the Seller shall (i) change its name and any trade or other names to names that are sufficiently dissimilar from “HPI Direct” and “UniformZoom” (or any derivatives of such names), to the satisfaction of the Buyer, and (ii) discontinue its use of such names (or any derivatives thereof) for any and all purposes whatsoever. The Seller shall transfer to the Buyer any assumed name filing or registration including the words “HPI Direct” or “UniformZoom” (or any derivatives thereof) or, if not transmitted to the Buyer, upon the Buyer’s written request, cancel the same.

(c) Cooperation. After the Closing, the Seller and the Shareholders shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in its efforts to continue, and maintain for the benefit of the Buyer, those business relationships of the Seller and the Shareholders existing as of the Closing relating to the Acquired Business, including relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and independent contractors.

(d) Collections. From and after the Effective Time, if the Seller or any of its Affiliates receives or collects any funds relating to any accounts receivable or any other Asset, the Seller or its Affiliate shall immediately remit such funds to the Buyer without deduction or offset. Without limiting the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 2.7(b)(ii), all payments received from customers of the Acquired Business on the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Buyer and shall be immediately remitted to the Buyer. The Seller hereby grants to the Buyer the power, right and authority, coupled with an interest, to receive, endorse, cash, deposit, and otherwise deal with, in the name of the Seller, any checks, drafts, documents and instruments evidencing payment of any notes, accounts receivable or other payment rights included in the Assets and that are payable to, payable to the order of, or endorsed in favor of the Seller.

(e) Tax Certificates. Seller shall deliver to Buyer within 30 days after the Closing a tax clearance certificate for each of Florida and New York.

(f) Shareholders’ Agreement. The Seller and the Shareholders (i) hereby waive all of their respective rights under Section 4.1 (General Terms of Employment), Section 4.2 (Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Covenants) and Section 4.3 (Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure; Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights) under the Shareholders’ Agreement, in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and (ii) shall enter into an amendment to the Shareholders’ Agreement within 15 days after the Closing to terminate their respective rights under such sections of the Shareholders’ Agreement.

All of the covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive after the date of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

Section 5.2 Indemnification of the Buyer Parties. From and after the Closing, the Seller and the Shareholders, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, partners, managers, members, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Parties” but for the avoidance of doubt, in each case, excluding the Shareholders) from and against any and all Losses, whether or not arising from a Third Party Claim, incurred by a Buyer Party that arises out of, results from, or is connected with (a) the inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller and the Shareholders set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; (b) the failure or breach of the Seller or the Shareholders to perform any of their respective covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents; or (c) any Excluded Liability.

Section 5.3 Indemnification of the Seller and Shareholders. From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and the Shareholders from and against any and all Losses, whether or not arising from a Third Party Claim, incurred by the Seller or the Shareholders that arises out of, results from, or is connected with: (a) the inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (b) the failure or breach of the Buyer to perform any of its respective covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents; or (c) subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 5.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) The Seller and Shareholders will not have any obligation under Section 5.2(a), unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Seller and Shareholders are obligated thereunder exceeds $100,000 (the "Threshold"); provided, however, that if such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Threshold, then the Seller and Shareholders will be obligated for all of such Losses (including those equal to or less than the Threshold), subject to the other terms of this Article V.

(b) The obligations of Seller and the Shareholders under Section 5.2(a), in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to $5,500,000, plus up to $2 million of the amount of the Contingent Future Payments (the "Sellers’ Cap"), subject to the other terms of this Article V.

(c) Buyer will not have any obligation under Section 5.3(a), unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses for which Buyer is obligated thereunder exceeds the Threshold; provided, however, that if such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Threshold, then the Buyer will be obligated for all of such Losses (including those equal to or less than the Threshold), subject to the other terms of this Article V.

(d) Buyer’s obligations under Section 5.3(a), in the aggregate, will not exceed an amount equal to $5,500,000 (“Buyer’s Cap”), subject to the other terms of this Article V.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section, the Indemnified Parties will be entitled to recover for, and the Threshold, the Sellers’ Cap, and the Buyer’s Cap will not apply to, any Losses arising out of, in connection with or related to: (A) fraud or willful misconduct; (B) fraudulent misrepresentation; or (C) any breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.1(a) (Due Organization), Section 3.1(b) (Capacity, Authorization), Section 3.1(c) (Governmental Filings), Section 3.1(d) (Subsidiaries), Section 3.1(f) (No Conflict or Violation), Section 3.1(h) (Title to Assets), Section 3.1(i) (Taxes), and Section 3.1(m) (Compliance; Environmental Matters).

(f) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 shall be limited to the amount of any Losses that remain after deducting from such Losses any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties from any third party with respect to such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnifying Party is required to pursue or attempt to recover any insurance and the Indemnifying Party shall not defer payment of Losses to the Indemnified Party pending the resolution of insurance claims.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of determining the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty for purposes of Section 5.2(a), and for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses of the Buyer Parties, each representation and warranty of the Seller and the Shareholders shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar standard or qualification contained therein (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation or warranty).

(h) The representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller and the Shareholders and the Buyer Parties’ rights to indemnification with respect thereto shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Buyer or any other Buyer Party (including by any of their advisors, consultants or representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Buyer or any other Buyer Party or any of such advisors, consultants or representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

Section 5.5 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article V is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claim is asserted under this Article V is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party (the approval of counsel not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is the Seller (or a Shareholder), such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier, vendor or customer of the Business, or any other Person that has a business relationship with the Acquired Business or the Buyer, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party, subject, in each case, to the limitations in Section 5.5(b). The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is recommended. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 5.5(b), pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller, the Shareholders and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 5.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim.

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.6 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article V, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within five (5) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such five (5) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the day the underlying payment is due (or the next most recent business day, if such day was not a business day) plus five percent (5%), or, if less, the maximum interest rate legally chargeable by applicable Law. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 5.7 Set-Off. Upon notice to the Seller, after the Escrow Fund has been depleted, the Buyer may set off any amount to which any Buyer Party claims to be entitled from the Seller or the Shareholders against amounts otherwise payable to the Seller or the Shareholders. The exercise of such right of setoff by the Buyer in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute a default under this Agreement, regardless of whether the Seller or Shareholders dispute such setoff claim, or whether such setoff claim is for a contingent or an unliquidated amount. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to exercise, such right of setoff will constitute an election of remedies or limit in any manner the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to the Buyer or any other Person.

Section 5.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 5.9 Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided in this Article V are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.

ARTICLE VI

ADDITIONAL OPERATIVE PROVISIONS

Section 6.1 Assignment; Binding Effect. This Agreement and the rights hereunder are not assignable unless such assignment is consented to in writing by all of the parties and, subject to the preceding clause, this Agreement and all the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Buyer shall be permitted, without the consent of the other parties, to make a collateral assignment of its rights hereunder to its or its Affiliates’ lenders (or an agent thereof) for security purposes and such lenders (or agent thereof) may exercise remedies in connection therewith, and (b) the Buyer shall be permitted, without the consent of the other parties, to assign this Agreement (including its rights under the Restrictive Covenants) in connection with a sale or merger of all or any portion of the Acquired Business in any form of transaction.

Section 6.2 Choice of Law. This Agreement and all claims arising from and relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of Laws rules thereof.

Section 6.3 Arbitration. Any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies, and other matters in question arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the validity or performance hereof and thereof (collectively, “Disputes”), even though some or all of such Disputes allegedly are extra-contractual in nature, and whether such Disputes sound in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, following the procedures contained in this Section 6.3, except that this Section 6.3 shall not apply to Disputes governed by Sections 2.7(c) or 2.8(c). A panel of three arbitrators (collectively, the “Arbitrators”) shall be selected as follows: (i) one arbitrator shall be selected by the Seller, (ii) one arbitrator shall be selected by the Buyer, and (iii) one arbitrator shall be mutually agreed to by the Seller and the Buyer; provided that, if the parties cannot mutually agree to the third Arbitrator, the third Arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its panel of neutral arbitrators. Each Arbitrator must be independent and have reasonable experience in acquisition transactions of the type provided for in this Agreement. Each party agrees to execute an engagement letter in the customary form required by the Arbitrators. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect from time to time (the “Commercial Rules”), except as modified by the agreement of the parties and the following provisions:

(a) On any conflict between the Commercial Rules in effect from time to time and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall be controlling.

(b) The forum for arbitration shall be in Tampa, Florida or Pinellas County, Florida, if Buyer is the defendant or respondent in an arbitration proceeding, or the forum shall be in Atlanta, Georgia, if Seller is the defendant or respondent in an arbitration proceeding. Any party may commence arbitration of a Dispute by a demand for arbitration served on the other parties under Section 6.4.

(c) The Arbitrators will be empowered to hear all Disputes, including the determination of the scope of arbitration. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, (i) each party will, on the written request of the other party, promptly provide the other with copies of non-privileged documents relevant to the issues raised in any Dispute, and (ii) at the request of any party, the Arbitrators shall have the discretion to order examination of witnesses to the extent the Arbitrators deem such additional discovery relevant and appropriate based on good cause shown and with due consideration for the nature of the Dispute and the amount in dispute. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, will be conclusively determined by the Arbitrators.

(d) The Arbitrators may enter a default decision against any party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceeding.

(e) The Arbitrators shall be bound by and shall enforce the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Arbitrators’ decision shall be made by majority vote of the Arbitrators. The Arbitrators’ decision shall in writing and in the form of a reasoned opinion, and a court reporter shall record all hearings. Any award rendered by the Arbitrators regarding the Dispute shall be final, non-appealable, conclusive and binding upon the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Arbitrators shall have no power or authority to grant punitive damages, injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit a party from instituting judicial proceedings to (a) compel arbitration in accordance with this Section 6.3; (b) obtain orders to require witnesses to obey subpoenas issued by the Arbitrators or as may otherwise be necessary to facilitate the arbitration proceedings; (c) seek injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief (including to enforce the Restrictive Covenants); or (d) secure confirmation or enforcement of any arbitration award rendered pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be considered in interpreting or construing any of the provisions contained in this Agreement.

Section 6.7 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, each party hereto shall bear its own costs and expenses (including investment advisory and legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In the event of a lawsuit, arbitration, or other legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party, on demand, for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including those for in-house counsel, actually incurred, those incurred in litigating entitlement to attorneys’ fees and costs, and those incurred in determining or quantifying the amount of recoverable attorneys’ fees and costs. The reasonable “costs” to which the prevailing party is entitled to recover shall include costs that are taxable under any applicable Law or guideline, as well as non-taxable costs, including costs of investigation, copying costs, electronic discovery costs, electronic research costs, telephone charges, mailing and delivery charges, consultant and expert witness fees, travel expenses, court reporter fees, and mediator fees, regardless of whether, in each case, such cost is otherwise taxable or non-taxable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in the case of arbitration, (a) each party shall pay all of the fees and costs payable to the Arbitrator that it selects, whether or not it is the prevailing party, and (b) the fees and costs payable to the mutually agreed-upon Arbitrator or Arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association shall be paid by the non-prevailing party. For clarity, all other expenses and costs incurred in arbitration shall be recoverable by the prevailing party in accordance with this Section 6.7.

Section 6.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto), the Transaction Documents and the other agreements, instruments and documents executed and delivered among the parties hereto at or in connection with the Closing constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter, including the letter of intent dated May 15, 2013.

Section 6.9 Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made to an Article, Section or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, Section or Schedule of or to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrase “ordinary course of business” and variations thereof shall include consistent with past practices, including without material deviation from the Seller’s general past practices and experiences regarding the frequency and quantity of the matter in question. Unless the context requires otherwise, words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other genders. References to “dollars” or “$” are to U.S. dollars. The terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement. The phrase “made available” means the referenced document was physically delivered to the Buyer or its agents at any time prior to the execution of this Agreement or was posted and accessible to the Buyer and its agents in the electronic data room for this transaction no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement and remained so through the date of this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement was prepared jointly by the parties hereto and no rule that it be construed against the drafter will have any application in its construction or interpretation.

(c) The parties intend that each representation, warranty, covenant, and agreement contained in this Agreement will have independent significance. The fact that any conduct or state of facts may be within the scope of two or more representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in this Agreement, whether relating to the same or different subject matters and regardless of the relative levels of specificity, shall not be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

(d) No disclosure in any Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract, Permit or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred, or shall constitute an admission of liability to any third party. Information set forth in one part of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to other parts of the Disclosure Schedule if and solely to the extent that application to such other parts is readily apparent from the face of such disclosure (without reference to or analysis or review of any underlying documents, instruments or information). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule to the contrary, nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty unless the applicable part of the Disclosure Schedule expressly identifies the exception and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail.

Section 6.10 Waiver and Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed by all of the parties hereto. Any condition or performance due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be waived only by a written instrument specifically identifying the condition or performance which is waived, such waiver shall be executed by all parties for whom such condition or performance would constitute any benefit, and such written waiver shall be delivered by such waiving party to all other parties so as to effect notice of the same in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement. No waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with any obligations, covenant, agreement or condition shall operate as a waiver of or estoppel with respect to any subsequent condition or performance due.

Section 6.11 Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein express or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder, except that the Buyer Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of Article V.

Section 6.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof or such provision to any other person or circumstance or in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.13 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterpart signature pages, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement, which shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto notwithstanding the fact that all parties are not signatories to the same counterpart. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature.

Section 6.14 Specific Performance. The Seller and the Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the Buyer would be irreparably harmed if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by the Seller and the Shareholders could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, the Seller and the Shareholders agree that, in addition to any other right or remedy to which the Buyer may be entitled at law or in equity, the Buyer shall be entitled to enforce any and/or all provision(s) of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to obtain temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches, without posting any bond or giving any other undertaking.

- 55 -

Section 9.1 Investment of Escrow Fund. Unless otherwise instructed in joint written instructions signed by the Purchaser and the Seller, the Escrow Agent shall invest all funds held pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the Investment Selection Instructions set forth as Exhibit C hereto. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any loss resulting from investments made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part. All income from such invested cash shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent as part of the Escrow Fund. On or before the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall provide the Escrow Agent a completed Form W-9 or W-8, whichever is appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided, except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to prepare or file any federal or state tax report or return with respect to any funds held pursuant to this Agreement or any income earned thereon. The Parties agree to treat the Seller as the owner of the Escrow Amount for federal, state and local tax purposes. Any taxes payable on income earned from the investment of any sums in the Escrow Fund shall be paid by the Seller, whether or not the income was distributed by the Escrow Agent during any particular year, as and to the extent required by law.

Any other tax returns required to be filed will be prepared and filed by the Seller with the IRS and any other taxing authority as required by law.

Section 9.2 Disbursement of the Escrow Fund.

(a)

If, at any time from the Effective Date until the earliest of (i) eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date (such date, the “Escrow Termination Date”), or (ii) the date on which the amount of the Escrow Fund has been reduced to zero, the Purchaser believes that any Buyer Party is entitled to indemnification from the Seller and/or the Shareholders pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser may deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Seller a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail (to the extent then available) (1) the facts constituting the basis for such indemnification claim (a “Claim”), (2) the amount sought therefor, or an estimate thereof, from the Escrow Fund (a “Claimed Amount”) and (3) instructions for disbursement. Beginning on the date that a Claim Notice is received by the Escrow Agent and the Seller, the Seller shall have 30 days (the “Notice Period”) to deliver to the Escrow Agent, with copies to the Purchaser, a notice of written objection disputing in good faith the Claim Notice (or a portion thereof) and describing in reasonable detail the basis for why the Purchaser is not entitled to the Claimed Amount (or portion thereof) and the portion of the Claimed Amount being disputed (such notice, a “Dispute Notice”). If the Escrow Agent does not receive a Dispute Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the last day of the Notice Period, the Escrow Agent shall within two (2) business days release the Claimed Amount (but, in any event, no more than the Escrow Fund as of such date) in accordance with the disbursement instructions contained in the Claim Notice. If the Escrow Agent receives a Dispute Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the last day of the Notice Period, the Escrow Agent shall reserve and continue to hold as part of the Escrow Fund the disputed portion of the Claimed Amount until (x) it receives Joint Written Instructions (as defined below) as to the disposition of such sum or (y) it is otherwise directed by a Court Order (as defined below). The delivery to the Escrow Agent of a Court Order shall constitute a representation to the Escrow Agent that such order or decree complies with the requirements of this Section 3.2(a) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely thereon without any further duty of inquiry. The term “Court Order” shall mean a final, non-appealable order or judgment from a foreign, domestic, federal, territorial, state or local court, tribunal or governmental authority with lawful authority to issue an order or judgment with respect to the matter in dispute.

- 56 -

(b)

On the date that is nine (9) months after the Effective Date (or the first business day thereafter if such date is not a business day) (the “Early Release Date”), Escrow Agent shall release to the Seller an amount (the “Early Release Amount”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Amount, including all accrued interest as of the Early Release Date, less (i) the aggregate amount of all Unresolved Claims (as defined below) and (ii) all amounts released to Purchaser prior to the Early Release Date.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Escrow Agent receives joint written instructions from the Purchaser and the Seller, or their respective successors or permitted assigns, as to the disbursement of some or all of the Escrow Fund (“Joint Written Instructions”), the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Fund (or any portion thereof) pursuant to such Joint Written Instructions.

(d)

If any Dispute Notice includes an objection to only a portion of a Claimed Amount, the Escrow Agent promptly (but in any event within two (2) business days after receipt of the applicable Dispute Notice) shall release an amount of the Escrow Fund equal to the portion of the Claimed Amount for which there is no objection (but, in any event, no more than the Escrow Fund as of such date) in accordance with the disbursement instructions contained in the Claim Notice; provided, that such partial release by the Escrow Agent shall not terminate or otherwise prejudice the Purchaser’s rights with respect to amounts claimed in any Claim which are in excess of the amounts so released.

(e)

Promptly following the Escrow Termination Date, but in any event not later than three (3) business days after the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Seller an amount equal to the Escrow Fund as of the Escrow Termination Date less any Unresolved Claims. “Unresolved Claims” shall mean Claimed Amounts or portions thereof that are the subject of a Dispute Notice or that are otherwise unsatisfied as of the Escrow Termination Date or the Early Release Date, as applicable, including the full amount of any Claims for which a Claim Notice has been delivered but for which the applicable Notice Period has not expired as of the Escrow Termination Date or the Early Release Date, as applicable. With respect to any portion of the Escrow Fund that is held by the Escrow Agent beyond the Escrow Termination Date pursuant to the prior sentence, promptly upon (but in any event within two (2) business days after) (A) the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a Court Order respecting any Unresolved Claims that are the subject of a Dispute Notice or (B) the expiration of the applicable Notice Period for any Unresolved Claims with respect to which no Dispute Notice has been delivered, the Escrow Agent shall release by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by the Purchaser in the Claim Notice a portion of the Escrow Fund equal to the amount of funds to be released to the Purchaser pursuant to such Court Order or the amount of such Unresolved Claim for which no Dispute Notice has been delivered, as the case may be. After the resolution of each Unresolved Claim after the Escrow Termination Date, and unless otherwise instructed by the Seller, the remaining amount of the Escrow Fund not distributed to the Purchaser pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence less the amount of all remaining Unresolved Claims shall be released promptly (but in any event within two (2) business days) thereafter by the Escrow Agent to the Seller.

Section 10.1 Duties. In performing its duties under this Agreement or upon the claimed failure to perform its duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall have no liability except for the Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility shall be for the safekeeping and disbursement of the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein.

In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, special or punitive damages. The Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action or to commence any proceeding in connection with the Escrow Fund, any account in which the Escrow Fund is deposited, or this Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceedings. The Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement or of its duties hereunder, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected from any liability whatsoever in acting in accordance with the advice, opinion or instruction of such counsel. The Purchaser, the Seller and the Shareholders shall be jointly and severally liable for, and shall promptly pay, upon demand, the reasonable fees and expenses incurred pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability with respect to the transfer or distribution of any funds effected by the Escrow Agent pursuant to wiring or transfer instructions provided to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to take notice of or have any obligations or responsibilities in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or any other agreement between any other parties to the Purchase Agreement, other than this Agreement.

- 58 -

Section 10.2 Indemnification.

(a)

From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser, the Seller and the Shareholders shall, jointly and severally, to the fullest extent permitted by law and to the extent provided herein, indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of the Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof in connection with the Escrow Agent’s good faith acceptance of and performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability (or any cost or expense related to such liability, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) finally determined by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. If any such action or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Purchaser and the Seller in writing, and the Purchaser and the Seller shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all expenses. Such Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Purchaser and the Seller agree in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Purchaser and the Seller shall fail to assume the defense of such action or proceeding or shall fail, in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnified Party, to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in any such action or proceeding, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Purchaser or the Seller, on the other hand, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Purchaser or the Seller. All such fees and expenses payable by the Purchaser and the Seller pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be paid from time to time as incurred, both in advance of and after the final disposition of such action or claim. All of the foregoing losses, damages, costs and expenses of the Indemnified Parties shall be payable upon demand of such Indemnified Party, jointly and severally, by the Seller, the Purchaser and the Shareholders. The obligations of the Purchaser, the Seller and the Shareholders under this Section 4.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

- 59 -

(b)

The Seller, the Shareholders and the Purchaser agree, solely among themselves, that any obligation for indemnification under this Section 4.2 shall be borne one-half by the Purchaser, and one-half by the Seller and the Shareholders jointly and severally, provided that the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, the Shareholder(s) or both, on the other hand, shall each have a right of contribution against the other for liability incurred under this Agreement in accordance with the other’s relative fault.

Section 10.3 Disputes. If, at any time, there shall exist any dispute between the Purchaser and the Seller with respect to the holding or disposition of any portion of the Escrow Fund or any other obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or if at any time the Escrow Agent is unable to determine, to the Escrow Agent’s sole satisfaction, the proper disposition of any portion of the Escrow Fund or the Escrow Agent’s proper actions with respect to its obligations hereunder, or if the Purchaser and the Seller have not, within 30 days of the furnishing by the Escrow Agent of a notice of resignation pursuant to Section 4.4 below, appointed a successor escrow agent to act hereunder, then the Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions:

(a)

suspend the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement until such dispute or uncertainty shall be resolved to the sole satisfaction of the Escrow Agent or until a successor escrow agent shall have been appointed (as the case may be); or

(b)

petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction, for instructions with respect to such dispute or uncertainty, and pay into or deposit with such court all disputed Escrow Funds held by it in the Escrow Fund for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court, and the Escrow Agent shall thereupon be discharged from all further obligations as Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

The Escrow Agent shall have no liability to the Purchaser, the Seller or any other person with respect to any such suspension of performance or disbursement into court, specifically including any liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as a result of any delay in the disbursement of funds held in the Escrow Fund or any delay in or with respect to any other action required or requested of the Escrow Agent.

Section 10.4 Resignation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser and the Seller or may be removed, with or without cause, by the Purchaser and the Seller, acting jointly, at any time by the giving of ten days’ prior written notice to the Escrow Agent. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor escrow agent as provided herein. Upon any such notice of resignation or removal, the Purchaser and the Seller, acting jointly, shall appoint a successor escrow agent hereunder, which shall be a commercial bank, trust company or other financial institution. In the event the Purchaser and the Seller shall fail to appoint a successor escrow agent within 30 days after the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent, as contemplated hereby, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Fund into the registry of a court of competent jurisdiction and shall thereupon be discharged from all further duties as Escrow Agent under this Agreement. If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to agree on a successor escrow agent within such 30-day period, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or other appropriate relief. Upon the acceptance in writing of any appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor escrow agent, such successor escrow agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow Agent, and the retiring Escrow Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, but shall not be discharged from any liability for actions taken as Escrow Agent hereunder prior to such succession. After any retiring Escrow Agent’s resignation or removal, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Escrow Agent under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to name any successor escrow agent.

- 60 -

Section 10.5 Receipt. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Fund.

Section 10.6 Fees. The Purchaser, the Seller and the Shareholders jointly and severally agree to pay the Escrow Agent compensation, and to reimburse the Escrow Agent for out-of-pocket expenses, all in accordance with the provisions of Schedule A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, and further agree that the Escrow Agent shall have a lien on the Escrow Fund for payment of its fees and expenses from amounts held in the Escrow Fund if such fees and expenses are not otherwise paid and without judicial action to foreclose such lien. The obligations of the Purchaser, the Seller and the Shareholders under this Section 4.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. The Seller, the Shareholders and the Purchaser (each a “Transaction Party”) agree, solely among themselves, that (i) any Acceptance/Legal Review Fee and the $2,500 annual Administration Fee (collectively the “Covered Fees”), both as described on Schedule A hereto, shall be paid in full by the Purchaser, and (ii) that all fees and compensation to be paid to Escrow Agent hereunder (except the Covered Fees) and reimbursement for Escrow Agent’s out-of-pocket expenses shall be borne one-half by the Purchaser, and one-half by the Seller and the Shareholders jointly and severally. If a Transaction Party is required to pay to the Escrow Agent any compensation, fees or out-of-pocket expenses that are the responsibility of another Transaction Party hereunder (including as a result of any deduction by Escrow Agent from the Escrow Fund), then the Transaction Party that is responsible for such compensation, fees or out-of-pocket expenses (or a portion thereof) that was paid by the other Transaction Party shall promptly reimburse the other Transaction Party for such payment.

Section 11.2 Time of the Essence; Computation of Time. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge of any duty under this Agreement shall fall upon a Saturday, Sunday or any date on which banks in Georgia are closed, the Party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day which is a regular business day.

Section 11.3 Assignment; Successors in Interest. No assignment or transfer by any Party of such Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, from one Party to another Party to this Agreement) shall be made except with the prior written consent of the other Parties to this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors (including any party which acquires all or substantially all the assets of any of the Parties) and permitted assigns, and any reference to a Party shall also be a reference to the successors and permitted assigns thereof.

Section 11.4 Captions. The titles, captions and table of contents contained in this Agreement are inserted in this Agreement only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 11.5 Waiver. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any extension or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. A waiver by a Party of the performance of any covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty shall not be construed as a waiver of any other covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty. A waiver by any Party of the performance of any act will not constitute a waiver of the performance of any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time.

Section 11.6 Construction. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and neither for nor against any Party hereto irrespective of which Party caused such provisions to be drafted. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has been represented by an attorney in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement.

Section 11.7 No Limitation. The Parties (other than the Escrow Agent) agree that the rights and remedies of any Party under this Agreement shall not operate to limit any other rights and remedies otherwise available to any party under the Purchase Agreement.

- 63 -

Section 11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or the terms of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one of such counterparts. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or as an attachment to email shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 11.9 Arbitration. Subject to the rights of the Escrow Agent under Section 4.4, any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies, and other matters in question (collectively, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement; provided, that if such Dispute is among the Seller, the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent, then the third Arbitrator shall be appointed by the Escrow Agent (instead of upon mutual agreement of the Purchaser and Seller); provided, further, that if the Escrow Agent does not appoint the third Arbitrator, then the third Arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its panel of neutral arbitrators. If the Dispute hereunder involves only the Escrow Agent and the Purchaser or the Seller, then Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that the references in such section to the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, that is not a party to the Dispute shall be read to mean the Escrow Agent.

Section 11.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of Law that renders any such provision prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 11.11 Governing Law and Choice of Forum. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF GEORGIA TO BE APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY.

Section 11.12 Other Transactions with the Purchaser or the Seller. The Escrow Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Escrow Agent may become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Purchaser or the Seller may be interested, and contract and lend money to the Purchaser or the Seller and otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Escrow Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Escrow Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Purchaser, the Seller or for any other entity.

- 64 -

5.12. Authorized Signatures. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and, if necessary, from time to time thereafter, each of the parties to this Agreement (other than the Escrow Agent) shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a Certificate of Incumbency substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 and B-2 hereto (a “Certificate of Incumbency”) for the purpose of establishing the identity and authority of persons entitled to issue notices, instructions or directions to the Escrow Agent on behalf of each such party. Until such time as the Escrow Agent shall receive an amended Certificate of Incumbency replacing any Certificate of Incumbency theretofore delivered to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in relying, without further inquiry, on the most recent Certificate of Incumbency furnished to the Escrow Agent. Whenever this Agreement provides for joint written notices, joint written instructions or other joint actions to be delivered to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in relying, without further inquiry, on any joint written notice, instructions or action executed by persons named in such Certificate of Incumbency.

● Superior Uniform Group Announces Acquisition of HPI Direct, Inc

● Expects Early Accretion to Earnings

SEMINOLE, Florida – July 1, 2013 –Superior Uniform Group, Inc. (“Superior Uniform Group” or “Superior”) (NASDAQ: SGC), today announced the acquisition of HPI Direct, Inc. (“HPI” or “HPI Direct”) of Alpharetta, Georgia, effective today. Since 1993, HPI Direct has built a stellar reputation for quality and responsiveness as a privately owned company specializing in the design, manufacture and distribution of uniforms to major domestic retailers, foodservice chains, transportation and other service industries throughout the U.S. HPI’s award-winning image apparel is worn by some of the most prestigious brands in the markets that they serve. The transaction is an asset purchase including the assumption of certain liabilities.

The purchase price for the acquisition consists of approximately $32.5 million in cash, subject to adjustment, the issuance of approximately $2.3 million in shares of Superior Uniform Group’s common stock, the potential future payment of up to $7.2 million in additional contingent consideration through 2017, and the assumption of certain liabilities of HPI Direct. The transaction also includes the acquisition of the corporate offices and warehouse distribution facility from an entity related to HPI Direct, Inc. Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, Superior renewed its $15 million revolver agreement and entered into a new term loan for $30 million. Both credit facilities carry five year terms and variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.95%.

"This union brings to Superior Uniform Group an outstanding sales, marketing and customer centric team of people. Their outstanding customer base will further enhance our overall position in the retail, food service, transportation and other markets that they serve" said Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, CEO of Superior Uniform Group. “We are very pleased to combine our financial strength and vast resources with HPI’s strong leadership and reputation for excellence. The ability to combine the strengths of what were two competing organizations is very exciting. Together, we will be a powerful force to be reckoned with. HPI’s revenues for the first six months of 2013 were approximately $ 16.0 million. We expect this acquisition to be accretive to our operating results in 2013 exclusive of acquisition related expenses.”

“Since 1993, we've built a reputation for quality and responsiveness, not just for our great products and designs, but for our entire customer support system” said Xxxxx Xxxx, President and Shareholder of HPI Direct, Inc. “Our goal to seek improvement every day in our products, service, technology and ultimately our customer satisfaction is very well aligned with Superior’s philosophy of always putting customers first.

We believe that this combination with Superior will provide us with the financial backing that we need to continue to provide a great experience for our customers while also allowing us to continue to invest in the future growth of our business. We are very happy that Superior feels strongly about maintaining and fomenting the same culture that has made us successful in the past.”

HPI Direct will continue to service its customers from its location in Alpharetta, Georgia and will operate as a division of Superior Uniform Group. The three principals of HPI Direct will remain with the division under long-term agreements.
