(b) The Company will prepare and deliver to Parent at least one (1) business day before the Closing Date an unaudited balance sheet of the Company prepared on an estimated basis as of midnight the day prior to the day required to prepare and deliver the unaudited balance sheet on the day prior to the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), which shall include detailed supporting calculations of (i) the estimated Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Indebtedness”); (ii) the estimated Members’ Equity as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Members’ Equity”), calculated without regard to the Transaction Related Members’ Equity Charges but with full regard to the effects of the Investor Recapitalization; and (iii) the estimated Working Capital of the Company at the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to reasonable exceptions such as the absence of footnotes and customary year-end audit adjustments, in a manner consistent with the methods and practices used to prepare the audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 (the “2005 Balance Sheet”). The Company will deliver with the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, including the Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Members’ Equity and Estimated Closing Working Capital, a certification executed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer that the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet is being delivered in good faith and fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Company as of 12:01 a.m. the day before the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to reasonable exceptions such as the absence of footnotes and customary year-end audit adjustments. For example, assuming a Closing Date of July 15, 2007, the Company shall deliver the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet on the morning of July 14, 2007 reflecting business activities as of and through July 13, 2007.

SECTION 2.03 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Within 75 days after the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Members’ Representative written notice (the “Adjustment Notice”) containing an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), including detailed supporting calculations of (i) the Indebtedness of the Company less Members’ Subordinated Debt as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Indebtedness”), (ii) the Members’ Equity of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Members’ Equity”), (iii) the Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (“Closing Working Capital”) and (iv) Parent’s calculation of the amount of any Initial Merger Consideration adjustment required pursuant to Section 2.03(i) (“Adjustment Amount”), if any. If Parent represents that no Adjustment Amount is due and required, the Adjustment Notice shall so state. The Closing Balance Sheet, including the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Members’ Equity and Closing Working Capital, will be prepared in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with the methods and practices used to prepare the Estimated Balance Sheet, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Working Capital, and Estimated Members’ Equity.

(b) Within 30 days after delivery of the Adjustment Notice, the Members’ Representative will deliver to Parent a written response in which the Members’ Representative will either:

(i) agree in writing with the Closing Balance Sheet as set forth in the Adjustment Notice, in which case such calculations of Closing Indebtedness, Closing Members’ Equity, Closing Working Capital and Adjustment Amount, if any, will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.03(i); or

(ii) dispute Parent’s calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Closing Members’ Equity, Closing Working Capital or Adjustment Amount, if any, as set forth in the Adjustment Notice by delivering to Parent a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such disputed item and certifying that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith.

(c) If the Members’ Representative fails to take either of the foregoing actions within 30 days after delivery of the Adjustment Notice, then the Company will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted Parent’s calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Closing Members’ Equity, Closing Working Capital and/or Adjustment Amount, if any, as set forth in the Adjustment Notice, in which case such calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Closing Members’ Equity, Closing Working Capital and Adjustment Amount will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.03(i).

(d) If the Members’ Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to Parent within 30 days after delivery of the Adjustment Notice, then Parent and the Members’ Representative will attempt in good faith, for a period of 30 days, to agree on the calculations of Closing Indebtedness, Closing Members’ Equity, Closing Working Capital and Adjustment Amount for purposes of Section 2.03(i). Any resolution by Parent and the Members’ Representative during such 30-day period as to any disputed items will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.03(i). If Parent and the Members’ Representative do not resolve all disputed items by the end of 30 days after the date of delivery of the Dispute Notice, then Parent and the Members’ Representative will submit the remaining items in dispute to Xxxx & Associates, LLP, or if that firm is unwilling or unable to serve, Parent and the Members’ Representative will engage another mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of recognized national standing, which is not the regular auditing firm of Parent or the Company. If Parent and the Members’ Representative are unable to jointly select such independent accounting firm within 10 days after such 30-day period, Parent and the Members’ Representative will each select an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing and each such selected accounting firm will select a third independent accounting firm of recognized national standing, which is not the regular auditing firm of Parent or the Company (such selected independent accounting firm, whether pursuant to this sentence or the preceding sentence, the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Independent Accounting Firm will act as arbitrator to determine (based solely upon presentations made by Parent and the Members’ Representative and not by independent audit or review) only those items still in dispute. The Purchaser and the Members’ Representative will instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination with respect to the items in dispute in a written report that specifies the conclusions of the Independent Accounting Firm as to each item in dispute and the resulting calculations and determination of the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Members’ Equity, Closing Working Capital and the Adjustment Amount. The Purchaser and the Members’ Representative will each use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination within 30 days after referral of the items to such firm or as soon thereafter as

reasonably practicable. The determinations of the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Members’ Equity, Closing Working Capital and Adjustment Amount will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.03(i). Parent will revise the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Members’ Equity, Closing Working Capital and Adjustment Amount as appropriate to reflect the resolution of the issues in dispute pursuant to this Section 2.03 and Parent will provide instructions to the Escrow Agent consistent with such resolution. Any payment from the Escrow Fund for an Adjustment Amount shall be payable in Escrow Shares; provided, that, the Members’ Representative may elect to have an Adjustment Amount paid from Proceeds or in other cash provided by the Members in lieu of Escrow Shares. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be shared by Parent and the Members in proportion to the relative amounts of the disputed amount (as ultimately resolved) determined to be for the account of Parent and the Members, respectively. For example, if the final Adjustment Amount is forty percent (40%) of the Parent’s original Adjustment Amount as determined in accordance with Section 2.03(a), the Members shall pay forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and Parent shall pay the remaining sixty percent (60%) of such fees and expenses.

(e) For purposes of complying with this Section 2.03, Parent and the Members’ Representative will furnish to each other and to the Independent Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accounting Firm may request and as are available to that party (or its independent public accountants) and each party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material related to the disputed items and to discuss the items with the Independent Accounting Firm. Parent must require that the Independent Accounting Firm enter into a customary form of confidentiality agreement with respect to the work papers and other documents and information regarding the matters, including financial information contained in the Adjustment Notice and Dispute Notice, provided to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.03.

(f) If the Closing Indebtedness as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.03 is less than or equal to $49,400,000, then no adjustment shall be made. If the Closing Indebtedness as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.03 is greater than the $49,400,000, then the Members will pay to Parent the amount of such difference pursuant to Section 2.03(i) below.

(g) If the Closing Working Capital is less than 13.0% of the average annualized monthly revenues of the Company using the three (3) completed months immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Target Working Capital”), an example of the calculation of which is set forth on Schedule 2.03(g) for the period ending June 30, 2006, then the Members will pay to Parent the amount of such difference pursuant to Section 2.03(i) below.

(h) All payments required to be made by the Members, on a pro rata basis in proportion to each Member’s share (carried to five decimal places) of the Company Interests, pursuant to Sections 2.03(f) and 2.03(g) will be satisfied by payment from the Escrow Shares (based on the Escrow Per Share Market Value (as defined below) of the Parent Common Stock at such time) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement or otherwise as

permitted by Section 2.03(d) above. The Members will be jointly and severally liable for any amount by which any payments required under Sections 2.03(f) or 2.03(g) exceed the Escrow Fund. All adjustments to the Initial Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.03 will be applied to the Initial Merger Consideration to be received by each Member pro-rata based in proportion to each Member’s Share (carried to five decimal point places) of the Initial Merger Consideration. The term “Escrow Per Share Market Value” shall mean for any date, the price determined by calculating the average of the closing per share prices of the Parent Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) (as reported on AMEX) or such other stock exchange on which Parent Common Stock may then be trading (based on a Trading Day closing at 4:02 p.m. New York City time) for the twenty days prior to any distribution date as described in the Escrow Agreement.

(i) The payments pursuant to Sections 2.03(f) and 2.03(g) will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Initial Merger Consideration and the Initial Merger Consideration as so adjusted is referred to in this Agreement as the “Merger Consideration.”

SECTION 2.04 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Procedures. From and after the Effective Time, a bank or trust company to be designated by Parent shall act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in effecting the exchange of the applicable Parent Shares, Parent Warrants, Redemption Liability Shares, if any, and Redemption Warrants, if any, for certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding membership interests of Company Interests (“Company Interest Certificates”) and which were converted into the right to receive the applicable Parent Shares, Parent Warrants, Redemption Liability Shares, if any, and Redemption Warrants, if any, pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 2.08. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall mail to each record holder of Company Interest Certificates a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in a form approved by Parent and the Company and instructions for use in surrendering such Company Interest Certificates and receiving the applicable Parent Shares, Parent Warrants, Redemption Liability Shares, if any, and Redemption Warrants, if any, pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 2.08. Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event later than ten (10) business days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited in escrow with the Escrow Agent all of the Escrow Shares and Escrow Warrants in the names set forth on Schedule 2.04(a) (collectively, the “Escrow Securities”). As used in this Agreement, “Escrow Warrants” shall refer to all Parent Warrants and Redemption Warrants, if any, issued to the Contributing Members and deposited in escrow with the Escrow Agent.

Upon the surrender of each Company Interest Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent:

(i) Parent shall cause to be issued to the holder of such Company Interest Certificate in exchange therefor separate certificates representing the Parent Shares, Parent Warrants, Redemption Liability Shares, if any, and Redemption Warrants, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 2.08;

(ii) all Escrow Securities shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held as Escrow Shares pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; and

(iii) the Company Interest Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(b) Escrow Fund.

(i) Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, the Members’ Representative and Parent shall enter into an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”) with the Escrow Agent, or if the Escrow Agent is unwilling or unable to serve, then such other financial institution of at least $500,000,000 in total assets mutually acceptable to the Members’ Representative and Parent. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agreement (i) one or more stock certificates representing the Escrow Shares, and (ii) one or more warrants representing the Escrow Warrants issued to the Contributing Members at Closing and related irrevocable stock powers in the name of the Contributing Members representing the Escrow Securities, which account is to be managed by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”). Any Escrow Securities and Proceeds in the Escrow Account are collectively referred to herein as the “Escrow Fund”. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that so long as a bona fide, good faith claim for indemnification has not been made by Parent, that (i) the entirety of the Escrow Fund remain with the Escrow Agent for (18) eighteen months, (ii) after completion of (18) eighteen months post Closing, that portion of Escrow Shares (and/or any Proceeds or common stock of Parent received by the Contributing Members by virtue of the exercise of Parent Warrants and Redemption Warrants) in excess of $3,000,000 in value based on the Escrow Per Share Market Value be released to the Contributing Members as well as the entirety of the Escrow Warrants and (iii) upon completion of (60) sixty months after Closing, the Escrow Account shall be closed and all remaining Escrow Shares and any and all other assets of the Contributing Members held in the Escrow Fund shall be released to the Members. In connection with such deposit of the Escrow Securities with the Escrow Agent and as of the Effective Time, each Contributing Member holder of Company Interests will be deemed to have constructively received and deposited with the Escrow Agent each Contributing Member’s pro rata interest in the Escrow Fund as determined as of Closing by reference to such Contributing Member’s ownership of Company Interests (plus any additional shares as may be issued upon any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization effected by Parent after the Effective Time with respect to shares constituting the Escrow Fund) as reflected on the Company Interest Certificates, without any further action by the Contributing Members. Distributions of any Escrow Securities or the Escrow Fund or Proceeds from the Escrow Account shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, but shall occur no later than the end of the indemnity periods as set forth in Section 10.01. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Members shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all the arrangements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the placement of the Escrow Securities and Proceeds in the Escrow Fund and the appointment of the Members’ Representative. No Escrow Securities contributed to the Escrow Fund shall be unvested or subject to any right of repurchase, risk of forfeiture or other condition in favor of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or other entity.

(ii) In the event of a claim relating to any claim for indemnification any Parent Indemnified Person (as defined in Section 10.02) may have under Article X (“Indemnification Claim”), Parent shall seek payment first out of the Escrow Fund. Such Indemnification Amounts shall be payable in Escrow Shares; provided, that the Members’ Representative may elect to have an Indemnification Amount paid from the Proceeds or in other cash provided by the Members in lieu of Escrow Shares. If the Escrow Fund has been reduced to zero, Parent shall then be entitled to seek payment for an unsatisfied Indemnification Amount directly from the Members, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article X.

(c) Distributions. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Escrow Shares comprising part of the Initial Merger Consideration with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Interest Certificate with respect to the Escrow Shares represented thereby until the holder of such Company Interest Certificate shall surrender such Company Interest Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.04. Dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Escrow Shares comprising part of the Merger Consideration with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the record owners of the Escrow Shares.

(d) No Further Rights in Company Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Parent Shares, the Parent Warrants, the Redemption Liability Shares and the Redemption Warrants issued upon the conversion of Company Interests in accordance with the terms hereof, including the registration rights applicable thereto, shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Interests.

(e) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion and exchange of Company Interest Certificates, and no holder of Company Interest Certificates shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock. In the event that any holder of Company Interest would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares and fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder), then such holder will receive an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock rounded up or down to the nearest whole share (with amounts equal to 0.5 and greater being rounded up).

(f) No Liability. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Interest for any such shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash properly and legally delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law (as defined in Section 3.06(a)); provided, however, that Parent shall promptly give the Members’ Representative written notice of any such occurrence and such holder of Company Interests shall have the opportunity to dispute the abandonment and reclaim the shares of Parent Common Stock and all related rights as if such occurrence had not occurred, provided such dispute is fairly determined for the benefit of the Member or Members affected.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration

otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Interest such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax (as defined in Section 3.15(c)) Law, including but not limited to federal and state withholdings as related to the compensatory component of the Merger Consideration that relates to the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Interest in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be. Any amounts so withheld shall be properly and timely transmitted to the appropriate parties.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Company Interest Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company Interest Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Interest Certificate, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Interest Certificate, the applicable Parent Shares (and dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.04(c)), Parent Warrants, Redemption Liability Shares (and dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.04(c)), and Redemption Warrants to which such person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

SECTION 2.05 Membership Interest Transfer Books. Commencing on the date hereof, the membership interest transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration or transfers of shares of Company Interest thereafter on the records of the Company other than as required to comply with the terms of this Agreement and the Plans. From and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Company Interest Certificate shall cease to have any rights as a member of the Company, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.

SECTION 2.06 Earnout Awards.

(a) From time to time after the Effective Time, the Members shall be entitled to an earnout award payable in shares of Parent Common Stock (“Earnout Award”) pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06 below.

(b) On the date on which any holder (a “Warrant Holder”) of a warrant (other than a Parent Warrant and a Redemption Warrant) to purchase Parent Common Stock (an “Index Warrant”), elects to exercise such Index Warrant (each a “Measurement Date”), Parent shall calculate and record the average Trading Price (each an “Earnout Per Share Market Value”) of the Parent Common Stock for each of the 3 trading days prior to such Measurement Date (each a “Measurement Period”). As used herein, the term “Trading Price” shall mean the closing trading price per share of Parent Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the American Stock Exchange (as reported on AMEX) or such other stock exchange on which the Parent Common Stock may then be trading.

(c) On June 30, 2008 (the “Initial Determination Date”), Parent shall determine the initial Earnout Award payable to the Members for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on June 30, 2008 (the “Initial Determination Period”). Subsequent Earnout Awards shall be determined on:

(i) June 30, 2009 (the “Second Determination Date”) for the period beginning on July 1, 2008 and ending on June 30, 2009 (the “Second Determination Period”); and

(ii) April 30, 2010 (unless extended to June 30, 2010 by the mutual written consent of the parties hereto) (the “Third Determination Date”, and together with the Initial Determination Date and the Second Determination Date, each a “Determination Date”) for the period beginning on July 1, 2009 and ending on April 30, 2010 (or June 30, 2010) (the “Third Determination Period”, and together with the Initial Determination Period and the Second Determination Period, each a “Determination Period”).

(d) On each Determination Date, Parent shall calculate the respective Earnout Award as follows (an example of such calculation is set forth on Schedule 2.06(d) attached hereto):

(i) first, for each exercise of an Index Warrant during such Determination Period, multiply (A) the respective Earnout Per Share Market Value for such exercise by (B) the number of shares issued pursuant to such Index Warrant exercise (the “Total Exercised Warrant Value”);

(ii) second, calculate (A) the aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to all Index Warrant exercises during such Determination Period, (B) the aggregate Total Exercised Warrant Values from all exercises for such Determination Period and (C) the per share weighted average amount of the Total Exercised Warrant Values for all Index Warrant exercises during such Determination Period;

(iii) third, multiply (A) the number of shares calculated in Section 2.06(d)(ii)(A) by (B) $5.00;

(iv) fourth, subtract (A) the number determined in Section 2.06(d)(iii) from (B) the aggregate Total Exercised Warrant Values for such Determination Period;

(v) if the amount determined in Section 2.06(d)(iv) above is greater than zero, Parent shall issue to the Members shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the amount determined in Section 2.06(d)(iv) above divided by (B) the amount determined in Section 2.06(d)(ii)(C) (“Earnout Award Shares”).

(e) Within fifteen (15) days of each Determination Date, Parent shall provide written notice to the Members’ Representative as to the number of Earnout Award Shares, if any, (an “Earnout Notice”). Such Earnout Notice shall also contain Parent’s calculation of such Earnout Award Shares pursuant to Section 2.06(c).

(f) Within 15 days after delivery of an Earnout Notice, the Members’ Representative will deliver to Parent a written response in which the Members’ Representative will either:

(i) agree in writing with the contents of the Earnout Notice, in which case such calculations of the Earnout Award Shares (the “Earnout Award Calculation”), if any, will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.06; or

(ii) dispute Parent’s determination of the Earnout Award Calculations, if any, as set forth in a written notice (a “Earnout Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such disputed item and certifying that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith.

(g) If the Members’ Representative fails to take either of the foregoing actions within 15 days after delivery of the Earnout Notice, then the Company and Members will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted Parent’s determination of such Earnout Notice, in which case such determination of the Earnout Award Calculation will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.06(j).

(h) If the Members’ Representative delivers an Earnout Dispute Notice to Parent within 15 days after delivery of the Earnout Notice, then Parent and the Members’ Representative will attempt in good faith, for a period of 15 days, to agree on the calculations for purposes of Section 2.06. Any resolution by Parent and the Members’ Representative during such 15-day period as to any disputed items will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.06. If Parent and the Members’ Representative do not resolve all disputed items by the end of 15 days after the date of delivery of the Earnout Dispute Notice, then Parent and the Members’ Representative will submit the remaining items in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm and the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(d) shall be utilized to resolve the disputed items. The determinations of the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to the Earnout Award Calculation will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.06. Parent will revise all of the affected changes in the Earnout Award Calculation as appropriate to reflect the resolution of the issues in dispute pursuant to this Section 2.06.

(i) For purposes of complying with this Section 2.06, Parent and the Members’ Representative will furnish to each other and to the Independent Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accounting Firm may request and as are available to that party (or its independent public accountants) and each party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Firm any material related to the disputed items and to discuss the items with the Independent Firm. Parent must require that the Independent Firm enter into a customary form of confidentiality agreement with respect to the work papers and other documents and information regarding the matters, including financial information contained in the Earnout Notice and Earnout Dispute Notice, provided to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.06.

(j) Once the Earnout Calculation is finalized, Parent shall issue such Earnout Award Shares to the Members as determined by the Earnout Calculation pursuant to

Section 2.06(k) and (j) herein. Notwithstanding if the amount determined in Section 2.06(d)(iv) above is zero or less than zero, Parent not shall issue any Earnout Award Shares to the Members. Parent shall promptly prepare and file with AMEX a Notification Form for Listing Additional Shares with respect to any Earnout Award Shares to be issued pursuant to Section 2.06 and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to such issuance of any Earnout Award Shares, approval for the listing of such Earnout Award Shares, subject to official notice to AMEX of issuance.

(k) In the event that prior to the expiration of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, the Members are issued Earnout Award Shares, any of such Earnout Award Shares issued to the Contributing Members and the possession thereof shall be given by the Contributing Members to the Escrow Agent as soon as practicable. All of the rights, duties and obligations with respect to said Earnout Award Shares shall be equivalent to the rights, duties and obligations with respect to the Parent Shares, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, including but not limited to the rights granted to the Members under the Registration Rights Agreement.

(l) Return of Parent Warrants and Redemption Warrants. In exchange for an Earnout Award, each Member shall surrender a number of Parent Warrants and/or Redemption Warrants exercisable for an amount of Parent Common Stock equal to such Earnout Award to Parent, together with such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent.

(m) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Section 2.06, and no Member shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.06. In the event that any Member would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.06, then such Member will receive an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock rounded up or down to the nearest whole share (with amounts greater than 0.5 being rounded up). If the Parent Warrant or Redemption Warrant shall have been exercised in part, Parent shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Parent Warrants or Redemption Warrants, deliver to holder a new Parent Warrant or new Redemption Warrant, as the case may be, evidencing the rights of holder to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock called for by the Parent Warrant or the Redemption Warrant, which new Parent Warrant or Redemption Warrant, as the case may be, shall in all other respects be identical with the original Parent Warrant or the original Redemption Warrant.

SECTION 2.07 Securities Laws Issues. Parent shall issue the Parent Shares and Parent Warrants as provided in Section 2.01, the shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 2.06 of this Agreement and the Redemption Liability Shares and Redemption Warrants pursuant to a “private placement” exemption or exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and an exemption from qualification under the laws of the State of Texas and other applicable state securities laws notwithstanding that the Parent Shares, Parent Warrants, Redemption Liability Shares, Redemption Warrants, and Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Earnout Award shall be entitled to their respective rights specified in the Registration Rights Agreement. Parent and the Company shall comply with all applicable provisions of, and rules under, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws in

connection with the offering and issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement. Such Parent Shares, Parent Warrants, Redemption Liability Shares, Redemption Warrants and Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Earnout Award will be “restricted securities” under the Federal and state securities laws and cannot be offered or resold except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from registration.

(vi) Sixth, determine the Redemption Liability Amount by multiplying the Redemption Price Differential by Shares in Excess of Safe Harbor; and

The determinations of the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to the Redemption Calculations will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.08. Parent will revise all of the affected changes in the Redemption Calculations as appropriate to reflect the resolution of the issues in dispute pursuant to this Section 2.08.

Parent must require that the Independent Firm enter into a customary form of confidentiality agreement with respect to the work papers and other documents and information regarding the matters, including financial information contained in the Redemption Notice and Redemption Dispute Notice, provided to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.08.

(g) Once the Redemption Calculations are finalized, Parent shall issue the Redemption Liability Shares and Redemption Warrants to the Members pro rata based in proportion to each Member’s share (carried to five decimal point places) of the Company Interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the amount of Redemption Liability Shares is zero (0) or negative, then the Members shall not be entitled to receive any additional shares of Parent Common Stock under this Section 2.08. If there are any Redemption Liability Shares to be issued to the Members, on or about the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.08, such Redemption Liability Shares shall be issued to each of the Members together with two Redemption Warrants, substantially in the identical form of the Parent Warrants, for each Redemption Liability Share issued pursuant to this Section 2.08(g).

(h) Distributions, dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Redemption Liability Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the record owners of Redemption Liability Shares.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares or Redemption Liability Shares shall be issued. In the event that any Member would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of a Redemption Liability Share (after aggregating all shares and fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder under this Section 2.08 and otherwise under this Agreement), then such holder will receive an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock rounded up or down to the nearest whole share (with amounts equal to 0.5 and greater being rounded up).

(k) Any issuance of Redemption Liability Shares and Redemption Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.08 will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Initial Merger Consideration and the Initial Merger Consideration as so adjusted is referred to in this Agreement as the “Merger Consideration”.

INDEMNIFICATION

(a) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Members contained in this Agreement and any other document or certificate relating hereto (collectively, the “Acquisition Documents”) shall survive the Effective Time for a period of 18 months; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.14 shall survive the Effective Time for a period of 36 months; provided further that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.13, 3.15 and 3.16 (the “Company Basic Representations”) shall survive until the end of the applicable statute of limitations pertinent thereto in each instance. Neither the period of survival nor the liability of the Members with respect to the Company’s and such Members’ representations and warranties shall be affected by any investigation made at any time (whether before or after the Effective Time) by or on behalf of Parent or by any actual, implied or constructive knowledge or notice of any facts or circumstances that Parent may have as a result of any such investigation or otherwise.

(b) The representations and warranties of Parent and the Merger Sub contained in the Acquisition Documents shall survive the Effective Time for a period of 18 months; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 5.05(a), 5.07, 5.08, 5.11, 5.14, 5.16, 5.17 and 5.19 (the “Parent Basic Representations”) shall survive until the end of the applicable statute of limitations pertinent thereto in each instance; provided, that, in the event any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.16 by Parent or Merger Sub is due to any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.32 (subject to its survival period pursuant to Section 10.01(a)) by the Company, the representations and warranties of Parent and the Merger Sub contained in Section 5.16 shall only survive from the Effective Time for a period of 18 months. Neither the period of survival nor the liability of Parent and Merger Sub with respect to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s representations and warranties shall be affected by any investigation made at any time (whether before or after the Effective Time) by or on behalf of the Company or by any actual, implied or constructive knowledge or notice of any facts or circumstances that the Company may have as a result of any such investigation or otherwise.

(c) The parties hereto agree that reliance shall not be an element of any claim for misrepresentation or indemnification under this Agreement. The waiver by any party of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or based on the performance of, or compliance with, any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations. If written notice of a claim has been given in good faith prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties by any party, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.

SECTION 10.02 Indemnification by the Members.

(a) After the Effective Time, Parent and its affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation), officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Members, jointly and severally, for any and all liabilities, losses, damages of any kind, diminution in value, claims, costs, expenses, fines, fees, deficiencies, interest, awards, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and penalties (including, without limitation, attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses and other costs of defending, investigating or settling claims) suffered, incurred, accrued (in accordance with GAAP) or paid by them (including, without limitation, in connection with any action brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty (without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality (or similar qualifications) contained therein) made by the Company or any Member in the Acquisition Documents;

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Member in the Acquisition Documents;

(iii) Losses from breach of contract or other claims made by any party that had a contractual or other right to acquire the Company’s membership interests or assets;

(iv) any cost, loss or other expense (including the value of any Tax deduction lost) as a result of the application of Section 280G of the Code to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement plus any necessary gross up amount; or

(v) any Member Expenses paid by the Surviving Corporation following the Closing.

(ii) no indemnification payment by the Members with respect to any indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable under Section 10.02(a) and arising out of or resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 10.02(a)(i) shall be payable until such time as all such indemnifiable Losses shall aggregate to more than $500,000, after which time the Members shall be liable in full for all indemnifiable Losses in excess of the first $500,000.

(d) In the event of a claim relating to any Indemnification Claim any Parent Indemnified Person may have under Article X, Parent shall seek payment first out of the Escrow Fund.

SECTION 10.03 Indemnification by Parent and Merger Sub.

(a) After the Effective Time, the Members shall be indemnified and held harmless by Parent and Merger Sub (collectively, the “Member Indemnified Parties”) for any Losses arising out of or resulting from :

(a) For purposes of this Section 10.03, a party against which indemnification may be sought is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party” and the party which may be entitled to indemnification is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”.

(b) The obligations and liabilities of Indemnifying Parties under this Article X with respect to Losses arising from actual or threatened claims or demands by any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article X (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim within 15 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release an Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnification claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 15 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim if (i) any such claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary losses, any injunctive or other equitable relief, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of the adequacy of the Escrow Fund to provide indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement with respect to such proceeding, (iii) there is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate (in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its reasonable discretion) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim may establish (in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party) a precedential custom or practice adverse to the business interests of the Indemnified Party or would increase the Tax liability of the Indemnified Party; provided further, that if by reason of the Third Party Claim a Lien, attachment, garnishment, execution or other encumbrance is placed upon any of the property or assets of such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party, if it desires to exercise its right to assume such defense of the Third Party Claim, must agree to use a portion of the Escrow Fund to furnish a satisfactory

indemnity bond to obtain the prompt release of such Lien, attachment, garnishment, execution or other encumbrance. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, it will conduct the defense actively, diligently and at its own expense, and, subject to the limits of this Agreement, it will hold all Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all Losses caused by or arising out of any settlement thereof. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. Except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Indemnifying Party will not, in the defense of a Third Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnified Party by the third party of a release from all liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) unless there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof), (B) any liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof) or (C) any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims of a similar nature that may be made by the same third party against the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof); or (iii) which exceeds the limits of indemnification set forth in this Agreement.

(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of an Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party had the right to assume pursuant to Section 10.03(c), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend or prosecute such claim in any manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate and may settle such claim after giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as such Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement from the Escrow Fund for any Losses incurred in connection with such settlement. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement from the Escrow Fund for any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in accordance with GAAP). If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim which it has the right to assume hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to do so.

(e) In the event that the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.03(c), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend or prosecute such claim and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate after giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement from the Escrow Fund for any Losses incurred in connection with such judgment or settlement. In such case, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto

as is reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement from the Escrow Fund for any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in accordance with GAAP).
