Each of Buyer, JJMA and the Equity Participants will bear their own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that (i) JJMA will bear all of the costs and expenses of the Equity Participants (including all of their legal fees and expenses) incurred prior to or upon the Closing in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions (other than any income Tax on any gain resulting from the sale of the JJMA Shares hereunder) in the event that the Contemplated Transactions are consummated; provided such costs and expenses are paid prior to or at the Closing and if not so paid, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the Equity Participants by a reduction of the Supplemental Amount, (ii) the fees of any filing made under the HSR Act shall be borne by Buyer, and (iii) the fees of the Escrow Agent shall be borne one-half by Buyer and one-half by JJMA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (including any transfer tax and any similar Tax imposed in other states or subdivisions), shall be paid by JJMA when due, and JJMA will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable Law, the Parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

11.02 Public Announcements. Any public announcement or similar publicity with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions will be issued, if at all, at such time and in such manner as Buyer and the Equity Participants mutually determine, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Unless consented to by Buyer in advance or required by Law, prior to the Closing the Equity Participants shall, and shall cause JJMA to, keep this Agreement strictly confidential and may not make any disclosure of this Agreement to any Person. Unless consented to by the Equity Participants in advance or required by Law, prior to the Closing Buyer shall keep this Agreement strictly confidential and may not make any disclosure of this Agreement to any Person. Buyer and the Equity Participants will consult with each other concerning the means by which JJMA’s employees, customers, and suppliers and others having dealings with JJMA will be informed of the Contemplated Transactions.

11.03 Confidentiality.

(a) Following the Closing the Parties will maintain in confidence, and will cause their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and advisors to maintain in confidence, and not use to the detriment of another Party any written, oral, or other information obtained in confidence from another Party in connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, unless (i) such information is already known to such Party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no fault of such Party, or (ii) such Party is required to disclose such information by Law or in order to enforce the terms of this Agreement, in which case such Party will give the applicable Party or Parties advance notice so as to facilitate seeking a protective order or take other reasonable actions to preserve the confidentiality of such information. The Confidentiality Agreement, dated April 21, 2004, between Buyer and JJMA (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall continue to apply in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof until the Closing, whereupon such Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate.

(b) If the Contemplated Transactions are not consummated, each Party will return or destroy as much of such written information as the other applicable Party or Parties may reasonably request. Whether or not the Closing takes place, the Equity Participants waive, and will upon Buyer’s request cause JJMA to waive, any cause of action, right, or claim arising out of the access of Buyer or its Representatives to any trade secrets or other confidential information of JJMA except for the intentional competitive misuse by Buyer of such trade secrets or confidential information.

11.04 Notices. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when (i) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) sent by telecopier (with written confirmation of receipt), provided that a copy is mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) when received by the addressee, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested), in each case to the appropriate addresses and telecopier numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses and telecopier numbers as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

11.05 Further Assurances. The Parties agree (i) to furnish upon request to each other such further information, (ii) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (iii) to do such other acts and things, all as the other Parties may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement. Buyer on the one hand and Seller and the Option Holders on the other hand shall each provide such information as is in their possession to provide adequate assurances that Buyer will acquire good title to the JJMA Shares and Seller will acquire good title to the Buyer Shares, respectively, at Closing, free and clear of all Encumbrances and all other claims or contests (potential or otherwise).

11.06 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, except as provided in this Agreement, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the Party waiving such claim or right; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

11.07 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements (other than as provided in Section 11.03 with respect to the Confidentiality Agreement) among the Parties with respect to its subject matter, including the Letter of Intent by and among Buyer, JJMA, P. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx dated January 11, 2005, and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the Party to be charged with the amendment.

11.08 Disclosure Schedules. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Buyer or JJMA Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception to a representation or warranty contained herein explicitly contemplated by such representation or warranty to be set forth on the Buyer or JJMA Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

11.09 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. No Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Parties, except that Buyer may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Buyer; provided that, in the event of such assignment, Buyer shall remain liable for its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns of the Parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement (and the Buyer Indemnitees and Equity Participant Indemnitees as set forth in Article Ten hereof) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. Except as set forth in Article Ten with respect to the rights of the Buyer Indemnities and the Equity Participant Indemnitees, this Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their successors, legal representatives, and assigns.

11.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

11.11 Article and Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All references to “Article,” “Articles,” “Section” or “Sections” refer to the corresponding Article, Articles, Section or Sections of this Agreement. All words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word “including” does not limit the preceding words or terms.

11.12 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

11.13 Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Commonwealth of Virginia or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Parties hereto waive trial by jury on all issues.

11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, 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.

11.15 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

11.16 Equity Participant Representative.

(a) By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Equity Participant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Xxxxxxx Xxxxx as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Equity Participant Representative”) of such Equity Participant, with full powers of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of the Equity Participants, with respect to the performance on behalf of the Equity Participants following the Closing under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be from time to time amended, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents on behalf of the Equity Participants, as the Equity Participant Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including:

(i) to act for the Equity Participants under the Escrow Agreement; and

(ii) to act for the Equity Participants with respect to the determination of Actual Net Working Capital and the Actual Supplemental Amount pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof

(iii) to act for the Equity Participants with respect to efforts to obtain Unobtained Lease Consents following the Closing pursuant to Section 11.17 hereof;

(iv) to employ and obtain the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as the Equity Participant Representative, in his sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of his duties as the Equity Participant Representative and to rely on their advice and counsel;

(v) to incur expenses (to be paid by the Equity Participants), including fees of attorneys, accountants, bankers, and other professional advisors incurred following the Closing related to the Contemplated Transactions, and any other fees and expenses allocable or in any way relating to such Contemplated Transactions; and

(vi) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Stockholders and the holders of the Options, if any, which the Equity Participant Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as any of the Equity Participants, could do if personally present and acting.

(b) The appointment of the Equity Participant Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any actions of the Equity Participant Representative as the acts of the Equity Participants, if any, hereunder appointing the Equity Participant Representative in all matters referred to in this Agreement. Each of the Equity Participants appointing the Equity Participant Representative hereby ratifies and confirms all that the Equity Participant Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of such Equity Participant Representative’s appointment as Equity Participant Representative of the Equity Participants. The Equity Participant Representative shall act for the Equity Participants appointing the Equity Participant Representative on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Equity Participant Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Equity Participants, but the Equity Participant shall not be responsible to the Equity Participants for any loss or damage that the Equity Participants may suffer by reason of the performance by the Equity Participant Representative of such Equity Participant Representative’s duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud in the performance of such Equity Participant Representative’s duties under this Agreement.

(c) The Equity Participants do hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the Equity Participant Representative harmless from and against any and all Adverse Consequences (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred or suffered as a result of the performance of such Equity Participant Representative’s duties under this Agreement, except for any such liability arising out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Equity Participant Representative.

(d) Each Equity Participant hereby waives any and all claims against Buyer and JJMA based upon the actual or alleged lack of authorization by such Equity Participant of the actions of the Equity Participant Representative in reliance on the authority of the Equity Participant Representative hereunder.

11.17 Unobtained Lease Consents. Following the Closing, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all Unobtained Lease Consents. In the event that it is reasonably likely that Buyer will suffer Adverse Consequences with respect to such Unobtained Lease Consents, Buyer shall notify the Equity Participant Representative within two (2) business days of the date such Adverse Consequences become reasonably likely, and shall permit the Equity Participant Representative to participate in the efforts to obtain such Unobtained Lease Consents. In the event that Buyer suffers any Adverse Consequences with respect to any Unobtained Lease Consents prior to the date on which any payment is made to the Equity Participants under Section 2.08(e)(i) hereof, Buyer shall set-off the amount of such Adverse Consequences against such payment, and the balance of such Adverse Consequences, if any, shall be paid to Buyer in accordance with Section 10.02 hereof.
