1.5 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at 11:00 a.m. (EST) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI have been satisfied or waived (other than any such conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, which conditions shall be required to be so satisfied or waived on the Closing Date), unless another time and/or date is agreed to in writing by the Seller and Buyer (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., One Financial Center, Boston, Massachusetts, unless another place is

(d) the Seller and, if applicable, the Parent, will execute and deliver one or more trademark assignments in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Trademark Assignment”) pursuant to which the Seller and, if applicable, the Parent will transfer and assign to Buyer the Trademarks being acquired by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, if any;

1.7 Consents of Third Parties.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement to the contrary, neither this Agreement nor any such Related Agreement shall constitute an agreement to assign or otherwise transfer, or require Buyer to assume any obligations under, any Assigned Contract if an attempted assignment
7
or transfer thereof would, without the consent of a third party to such assignment or transfer, constitute a breach thereof, would be ineffective, would affect adversely the rights of Buyer thereunder or would violate any applicable Law. If any such consent has not been obtained as of the Closing Date and Buyer nevertheless determines to proceed with the Closing, the Seller and the Parent shall use their respective best efforts to obtain such consent following the Closing, and Buyer will provide reasonable cooperation to the Seller and the Parent in seeking to obtain any such consent. The Seller and the Parent shall pay and discharge any and all out-of-pocket costs or expenses of seeking to obtain or obtaining any such consent or approval whether before or after the Closing Date.
(b) If any Assigned Contract is not transferred to Buyer at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller and the Parent shall cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide for Buyer all of the benefits of, and to have Buyer assume the obligations to the extent set forth in Section 1.3 with respect to, such Assigned Contract. In such event, until such consent has been obtained, (i) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform in the Seller’s or the Parent’s name (as applicable) all of such obligations; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to take any action in performing such obligations which, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, would subject Buyer to any Liability or an unreasonable risk of incurring any such Liability and (ii) the Seller and the Parent shall take all actions reasonably requested by Buyer to enforce for the benefit of Buyer any and all rights of the Seller with respect to any such Assigned Contract.
(c) The Seller and the Parent hereby authorize Buyer to perform all of their respective obligations after the Closing with respect to all Assigned Contracts that are not assigned to Buyer at the Closing. The Seller and the Parent agree to remit promptly to Buyer all collections or payments received by the Seller or the Parent in respect of all such Assigned Contracts, and shall hold all such collections or payments in trust for the benefit of, and promptly pay the same over to, Buyer; provided, however, that nothing herein shall create or provide any rights or benefits in or to third parties.
(d) Nothing in this Section 1.7 shall be deemed to modify in any respect any of the Seller’s or the Parent’s representations or warranties set forth herein or the conditions to Buyer’s obligations contained in ARTICLE VI hereof, be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its right to have received on or before the Closing Date an effective assignment of all of the Acquired Assets or be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Acquired Assets any assets described under Section 1.1.
1.8 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at the request of Buyer and without further consideration, the Seller and the Parent will execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and will take such further action, as may be reasonably requested in order to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to Buyer, and to confirm Buyer’s title in and to, all of the Seller’s and the Parent’s (where applicable) right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets, and each of the parties shall execute such other documents and take such further action as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
8
1.9 Transfer Taxes. All sales (including bulk sales), transfer and similar Taxes, if any, payable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be shared equally by the Seller and the Parent, jointly and severally, on the one hand, and Buyer on the other hand. Any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due by the party responsible under applicable Law for filing such Tax Returns. The party filing any such Transfer Tax Return shall provide the other parties with a copy of such return for review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to such filing.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Acquired Assets (the “Purchase Price”) shall be $11,250,000, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.2. At the Closing, the Buyer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent $1,125,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Escrow Amount”) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the balance of the Purchase Price less the Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Bank Account. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer will reimburse the Seller and/or the Parent for certain amounts as provided in Schedule 2.1 attached hereto.
2.2 Working Capital Adjustment.
(a) Two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer a certificate (the “Working Capital Statement”) certified by the Seller’s Chief Financial Officer setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of its good faith estimate of the Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”), which shall be subject to approval by Buyer.
(b) If the Working Capital Target exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, the Purchase Price payable at Closing shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount by which the Working Capital Target exceeds the Estimated Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount”)
(c) Following the Closing, Buyer shall have the opportunity to prepare its calculation of Working Capital. The Seller and the Parent shall make the books and records used in preparing the Working Capital Statement (to the extent such books and records (including work papers) are not included in the Acquired Assets) available to Buyer and its Representatives at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice following the Closing. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Seller its calculation of Working Capital (the “Revised Working Capital”) together with reasonable detail and reasonable supporting documentation with respect to the line item differences between the Revised Working Capital and the Estimated Working Capital. If the Seller objects to the calculation of the Revised Working Capital, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer, no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of Buyer’s calculation of the Revised Working Capital, a notice setting forth in reasonable detail such objections (an “Objection Notice”), together with reasonable supporting documentation. If the Seller does not timely deliver an Objection Notice to Buyer or if the Seller notifies Buyer that it has no objections, Buyer’s determination of the Revised Working Capital shall be final and binding on all parties.

Buyer and the Seller shall have the right to meet jointly with the Dispute Accounting Firm during this period and to present their respective positions. The resolution of disputes by the Dispute Accounting Firm will be set forth in writing and will be conclusive and binding upon the parties, upon the date of such resolution, absent manifest error. In making its determination, the Dispute Accounting Firm shall consider only those items that the Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve and the Dispute Accounting Firm shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the definition of Working Capital and the terms of this Section 2.2. The Seller and the Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will each pay their own fees and expenses (including any fees and expenses of their accountants and other Representatives) in connection with the resolution of any dispute under this Section 2.2 (excluding the fees and expenses of the Dispute Accounting Firm). The fees and expenses of the Dispute Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller and the Parent, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Dispute Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Dispute Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.

(B) if the Working Capital Target exceeds the Final Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Working Capital Target exceeds the Final Working Capital; or
(C) if the Final Working Capital equals the Working Capital Target, then there shall be no further adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.2(e).
Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Working Capital, (i) if the Purchase Price is increased pursuant to this Section 2.2(e), Buyer shall pay to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of such five-day period an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price was so increased and (ii) if the Purchase Price is decreased pursuant to this Section 2.2(e), the Seller and the Parent, jointly and severally, shall pay to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Buyer an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price was so decreased; provided that, all or any portion of such Purchase Price adjustment may be satisfied from the Escrow Amount in Buyer’s discretion.
2.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets as determined by Buyer in good faith and shall be set forth in a schedule produced by Buyer within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date (the “Allocation Schedule”). The parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use the allocations set forth in the Allocation Schedule (as reasonably adjusted to account for events occurring after the determination of the Allocation Schedule) for all Tax purposes, file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule (as adjusted) and take no tax position contrary thereto unless required to do so by a change in applicable Laws or a good faith resolution of a Tax contest.

From and after the Closing, the Seller and the Parent, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, their respective successors and assigns, and the respective Representatives of each of the foregoing (the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Losses of every kind, nature or description asserted against, or sustained, incurred or accrued directly or indirectly by, such Buyer Indemnified Person which arise out of or result from or as a consequence of any of the following:
(a) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Seller or the Parent contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement or certificate delivered by the Seller or the Parent pursuant to this Agreement, provided that for purposes hereof, such representations and warranties shall be interpreted without giving effect to any limitations or qualifications as to “materiality” (including the word “material”), “Business Material Adverse Effect” or any similar limitations or qualifications;
49
(b) the breach of or non-compliance with any agreement or covenant of the Seller or the Parent contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement;

(e) any Taxes of any kind relating to or arising in connection with the transfer of the Acquired Assets to Buyer; or

7.3 Limitations on Indemnification. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.5:
(a) no indemnification shall be payable to a Buyer Indemnified Person as a result of any Losses arising under Section 7.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by all Buyer Indemnified Persons exceeds $100,000, whereupon the Buyer Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to receive the full amount of all Losses (including the first $100,000 of such Losses); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Losses resulting from or arising out of any breach or inaccuracy of the Excepted Representations or of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.7(c) and 3.20(c);

7.4 Indemnification Process.
(a) Any Buyer Indemnified Person seeking indemnification under this ARTICLE VII (an “Indemnified Person”) shall give each party from whom indemnification is being sought (each, an
50
“Indemnifying Person”) notice of any matter (a “Notice of Claim”) which such Indemnified Person has determined has given rise to or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the Loss, if known (a “Loss Estimate”), and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such matter; provided, however, that the failure so to provide such Notice of Claim will not relieve the Indemnifying Person from Liability under this Agreement except, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Person results in the actual and material impairment or loss of rights and defenses that would have otherwise been available to the Indemnifying Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim shall be brought under this ARTICLE VII with respect to an event of indemnification described in Section 7.2(a) unless an Indemnified Person, at any time prior to the applicable Survival Date, gives the Indemnifying Person(s) a Notice of Claim with respect to such claim. If a Notice of Claim has been given on or prior to the applicable Survival Date, the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.
(b) Claims for indemnification hereunder resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (each, a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) The Indemnified Person may defend any Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing, at the Indemnifying Person’s cost, and shall act reasonably and in accordance with its good faith business judgment in handling such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Person elects not to defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall promptly provide notice to the Indemnifying Person. The Indemnifying Person shall have ten (10) days to advise the Indemnified Person whether the Indemnifying Person accepts the defense of such claim, and the Indemnifying Person shall have no obligation to the Indemnified Person for legal fees incurred by the Indemnified Person after the date of any assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying Person. If the Indemnifying Person determines to accept the defense of such Third Party Claim, it shall defend such Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choice that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and at its own expense, provided that, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Person fails to undertake the defense of or settle or pay any such Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person has given written notice to the Indemnifying Person of the claim, or if the Indemnifying Person, after having given such notification to the Indemnified Person, fails within ten (10) days, or at any time thereafter, to defend to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Person, settle or pay such claim, then the Indemnified Person may take any and all necessary action to dispose of such claim at the Indemnifying Person’s cost. The Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall make available to each other and their counsel and accountants all books and records and information relating to any Third Party Claims, keep each other apprised as to the details and progress of all proceedings relating thereto and render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any and all Third Party Claims.
51
(ii) The party controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim may settle such Third Party Claim on any terms which it may deem reasonable, provided that, an Indemnifying Person shall not without the Indemnified Person’s prior written consent settle or compromise such proceeding, claim or demand, or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Person of a written release from all liability in respect of such proceeding, claim or demand.
7.5 Fraud and Related Claims; Characterization of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit, impair, modify or otherwise affect the rights of an Indemnified Person to bring any claim, demand, suit or cause of action otherwise available to such Indemnified Person based upon, or to seek or recover any Losses arising from or related to, nor shall any of the limitations set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 apply with respect to, an allegation or allegations of fraud in connection with this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Subject to the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that, absent fraud, the remedies provided in this ARTICLE VII shall be the exclusive remedies of the Buyer Indemnified Persons after the Closing in connection with any breach of this Agreement by the Seller or the Parent, except remedies of specific performance, injunction and other equitable relief. The parties agree that any payment pursuant to an indemnification obligation under this ARTICLE VII shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment under this ARTICLE VII is determined to be taxable to a Buyer Indemnified Person, the Seller and the Parent shall, jointly and severally, also indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Person for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Person in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).
7.6 Insurance Claims. If Losses with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 7.2 may be covered by an insurance policy of the Seller or the Parent, at the request of a Buyer Indemnified Person and without further consideration, the Seller or the Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek and recover all payments under any such insurance policy to which the Seller or the Parent may be entitled with respect to such Losses and pay over such amounts to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Person, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3(b).
