Within 90 days following the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Shareholders an audited Closing balance sheet (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) based upon the financial statements of the Company as of the Closing Date and its calculation of the Adjustment Amount determined in accordance with GAAP, based upon the Closing Balance Sheet, audited by Buyer’s accounting firm and including sufficient detail to allow the Shareholders Representative to analyze the accuracy thereof. The Shareholders shall have 30 days after receiving the Closing Balance Sheet and Adjustment Amount to review and notify Buyer of their approval or disapproval of same. Approval or disapproval of Shareholders Representative shall be deemed approval or disapproval, as the case may be, of the Shareholders. Failure of the Shareholders Representative to notify Buyer of his approval or disapproval thereof within such 30-day period shall be deemed approval of the Shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the Shareholders Representative requires reasonable additional information to complete his analysis of the Adjustment Amount or the Closing Balance Sheet, he shall request such information from the Buyer, which will deliver such reasonable information to the Shareholders Representative. The Shareholders Representative shall have an additional thirty (30) days from the receipt of such information to complete analysis of the Adjustment Amount and the Closing Balance Sheet. In the event the Shareholders Representative notifies Buyer of his disapproval of all or any portion of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Adjustment Amount, and Buyer and the Shareholders Representative are unable to agree upon a resolution, then the issue in dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(ii).

Buyer and Shareholders Representative, or a member of the Arbitration Firm (if applicable), shall deliver instructions to the escrow agent for the First Escrow Account directing payment of the amounts in First Escrow Account. In the event that the amounts in the First Escrow Account are insufficient to pay the entire Adjustment Amount, Buyer shall notify the Shareholders of same and the Shareholders shall, within 5 business days of such notice, pay to Buyer the remaining Adjustment Amount. Payments shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such bank account as Buyer specifies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the CTI ESOP, shall only be severally liable to the Buyer for its pro rata share of the First Escrow Account and that it shall not be required to make any further payments with respect to any Adjustment Amount (including any share of Arbitration Firm expenses as described below) in excess of its pro rata share of the balance of the First Escrow Account. The Shareholders, other than the CTI ESOP shall be jointly and severally obligated for any portion of the Adjustment Amount not paid from the First Escrow Account.
(ii) Disputes. If the Shareholders object to the Adjustment Amount, the Shareholders shall, simultaneously with such objection, appoint a national accounting firm which, in cooperation with Buyer’s accounting firm, will determine the Adjustment Amount within 30 days of such objection. If the Shareholders’ accounting firm and Buyer’s accounting firm cannot agree on the Adjustment Amount within such 30-day period, the respective accounting firms shall mutually select a “Big Four” accounting firm (the “Arbitration Firm”) to determine the Adjustment Amount, and the decision of the Arbitration Firm shall be binding and conclusive on all parties. Buyer, on the one hand, and the Shareholders, on the other hand, shall each pay one-half of the costs and expenses of the Arbitration Firm.
(c) The Second Escrow Account. The Second Escrow Account will be held for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing to satisfy claims of the Buyer for indemnification under Article VII of this Agreement. At the end of eleven months from the Closing, the amount in the Second Escrow Account pertaining to the CTI’s ESOP pro-rata share of funds not subject to claims shall be released.

party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice of such Liability Claim (a “Claims Notice”) to the other party or parties (the “Indemnifying Party”). A Claims Notice must describe the Liability Claim in reasonable detail and must indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent that such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Liability Claim in accordance with this Section 7.2(b), the Indemnified Party may continue to defend the Liability Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Liability Claim as provided in this Section 7.2(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Liability Claim; provided, however, that if (i) any of the Litigation Conditions ceases to be met or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Liability Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, has the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Liability Claim which the other is defending as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, the Shareholders will be jointly and severally liable for all indemnification obligations to the Buyer or the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Shareholders shall only be severally liable for the indemnification obligations with respect to Sections 4.3 (Validity and Enforceability), 4.5(b) (No Conflicts), 4.6 (Consents) and the first two sentences of 4.7(a) (Property-Title), and the CTI ESOP in all events shall be severally and not jointly liable for any of its indemnification obligations under this Article 7.
35
(e) Except as provided above with respect to the CTI ESOP, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Shareholders do not have any individual right to assert any Liability Claim under this Article VII, and any and all Liability Claims on behalf of the Shareholders may be brought only by the Shareholders Representative.
7.4 Specific Performance. Each party’s obligation under this Agreement is unique. If any party should breach its covenants under this Agreement, the parties each acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the nonbreaching party or parties, in addition to any other available rights or remedies under this Article VII, may xxx in equity for specific performance of such covenant, and each party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.
7.5 Exclusive Remedy. The remedies provided in this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties hereto in connection with any claim or action arising under this Agreement.
7.6 Shareholders Representative.
(a) Shareholders Representative; Power and Authority. Each Shareholder hereby appoints the Shareholders Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact for each such Shareholder, for and on behalf of each such Shareholder, with full power and authority to represent each Shareholder and such Shareholder’s successors and assigns with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Non-Competition Agreements and the Employment Agreements) and all actions taken by the Shareholders Representative under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreements will be binding upon each such Shareholder and such Shareholder’s successors and assigns as if expressly ratified and confirmed in writing by each of them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shareholders Representative shall have full power and authority, on behalf of each Shareholder and such Shareholder’s successors and assigns, to interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to dispute or fail to dispute any Liability Claim under this Agreement or any such Ancillary Agreements, to negotiate and compromise any dispute that may arise under this Agreement or any such Ancillary Agreements and to sign any releases or other documents with respect to any such dispute. A Shareholder will be deemed a party or a signatory to any agreement, document, instrument or certificate for which the Shareholders Representative signs on behalf of such Shareholder.
(b) Liability. In performing any of its duties under this Agreement or upon the claimed failure to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Shareholders Representative will not be liable to the Shareholders, the Company, the Parent or the Buyer for any Losses that any such party may incur as a result of any act, or failure to act, by the Shareholders Representative under this Agreement, and the Shareholders Representative shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Shareholders for all Losses; provided, however, that the Shareholders Representative will not be entitled to indemnification for Losses to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction has finally determined that the actions or omissions of the Shareholders Representative both (i) were taken or omitted not in good faith and (ii) constituted willful default under this Agreement. Accordingly, the Shareholders Representative will not incur any such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith
36
upon advice of counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Shareholders Representative under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any document, including any written notice or instructions provided for in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, not only as to its due execution and to the validity and effectiveness of such document’s provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained in such document, which the Shareholders Representative does in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by the purported proper Person or Persons and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. The limitation of liability provisions of this Section 7.6(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Shareholders Representative.
