WHEREAS, such Boards of Directors have approved the Merger, pursuant to which each outstanding share of Company Stock will be converted as of the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined) into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Total Consideration (as hereinafter defined);

WHEREAS, at the Effective Time, all of the outstanding Options (as hereinafter defined) shall be cancelled on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement with all holders of Options that have signed the Option Cancellation Agreements receiving the consideration described therein;

Now Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger.. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the FBCA, (i) Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, (ii) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue to be governed by the FBCA as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and (iii) the separate existence of the Company with all of its assets, property rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger.

1.2 Effective Time.. As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles VI, immediately after payment of the Closing Consideration to the Shareholders, the Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by (i) executing and filing on the Closing Date articles of merger in the form of Exhibit B hereto with the Department of State of the State of Florida, in such form as required by and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the FBCA (the “Articles of Merger”), and (ii) making such other filings and taking such other actions as may be required by Law to make the Merger effective hereinafter. The Merger shall become effective at 11:59 pm EST on the Closing Date or such later date as the Articles of Merger are duly accepted for filing with the Florida Department of State (the date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger.. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, in the Articles of Merger and in the applicable provisions of the FBCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the assets, property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws.. At the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the Parties, (i) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, provided that such Articles of Incorporation shall, at the Effective Time, be amended and restated so as to be in the form provided as Exhibit C hereto, and (ii) the Company’s bylaws shall be amended and restated so as to be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D and, as so amended, such bylaws shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein, in the Surviving Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or by the FBCA.

1.5 Directors and Officers.. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the

Surviving Corporation. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Effect of Merger on Capital Stock.

(a) The aggregate consideration (the “Total Consideration”) to be paid pursuant to this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub shall be $143,000,000 subject to adjustment as set forth in this Agreement .

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the holder of any shares of Company Stock or Merger Sub Common Stock: (i) each share (“Share”) of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of the Company Stock to be cancelled pursuant to clause (ii) below and any Dissenting Shares as defined in and to the extent provided in Section 1.12) will be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Closing Consideration Per Share; (ii) each share of Company Stock, if any, held by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto; and (iii) each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and all of such shares, as converted, shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each share of Company Stock converted pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 1.6(b) shall automatically cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such share of Company Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive such holder’s respective portion of the Total Consideration, subject to adjustment as set forth in this Agreement. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.7 Payments at Closing.

(a) At the Closing, Parent shall pay the holder of each Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including Shares issued with respect to the exercise of options effective immediately prior to the Effective Time and other than any Dissenting Shares or Shares owned by the Company) cash in an amount equal to the Closing Consideration Per Share, multiplied by the number of Shares held by such Shareholder (such amounts as are paid in the aggregate to all Shareholders being referred to as the “Closing Consideration”). As used herein, “Closing Consideration Per Share” means (A) the sum of $143,000,000, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.8(a), and the total exercise prices of all Options with respect to which Option Holders are entitled to receive Option Cancellation Payments minus the sum of: (I) the Closing Bonus Payments, (II) the Transaction Expenses (III) the Closing Date Indebtedness, if any, and (IV) the Reserve Account divided by (B) the sum of: (I) the total number of Shares issued

and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by the Company) and (II) the number of Shares covered by Options with respect to which the Option Holders are entitled to receive Option Cancellation Payments.

(b) At the Closing, Parent shall deposit on behalf of the escrow beneficiaries, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to $14,300,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, subject to such reasonable modifications as shall be agreed to by the Escrow Agent and the Parties thereto (the “Escrow Agreement”). Such Escrow Amount shall be funded from the Closing Consideration payable to the Shareholders and Option Cancellation Payments payable to the Principal Shareholders and the Principal Option Holders, who shall be the Escrow beneficiaries. The Escrow Amount shall be held on behalf of each such Escrow beneficiary and shall be determined as follows: In the case of a Principal Shareholder or Principal Option Holder, each Principal Shareholder’s or Principal Option Holder’s portion of the Escrow Amount shall be equal to the Escrow Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Closing Consideration Per Share and/or Option Cancellation Payment payable to such Principal Shareholder or Principal Option Holder, and the denominator of which is the sum of the total Closing Consideration Per Share and Option Cancellation Payments payable to all Principal Shareholders and Principal Option Holders and the total Closing Consideration Per Share payable to all other Shareholders. In the case of a Shareholder who is neither a Principal Shareholder nor Principal Option Holder, such Shareholder’s portion of the Escrow Amount shall be equal to the Escrow Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Consideration Per Share payable to such Shareholder, and the denominator of which is the sum of the total Closing Consideration Per Share and Option Cancellation Payments payable to all Principal Shareholders and Principal Option Holders and the total Closing Consideration Per Share payable to all other Shareholders. The portion of the Escrow Account funded on behalf of the Principal Shareholder or Principal Option Holder receiving both Closing Consideration and an Option Cancellation Payment shall be funded in equal percentages from such person’s Closing Consideration and Option Cancellation Payment. The amount deposited into the Escrow Account on behalf of each Shareholder or Principal Option Holder as a percentage of the entire Escrow Amount shall be referred to as the “Allocation Percentage”.

(c) At the Closing, Parent shall provide funds (i) to the Company sufficient to permit the Company to pay directly to each holder (an “Option Holder”) of options (each, an “Option”) that is subject to an executed Option Cancellation Agreement an amount for each share of Company Stock covered by the Option that is subject to such Option Cancellation Agreement equal to the Closing Consideration Per Share minus the exercise price of such Option. Such amount shall be treated as consideration for the cancellation and termination of such Option, in each case subject to applicable withholding Taxes; provided that a portion of the payment due to a Principal Shareholder related to his or her ownership of Options and a portion of the payment due to a Principal Option Holder shall be paid to the Escrow Agent sufficient to fund such Principal Shareholder’s or Principal Option Holder’s share of the Escrow Amount under Section 1.7(b) which is attributable to the Principal Shareholder’s or Principal Option

Holder’s Option Cancellation Payment. The name of each holder of an Option, together with the number of Options held by such individual, is set forth on Exhibit F as such Exhibit may be amended from time to time prior to Closing to reflect the expiration, termination or exercise of Options if any. The gross amount to be paid to each holder of Options (both at Closing and, in the case of the Principal Equity Holders, deposited in the Escrow Account) pursuant to each Option Cancellation Agreement shall be referred to as an “Option Cancellation Payment.” Each Option Cancellation Payment (except to the extent funded into the Escrow Account) shall be made by delivery of a Company payroll check in the case of Option Holders who are employees or former employees of the Company as of the Closing Date payable to the holder of Options to which such Option Cancellation Agreement relates, less any Taxes and other amounts required to be withheld with respect to such Option Cancellation Payment. The Parties shall cooperate, and covenant and agree to take all commercially reasonable actions, to structure the Option Cancellation Payments and the Closing Bonus Payments and the Parent’s funding of the Company’s obligation with respect thereto, such that the Tax deduction related to such payments is properly recorded by the Company in the period prior to the Closing. To such end, the Parties covenant and agree to not take any Tax or accounting position inconsistent with the foregoing and shall file all Tax and accounting information consistent with such approach. In the event that all or any portion of the Tax deduction related to the Option Cancellation Payments and/or the Closing Bonus Payments is finally determined not to be properly included in the Company’s final S Corporation Income Tax Returns for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date, the Parent shall pay to the Shareholders an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of the actual deduction related to the Option Cancellation Payments included in the final S Corporation Income Tax Return and (ii) the amount of such Tax deduction if such deduction had been fully included, calculated at 40% of the aggregate amount of such Option Cancellation Payments and/or Closing Bonus Payments, and any such amount so paid by the Parent pursuant to this sentence shall be characterized as additional Total Consideration. All Options not otherwise cancelled and terminated in accordance with this provision will be cancelled effective as of the Closing Date.

(d) At the Closing, Parent shall provide funds to the Company sufficient to permit the Company to pay directly to each bonus recipient whose name appears on Exhibit G, the amount set forth opposite his or her name and reflected as a “Closing Bonus Payment”, in each case subject to applicable withholding Taxes.

(e) At least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Representative shall submit documentation (the “Payoff Instructions”) setting forth (i) the amount of all Transaction Expenses, in each case reasonably expected as of the Closing Date, including the identity of each recipient, dollar amounts, wire instructions and any other information necessary to effect payment thereof, (ii) the wire instructions pursuant to which $200,000 will be wired to a segregated account maintained by the Representative for certain administrative and other purposes post-Closing (the “Reserve Account”) and (iii) the amount of any Indebtedness reasonably expected as of the Closing Date, together with payoff information and wire instructions with respect to each holder of such Indebtedness (the aggregate amount of such Indebtedness, the “Closing Date Indebtedness”). At the Closing, the Parent shall pay on behalf of the Company and the Shareholders and in each case in accordance with and as set forth in the Payoff Instructions, (x) all of the unpaid fees and expenses owed as of the Closing by the

Company to its investment bankers, attorneys or accountants or otherwise incurred by the Company (such fees and account being referred to as the “Transaction Expenses”) (y) the Reserve Account and (z) the Closing Date Indebtedness.

1.8 Adjustments to Total Consideration.

At and after the Closing Date, and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Total Consideration shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with this Section 1.8.

(a) Preliminary Consideration Adjustment. The Total Consideration shall be, increased or decreased at the Closing, as the case may be, by the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment, if applicable, as follows:

(i) Not later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall in good faith prepare and deliver to Parent an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), a statement setting forth its best estimate of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) and a statement setting forth the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment (taken together, the “Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement”). The Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with and using all of the same accounting principles, practices, methodologies, consistent classifications, valuations, judgments and policies as used in the Audited Financial Statements of the Company. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and in turn the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement shall not reflect any liabilities for Taxes, the Option Cancellation Payments, the Closing Bonus Payments, the Transaction Expenses and any other liabilities of the Company that will be paid on or prior to Closing. No liabilities shall be reflected on or accrued in the Estimated or Closing Balance Sheet for the 401(k)Employer Contribution Error (as herein defined). Parent shall review the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement and provide the Company with Parent’s comments and/or proposed adjustment(s) made in good faith to such Statement no later than two (2) business days after delivery to Parent of such Statement, and in the event of any dispute regarding such proposed Parent adjustments, the parties will (A) in good faith discuss and attempt to reach agreement regarding such adjustments prior to the Closing Date and (B) in the event agreement cannot be reached regarding the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (A), any undisputed adjustments to Estimated Net Working Capital shall be made, the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement and Estimated Net Working Capital set forth thereon, respectively, shall be amended to reflect such undisputed adjustments and either such amended Estimated Net Working Capital shall become the final definitive Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement and Estimated Net Working Capital, respectively, for purposes of Section 1.8 hereof (including without limitation Section 1.8(a)(ii) and Section 1.8(b)(v) hereof) or, if the disputed amounts are in excess of $1.0 million, at the Company’s request, Argy, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, P.C. (“Argy”) shall on a pre-Closing, preliminary basis and subject in all cases to the final determination of Closing Net Working Capital in accordance with Section 1.8(b), resolve such disputed items, whereupon such items, as resolved by Argy, shall be reflected in the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement and Estimated Net Working Capital. For the avoidance of doubt, the cash balance

reflected in the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet delivered by the Company shall be accompanied by appropriate bank confirmatory statements and shall not be subject to dispute.

(ii) In the event that the Estimated Net Working Capital as reflected on the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement is in excess of the Target Net Working Capital, then the Total Consideration shall be increased, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount of such excess. In the event that the Estimated Net Working Capital as reflected on the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Statement is less than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, then the Total Consideration shall be decreased, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount of such shortfall. “Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment” means the amount of the excess or shortfall as contemplated above which results in an increase or decrease, as the case may be, to the Total Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.8(a)(ii).

(b) Post-Closing Total Consideration Adjustment. The Total Consideration shall be subject to adjustment following the Closing Date as follows:

(i) Within forty-five (45) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Parent shall cause the Company to prepare and deliver to the Representative (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date, immediately prior to giving effect to the Closing, which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with and using all of the same accounting principles, practices, methodologies consistent classifications, valuations, judgments and policies used in the Audited Financial Statements of the Company (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a calculation of the Company’s net working capital as of the Closing Date based on the Closing Balance Sheet (which calculation shall be made in accordance with the example set forth in Section 1.8(b) of the Disclosure Schedule) (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), and together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall reflect all actions taken by the Company prior to the Closing and required to be set forth thereon, but shall expressly exclude any and all liabilities for any Taxes, the Option Cancellation Payments, the Closing Bonus Payments and the Transaction Expenses and any other liabilities paid on or prior to Closing. No liabilities shall be reflected on or accrued in the Closing Balance Sheet for the 401(k) Employer Contribution Error.

(ii) The Parent shall cause the Company to make available to the Representative and his independent accountants (if any) such books, records and personnel of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary for the Representative and his independent accountants to review the Closing Statement. Each Party shall pay the costs, if any, of its own accountants and advisors in connection with the adjustment to the Total Consideration contemplated by this Section 1.8(b).

(iii) Unless the Representative notifies the Parent in writing that he disagrees with any aspect of the Closing Statement (the “Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Closing Statement (which Objection Notice shall include the Representative’s objections, proposed revisions and the basis therefore, in each case in reasonable detail (the “Disputed Items”), along with any relevant supporting documents or data), then the amounts set forth in the Parent’s Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the Parties and the Total Consideration shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.8(b)(v) below. If

the Representative timely provides an Objection Notice to the Parent, then the Parent and the Representative will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve promptly any Disputed Items. All items other than Disputed Items shall be deemed to be agreed and shall be final and binding for the purposes of this Section 1.8(b). Any Disputed Items not resolved by the Parent and the Representative within thirty (30) calendar days after the Parent’s receipt of the Objection Notice (the “Remaining Disputed Items”), shall be resolved by a nationally-recognized accounting firm mutually-agreed upon by the Parent and the Representative, which accounting firm shall not have, as of the date of its engagement under this Section 1.8 and within the three (3) years prior to such engagement, a business relationship with Parent, the Company or the Representative (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be agreed-upon and engaged by the Parent and the Representative within ten (10) calendar days after Parent’s receipt of an Objection Notice. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid jointly, one-half by the Parent and one-half by the Principal Equity Holders. No later than thirty (30) calendar days after the engagement of the Accounting Firm, as evidenced by its written acceptance by facsimile or otherwise to the parties (the “Accounting Firm Engagement Date”), the Parent, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, shall each submit a brief to the Accounting Firm (with a copy to the other party) setting forth their respective positions regarding the Remaining Disputed Items. No later than thirty (30) calendar days after the earlier of (x) submission of the last brief, or (y) the thirtieth day after the Accounting Firm Engagement Date (the “Reply Deadline”), each of the Parent and the Representative shall submit a reply brief (with a copy to the other Party). The Accounting Firm shall render its decision resolving the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after the earlier of (A) submission of the last reply brief or (B) the Reply Deadline. If additional briefings, a hearing or other information is required by the accounting firm, the Accounting Firm shall give notice thereof to the Parties as soon as practicable before the expiration of such thirty (30) calendar day period, and the Parties shall promptly respond with a view to minimizing any delay in the decision date.

(iv) The Accounting Firm shall not be entitled to consider any items or matters other than the Remaining Disputed Items. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to render its decision in accordance with the terms hereof, including GAAP, and shall deliver a written report to the Parent and the Representative which sets forth its specific determinations with respect to the Remaining Disputed Items. The determination of the Accounting Firm for any of the Remaining Disputed Items cannot, however, be in excess of, nor less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, claimed for that particular item in the relevant Closing Statement, in the case of the Parent, or in the Objection Notice, in the case of the Representative. Each of the Parent and the Representative agrees that, absent manifest error, they shall be bound by the determination of the Remaining Disputed Items by the Accounting Firm and such determination shall be used by the Parties to prepare a final calculation of the Company’s Net Working Capital as of the Closing. The Closing Balance Sheet, as accepted by the Representative pursuant to Section 1.8(b)(iii), as agreed upon by the Parent and the Representative or as determined by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.8(b)(iv) shall be used to determine the Company’s net working capital (the “Finally Determined Net Working Capital”).

(v) If the Finally Determined Net Working Capital is greater than Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Parent shall deliver to the Shareholders and Principal Option Holders, pro rata based on their respective Allocation Percentages” funds in an amount equal to the difference between (x) Finally Determined Net Working Capital and (y) Estimated

Net Working Capital. If the Finally Determined Net Working Capital is less than Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Parent shall be entitled to receive from the Shareholders and Principal Option Holders, pro rata based on their respective Allocation Percentage, an amount equal to the difference between (x) Estimated Net Working Capital and (y) Finally Determined Net Working Capital. Up to $500,000 of any amounts due from the Shareholders and Principal Option Holders pursuant to this Section 1.8(b)(v) shall be paid from the Escrow Account.

(vi) All payments pursuant to this Section 1.8(b) shall be made in cash or same day funds within five (5) calendar days after the final determination of the Finally Determined Net Working Capital and shall include interest accrued thereon since the Closing Date at a floating rate equal to the U.S. dollar prime rate per annum, as quoted by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., from time to time during such period.

1.9 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Delivery of Closing Consideration. Each record holder of certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock to be exchanged pursuant to Section 1.6 (the “Certificates”), upon surrender to Parent or its designated representative of any Certificates for cancellation, together with a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Letter of Transmittal”) duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor the portion of the Closing Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement. At the Closing, Parent shall transmit the applicable portion of the Closing Consideration to which such holder is entitled in accordance with the terms hereof subject to receipt of all such holder’s Certificates for cancellation and such Letter of Transmittal. Until so surrendered, each Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Total Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate. Any holder of Company Stock who has not complied with this Article I shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) only as a general creditor thereof with respect to the applicable portion of the Total Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Stock, without any interest thereon.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the applicable portion of the Total Consideration.

9.3 Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Principal Equity Holders.

9.4 Claim Procedure. The Indemnified Party shall give written notice of any claim for indemnification hereunder to the Indemnifying Party. A claim for indemnification may be made at any time prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period with respect to such matter. The Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Company to make available to the Principal Equity Holders and their respective representatives (if any) such books, records and personnel of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary for the Principal Equity Holders to evaluate any claim for indemnification, subject to the execution by the Principal Equity Holders and their respective representatives of a non-disclosure agreement.

9.5 Claims Between the Parties. If the claim is not asserted against or sought to be collected by a third party, and neither the Principal Equity Holders (if the Principal Equity Holders are the Indemnifying Parties), or Parent (if Parent is the Indemnifying Party), notifies the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) business days that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In case an objection is made in writing, the Indemnified Party shall have fifteen (15) business days to respond in a written statement to the objection. If, after such fifteen (15) business day period, there remains a dispute as to any claim, the Parties shall attempt in good faith for twenty (20) business days to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect

to each such claim. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement and the agreed upon dollar amount of liability for such claim of the Party against whom the claim is made shall be prepared and signed by (or on behalf of) the Parties.

9.6 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of a claim or demand asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) business days of the date of the notice of the claim concerning the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party gives such notice of intent to defend, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof as follows: (i) the Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel compensated by and chosen by the Indemnifying Party, subject to the Indemnified Party’s reasonable prior approval of such counsel; (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at the sole cost and expense of Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In assuming the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may reserve the right to contest whether any or all of such claim is indemnifiable hereunder; provided, that, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly relinquish its right to represent the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim in the event the Indemnifying Party subsequently determines that it is not liable to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. If, however, (x) no Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) business days after the Indemnified Party has been given notice of the matter, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof or (y) the likely maximum liability under such Third Party Claim is greater than the available indemnification amount for the Indemnifying Party (after taking into account the amount of all other claims for which the Indemnifying Party may be or may be claimed to be liable and any limitations contained in Section 9.7 hereof), then the Indemnified Party shall defend against the claim. No failure or delay on the part of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 9, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby. The Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

9.7 Limitations on Liability.

(a) The Principal Equity Holders shall not be required to make any indemnification payments pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) until such time as the total amount of all Damages that have been suffered or incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties, and for which the Parent Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) hereof, exceeds $715,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), whereupon the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all Damages in excess of the Deductible; provided that in no event shall the Principal Equity Holders be liable under Section 9.2(a)(i) for any individual

items or aggregated items arising out of the same or similar facts, events or circumstances where the Damages relating thereto are less than $20,000 (the “Mini Basket”); provided, further, that neither the Deductible nor the Mini-Basket shall apply to (i) any claim based on fraud or any claim for indemnification for a breach of a Fundamental Company Representation, a Fundamental Shareholder Representation or a Statutory Representation, or (ii) any claim based on the Company’s error in connection with its annual nonelective employer contributions to its 401(k) Plan from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2008, as further described on Section 3.22(b) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “401(k) Employer Contribution Error”).

(b) (i) Except as set forth in Section 9.7(b)(ii), the Principal Equity Holders’ sole and exclusive liability for monetary damages under this Agreement, and the Parent Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive recourse for monetary damages against the Principal Equity Holders, for indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be limited to $14,300,000. Any indemnity claim that is the responsibility of the Principal Equity Holders shall first be satisfied from the Escrow Account.

(ii) The foregoing dollar limitations on the rights of the Parent Indemnified Parties to seek or recover monetary damages from the Principal Equity Holders shall not apply to the Principal Equity Holders’ liability for (x) claims for indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) with respect to breaches of any Fundamental Shareholder Representation, Fundamental Company Representation or Statutory Representation or (y) claims based on fraud, willful misconduct or criminal acts.

(c) The representations and warranties of each Shareholder contained in Article 2 and the Company contained in Article 3 constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of such Shareholder and the Company, as applicable, to the Parent and Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The representations and warranties of the Parent and Merger Sub contained in Article 4 constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Parent and Merger Sub to the Company and the Principal Equity Holders in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for such representations and warranties (in each case, as modified by the applicable sections of the Disclosure Schedule), none of Principal Equity Holders, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such Parties or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except for such representations and warranties (in each case, as modified by the applicable sections of the Disclosure Schedule), each Party hereby disclaims all liability and responsibility for any representation, warranty, projection, forecast, statement, or information made, communicated, or furnished (orally or in writing) to any other Party or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives (including opinion, information, projection, or advice that may have been or may be provided to any Party or any director, officer, employee, agent, consultant, or representative of such Party or any of its Affiliates).

(d) The amount of any Damages subject to indemnification by an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party or the Company under insurance policies, other sources of

indemnification, or otherwise, with respect to such Damages (net of documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such recovery); provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to seek to recover insurance proceeds or any other amounts from third parties prior to making an indemnification claim under this Article 9. Following the Closing, and without affecting the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder (unless proceeds are recovered), the Indemnified Party shall, where appropriate and commercially reasonable, make claims under applicable insurance policies, other than self-insurance or retrospective policies, but shall not have any obligation to engage in any litigation in connection therewith. In the event an Indemnified Party or the Company receives any recovery from insurers or otherwise with respect to such Damages after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment in respect of such Damages, the Indemnified Party or the Company, as the case may be, shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount actually received by it (net of any expenses incurred by such Person in collecting such amounts).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of determining the amount of Damages for which the parties are obligated to provide indemnification under this Article 9 (but not for purposes of determining whether any breach has occurred to create such indemnification obligations), all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Disclosure Schedule) that are qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect, or words of similar import or effect will be deemed to have been made without any such qualification.

(f) (i)The amount of any Damages subject to indemnification hereunder shall be net of the present value of any Tax Benefit which would reasonably be expected to occur (including by means of a “refund” as defined in Section 10.5) by any Parent Indemnified Party on account of such Damages, including with respect to any payment for Damages made hereunder and determined by using a discount rate of 13% and by applying the marginal blended federal and state income tax rate applicable to the relevant. Parent Indemnified Party for the year in which such Damages are paid. Parent and the Company agree to provide the Representative or its designated representatives with such documents and records reasonably requested by them that are relevant to their ability to determine when an amount is receivable from any Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.7(f). Nothing herein contained shall affect a party’s legal duty to mitigate damages.

(ii) In the event that any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 9.2, reduces the amount treated as aggregate deemed sales price for Tax purposes (“ADSP”) (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.338(h)(10)-1(d)(3) and §1.338-4) and such reduction in ADSP results in a Tax Detriment to the Parent resulting from the concomitant reduction in amortization and/or depreciation deductions (a “Tax Detriment), then the amount of the Tax Detriment shall be taken into account at such time as any Tax Benefit is determined and shall reduce the amount of such Tax Benefit. For purposes of this Section 9.7(f)(ii), a “Tax Detriment” shall mean the present value (determined by using a discount rate of 13%) of the tax detriment determined by applying the marginal blended federal and state income tax rate applicable to the Parent for the taxable year of the Tax Benefit to the reduction in amortization and/or depreciation deductions.

9.8 Subrogation. Upon making an indemnity payment pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party (excluding any material customer of the Company or the Parent) in respect of the Damages to which the payment related. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights.

9.9 Exclusive Remedy. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, should the Closing occur, the indemnification provisions of this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for breaches of representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the failure or non-performance of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or any other claim in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for (a) the remedies arising from claims based on fraud, (b) the equitable and other remedies available to the Parent contained in the Noncompetition Agreement, (c) the remedies contained in the adjustment provisions of Section 1.8 and (d) claims related to the 401(k) Employer Contribution Error, as set forth in Section 11.16(f). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies available in this Article 9 and the items excepted in the first sentence of this Section 9.9 supersede any other remedies available at law or in equity. The Parties covenant not to xxx, assert any arbitration claim or otherwise threaten any claim other than those expressly provided for under this Article 9 or pursuant to the items excepted in the first sentence of this Section 9.9.

9.10 Mitigation. The Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages which form the basis of a claim hereunder.

9.11 Adjustment to Total Consideration. The Parties agree that any indemnification payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration.

ARTICLE 10

TAX MATTERS

10.1 Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. The Shareholders shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns for the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including Tax Returns which reflect the deemed sale of the Company’s assets pursuant to the Section 338(h)(10) Election, and including any amendments to such Tax Returns. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Return in a manner consistent with the past practices with respect to such items, unless otherwise required by law. All deductions related to any transaction-related expense, including any deduction related to any compensatory payment (including, without limitation, the Option Cancellation Payments and the Closing Bonus Payments except to the extent Parent has paid Shareholders a purchase price adjustment for the tax benefits associated with such items as contemplated in Section 1.7(c)) shall be reported on the Company's federal income Tax Return for the taxable period that includes the Closing Date. The amounts due for Taxes of the Company with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Periods shall be paid from the Escrow Account.

10.2 Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. The Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which end after the Closing Date. In the case of any such Tax Returns for Tax periods that include the Closing Date, such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Return in a manner consistent with the past practices with respect to such items, unless otherwise required by law. Any such Tax Return shall be provided to Representative at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing, including any extensions, such Tax Return and the Representative shall have the right to comment on and approve such Tax Return which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. At least two days prior to the date on which Taxes are due with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be paid from the Escrow Account. For purposes of this Section 10.2, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Tax based upon income, gain or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date, (y) in the case of any sales and use taxes, be deemed to accrue as property is purchased, sold, used, or transferred; (z) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes described in clauses (x) and (y), be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period. Any credits relating to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company. Any deduction for transaction-related expenses of the Company including any deduction associated with the Option Cancellation Payments, the Closing Bonus Payments and any Transaction Expenses shall be allocable solely to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (or, in connection with any Straddle Period, the portion of such period ending on or before the Closing Date), except to the extent that Parent has paid to Shareholders a purchase price adjustment for the tax benefits associated with such Option Cancellation Payments or such Closing Bonus Payments as contemplated by Section 1.7(c).

10.3 Structuring Transaction-Related Expenses. To the extent requested by the Representative, Parent and Shareholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure or restructure the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to allow all deductions related to any transaction-related expense, including any deductions related to any compensatory payment (including, without limitation, the Option Cancellation Payments and the Closing Bonus Payments), to be properly reported on the Company's Income Tax Returns for the Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

10.4 Amended Returns. Neither the Parent nor, after the Closing, the Company, shall file or cause to be filed any Tax Return that relates to any Tax period or portion thereof that ends on or before the Closing Date without the consent of the Representative, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Representative. Neither Parent nor its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall to the extent it may affect or relate to the Company, make or change any Tax election, change any annual Tax accounting, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment, initiate any substantive discretionary

communication with any Taxing authority (or if communication is initiated by any Taxing authority, provide a substantive response) without the participation of the Representative or his advisors, surrender any right to claim a Tax refund, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitations period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment or take or omit to take any other action, if any such action or omission could reasonably be expected to have the effect of increasing Tax liability of the Shareholders or the Company for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (including the Shareholders’ liability hereunder) or increasing the risk of a Failed 338(h)(10) Election.

10.5 Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by the Parent , its Affiliates or the Company and any amounts credited against Tax to which any of the foregoing become entitled that relate to (i) any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) any other Tax indemnified by the Shareholders under the terms of this Agreement, shall be for the account of the Shareholders, and Parent shall pay over to the Shareholders, pro rata based on their respective pre-Closing share ownership, any such refund or the amount of any such credit within ten (10) days after receipt, entitlement or use. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “refund” shall mean the receipt of cash, an actual reduction in Tax paid and the use of an overpayment as a credit or other Tax offset by Parent, its Affiliates or the Company and any interest related to any of the foregoing.

10.6 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) The Parent, the Company and the Shareholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article 10 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and the execution of any Tax forms or filings requested by the other Party consistent with the provisions of Article 10. The Parent shall provide the Representative or its designated representatives with such documents as are reasonably requested by the Representative as necessary or desirable to implement the provisions of Section 10.1 (relating to the filing of Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods) and Section 10.8 (relating to Tax Contests). The Company and the Parent shall (A) retain any books and records in their possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) give the Representative reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the Representative so requests, allow the Representative to take possession of such books and records.

(b) The Parent and the Representative further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or

eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

10.7 Section 338(h)(10) Election.

Each of the Principal Shareholders will make (and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause each of the other Shareholders to make) and Parent agrees to make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to the Company and any comparable election under state Income Tax law (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) and the Principal Shareholders shall cooperate (and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause each of the other Shareholders to cooperate) in the completion and timely filing of such elections in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation §1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state Income Tax law) or any successor provision. In connection with the Closing, each Principal Shareholder shall deliver (and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause each other Shareholder to deliver) the executed Section 338 Forms to the Parent. The Parent shall be responsible for the filing of the Section 338 Forms. The Principal Shareholders (to the extent so advised by Parent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.7) will comply, and the Company will use reasonable efforts to cause the Shareholders to comply, fully with all reasonable filing and other requirements necessary to effectuate such Section 338(h)(10) Election on a timely basis and agree to cooperate in good faith with Parent in the preparation and timely filing of any additional forms, elections or Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the making of such Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Shareholders will include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election on their Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable Law. The Parent and Representative shall act in good faith to, within 100 days of the Closing Date (i) determine and agree upon the amount of the aggregate deemed sales price (“ADSP”) (within the meaning to Treas. Reg. §1.338(h)(10)-1(d)(3) and §1.338-4 and (ii) agree upon the proper allocations (the “Allocations”) of the ADSP among the assets of the Company in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.338(h)(10)-1(d) (3), §1.338-6, and §1.338-7 and Section 10.6 of the Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that if the Purchase Price is adjusted, including as a result of a final determination of the payments contemplated by Section 1.8(b) hereof, and such Purchase Price adjustment is finalized after ADSP and the Allocations have been determined hereunder, then Parent and the Representative shall act in good faith as soon as practicable and will make all reasonable efforts to so act within 14 days of the date such Purchase Price adjustment is finalized to determine and agree upon the appropriate adjustments to be made to ADSP and the Allocations as a result of such Purchase Price adjustment. None of the Parties shall take any position on any Tax Return inconsistent with the Allocations and each of the Parties shall reflect the Allocations where relevant in all Tax filings, including IRS Form 8883.

10.8 Section 338(g) Election. Neither Parent nor the Company shall make any election under Section 338(g) of the Code (or any comparable provisions of state or local Income Tax law) or any successor provision.

10.9 Tax Matters. Parent shall promptly provide the Representative with written notice of any audit, investigation or claim by any Taxing authority that could give rise to an obligation on the part of any Shareholder to indemnify any Parent Indemnified Party under this Agreement or any other Tax that may be the Shareholders’ responsibility. If any Taxing

authority conducts any audit or investigation relating to the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or with respect to any Tax for which the Shareholders are responsible including, without limitation, any item that could give rise to an Estimated Tax Increase resulting from a Failed 338(h)(10) Election, the Representative may, in his sole election, have the right to represent the Company in such audit or investigation and to provide any response required in connection therewith; provided that Parent shall receive copies of all filings and documents and may participate at its own expense in such proceedings to the extent that such proceedings relate to any Straddle Period, or otherwise relates to a Tax for which the Shareholders may not be solely responsible. In no event shall Parent and, after the Closing Date, the Company, settle any audit or investigation relating to any period or portion thereof that ends on or before the Closing Date or any Tax for which the Shareholders are responsible without the prior written consent of the Representative, which consent will be withheld in the Representative’s sole discretion as it relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (but only if the Shareholders are fully responsible for any such Tax) and otherwise shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed to the extent that it relates to any Straddle Period or relates to any Tax for which the Shareholders may not be fully responsible.

10.10 Transfer Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and other governmental charges, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne one-half by the Shareholders and one-half by the Parent. The Parent agrees to file all required change of ownership and similar statements.
