EFFECT OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

3.1 Effect of Merger on Company Common Stock; Merger Consideration.

(a) At the Effective Time (subject to provisions below), all 525 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Westcon (the “Exchanged Shares”) being the only shares of capital stock of Westcon issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger, automatically without any action on the part of the Selling Shareholder, as the sole shareholder thereof, be converted, upon surrender of the certificates representing each such shares, into the right to receive 150,000 shares of Transcat Common Stock, which will be valued as the average closing price per share of the common stock over the thirty (30) trading days for the common stock ending on the second to last trading day prior to the Closing (the “Stock Merger Consideration”).

(b) At the Effective Time, all shares of Westcon Common Stock and certificate which previously represented any such share of Westcon Common Stock (each, a “Westcon Certificate” and, collectively, the “Westcon Certificates”) shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the Selling Shareholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration which Selling Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.1, to be issued or paid in consideration therefore upon surrender of such certificate(s) in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

(c) At the Effective Time, all shares of Westcon Common Stock held by Westcon as treasury stock, if any, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and Westcon shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

(d) The Stock Merger Consideration shall be allocated to and distributed wholly to the Selling Shareholder as the sole shareholder of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the securities issuable to the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Stock Merger Consideration, shall be unregistered shares of Transcat Common Stock issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and bearing a restrictive legend in form set forth on Exhibit A (the “Transcat Stock Restrictions”).

3.2 Payment of Cash Merger Consideration; Adjustments

(a) The Cash Merger Consideration shall be paid and distributed by Transcat in accordance with subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) below as follows:

	(i)		On the Closing Date, Transcat will pay to the holder of the Westcon Debt an amount equal to the Westcon Debt contemplated to be paid in cash in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Pay-Off Letter;

	(ii)		On the Closing Date, Transcat shall pay to the Selling Shareholder a cash payment in an amount equal to $4,216,096.55, less the amount, if any, by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital (the “*Initial Cash Payment*”); and

	(iii)		Subject to adjustment, offset or acceleration as provided herein, Transcat will pay Selling Shareholder cash payments on October 1, 2009 unless Selling Shareholder has exercised the Holdback Audit Right as set forth in Section 3.2(d) below of (i) $1,195,000 (“*Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit Holdback Payment”) and $229,000 (“Wind Energy Calibration Service Holdback Payment” and collectively with the Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit Holdback Payment the “Holdback Cash Payments*”).

(b) By way of illustration only, Section 3.2(b) of the Westcon Disclosure Schedules sets forth a hypothetical example of the payment of the Merger Consideration, including the issuance of the Stock Merger Consideration and the adjustment to and distribution of the Cash Merger Consideration.

(c) Transcat shall prepare and within seventy-five (75) days following the Closing deliver to Selling Shareholder the Final Working Capital Schedule. The Final Working Capital Schedule, as determined by Transcat, shall be conclusive, final and binding on the Parties for purposes of determining the Net Working Capital, Working Capital Surplus and Working Capital Deficit but shall not affect any of Transcat’s or Merger Sub’s rights under this Agreement, including without limitation under Article 10. To the extent there is a Working Capital Surplus, Transcat will pay Selling Shareholder an amount equal to such Working Capital Surplus within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the Final Working Capital Schedule.

(d) To the extent there is a Working Capital Deficit, within fifteen (15) days following the delivery of the Final Working Capital Schedule, the Selling Shareholder agrees to pay to Transcat in cash (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Transcat) the amount of the Working Capital Deficit. If such Working Capital Deficit is not paid within such fifteen (15) day period, then interest shall accrue and be due and payable from the Selling Shareholder on the Working Capital Deficit from and including the Closing through and including the date of payment at the rate of 5.0% per annum.

(e) Transcat shall prepare and within thirty (30) days following the first anniversary of the Closing deliver to Selling Shareholder a determination of the Actual Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit and the Actual Wind Energy Calibration Revenue (which will include a calculation of the decrease in the Holdback Cash Payment, if applicable). In the absence of any objections from the Selling Shareholder, Transcat’s determination of the Actual Wind Energy Calibration Revenue and Actual Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit shall be final and binding upon the parties for purposes thereof, and the Holdback Cash Payment shall,

immediately following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, be paid to the Selling Shareholder entitled to receive it as provided above. If any objection is so made, the parties shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing upon the matters in dispute. If such negotiations fail to resolve all disputed items within ten (10) days after such objections are made, the remaining disputed items shall be submitted for resolution to a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants designated jointly by Selling Shareholder’s Accountants and Transcat’s Accountants. After affording each of the parties and their respective accountants the opportunity to present their positions as to such determination (which opportunity shall not extend for more than then (10) days), the accounting firm so selected shall determine the disputed items and such determination shall be binding for purposes of the Holdback Payment (the “Holdback Audit Right”). The fees, costs and expenses of the accounting firm so selected shall be borne equally by Transcat and Selling Shareholder. To the extent that the Actual Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit is less than the Projected Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit, the Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit Holdback Payment shall be reduced in a dollar amount equal to (i) the amount in which the Actual Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit is less than the Projected Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit, multiplied by (ii) 2.75. To the extent that the Actual Wind Energy Calibration Revenue is less than the Projected Wind Energy Calibration Revenue, the Wind Energy Equipment Calibration Revenue Holdback Payment shall be reduced in a dollar amount equal to (i) the amount in which the Actual Wind Energy Calibration Revenue is less than the Projected Wind Energy Calibration Revenue, multiplied by (ii) 1.50. To the extent the Holdback Cash Payments require reduction as determined herein, Transcat may immediately exercise its rights with respect to reimbursement of such amount as set forth in subsection (e) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, the Actual Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit and the Actual Wind Energy Calibration Revenue exceed the Projected Wind Energy Equipment Gross Profit and the Projected Wind Energy Calibration Revenue (as determined by Transcat subject to the Holdback Audit Right), the payment date for the Holdback Cash Payments shall be accelerated and be payable within ten (10) days of such determination. The Holdback Cash Payments shall include (i) all accrued interest on such amount from the Closing through the date of payment at the rate of 4%, and (ii) an amount equal to the increase in capital gains tax liability realized by Selling Shareholder, if any, resulting directly from the payment of the Holdback Cash Payments after the Closing instead of at the Closing.

(f) Delivery of all payments required under this Section 3.1 or any provision hereof shall be made in cash by the wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as designated in writing by the recipient. Westcon and Selling Shareholder acknowledge and agree that Transcat and Merger Sub may, in their sole discretion subject to the Holdback Audit Right, reimburse themselves from or otherwise offset against the Holdback Cash Payments (and/or any other future payments due and owing to Selling Shareholder) for amounts owing from Selling Shareholder and Westcon to Transcat and Merger Sub (including without limitation a payment for Working Capital Deficit) under this Agreement or any other documents or agreements delivered in connection with the Merger (and this Agreement) in accordance with Article 10.

3.3 Effect of Merger on Common Stock of Merger Sub.

At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into and become one share of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

At and after the Effective Time and subject to the Transcat Stock Restrictions set forth on Exhibit A, Transcat will make available, and the Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, (i) upon surrender to Transcat or its Representatives of the Westcon Certificate(s) for cancellation and an assignment separate from certificate in the form approved by Transcat (the “Stock Power”), the Stock Merger Consideration, and upon such surrender of the Westcon Certificate(s), and delivery by Transcat of the aggregate Stock Merger Consideration in exchange therefore, such shares shall be deemed cancelled. Until surrendered or delivered as contemplated by this Section, each Westcon Certificate will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time for all purposes to evidence only the right to receive upon such surrender the Stock Merger Consideration.

3.5 No Fractional Shares.

No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Transcat Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Westcon Certificates for exchange, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Transcat.

In the event any Westcon Certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed, Transcat will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Westcon Certificate(s), upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Selling Shareholder and the other deliveries required above, the applicable Merger Consideration; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Selling Shareholder deliver an indemnity or bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the Westcon Certificate(s) alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

3.7 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action.

Each of Transcat, Merger Sub, Westcon and Selling Shareholder will take all such reasonable lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Merger in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as practicable. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any such further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest

the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all the property, rights, privileges, power and franchises of Westcon and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Westcon and Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

(d) To Westcon’s and Selling Shareholder’s knowledge, each Employee Plan that is intended to qualify under section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS and such determination letter considers the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, and the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000. Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been timely amended to reflect the provisions of

the Economic Growth & Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and any other statutory or regulatory changes requiring amendments, and has been timely submitted for a determination letter regarding the provisions of the Economic Growth & Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 if the deadline for such submission has passed. No event has occurred that will or could give rise to the revocation of any applicable determination letter or the disqualification or loss of tax-exempt status of any such Employee Plan or trust under Sections 401(a) or 501(a) of the Code.

(e) Westcon does not maintain and has not at any time maintained, and does not and could not have any liability with respect to, any Employee Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. No Employee Plan is or ever has been a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of section 3(37) of ERISA. Westcon does not have or could have any liability with respect to a “multiemployer plan” as defined under section 3(37) of ERISA. No Employee Plan now holds or has heretofore held any stock or other securities issued by Westcon. Westcon has not established or contributed to, is required to contribute to or has or could have any liability with respect to any “voluntary employees’ beneficiary association” within the meaning of section 501(c)(9) of the Code, any “welfare benefit fund” within the meaning of section 419 of the Code, any “qualified asset account” within the meaning of section 419A of the Code, or any “multiple employer welfare arrangement” within the meaning of section 3(40) of ERISA.

Except to the extent required under section 4980B of the Code, Westcon does not provide health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for or to any retired employee, any former employee or any other individual who is not an employee, and there has been no communication to any employee, retired employee, former employee or other individual that could reasonably be expected to promise or guarantee any such benefits.

(g) Except with respect to statutory post-termination benefits arising under non-U.S. Laws and except as set forth in Section 4.14(g) of the Westcon Disclosure Schedules, no provision of any Employee Plan restricts the ability of Transcat or the Surviving Corporation to terminate the future accruals of obligations thereunder after the Effective Time; provided, however, that no such representation or warranty is made with respect to liabilities already accrued at the time of such termination.

(h) All reports, returns and similar documents with respect to each Employee Plan required to be filed with any Governmental Entity or distributed to any participant of any Employee Plan (including each Form 5500 required to be filed by Westcon) have been duly and timely filed or distributed in accordance with all applicable Laws.

(i) There has been no act or omission by Westcon with respect to any Employee Plan that has given rise or may give rise to fines, penalties, Taxes or related charges under the Code or ERISA or other applicable law, including but not limited to Sections 511, 4971, 4972, 4975, 4976, 4977, 4979, 4980B, 4980D, 4980E, 4980F or 6652 of the Code, or to any fine or civil penalty under Sections 502, 4069 or 4071 of ERISA.

(j) No condition exists as a result of which Westcon would have any liability, whether absolute or contingent, including any obligations under any Employee Plan, with respect to any misclassification of a Person performing services for Westcon as an independent contractor rather than as an employee.

(k) Except as described in Section 4.14(k) of the Westcon Disclosure Schedules, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not entitle any Person to severance pay, and will not accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount, of compensation due to any Person. Section 4.14(k) of the Westcon Disclosure Schedules lists all severance obligations of Westcon owed to any Person.

(l) Employee Plans which constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation plans” as defined by §409A of the Code have been administered in compliance with §409A or an exemption therefrom since January 1, 2005.

(m) Solely for purposes of this Section 4.14, all references to Westcon includes any Person which, together with Westcon, is considered an affiliated organization within the meaning of sections 414(b), 414(c), 414(m) or 414(o) of the Code or sections 3(5) or 4001(b)(1) of ERISA.

ARTICLE 7.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF EACH PARTY

7.1 Additional Agreements; Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all action, and to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to Shareholder Approval, including cooperating fully with the other parties, providing information, making all necessary filings and giving all necessary notices in connection with, among other things, Competition Laws, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and state securities Laws.

7.2 Expenses.

Transcat and Westcon will each bear its respective legal, accounting and other expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

7.3 Other Actions.

Neither Westcon nor Transcat will, knowingly take any action that would or is reasonably likely to cause any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement to be untrue as of the date made or any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article 8 not to be satisfied. Prior to the Effective Time, each of the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) obtain the satisfaction of its conditions to Closing as set forth in Article 8 as soon as practicable; (b) facilitate contacts, negotiations and communications with any Persons reasonably necessary to insure a smooth transition of control of the Business; and (c) assist one another in obtaining any consents required or desirable from any Person to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of Confidential Information which, in the written advice of the Receiving Party’s counsel, is required, and the Receiving Party will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such of the disclosed Confidential Information as the Disclosing Party so designates. The Receiving Party will not otherwise disclose Confidential Information to any Person, except with the consent of the Disclosing Party. In the event that the Merger is not consummated, the Receiving Party will promptly return all Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party. For the purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” means all information of any kind concerning the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates, obtained directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates, employees, representatives or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except information (a) ascertainable or obtained from public or published sources, (b) received from a third party not known by the Receiving Party to be under an obligation to keep such information confidential, (c) which is or becomes known to the public (other than through a breach of this Agreement), or (d) which was in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to disclosure thereof to the Receiving Party and which was not subject to any obligation to keep such information confidential. The Receiving Party recognizes that any breach of the provisions of this Section would result in irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party and its Affiliates and, therefore, that the Disclosing Party will be entitled to an injunction to prohibit any such breach or

anticipated breach, without the necessity of posting a bond, cash or otherwise, in addition to all of its other legal and equitable remedies.

7.5 Publicity.

Neither Westcon nor Selling Shareholder shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Transcat.

(e) Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, the restrictions set forth in this Section shall expire upon any failure of Transcat or Merger Sub to pay any undisputed amount under this Agreement or the Earn Out Agreement, which failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such non-payment by Selling Shareholder. Selling Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that exercise of Transcat’s and Merger Sub’s rights under Section 9.6 of this Agreement shall not be deemed a failure to make payment to Selling Shareholder and the terms of this Section shall not expire upon the exercise of such rights.

Except as provided in Section 9.5, if any Transcat Indemnitee or Selling Shareholder Indemnitee (an “Indemnified Party”) believes that it has suffered or incurred any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Article 9, such Indemnified Party shall so notify the Party from whom indemnification is being claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness and reasonable particularity in light of the circumstances then existing. If any claim is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification under this Article 9, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim. The notice provided by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party shall describe the claim (the “Asserted Liability”) in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (or an estimate) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give any notice required by this Section 9.4 shall not affect any of the Indemnified Party’s rights under this Article 9 or otherwise except and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to the rights or obligations of the Indemnifying Party.

9.5 Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims.

(a) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against any third party claim for which it is entitled to indemnification from such Indemnifying Party under this Article 9 with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) any of the Indemnifying Parties notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the third party claim that

all of the Indemnifying Parties will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the third party claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Parties provide the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Parties will have the financial resources to defend against the third party claim and fulfill their indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the third party claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the third party claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Parties diligently conduct the defense of the third party claim.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Parties shall not settle or compromise any third party claim or consent to the entry of a judgment in connection therewith that: (i) does not provide for the claimant to give an unconditional release to the Indemnified Party in respect of the Asserted Liability; (ii) involves relief other than monetary damages; (iii) places restrictions or conditions on the operation of the business of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; or (iv) involves any finding or admission of criminal liability or of any Laws.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party has undertaken to conduct the defense of the third party claim in accordance with Section 9.5(a), (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the third party claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of the claim for which it is providing a defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 9.5(a), in the event that (w) any of the conditions in Section 9.5(a)(i) is or becomes unsatisfied or; (x) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to defend such action within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party of its intent to defend against the Asserted Liability; (y) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based upon written advice of counsel, that it has defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party with respect to such different defenses); or (z) representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, then the Indemnified Party may defend against the third party claim in any manner it may deem appropriate and, the Indemnifying Parties will be responsible for the Indemnified Party’s costs of defending against the third party claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for the entirety of the Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of or caused by the third party claim.

9.6 Recoupment From Cash Merger Consideration.

Any indemnification to which a Transcat Indemnified Party is entitled under this Agreement as a result of any Losses it may suffer shall first be made as a payment to such Transcat Indemnified Party from the next payment of Merger Cash Consideration to be made to the Selling Shareholder hereunder, which shall reduce such Merger Cash Consideration payments accordingly until such Losses are indemnified in full. To the extent that the aggregate amount of such indemnification exceeds the future Merger Cash Consideration payments to be received by the Selling Shareholder, the Transcat Indemnified Party(ies) may reduce the amount, if any due owing, to Selling Shareholder under the Earn-Out Agreement. To the extent that the aggregate amount of such indemnification exceeds both the future Merger Cash Consideration payments and the amounts under the Earn-Out Agreement, may recoup such unpaid Losses from the Selling Shareholder directly. Any indemnification payment or set-off against the Merger Consideration made pursuant to this Article 9 shall be treated, to the extent permitted or required by Laws, by all Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
